Our series of articles on the best Free Hit squad for Blank Gameweek 31 concludes with a look at Fantasy Premier League forwards.

Using data that can be found in the Fantasy Football Scout Members’ Area, we have assessed which options are the most likely to find the back of the net, offer assists, or provide a combination of both.

Members can read on and take in our analysis, but those without membership can still enjoy Tuesday’s article on goalkeepers for free.

    West Ham's inability to keep a clean sheet

    Vs

    Huddersfield's inability to score

    Something's got to give, and its fab's cs again, right?

    1. _Make
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      They keep the odd one at home. You (we 🙂 ) might be OK.

    2. Volley127
      • 13 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      Felipe anderson own goal.

      1-0 Hudd

    3. Lionel Ronaldo
        7 years, 2 months ago

        "An immovable body vs An unstoppable force"

        Or rather, a movable body vs a stoppable force?

    4. _Make
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      The only thing about the Mané issue for me is... Why would Klopp be coy about whether he would start against Fulham? Against Barcelona in the CL final maybe, but not Fulham surely?

    5. Lallana_
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      Brooks or Snodgrass as my 5th midfielder? benching sterling

      1. dunas_dog
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        7 years, 2 months ago

        Snoddy

    6. Niho992
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      Ok lads, big help here. 2 FT and 0.8 ITB.

      Boruc
      VVD-Pereira
      Salah-Hazard
      Arnautovic

      Ederson
      AWB-Bednarek-Doherty
      Sterling-Guendozi-Pogba
      Jimenez-Rashford

      I will use 3 transfer (-4), My first plan was to bring Mane,Maddison and Wilson, but Mane is doubt so which 3 players would you bring here ??

      THX in ADVANCE !

      1. TorresMagic™
        • Has Moderation Rights
        • 16 Years
        7 years, 2 months ago

        3 of the Scout Picks.
        You can blame them if you fail.

        1. Niho992
          • 7 Years
          7 years, 2 months ago

          wow you really helped me here. thx.

          1. TorresMagic™
            • Has Moderation Rights
            • 16 Years
            7 years, 2 months ago

            Why are you changing your mind on the other 2 you mentioned?

            1. Niho992
              • 7 Years
              7 years, 2 months ago

              Im not. I will bring Maddison and Wilson surely, but if Mane is doubt then i dont now who to bring... maybe Firmino

    7. thomashl
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      Currently on 10 players (-8).

      Go -12 for Azpi or Rice and field 11?

      Fab
      Trent Robbo
      Fanderson Salah(c) Haz Fraser
      Barnes Vardy Wilson

      1. michudagawd
        • 13 Years
        7 years, 2 months ago

        No need. 10 is more than enough.

      2. _Make
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 2 months ago

        Try not to think about it as -12. It's in the past and clouds your judgement and the advice you get here.

        It's a -4 and I'd say go for it.

    8. Sarri-ball
      • 16 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      Free hit team thoughts? few gambles

      Fab
      Rice/Robertson/ale
      Mane/salah/hazard/Pedro
      Wilson/arnie/vardy

      1. JT11fc
        • 7 Years
        7 years, 2 months ago

        I like the Pedro pick, not sure id have arnie tho maybe bournemouth mid instead

      2. Emp
        • 14 Years
        7 years, 2 months ago

        like it

    9. TheSteel
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      Anyone else going King over Wilson?

      1. Flynny
        • 11 Years
        7 years, 2 months ago

        Getting both

    10. Lionac
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      Fraser for -4 sounds reasonable?

      1. TorresMagic™
        • Has Moderation Rights
        • 16 Years
        7 years, 2 months ago

        Most hits are reasonable if a blank player for one you'll play in 31/33.

      2. JT11fc
        • 7 Years
        7 years, 2 months ago

        Slight injury worry but id go for it

      3. semiconductor
        • 11 Years
        7 years, 2 months ago

        I think so

    11. storr84
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      Already have Fraser:

      A, Vardy, Brooks, TAA, - 8 (10 players)
      B, TAA, Wilson, -4 (9 players)

      1. Sandy Ravage
        • 10 Years
        7 years, 2 months ago

        A

      2. Sandy Ravage
        • 10 Years
        7 years, 2 months ago

        depending on which players you're taking out

        1. storr84
          • 9 Years
          7 years, 2 months ago

          Jimenez, Pogba, Doherty.

          1. Not again Shirley
            • 9 Years
            7 years, 2 months ago

            Nooo they all play twice following week so what’s the point in those moves.

            1. storr84
              • 9 Years
              7 years, 2 months ago

              FH next week, mate.

        2. semiconductor

          This

          1. storr84
            • 9 Years
            7 years, 2 months ago

            A?

    12. Weasel Boy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      Im keeping Poggy.
      So Kun to who?

      A) Higs
      B) Rondon
      C) Barnes.

      Thanks

      1. Weasel Boy
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        7 years, 2 months ago

        Drogba

      2. Emp
        • 14 Years
        7 years, 2 months ago

        you cant ask for opinion on choices of such varying price points unless you can say how you would be likely to use the excess cash in future

        1. Weasel Boy
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 13 Years
          7 years, 2 months ago

          I give up

          Thanks

      3. Pukki Party
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 2 months ago

        A

      4. Gianluca Busio's Hair …
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 15 Years
        7 years, 2 months ago

        I am going Rondon if that helps. no interest in Higs. Was between Rondon and Barnes.

      5. Not again Shirley
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 2 months ago

        I would go Barnes as has good few fixtures and LEI always concede.

      6. Kiwivillan
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        7 years, 2 months ago

        Rondon not guaranteed 33 and will get nothing away to Bournemouth

      7. Kiwivillan
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        7 years, 2 months ago

        Would rather gamble on Arnie than any of those

    13. Guy Demel
      • 13 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      chaps, what's currently unsettled for GW33?

      1. TorresMagic™
        • Has Moderation Rights
        • 16 Years
        7 years, 2 months ago

        The number of games postponed (blanks)

        Only 6-8 games will be played.

        1. Flaps
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 15 Years
          7 years, 2 months ago

          If it's 8 then surely it could be done easily

    14. MattysFantasyFooty
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      Azpi or Luiz?

      1. semiconductor
        • 11 Years
        7 years, 2 months ago

        I went luiz

      2. Gianluca Busio's Hair …
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 15 Years
        7 years, 2 months ago

        I might go both....this West Ham clean sheet extravaganza might be getting a bit out of control.....

    15. semiconductor
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      Need your opinions to pull the trigger. These are my playing players
      Boruc
      Robertson-Luiz
      Salah-mane
      Rondon-Higuain

      With 2 FTs should I do
      .Musuaku to Fraser
      .Sterling to Hazard
      .Bendarek to drop

      And keep players with values on them (Doherty, Pogba, Jiminez)

      1. semiconductor
        • 11 Years
        7 years, 2 months ago

        Anyone?

      2. Not again Shirley
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 2 months ago

        Tricky one as don’t really want to lose sterling as you’ll want him back. Everton away for Chelsea not that easy a game. They held Liverpool to draw recently. Saying that haz could be way to go but who knows with that little troll!

    16. FPL AXE
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      Robertson and Ashley Barnes
      Or
      Alexander Arnold and Arnautovic?

      1. Ynwalfc
        • 10 Years
        7 years, 2 months ago

        I’ve gone with Barnes and Robbo

      2. Sandy Ravage
        • 10 Years
        7 years, 2 months ago

        Robbo & Barnes

      1. Hazz
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 2 months ago

        Keita trained.

        1. ChickenTikkaMoSalah
          • 11 Years
          7 years, 2 months ago

          Oh.
          Thanks even though you ruined my joy!

        2. Richd
          • 13 Years
          7 years, 2 months ago

          So if anything it casts more doubt

          1. ChickenTikkaMoSalah
            • 11 Years
            7 years, 2 months ago

            Yeah that makes it 95% likely. To be honest not many people in my league will know about this, so could be good for me!

          2. ChickenTikkaMoSalah
            • 11 Years
            7 years, 2 months ago

            Hi,
            Just found out this guy made a mistake / guessed.
            Keita didn't train.

            1. Tempestic
              • 8 Years
              7 years, 2 months ago

              Yeh, Keita is in none of the pictures.

        3. ChickenTikkaMoSalah
          • 11 Years
          7 years, 2 months ago

          Are you sure he trained? I can't find him anywhere.....
          Please make sure you know what you're talking about.

      2. Rotation's Alter Ego
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • Has Moderation Rights
        • 14 Years
        7 years, 2 months ago

        Really scraping the bottom of the barrel now lads 😉

        1. ChickenTikkaMoSalah
          • 11 Years
          7 years, 2 months ago

          True! I'm clutching straws like a madman

      3. Tempestic
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 2 months ago

        Actually, a teaser picture was posted on LFC’s YouTube of Mane and Keita in the chairs yesterday so i’m not sure this is the reason.

    17. Ynwalfc
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      Any tempted with a west ham defence triple up

      1. how now brown cow
        • 11 Years
        7 years, 2 months ago

        Good grief

      2. Hazz
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 2 months ago

        Not in the slightest.

      3. semiconductor
        • 11 Years
        7 years, 2 months ago

        Still thinking to have only one or none

      4. Sarri-ball
        • 16 Years
        7 years, 2 months ago

        I had thought about it on my free hit

        But going arnie as my 3rd West ham

      5. Ynwalfc
        • 10 Years
        7 years, 2 months ago

        Including keeper- Fabianski,Rice,Agbonna

        1. how now brown cow
          • 11 Years
          7 years, 2 months ago

          2 cs in 13 including poor opponents.

      6. Ynwalfc
        • 10 Years
        7 years, 2 months ago

        The last two have been clean sheets tho so maybe three in a row could be on the cards

        1. Ynwalfc
          • 10 Years
          7 years, 2 months ago

          Sorry last one haha

        2. how now brown cow
          • 11 Years
          7 years, 2 months ago

          Eh? They lost 2-0 to the mighty Cardiff.

          1. Ynwalfc
            • 10 Years
            7 years, 2 months ago

            Home not away

      7. Ynwalfc
        • 10 Years
        7 years, 2 months ago

        I think Huddersfield not scoring in there last five away matches is partly why it interests me.

    18. SPorting
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      Son, Rash, Jimenez -> Maddison, Vardy, Wilson (-4)?

      1. MattysFantasyFooty
        • 12 Years
        7 years, 2 months ago

        Done this excepts Fraser for Maddison I would personally

      2. how now brown cow
        • 11 Years
        7 years, 2 months ago

        Sounds decent.. Got Fraser already, or prefer Maddison?

    19. Scotty B
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      Why have so many bought Arnie this week?
      He hasn't started a PL match since 29th January

      1. how now brown cow
        • 11 Years
        7 years, 2 months ago

        And scored in one match since gw11.

        But then its Huddersfield.

      2. Lionel Ronaldo
          7 years, 2 months ago

          Because democracy.

        • TheSteel
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 13 Years
          7 years, 2 months ago

          Yeah dont get it. Pellegrini’s comments werent encouraging either

            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 16 Years
            7 years, 2 months ago

            What comments?

        • MTPockets
            7 years, 2 months ago

            semantics

            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 14 Years
            7 years, 2 months ago

            Huddersfield madness - even Anderson is the 7th most transferred in player in the game this GW
            Arnie won't start IMO

        • dunas_dog
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 10 Years

          A Rice Pedro or
          B Luiz Maddison

          • 7 Years
          7 years, 2 months ago

          With Mane doubt would you do this :

          Jimenez, Rashford and Sterling to Firmino, Wilson and MAddison for -4

          My first plan was :

          Rashford, Sterling and Guendozi to Wilson, Mane and Maddison and i would keep Jimenez (bought for 5.5)

            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 8 Years
            7 years, 2 months ago

            Whats the Mane doubt?

            1. Niho992
              • 7 Years
              7 years, 2 months ago

              He didnt train

              1. Gentle_Turks
                • Fantasy Football Scout Member
                • 8 Years
                7 years, 2 months ago

                Oh hell, that cocks my plans up.

              It’s all bull. He’s in a picture at training today on Sky tv but some people are spreading rumours he’s not been seen

              1. Niho992
                • 7 Years
                7 years, 2 months ago

                pics or didnt happen

                  1. ChickenTikkaMoSalah
                    • 11 Years
                    7 years, 2 months ago

                    Tell us, did it happen?

              2. Sun Jihai
                • Fantasy Football Scout Member
                • 14 Years
                7 years, 2 months ago

                This - the whole thing reminds me of that Guardian journalist saying Aguero was going to be dropped earlier this season. Result was a lot of people took the armband off him and he got a hattrick.

          Aguero + Rashford + Anderson to Vardy + Wilson + Mane for -8
          yes or no?

          Free Hitting next week, WC in 34. Reason selling Anderson is so I can hold Pogba because I have huge value tied up in him. Plus Anderson is pants.

          How are you playing your chips?

          Don’t have WC, but have a full team this week for a -4. Considering TC this week on Mané.Then FH next week, and BB for the double gw 35.

          Or maybe FH this week..

            FH this week sounds silly given what you have.

            If you have a full team then don't waste your FH this week.

            Please help above thanks.

          Fraser or Haz?
          Dont want to get fooled by price bias

            Same decision. Fraser seems the right pick and Hazard just EO

              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • 12 Years
              7 years, 2 months ago

              But probably end up with Hazard

        • AriseSirGiggsy

          Looking to bring in 3rd Chelsea player - with an eye on juicy DGW 32 (car/BHA) if Brighton can do the business in the FA Cup.

          Fully onboard that Emerson has the left back slot now, but is there a danger that Sarri could rotate Alonso in for the 2nd match? Whereas with Rudiger for example he’s less likely to be rotated out for Christensen?

          Asking for a friend...

          1. JJeyy
            • 10 Years
            7 years, 2 months ago

            azpi

              • 8 Years
              7 years, 2 months ago

              Zappacosta also nursing a minor injury. Azpi looks certain of a start. (Although I think Luiz is still the best to have, on a typical day.)

          2. Kiwivillan
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 12 Years
            7 years, 2 months ago

            Luiz or Rudiger and Luiz for chances created for me

          3. Hazz
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 8 Years
            7 years, 2 months ago

            Yeah, there is a very high chance that LB spot is still rotated. Emerson has seemed to have won it over for now, but a DGW has a quick turn-around. Given they've been rotating a lot lately, it's likely to continue.

            Christensen could certainly still come in for one of the two DGW fixtures, but it's hard to say if it would be for Luiz or Rudgier. In Europa League, Christensen started both & Luiz/Rudiger each started once. Sarri may opt to keep the main two in, but it's anyone's guess.

            Guys highly recommend Netflix Triple Frontier

            Quality film

            Completely confused whether I should get Mane or Trent/VVD to sit alongside Salah and Robbo.

            1. nkhoughton
              • 11 Years
              7 years, 2 months ago

              Mane is in great form

              Tough one to call.
              Liverpool’s goals away from home this year have been very low.... but then again, it’s Fulham

              I'll pull trigger tomorrow as Son not falling.

              If Mane price rise tonight then I will ignore and if no rise I may get him

              Possibly leave it to FPL god...
