After the first four fixtures of Gameweek 31 treated us to just seven goals last night, hopes are a little higher for the remaining six matches.

Many Fantasy managers will be keeping a keen eye on the Emirates as Alexis Sanchez looks to punish West Ham once again.

The Chilean is the third most-captained player this time around, having served up 23 points against the Hammers back in Gameweek 14.

Dele Alli – the most popular midfielder in FPL – and Spurs team-mate Christian Eriksen also have the opportunity to deliver a big profit as they travel to a Swansea City outfit that boasts the worst home defensive record in the top-flight.

Crystal Palace and Middlesbrough are also in action this evening, affording us an early scouting opportunity as both gear up for a double Gameweek 34.

Christian Benteke and Wilfried Zaha roll up to St Mary’s looking to build on their goal and assist apiece away to Chelsea, with Sam Allardyce’s men seeking a fifth straight victory.

‘Boro face a tough task away to Hull, though. The Tigers are a tough nut to crack at home under Marco Silva, with six wins and a draw in seven in front of their own supporters across all competitions. Notably, the Teessiders appear to have opted for a front two for tonight’s clash.

Chelsea and Man City square up at the Bridge in one of two 8pm encounters.

Diego Costa is the second most-captained player for the Gameweek – over 10% are backing the Spain international despite a run of two goals in seven. Meanwhile, for the visitors, Sergio Aguero has persuaded 8% to take an armband punt on the back of three strikes in four.

Liverpool seek to gain revenge on their 4-3 capitulation at the Vitality Stadium earlier in the season as Bournemouth make their way to Anfield. With Sadio Mane sidelined, Philippe Coutinho – the top transfer target for Gameweek 31 – and Roberto Firmino carry the main threat to a defence that’s been breached 31 times already on their travels.

Mark Mark created the beast. He's now looking to tame it.

  12. Je suis le chat
    • 12 Years
    8 years, 8 months ago

    Kompany might be worth considering in a few weeks, if he stays fit.

    1. FPL Pillars
      • 9 Years

      Big if

    2. diesel001

    4. F4L
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 8 months ago

      1. BobBradleysOpportunity
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 8 months ago

  17. Boomerang V
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 8 months ago

    My predictions:

    Arsenal 5 - 1 West Ham (5 goals from Sanchez)
    Hull 0 - 0 Middlesbrough (easy)
    Southampton 0 - 2 Crystal Palace (Zaha goal and assist)
    Swansea 1 - 2 Spurs (Alli x 2 and Siggy assist / Mawson goal)
    Chelsea 1 - 0 Man City (Navas own goal)
    Liverpool 3 - 2 Bournemouth (Cout x 2 and King x 1)

    1. Lav
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 8 months ago

      Hull 1-0

    2. Les Bleus
      • 14 Years
      8 years, 8 months ago

      Literally all those would make me cry.

    3. Jay_
        8 years, 8 months ago

        Actually agree with all the score lines, just not the far fetched scorers 🙂

      • diesel001
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 8 months ago

        Arsenal 3 - 1 West Ham
        Hull 2 - 0 Middlesbrough
        Southampton 0 - 1 Crystal Palace
        Swansea 0 - 2 Spurs
        Chelsea 1 - 0 Man City
        Liverpool 4 - 1 Bournemouth

      • Pierce34
        • 10 Years
        8 years, 8 months ago

        Don't know about all the others, but my Arsenal-West Ham prediction is 1-3.

      1. diesel001
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 8 months ago

            • 11 Years
