The Technical Area – Breaking Gameweek 31’s Template

1,225 Comments
Share

With just four fixtures confirmed for Gameweek 31 so far, Fantasy Premier League (FPL) options for this particular weekend appear thin on the ground.

Restricted to just three players from any one side, managers find themselves exploring hitherto uncharted waters in the hopes of fleshing out a starting lineup capable of returning an adequate points haul.

Though a number of us may choose to preserve our Free Hit Chips for Gameweek 35 instead – content to roll out just seven or eight players in Gameweek 31 – others may view this Gameweek as an ideal opportunity to deploy the Free Hit now in order to gain ground on the pack.

With this in mind, this Technical Area will be looking beyond the obvious candidates for filling out our Gameweek 31 squads and pinpointing some high-upside players capable of big returns.

    Toughest moves of the season this week for me. If you could kindly take a moment and give me your thoughts?

    A) Jones >> VVD (Roll FT)

    B) Jones + Pogba >> Robertson + Mahrez

    C) Jones / Azpil / Pogba >> VVD / Evans / Mahrez -4

    D) Kun / Pogba / Masuaku >> Firmino / Mahrez / VVD -4
