FPL Gameweek 31: Wednesday’s goals, assists, bonus points + stats

Got to question how you ended up with this dilemma.

Luton boys

b1, go with the home team

ACF

That’s tough … ACF

Yep, acf

Cheers all, love a consensus like that

ADF

ACF - Ait Nouri is flying!

ACE

I wouldn't be benching Van Dijk against United. Could easily score

I sold Foden for Salah. It kinda made sense at the time, with Foden coming off a couple of blanks, no double, and Salah having SHU and a double. But what can you do - Foden is having a great season.

Boiled down to Son v Foden this GW. Folks took hits to keep Son and others took a gamble with Foden.

In isolation, Son is a better FPL asset than Foden due to being nailed, playing CF and on pens.

This isn't just for 1GW, decision is for GW31-33.

Excellent stuff

I tried to sell Foden, but in early morning stupor removed Son by mistake…

My decision to keep Foden came down to money, it was a decision between Son & Watkins to Salah/Darwin or Foden & Watkins to Salah & Munoz. Thankfully chose the former.

Not really, if they sold for Salah and he scores 3 goals and gets 2 assists, they are good.

Amateurs

Nice!

I sold on GW30 wildcard. It was two of Ode/Foden/Watkins. I really fancied Watkins to score v Wolves & Brentford, and thought there was an inkling of an Ode rest v Luton. Arteta did rotate heavily but not him, couldn't have foreseen the Watkins injury, and the hatty came out of nowhere. Variance!!

Swings on a wildcard too.

It will have benefited teams with less engaged managers partly, so leveled up mini leagues etc a bit.

I was all for keeping Foden on WC30 but I got persuaded by the advice on here to get Son.

Tbf it's only a 11 point swing, but those are the fine margins between about 50k ranks.

Son also has a decent looking opportunity next week and can haul soon.

You can't really judge anything in isolation on one week alone.

Which is why asking who scores most this week always seems finger in the air to me and just speculation.

Good move

Well done very good wild card looks pretty good. Unfortunately for me I’ll have to go against a couple of the hen as I can see this team being quite Template and I’m chasing rank so will have to go after a few differentials but thanks very good wild card and plan

This will likely change depending on when the Spurs/Chelsea double land. Not a huge fan on the booked transfer straight after WC. Could be behind a transfer if you get injuries before BB37

Nice. Hope "the pope" will tell us the truth soon on his return 🙂

Bradley, Darwin & Salah hauls would be lovely.

No. Previous Foden hatty was against Brentford and KDB, Alvarez and Haaland all started.

Foden central is key.

Looking at my team though, I think I'd have (c) Saka or Haaland (vc), so would have had no cap either way. So I need 31 points out of Palmer and Salah(c) to ease the pain and match the the other two.

I was about to ask why you would even sell Odegaard before his home match against Luton, who is also taking penalties if Saka isn't playing, and Foden against Villa, who only kept 3 clean sheets in the last 15 matches, but then realised you were on a wildcard.

Who are you taking out for the next gameweek? Asking for a friend....

Morning, what’s your chip strategy? Team in isolation looks good and can potentially save ft

If you're WC this week then i would FH34 & BB37

Think it's close for BB. 37 probably edges it. Slightly

B probably. Close though

Neither. Roll.

Anyone??

I am keeping him till the end. Except Watkins, not a single CF did anything special this season (in terms of FPL) so having a differental CF is pretty much ok

I'm leading both my leagues by 40 pts and I have TC and BB to use. Pretty good lead. Nearest rival in one league has BB but a messy bench at the moment. Your lead is good. No reason you can't extend it. Make good picks and limit the - 4s

Haaland v Luton (H) is certainly the best captaincy option in 33. Does that make him a must have? Maybe but for your case you need to factor in transfer cost and alternative captaincy

Fulham a lot better at home than away, gordon practically only score at home, i think fulham will jojo the other way and play good again after these two last results.

Prob save but not a bad transfer. Saving just keeps options open.

Looks solid, but I'm wary of spending my last remaining transfers on poxy 2pt defenders.

Roll and reassess.

Saka - untrustworthy
