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.

      Ive owned Costa and Zaha for a combined total of 7 gameweeks over the season, 6 of those gameweeks they've given me a total of 10pts, the seventh i benched Zaha for his 11pt haul 😯 and just to rub salt into the wounds i benched King for him this week. The joys of FPL

        Similar here, mate. I'm always a week too late to the party, or ditch them just before a haul. Had Hazard, Sanchez, Costa and Firmino (to name four popular picks) at different spells but have missed loads of their best returns. Costa has been a nightmare for me. I missed Hazard's brilliant October run. Missed Sanchez's West Ham away haul. I could go on. If I actually looked at it in more detail to analyse the moves I've made and what it cost me, it would just depress me!

          • 14 Years
          8 years, 8 months ago

          Funny that Im not a clock, rarely make pronouncements and when I do, I'm usually on point.

          1. Rhinos
            • 12 Years
            8 years, 8 months ago

            what you mean is you rarely remind us when your pronouncements are wrong

            1. Yank Revolution
              • 14 Years
              8 years, 8 months ago

              I notice you like to rebuke people, I suggest you find a new hobby.

                He does have a very valid point though which you didn't actually answer. Statements such as the one you made are not only pointless but very tedious. As if you are the source of all wisdom. Pathetic.

        Hazard ibra vardy in WC.

        Sanchez in WC then c.

    • F4L
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 8 months ago

      What do I actually do with Sanchez? Like if he keeps playing LW, he aint worth the money

      1. FPL Maldini
        • 11 Years
        8 years, 8 months ago

        Keep until you WC in 35, then decide then

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

          cba tbh, I need to catch up, and he isn't doing anything

          1. Rhinos
            • 12 Years
            8 years, 8 months ago

            no point asking then

      2. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
        • 15 Years
        8 years, 8 months ago

        Swap for Ozil

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

          God no! 🙂

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

        Double up Alli & Eriksen if you've not already done so.

        I was gonna be buying Sanchez back around now...that was the plan. Not bothering now.

    • Js31
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 8 months ago

      When is Kane back?

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

      Damn, there were a couple of Ben Davis to Son chances!

    • camarozz
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 8 months ago

      See some on here thinking bout selling Sanchez. My plan last two wks was to bring him in ?? Mostly as my TC pick.
      What to do??

    • F4L
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 8 months ago

      What are the chances Sane gets rested for Hull?

    • JÆKS ⭐
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 8 months ago

      Sanchez to Hazard is tempting me!

      1. Stats Don\'t Lie
        • 11 Years
        8 years, 8 months ago

        I see I am not the only one thinking of this...

        Sanchez just not as good on the wing. Ozil really coming into his depth too...

      2. Kane-harry Island
        • 8 Years
        8 years, 8 months ago

        I just might do it after weekend

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

        Remember that Hazard plays at home, fails away normally though.

        bou man SOU eve MID not amazing fixtures.

    • Lav
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 8 months ago

      50(-4) here. Could have been so much better if I captained Vardy or Eriksen. Roon 7 on bench hurts too.

      Dropped 94k to 105k yesterday. Hope its a small drop again today, but I would take a surprise green.

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

        51 here, ranked 101k, hopefully will move into the top 100k

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

          Fair. Think I possibly could get a small green? If not surely a small red and nothing more?

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

            you want be moving too much down, poss a small green today even

    • WE GO FOR IT
      • 9 Years
