Pras and Andy’s FPL Gameweek 31 preview and team reveals

Andy North and Pras combine again in another exclusive video for Premium Members of Fantasy Football Scout.

The pair will be chatting over on our YouTube channel about their own Gameweek 31 teams and the chip strategies being deployed within the Fantasy Premier League (FPL) community.

Will the pair be keeping or selling the injured pair of Marcus Rashford (£7.2m) and Luke Shaw (£5.1m)? Are they joining the 500,000 others that have already bought Jack Grealish (£7.1m) this week?

With Blank Gameweek 32 on the way, plans for these three players largely depend on whether a manager intends to activate their Free Hit chip.

Andy and Pras are live from 20:45 BST, with the stream watchable via the embedded video below.

And if you’ve missed the start or indeed the whole of the live broadcast, you can of course still watch the stream back from the start in its entirety.

Only Premium Members of Fantasy Football Scout will be able to watch the video below, so make sure you sign up today to get access to not just this stream but also exclusive YouTube content from Andy, Mark and others throughout the 2022/23 campaign.

      Depends on if you have FH left and if using in 32 or 34.

      If FH32 you bench rashford and start Mitoma.

      If FH32 you have to use a transfer this week so not to waste it - so 1 week Lunt in Havertz -> Jesus is quite tempting… it’s not template though!

      How far behind are you in the work league? If less than 30 points, I'd save the FH to as close to the last GW of the season (there are always some really crazy scores the last week, and you can make up a lot because of rotation).

          Ah, just saw now said "losing a lead" (and not "losing"). I would definitely keep it in the bag unless you really need it. Even if your lead gets cut by 20 next GW, having that FH by the end will surely enable you to win if you are close in the last week.

      I'd say the Newcastle guys are 3. I am not sure about Brighton away to Chelsea... Lampard has no tactical sense but he throws a lot into attack. Newcastle is still one of the best defensive units over the season.

      You must have King Kane and don't want to sell?

      Wetlegs is scoring, tough to sell.

      Betting on Toney is working. He could have braced last week.

    Is Bruno now a defensive midfielder priced at nearly 10M?

    I bought him on his false dawn.

    Now I see that Sabitzer is playing way in front of Bruno

    Casemiro, Topo Gigio Face, is back from a Red to probably collect another Red.

    Do we think that Bruno could be back up front, or is Bruno now the new Erickson? So MU Midfield is now Bruno, Casemiro, Sabitzer with Erikson and Fred as subs?

    I hate being burned like this. I feel like I lost 200K of rank due to this head-fake.

        Look at the heat map Dogg. I was watching the boring the Newcastle game and I thought he was not even playing. Same during the Everton game. No threat, basically Jorginho at Chelsea. A PK taker with no other threat

        Since you can't get points for possession, being clever in pressing, or assisting-the-assister, this makes Bruno worthless in FPL.

            Even with Casimiro back, against Sevilla, it was Sabitzer in the 10-spot and Bruno was in Water Hauler duty with Casimiro.

        The right and logical move is Chilly, but Chelsea is a disappointing and miserable team. If I play Chilly, he's going to get me 0-points. 2-points for playing, then a yellow and 2-goals given up.

        Or, he does not start. Gets a 10 minute cameo and a yellow. Still 0-points.

        Mac, on the other hand, is due a sparky game. BHA has a soul and Chelsea is basically a collection of golems. Any team with Aubameyang becomes trash. It's a contagious disease.

        Brighton might crush Plastic FC 4-1 with Mac getting a goal and an assist.
