With the final match of Gameweek 28 not taking place until Thursday, our usual members’ article focuses on the nine fixtures already done and dusted.

Gameweek 31 plays a part in our assessment as the Fantasy Premier League (FPL) transfer market rushes to acquire Liverpool’s in-form Brazilian and Stoke’s playmaker at a time when Bournemouth’s frontman is shown the door.

Meanwhile, we cast an eye over Man United and Brighton’s strikers, while a certain Huddersfield midfielder makes a claim for consideration as a differential.

Paul Is certain he won't make the same mistakes next season. Follow them on Twitter

      A? Still have Rose back to contend with.

      1. zotter
        • 16 Years
        7 years, 10 months ago

        He has been back for four months and barely featured in the league

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

      Save and play Shaq over Ayew imo

    3. Big Ping
      • 7 Years

      B is a horrible move. Team looks pretty good Id hold!

  2. Colonel Klink
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    7 years, 10 months ago

    Is Milner at all a viable defender (OOP on midfield)? Or is his game time just totally unreliable?

    Attacking points plus clean sheets plus GW31 nonblank would be excellent.

    1. zotter
      • 16 Years
      7 years, 10 months ago

      Totally unreliable and at least six other viable pool options ahead of him for a slot atm

      I would prefer Roberson vvd out of the defenders

      1. Colonel Klink
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years

        Cheers.

      • 8 Years
      7 years, 10 months ago

      could be one week punt in 31 if it looks like he´ll start but as long as we have three slots from each team it seems like a wasteful use of slot? But if nailed, yes could have been gold

    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years

    I played my wildcard this week. 55 points so far, Mkhitaryan and Aubameyang to play.

    How do you reckon this team holds up over the course of the season?

    Pickford | Foster
    Maguire | Mee | Trippier | Robertson | Ake
    Salah | Eriksen | Mkhitaryan | Doucoure | Cook
    Kane | Aubameyang | Firmino

    1. zotter
      • 16 Years
      7 years, 10 months ago

      Team itself looks good however you may have trouble navigating blanks. Do you have FH

    2. CloudSky
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 10 months ago

      Hard to say without seeing the rest of blanks and doubles.

    3. Colonel Klink
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 10 months ago

      I would say well. Cook the weak link. You’ll want some City again before long.

      eriksen--> sterling/kdb/sane for me

  4. CloudSky

    For any betting aficionados, Real against Espanyol at 1.62 looks a sure thing tonight. Starts in 10.

    1. Professor Abel X
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years

      Glad I didn’t see this earlier

  5. liiusions

    Need to transfer in an Everton defender this week or next. Who looks the best option? The full backs have competition as Coleman/Baines come back from injury and no CB has managed to nail down a spot all season ...

    1. zotter
      • 16 Years
      7 years, 10 months ago

      Avoid then. Maybe Pickford.

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

        Don't fancy any of the other defences for 31. Already got VVD and Bauer also

        1. zotter
          • 16 Years
          7 years, 10 months ago

          I don’t fancy Everton either. Maybe Huddersfield.

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

            Hmm I might have to, didn't realise they have 2 good home games in 30 and 31. Cheers 🙂

    2. Karan_G14
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 10 months ago

      Can see Shaqiri scoring against that porus Everton defence in 31. Wouldn’t go near them.

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

        It's only for 30 and 31 as I'll WC 32

  6. Patch
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 10 months ago

    Looks like Big Shaq is rising tonight/ tomorrow...time to bite the bullet with Lingard/ Richarlison...

    1. zotter
      • 16 Years
      7 years, 10 months ago

      Would keep richarlison this week. Shift lingaard

    2. Emiliano Sala
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 10 months ago

      I'm thinking to ditch him. No WC and I will get him on FH gw31. Tempted by arnie

  7. Emiliano Sala
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 10 months ago

    Will I get 3 playing defender next gw?

      In order

      95pc. 20pc. 75pc. 75pc. 25pc

    1FT 1.6ITB
    DDG (Elliot)
    Mee Naughton VVD (Azpi Ota)
    Walcott Sterling Salah Gundo (Allen)
    Kane Firmino JAyew

    What to do with this lot?
    A)was thinking Azpi --> Bavies but just worried about rotation risk.
    B)Also probaby looking to be rid of gundo soon, was thinking for mhk/ramsey/arnie??
    C) And would allen --> shaq be worth it, or waste of a FT right now?

    Ideas welcome!

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

      Got your WC? If you do i wouldn't be transferring in anyone who doesn't play in 31

      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 10 months ago

      yeah very nice team, id hold. lvp defence double up could be risky or good tho

      1. WE ARE RANGERS
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 10 months ago

        Yah I usually have Robertson on bench but not really feeling Wilson or Niasse over him this week

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

      Save. Would personally play Wilson over Maguire/Robbo

      1. WE ARE RANGERS
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 10 months ago

        Yes, believe me I am very tempted but have Maguire and want a Leicster cleanie 🙂

  11. Emiliano Sala
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 10 months ago

    Best budget defender?
    Thinking about cedric or lowton for their dgw.
    No wc and planning to get dgw players
    Already have 3 liverpool and leicester

    1. FPL Scoop
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years

    Pickford
    VvD • Otamendi • Kiko
    Salah • Mahrez • Son • Deulofeu
    Aguero • Kane • Wilson
    (Elliot, Choupo-M, Christensen, Duffy)

    1. liiusions

      Can you afford Deul->Shaq?

      1. RAFA THE GAFFA
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 10 months ago

        Nope 0.1 short 😎 can’t catch a break mate! Did Ox >> Deulo for -4 last week with 31 in mind too 🙁

      1. Ajax Hamsterdam
        • 11 Years

        1. Ajax Hamsterdam
          • 11 Years
          7 years, 10 months ago

          Unless you re willing to lose aguero for firmino ?

            • 9 Years
            7 years, 10 months ago

            1. Ajax Hamsterdam
              • 11 Years

    Albrighton to Mahrez or waste of a transfer ? Thanks

    1. We Will Klopp you
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 10 months ago

      Make the move, of course it's not a waste. One's a crap option, the other's a great one.

      1. Ajax Hamsterdam
        • 11 Years
        7 years, 10 months ago

        Ok thanks . Albrighton not that had though 😉

    3. Ajax Hamsterdam

      Thanks guys. Think I m focusing too much on bringing players for gw31 when there are still points to be won until then

          Fernandez, up to you though, look at the clean sheet odds first.

    I dont know if any of the website admins are reading, but if you are can you change the way a link opens in an article?
    The current situation does not open the link in a new tab, but in the same tab.
    Can you change it so it opens on a new tab?
    I am a HTC 10 owner and have the latest andriod IOS and using chrome. I dont know if its the same for iphone or other andriod users.

    Do we know when the GW34 fixtures will be announced? Its difficult planning this without them

    1. Ajax Hamsterdam
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 10 months ago

      On the 19/03 or around that I believe

  18. Buck The Trent
    • 14 Years

    Best GK for GW31 and also as a cover for Pope?

    A Foster
    B Butland
    C Pickford
    D Begovic
    E Lossi

    1. BAMBAA
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 10 months ago

      I think I'm going to do E.

    2. Monkey Hanger
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 10 months ago

      I'm tempted by the Watford keeper. Should get save points, plus a back up if Liverpool blank.

      1. St. Joseph

        I'm fed up of BUR not keeping CS's anymore this is basically last chance saloon for one of them as i will be getting rid of one of the two for the BGW anyway

    salah walcott sterling allen gundo
    kane firmino jayew
    thinking:

    1) azpi --> bavies/ vert (bavies still rotation risk?) (for GW 29)
    2) allen + elliot --> shaq (safer bet?) + foster (for GW30) (-4 hit)
    3) gundo --> doucoure/deulofeu (for GW31)
    4) GW32 - take stock, probably save
    5)GW33 - WC - bring in some arsenal mid and something else

    Is there any chance the Arsenal vs Man City game will be cancelled because of the weather conditions?

    1. Ajax Hamsterdam
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 10 months ago

      Doubt it

    2. Ron_Swanson

      no way

      1. Ron_Swanson
        • 15 Years
        7 years, 10 months ago

        possibly postponed though

        1. dark91
          • 10 Years
          7 years, 10 months ago

          Yes I meant cancelled as in postponed for later not cancelled for good 😀

    3. BobB
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      7 years, 10 months ago

      It should be cancelled because it is not a contest

    4. Ógie
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years

      Worst blizzards since 1982 expected so there must be a chance.

          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 13 Years

    Which option is better?

    C TAA > VVD
    D Something else that I've missed

    1. Ziyech on the Bench
      • 8 Years

      I like B Elliot => Pickford. But I also think it's time to bounce OTamendi

    2. Scapegoat Salah
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 10 months ago

      C for me

  25. Ziyech on the Bench

    0FT 3M ITB.

    Adrian / Elliot

    Duffy, VVD, Fernandez / Ogbonna, Mbemba

    Sterling, Shaqiri, Hazard, Salah (C), Albrighton

    Kane, Firminho / Quaner

    Anyone got ideas for how to use the 3M I have saved?
    Pretty satisfied with having 5 players for GW 31 (ML rival similar).
    No chips left, Would like to keep green arrow going!

  26. Scapegoat Salah
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 10 months ago

    Most considering ditching Son while I'm thinking of bringing him in. Certainly starts most games although didn't at the weekend I know.
    Fancy a haul at home to Huddersfield.

    1. Scapegoat Salah
      • 9 Years

      Thinking of doing Sterling to Son if Sterling could still be out

        Really why?

    3. Garlana
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 10 months ago

      As an owner I'm keeping, but it's highly dependent on the Rochdale game. I wouldn't bring him in now if I didn't own already, too much competition, Moura, lamela are gonna get some minutes.

      1. Scapegoat Salah
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 10 months ago

        Ok thanks, I'll see if he plays in the Rochdale game - forgot about Moura

    Any potential fantasy ramifications of this Swansea game?

    1. Garlana

      Unfortunately they blank 31 if they win or lose.

      1. Garlana
