Joe’s highly popular ‘Goals Imminent’ table from the Members Area is the basis for this weekly article.

Heading towards Gameweek 31 of Fantasy Premier League (FPL), we try to identify some more underachieving players who look ‘due’ for a goal and/or assist.

Naturally, we’ll attempt to assess whether they’re unlucky, suffering a rare blip, or just aren’t particularly good.


LAST WEEK’S SUCCESSES

Newcastle v Liverpool team news: Szoboszlai at left-back

Two of Gameweek 30’s names got themselves on the scoresheet. Highly-owned Igor Thiago (£7.3m) tapped in against Wolverhampton Wanderers and missed two big chances, while Anthony Gordon (£7.3m) made himself a leading transfer target for this Blank Gameweek.

Known for his Champions League antics, the Newcastle United midfielder is regularly playing as a centre-forward, and added an open-play goal at Chelsea to his penalty-taking duties.

As for assists, none of the small table were able to get one. But Dominik Szoboszlai (£7.0m) decided to go one better by scoring!

    This substitute ref in the Liverpool game really doesn't seem upto it..quite fundamental refereeing errors so far.

      The original ref is horrible. Makes lot of big blunders

        Marciniak? Disagree, think he is one of the best around..much better than all the PL refs.

    looks like a return to 4222 for liverpool, hope it works out today. would have confidence in captaining an attacker of theirs at brighton if it does

    1. Sir Michael Taker
      • 12 Years
      3 months, 28 days ago

      1. MVDP
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 1 Year

        Isak will be injured next season.

    I should have probably considered Sbozeozxvlzei sooner. Hadn't given him much thought. One for the double if they beat City I guess...

    1. Baps Hunter
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      3 months, 28 days ago

      I don't still trust him to be consistent enough.

      1. KAPTAIN KANE SERVES THE PAI…
        • 9 Years
        3 months, 28 days ago

        Me neither, could play at right back and get nothing for weeks

        1. Moon Dog
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 1 Year
          3 months, 28 days ago

          It's the set pieces that will keep him ticking over. Probably should have had more assists than he's gotten.

          The odd thunderblaster from outside the box is a bonus.

  14. F4L
    • 11 Years

    lets go spurs, 1 down, 2 to go

  15. ball c

    Which move would you make for coming gw:

    A) Timber to Thiaw
    B) Mbuemo to Gordon
    C) Mbuemo & Guiu to Gordon & Bowen

    1. BeaversWithAttitude
      • 7 Years

  17. Jafooli
    • 14 Years
    3 months, 28 days ago

    A Spurs vs Arsenal CL final with one winning the league and one being relegated would be interesting…

    1. Sir Michael Taker
      • 12 Years
      3 months, 28 days ago

      Cant happen, they are the same side

  18. Slitherene
    • 8 Years
    3 months, 28 days ago

    Most likely return on which transfer, for GW 31 only?

    A) Keane -> Van de Ven
    B) Xhaka -> Gordon
    C) Onana -> Szoboszlai

    Whichever player I sell, the other 2 I'll have to start..

  20. jonnybhoy

    Really fancied Gordon but not sure if hes worth using my last FT on. 0.3TB 3FT.

    Sanchez
    Timber* Alderete Munoz*
    Bruno F Dango Wilson Mbuemo Enzo
    Haaland Ekitike Thiago

    Dubravka Gabriel* Haaland* Gudmundsson*

    A) Munoz and Timber to Thiaw and Andersen (no bench but allows to roll a FT)
    B) Munoz, Timber, Enzo to VVD, Andersen + Gordon (No bench)
    C) Munoz, Timber and Gudmundsson to Virgil, Andersen and Thiaw (bench Alderete)

      C.
      I had Gordon earlier in season and he’s a troll. The early subs were so frustrating.
      Thiaw has a goal in him

          • 7 Years
          3 months, 28 days ago

          They only check for contact, which there was

    3. Moon Dog
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 1 Year
      3 months, 28 days ago

      Made a meal of the fall, but he has a cut on his leg from the contact.

      1. jacob1989
        • 4 Years
        3 months, 28 days ago

        Maybe he had a ketchup packet inside his shins!

      Salah is so washed

      1. Sir Michael Taker
        • 12 Years
        3 months, 28 days ago

        Theres a few high profile CC who went heavy on Salah last week. Lol

      1. KAPTAIN KANE SERVES THE PAI…
        • 9 Years
        3 months, 28 days ago

        I don’t know if I’m going mad or if everyone else is

      2. KAPTAIN KANE SERVES THE PAI…
        • 9 Years
        3 months, 28 days ago

        Szobo won the pen

        1. Moon Dog
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 1 Year
          3 months, 28 days ago

            • 9 Years
            3 months, 28 days ago

            I don’t know if I’m dreaming right now or what I’m so confused

  28. lilmessipran
    • 13 Years
    3 months, 28 days ago

    1. jacob1989
      • 4 Years
      3 months, 28 days ago

      No one to blame but slot. Very poor manager. Szobo has all the conference, Salah doesn't.. use logic.

  29. KAPTAIN KANE SERVES THE PAI…
    • 9 Years
    3 months, 28 days ago

    What’s going on Salah scored on my screen?

  30. jacob1989
    • 4 Years
    3 months, 28 days ago

    Salah to go back to Egyptian league? Dont think saudi league will buy him now.
