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.

  3. Feed tha Sheep

      Yes.

    2. Darklord_bg

        My rival has him coming off the bench I have him firmly sat there behind Alonso.

        • 11 Years
        8 years, 8 months ago

        GW saved by the last 30 mins - Origi, Maguire, and Eriksen and Alli goals and assists.

          #Spursfan#Fthehaters

      7. Old Wulfrunian
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 8 months ago

        Yoshida 3 bonus!!!

      8. Tim Canterbury
        • 14 Years
        8 years, 8 months ago

        I resisted taking a hit to get Sanchez in which ment Eriksen was my best captain option. Massive point swing

        1. Cheltnamshire LaLaLa
          • 11 Years
          8 years, 8 months ago

          wish i had done this - ended up -8 to get sanchez. probably alli captain otherwise Cost me a lot!

        2. Pat Bonner
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 14 Years
          8 years, 8 months ago

          Nicely done. Was tempted to get Alli for mane but decided to go Sanchez and get Alli for next gw!

      9. The Dynamics
        • 8 Years
        8 years, 8 months ago

        should I take out Sanchez to free up money for other players??

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

          Anyone shifting Sanchez? as he's not playing up top now, seems to be some great alternatives, Hazard, Sane..

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

            fail

        2. Zareos
          • 11 Years
          8 years, 8 months ago

          Not urgently, save and reassess (depending on if you have other concerns).

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

          People are saying no.

        4. Make United Great Again
          • 13 Years
          8 years, 8 months ago

          Be patient with Sanchez imo

        5. dunas_dog
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 10 Years
          8 years, 8 months ago

          No not with fixtures and doubles

      10. The Mighty Hippo
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 8 months ago

        How long is Mane likely to be out for? I'm thinking of doing Vardy + Lanzini > Eriksen + Origi for -4, but it depends on whether Origi is likely to get game time in the next few fixtures.

        1. dunas_dog
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 10 Years
          8 years, 8 months ago

          Looks like Mane out possibly for season. Only issue for Origi is Sturridge playing.

        2. Ange Ball
          • 10 Years
          8 years, 8 months ago

          There talk of him being out fir the season wait see

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

        Sanchez to which 7.1m midfielder, as an enabler for caroll to kun(c) vs hull?????

        1. Caleb's Kitties
          • 10 Years
          8 years, 8 months ago

          Don't sell sanchez

        2. dunas_dog
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 10 Years
          8 years, 8 months ago

          Don't sell. Look at fixtures and doubles

      12. We Will Klopp you
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 8 months ago

        Eriksen, Alli, Vardy, Coutinho and Lukaku are definitely starting for me but having a little trouble choosing who to bench...

        Bench one please:
        A) Sane
        B) Sanchez
        C) Origi

        1. Ange Ball
          • 10 Years
          8 years, 8 months ago

          C

        2. jimmy.floyd
          • 9 Years
          8 years, 8 months ago

          C

        3. Make United Great Again
          • 13 Years
          8 years, 8 months ago

          C

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

          A

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

        All set on saving a transfer but now fearing Kun is too much!

      14. Zareos
        • 11 Years
        8 years, 8 months ago

        A. Llorente to Origi;
        B. Save and play King v Chelsea; or
        C. Save and play Holgate v Leicester?

        My team feels strong for this week, except for not having Zlatan. I do have Aguero and Lukaku however.

      15. ekul the lokonga enthusiast
        • 10 Years
        8 years, 8 months ago

        Yoshida and King on the bench for me 🙁

        Luckily valencia didn't play

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

      17. Make United Great Again
        • 13 Years
        8 years, 8 months ago

        Team for next GW.

        Heaton
        Stephens Walker Valencia
        Redmond Coutinho Alli(vc) Eriksen
        Aguero(C) Lukaku Vardy

        Robinson, Carroll,Chambers, Ake.

        Just done Alonso Siggy > Stephens Eriksen for -4.

        2.9m in the bank to play around with now. Good moves?

        Quite tempted to save ft, but would Siggy and Llorente to Negredo and Eriksen be worth a hit?

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

          Nah not for me, West Ham are shocking at the back, Siggy has a good chance of a good haul
