The last of five Gameweek 31 fixtures takes place on Merseyside this afternoon.

Chelsea are the visitors to Goodison Park, where Everton have only won one of their last eight league fixtures.

Gonzalo Higuain is fit to lead the line for Chelsea, having missed the win over Dynamo Kyiv on Thursday due to illness.

Higuain lines up in a front three alongside Pedro and Eden Hazard, who is the third-most-popular Gameweek 31 captaincy choice among “active” Fantasy assets.

Marcos Alonso returns at left-back at the expense of Emerson Palmieri, while Ross Barkley starts in place of Mateo Kovacic in midfield.

Seamus Coleman returns to the Everton side as Jonjoe Kenny drops out of the match-day squad.

Yerry Mina makes his first Premier League start of 2019 in place of the ineligible Kurt Zouma, while Jordan Pickford keeps his place between the sticks.

The Toffees are otherwise unchanged, with Dominic Calvert-Lewin leading the line ahead of an attacking midfield three of Richarlison, Bernard and Gylfi Sigurdsson.

Everton XI (4-2-3-1): Pickford, Coleman, Keane, Mina, Digne, Gueye, Gomes, Richarlison, Sigurdsson, Bernard, Calvert-Lewin.

Chelsea XI (4-3-3): Arrizabalaga, Azpilicueta, Rüdiger, David Luiz, Alonso, Kanté, Jorginho, Barkley, Pedro, Higuaín, Hazard.

      • 7 Years
      7 years, 6 days ago

      Unreasonable. He's been very consistent of late.

    How many FPL seasons has Salah ruined??? He’s absolutely destroyed me.

    So many failed captains and blanks now! And the times I’ve sold and not owned he’s hauled massively!!! Week I sold he got 21, then 12, 12, 12, 11, 15 over the next 7 before I re-owned again 😆

    Would need a HUGE FH32 to save my season now.

    1. Pat Bonner
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 6 days ago

      Being a bit dramatic are you not. I sold him as well at same time as you and doing ok

      1. Tempestic
        • 7 Years
        7 years, 6 days ago

        I did the same, it was very annoying. That same time I went triple city and they ended up losing 3/4 games and getting no points. Went mane over salah this week tho so not too mad 🙂

    2. Bubz
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 6 days ago

      Yeah he ruined mine

    3. Klein
      • 10 Years

      Doubt it will buddy. Every dog and his bitches are gonna have all the big players for fh32

      1. RAFA THE GAFFA
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 6 days ago

        My main rival has blown his!

      2. RAFA THE GAFFA

        And his WC

    4. PÍE
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 6 days ago

      He ruined my season last year, as I never had him and ended up with my worse ever finish.
      Stuck with not having him this season, and it's been more up and down.

    3. Klein

      Higuaín Hazard Luiz to save my week and keep me in LMS ( on 25 points -8 so 17 for now )

      1. Gudjohnsen
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 6 days ago

        Same here

        Could easily be safe.

    7. Jafooli
      • 14 Years

      Well fully expecting an equally trolling performance from Hazard now.....game is full of them theses days.

      1. Chucky
        • 12 Years
        7 years, 6 days ago

        This... spewing... 🙁

        1. Jafooli
          • 14 Years
          7 years, 6 days ago

          So many useless twerps....

    8. tucaoneo
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 6 days ago

      I have two Chelsea defenders. Expect Richarlison goal.

    9. Stoic
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 6 days ago

      -11 bps for Salah...

      1. Pierce34
        • 10 Years
        7 years, 6 days ago

        That must be a record-breaking performance for a player not sent off or missing a penalty. I'm glad to have captained for such a momentous occasion.

      2. Uppercut Panda - A legend i…
        • 11 Years
        7 years, 6 days ago

        wow. that is really bad

    10. diesel001
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 6 days ago

      So many TCs wasted on Sane and Salah so far.

      When will you waste yours?

      1. tucaoneo
        • 7 Years
        7 years, 6 days ago

        Sir Harold

      2. Rainer
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 6 days ago

        Probably on Glenn Murray or something stupid.

        Glad to have not wasted it or the Free Hit this weekend.

      3. Jafooli
        • 14 Years
        7 years, 6 days ago

        Diop GW39

      4. sminkypinky
        • 14 Years
        7 years, 6 days ago

        36/38

      5. Chirsbom
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 6 days ago

        Probably Kane if DGW35. Last time I gave him that oppertunity he scored 4 😉

      6. Tempestic
        • 7 Years
        7 years, 6 days ago

        Everyone said I wasted it when I got 8 (tripled to 24) points off salah when he played Fulham (H), turns out it wasn’t too bad after all, so far anyway.

      7. TheDragon
        • 7 Years
        7 years, 6 days ago

        At least those of us with TC left can relax in wasting it given it can’t go worse than Sane and Salah

      8. PÍE
        • 11 Years
        7 years, 6 days ago

        Don't know yet, wish there was another DGW so I could use it easily in one of those, but as it is, looks like a SGW will be the choice.

    11. WVA
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 6 days ago

      If Hazard outscores Salah then that's 29 times from 31 gameweeks my VC has outscored my C, only correct choices were Aguero hattie week 2 and Salah on one occasion, actually unbelievable I'm still at 50k!

      1. PÍE
        • 11 Years
        7 years, 6 days ago

        That's crazy.

      2. Alexis Nonsense
        • 10 Years
        7 years, 6 days ago

        I TC Salah this week... good bye 50k

    12. Jafooli

      Need goal abs assist from Digne hare....

    13. Bob B
      • 12 Years

      Thoughts on FH32 team?

      Kepa
      Boly Laporte Luiz
      Hazard Pogba Sterling
      Aguero Kane Rashford

      1. Yank Revolution
        • 14 Years
        7 years, 6 days ago

        No Man U D?

      2. Chirsbom
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 6 days ago

        Kane? Against Liverpool. I am a Spurs fan and like your optimisme, but for a DGW I would only pick players that played twice.

    14. sminkypinky
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 6 days ago

      Many Haz captainers here?

      1. LǝgleSs e|even
        • 10 Years
        7 years, 6 days ago

        o/ Aye!

    15. The Tinkerman
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 6 days ago

      Just realised Milner coming on cost me at least 30 points.

      Assuming Salah TC scored that pen, and Milner not being on the pitch meant he didn’t set up Fulham’s goal.

      1. Pat Bonner
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        7 years, 6 days ago

        Lots of if’s there!

      2. sminkypinky
        • 14 Years
        7 years, 6 days ago

        He was probably going to miss it so Milner saved you points.

      3. FPL.team
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 6 days ago

        Penalty wouldn't have happened if Fulham hadn't equalised. That's not how it works...

      4. Gregor
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • Has Moderation Rights
        • 16 Years
        7 years, 6 days ago

        Probably would’ve missed it.

    16. LǝgleSs e|even
      • 10 Years

      Triple-H prediction. Hazard Haul or Hattie, or Higu Hazard and Hudson-Odoi to bag goal/asists today

      Shame it doesnt look like Aguero will drop in price further 🙁 May as well get him in for Vardy now?

    18. COYR
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years

      Really wish I hadn't checked the comments on here about Mane and switched the armband to Salah! Costly decision

      1. Twisted Saltergater
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 16 Years
        7 years, 6 days ago

        Thanks for telling us 🙂

      2. George Sillett

        Yawn.

      3. FPL Scoop

        Many the same

        Really wish you hadn't commented on here about comments on here based on speculation in the Metro...

      Now we know why Klopp risked Mane, beacasue he knew that Salah is useless twerp.

      1. LǝgleSs e|even
        • 10 Years
        7 years, 6 days ago

        The fact that Milner took the peno explains how much confidence he has on Salah in his current form

        1. FPL.team
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 9 Years
          7 years, 6 days ago

          Makes no sense. Milner is always the pen taker.

        2. MrZ
          • 11 Years
          7 years, 6 days ago

          Tbf milner is their designated penalty taker

        3. luckyflames1897
          • 15 Years
          7 years, 6 days ago

          Twat...Milner is the designated penalty taker

      2. luckyflames1897
        • 15 Years
        7 years, 6 days ago

        You Twat …Milner is the penalty taker

      Do we think Doherty will start both upcoming DGW games? Probably not? Swap out on FHC to a cheaper option, perhaps...?

      1. Rainer
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 6 days ago

        Shocked if he starts the United game.

      2. Gregor
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • Has Moderation Rights
        • 16 Years
        7 years, 6 days ago

        Probably not.

        1. Big_Andy_GAWA
          • 14 Years
          7 years, 6 days ago

          Kept under cotton wool for the FA Cup tie? That's what I'm thinking...

          1. Gregor
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • Has Moderation Rights
            • 16 Years
            7 years, 6 days ago

            Yeah, good chance of being rotated I would think.

      3. Pat Bonner
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        7 years, 6 days ago

        Doubt it

      4. dunas_dog
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        7 years, 6 days ago

        Unlikely- no point in risking so I would change on FH

    22. sminkypinky

      Gut said go for Azpi, purse said go for Luiz. Went with the purse. Let’s see.

      1. Mika-eel
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 6 days ago

        and possibly costing me a lot. 3 below me captained Mane and I don't even have him. Salah cap ofcourse. Well done to you pal. Liverpool fan so the win the more important thing.

    26. Mysterion

      Feels weird having hazard back.

      Easy hattrick
