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.

    Who seems more important right now?

    Kun or Haza

    1. World XI
      • 13 Years
      8 years, 8 months ago

      Hazard due to price

    2. liiusions
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 8 months ago

      I'm probably gonna get Kun in so I'd get Hazard if i were you

    3. Sims
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 8 months ago

      Hazard

      Kuns price is an important factor

      1. nkhoughton
        • 10 Years
        8 years, 8 months ago

        Yeah of course it is, but selling an inform kun before Hull at home is dangerous

  2. World XI
    • 13 Years
    8 years, 8 months ago

    Snodgrass will no doubt come on during the second half to block my De roon points 🙂

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

      Wow

  3. liiusions
    • 10 Years
    8 years, 8 months ago

    All CSs gone. No attacking points from anyone, anyone having a worse week?

    1. bitm2007
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 8 months ago

      I was until the Coutinho goal (14 minus a hit)

    2. Unbowed Unbent N'Golo
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 8 months ago

      Ha that's pretty rock bottom really. Heaton CS only for me

      1. liiusions
        • 10 Years
        8 years, 8 months ago

        I guess the only way it could be going worse was if I had Pedro

    3. Foozeball
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 8 months ago

      I feel you 🙁

  4. Rainer
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 8 months ago

    Big 45 ahead for San(c)hez!

  5. Lawrø
    • 13 Years
    8 years, 8 months ago

    Here's the de Roon goal, Gibson assist... awful decision

    1. Teahupo'o
      • 14 Years
      8 years, 8 months ago

      Ridiculous. That linesman should be looking for a new job.

  6. EL_FENOMENO
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 8 months ago

    Siggy + Baines to Cout + Mawson/Pieters anybody under 4.7 for - 4 ?

  7. itwaswritten
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 8 months ago

    These 2 GWs have been the worst. Ugh.

    1. bitm2007
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 8 months ago

      Still time.

  8. twoplustwo
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years
    8 years, 8 months ago

    Alonso isn't worth the money right...

    1. Woy of the Wovers
      • 15 Years
      8 years, 8 months ago

      ...yes

    2. HuttonDressedasLahm
      • 16 Years
      8 years, 8 months ago

      Seems that way now
      Don't know who else to get though

    3. Godot - Fashanu Zealand
      • 13 Years
      8 years, 8 months ago

      Not anymore imo, I'm just worried he will turn up with a fifteen point haul as soon as I get rid of him.

    4. Business Cat
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 8 months ago

      Wouldn't buy, probably wouldn't sell

    5. World XI
      • 13 Years
      8 years, 8 months ago

      Still the best Chelsea defender to own by far

    6. Gerd Mueller’s thighs
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 8 months ago

      I ditched last week.....too few clean sheets across the board; I'm using funds on offense.

  9. GoonerByron
    • 14 Years
    8 years, 8 months ago

    Coutinho (c), Negredo, Aguero, Firmino, Mustafi... May be sneaking into Top 10k if it stays like this 🙂

  10. Chucky
    • 12 Years
    8 years, 8 months ago

    Eriksen and Alli combo time

    1. Smoky Johnson
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 8 months ago

      #prayforspurs

  11. Foozeball
    • 8 Years
    8 years, 8 months ago

    0 goals, assists, or CS this GW. Horrendous. Practically praying for San(c)hez to score

  12. AVIELD949
    • 10 Years
    8 years, 8 months ago

    Would you WC this lot?

    Pick. Jaku.
    Walker. Valencia. Brunt. Holgate. Ake(!)
    Sanchez. Alli. Cout. Siggy. Carroll.
    Carroll. Costa. Lukaku.

    1 FT, 1.8m ITB.

    If I don't use my WC I want Aguero in so I'll need to take a 4pt hit.

  13. Syd.
    • 16 Years
    8 years, 8 months ago

    Entertaining but frustrating

    Oh and Mike Dean should just retire

  14. Hybrid.power
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 15 Years
    8 years, 8 months ago

    Would love a Mawson goal and clean sheet!

  15. CloudSky
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 8 months ago

    Well Atkinson doesnt havr Sanchez.

  16. andymck
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 8 months ago

    Why do midweek GWs always go horribly for me?

  17. I Have No Idea What I'…
    • 8 Years
    8 years, 8 months ago

    I benched Cabellero to start Jakupovic. This was a mistake.

    1. HuttonDressedasLahm
      • 16 Years
      8 years, 8 months ago

      You have Caballero??!!

      1. I Have No Idea What I'…
        • 8 Years
        8 years, 8 months ago

        Indeed. Have done ever since the last DGW and he's done me well so far. I should have stuck with him.

    2. Hybrid.power
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      8 years, 8 months ago

      Most of us would have

  18. itwaswritten

    : ((((((((

  19. Jebiga
    • 13 Years
    8 years, 8 months ago

    how playing sanchez good or bad ?

  20. Teahupo'o
    • 14 Years
    8 years, 8 months ago

    Should have been a Pen.

  21. IRBOX ⚽
    • 8 Years
    8 years, 8 months ago

    Come on Alexis, has looked good and really should have an assist or two already. Why the hell does Wenger not cement him up top!?

  22. Matamatics
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 8 months ago

    Hazard to alexis (-4) has been a disaster

  23. how now brown cow
    • 11 Years
    8 years, 8 months ago

    Spurs up to 76% possession. Still only 1 shot on target. 🙁

    1. IRBOX ⚽
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 8 months ago

      Fifa

    2. Business Cat
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 8 months ago

      Spurs...zero goals

      Middlesbrough...two goals

      Huh...

  24. Team Cruel
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    8 years, 8 months ago

    Fernandez should be off and Alli should be taking the pen. Useless.

  25. Zlatan Time
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 8 months ago

    Do something Origi...

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

      Be subbed soon.

  26. Hect.OR 98th
    • 16 Years
    8 years, 8 months ago

    Midweek gameweeks have been terrible for me all season. I used to love them, but this season they've delivered nothing but mediocrity from my choices. I've got them all wrong this year.

    1. Ógie
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 8 months ago

      Agreed

  27. Chucky
    • 12 Years
    8 years, 8 months ago

    Who's on pens for Spurs?

    1. Hybrid.power
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      8 years, 8 months ago

      Alli i would say

    2. how now brown cow
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 8 months ago

      Dele or son.

    3. Matamatics
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 8 months ago

      Alli

    4. The Bandit
      • 15 Years
      8 years, 8 months ago

      Alli today

    5. Teahupo'o
      • 14 Years
      8 years, 8 months ago

      Alli/Son

    6. Foozeball
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 8 months ago

      Alli. He took a pen last time (Son was on the field). Dunno what happens if Janssen is playing

    7. Chucky
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 8 months ago

      cheeers

  28. Hybrid.power
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 15 Years
    8 years, 8 months ago

    Go on Swansea

  29. willgriggsonfire
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 8 months ago

    Wenger is soo stubborn. Why not just play Sanchez upfront. Not just for the sake of FPL.

    1. Dr Dream
      • 13 Years
      8 years, 8 months ago

      He's turned into a right nutjob now. Sanchez was brill up top and then he shifts him to the wing....why would anybody even do that.

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

        Only he knows. Welbeck injury was actually a blessing in disguise.

  30. Rhodes your boat
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 8 months ago

    Fancy doing something Sanchez i know your team is bad but cmon
