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.

    Ederson
    Shaw Azpi AWB
    Pogba Sterling Hazard JWP
    Aguero Higuain Lukaku

    1. Hy liverpool
      • 12 Years

      JWP is a great shout tbh

    2. The Tinkerman
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 21 days ago

      Shaw is one yellow from a ban

    3. J ⚒ Gimme ur Mané
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      Best FH I’ve seen so far.

      1. Big_Andy_GAWA
        • 14 Years
        7 years, 21 days ago

        Will CPL have a double??

    4. Shineonme
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 21 days ago

      Who's JWP?

      1. ceerus
        • 11 Years
        7 years, 21 days ago

        James Ward-Prowse

      2. George Sillett
        • 10 Years
        7 years, 21 days ago

        John Wayne Pain.

    5. SAKA AND EMILE SMITH ROWE
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 21 days ago

      Very strong!

    6. Lionel Ronaldo
        7 years, 21 days ago

        Crellin predicts that Southampton's DGW is more likely in GW35 than GW32. I'd think over JWP again.

    7. Feloh
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 21 days ago

      have the dgw 32 fixtures been confirmed?

      1. Rainer
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 21 days ago

        Nope. Hopefully will be tomorrow.

      2. Mainswitch
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 21 days ago

        Spurs have said on thier website that they will play against Palace on Wednesday, 3 April. Means a DGW 32 for them and Palace. Spurs will then play Brighton on 23rd or 24th April meaning a DGW 35 for Spurs and Brighton..

    8. Hy liverpool
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 21 days ago

      RP my sexy 1st Draft

      Ederson
      Lindelof Luiz Doherty
      Hazard Sterling Pogba Deulofeu
      Kane Kun Jiminez

      1. cheekumz
        • 11 Years
        7 years, 21 days ago

        I like it, just cant seem to get behind Kane myself. He's burnt me too many times.

        1. Hy liverpool
          • 12 Years
          7 years, 21 days ago

          New stadium may make any difference hopefully

        2. Royal5
          • 14 Years
          7 years, 21 days ago

          3 goals in the last 4

          1. Royal5
            • 14 Years
            7 years, 21 days ago

            Not even counting CL

      2. fusen
        • 14 Years
        7 years, 21 days ago

        How can you afford that?

        1. Hy liverpool
          • 12 Years
          7 years, 21 days ago

          It's affordable

    9. cheekumz
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 21 days ago

      How does this FH Team look (assuming all the predicted games are right), have exact funds so probably hit the button tonight..

      Kepa
      Luiz, Doherty, WanB
      Sterling, Hazard, Pogba, Jota
      Aguero, Lukaku, Jimenez

      Thanks in advance 🙂

      1. Hy liverpool
        • 12 Years
        7 years, 21 days ago

        MCI defender is needed... I'm going with Ederson most likely

        1. Salah’s Sonnet
          • 14 Years
          7 years, 21 days ago

          It’s really not

      2. WE ARE RANGERS
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 21 days ago

        Wolves might rotate, Jimi usually plays all games but would worry about Doherty and maybe Jota only getting the first game

      3. Moderately content penguin
        • 7 Years
        7 years, 21 days ago

        Jota and Jim are very high rotation risk. The cup will be a massive priority

      4. Tomerick
        • 11 Years
        7 years, 21 days ago

        Lukaku is injured no?

    10. The Tinkerman
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 21 days ago

      Keane and Richarlison dreamteam to save me from Salah (TC) misery in the second half.

    11. Not again Shirley
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 21 days ago

      Dúbravka

      Robbo TAA AWB

      Salah Pogba Sterling Almiron

      Higuain Jimmy Arnie

      So thinking:

      OUT: Salah and Higgy

      IN: Mane and Aguero

      Thoughts?

      Ta much luck

      1. Not again Shirley
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 21 days ago

        For minus 4

      I've been so out of touch with the game since the year started. What a mess

      1. AuFeld
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 21 days ago

        What does your team look like?

        1. Ravager
          • 11 Years
          7 years, 21 days ago

          Fabianski (Button)

          Pereira Robertson AWB Clyne (AWB)
          Salah (vc) Pogba Son Richarlison ( Camarasa )
          Aguero (c) Vardy (Jimenez)

          Current on this when my team reverts. Free hit this week cause I haven't been paying attention so panicked. Lol, should have just left it tbh.

      2. twoplustwo
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        7 years, 21 days ago

        There have been some tricky major turns in fairness

        1. Ravager
          • 11 Years
          7 years, 21 days ago

          True but I've normally planned/paid more attention in past years. Now I'm just reacting

    14. AccountAnt80
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 21 days ago

      So, Brighton have 3 matches to schedule. TGW or a 3rd DGW do you think?

      1. TorresMagic™
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • Has Moderation Rights
        • 16 Years
        7 years, 21 days ago

        3rd DGW

        1. AccountAnt80
          • 10 Years
          7 years, 21 days ago

          When might that be? It's a bit of a squeeze now.

          1. TorresMagic™
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • Has Moderation Rights
            • 16 Years
            7 years, 21 days ago

            CL night.

      2. FPL Forward Thinker
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 7 Years
        7 years, 21 days ago

        No chance of TGW.

    15. FPL Forward Thinker
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 21 days ago

      So, FH it is..... WC you need to wait

      1. gaurava1216
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        7 years, 21 days ago

        Are you sure 32 is a DGW for more than 2 teams? It hasn't been confirmed yet.... although Crellins' articles suggest his- it is NOT confirmed

        1. TorresMagic™
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • Has Moderation Rights
          • 16 Years
          7 years, 21 days ago

          They obviously will be.

        2. Bourbon, Pot Still or Islay…
          • 11 Years
          7 years, 21 days ago

          spurs v palace defo confirmed

        3. FPL Forward Thinker
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 7 Years
          7 years, 21 days ago

          Half the league should have DGW32
          Important not to forget the SGW teams.

      No matter what everyone here says about Salah- you will all have him CPT in 33 again.....
      and he will be most captain in 33......

    19. Salfpilgrimlfc
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 21 days ago

      How we looking for FH 32 so far

      Ederson
      Azpi Shaw AWB
      Pog Haz Jota Sterling
      Hig Aguero Rash

      Jota rotation risk may change Shaw to Lindelof due to yellow cards have 0.7 itb any suggestions bench is all fodder

    20. FPL Scoop
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 21 days ago

      FH active. Feels good. Let the tinkering commence.

      1. twoplustwo
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        7 years, 21 days ago

        Always!

    21. Zenith UK
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 21 days ago

      Hi all,

      If I activate my wildcard now I can use the next two weeks to try and catch price rises/drops right?

      1. TorresMagic™
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • Has Moderation Rights
        • 16 Years
        7 years, 21 days ago

        yes

        1. Zenith UK
          • 9 Years
          7 years, 21 days ago

          Thanks. Advisable to do this?

      2. Amey
        • 7 Years
        7 years, 21 days ago

        Yes

      3. gaurava1216
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        7 years, 21 days ago

        yes

      4. FPL Forward Thinker
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 7 Years
        7 years, 21 days ago

        If it’s anything like other 3 international breaks rises and drops will be slow

        but and big but. This is FH and WC central and we just have to wait and see what tactics people are using. Will people take hit after hit then activate the chip before 30 March deadline?

    22. Steevo
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 21 days ago

      Would you do Higuaín -> Aguero (-4) for DGW32?

      1. TorresMagic™
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • Has Moderation Rights
        • 16 Years
        7 years, 21 days ago

        yes

      2. MTPockets
          7 years, 21 days ago

          Nobody else to sell instead?

        • The 5% Team
          • 7 Years
          7 years, 21 days ago

          no...Chelsea could have a nice DGW themselves

      3. tucaoneo
        • 7 Years

        OMG that was close

            True, for now! He's one lad I'll be happy to see back in GW33. Same can't be said for Felipe, Pereira, Salah though 🙂

        Sure it's been asked loads last 24hrs, but my current FT can that be used now or will it be lost when I use Free Hit Chip shortly.
