Saturday’s matches conclude at Stamford Bridge with champions Chelsea hosting relegation-threatened Crystal Palace.

There is plenty of interest from a Fantasy perspective, with Willian heading into the encounter as the third most signed player ahead of today’s deadline.

He has over 100,000 new owners and boasts three goals and three assists from his last five Gameweek starts, one of which was a 32-minute appearance at Watford.

The Brazilian is now in 11% of Fantasy Premier League squads, which surprisingly dwarfs the 7.6% recorded by team-mate Eden Hazard.

The Belgian will be fancied ahead of this evening’s kick-off, having scored six goals in his last eight Gameweek starts. He has been spared the false nine role, with Antonio Conte opting for Olivier Giroud over Alvaro Morata to lead his attack.

N’Golo Kante returns in the Chelsea midfield, which will doubtless boost their clean sheet prospects. Conte’s backline have kept five shut-outs in their last six Stamford Bridge outings.

Mark Mark created the beast. He's now looking to tame it.

    put myself in a situation where I have potentially 10 players next week. Still tempted to play free hit chip but I guess it's not worth it?

    1. Colonel Shoe 肝池
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 9 months ago

      10 is immense....ill be lucky if i have 8

    2. shotgunnufc - MANIAC
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      7 years, 9 months ago

      totally not worth it now, you’ve probably got well over half the players you’d want anyway

    3. ZeBestee
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 9 months ago

      Not worth it at all imo. Whom are you going to bring in using the FH?

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

      only 10? Use your free hit and get 11

    5. John t penguin
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 9 months ago

      Why would you play it for one more player?
      Unless you have picked all the worst options

    6. Bubz
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 9 months ago

      Are you serious?

    7. Desperately Seeking Dusan
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 9 months ago

      If you have 10 - and presumably 3 ‘pool - why would you FH even if you had some uncertain starters?

  2. #FPLBhuna
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 9 months ago

    33 from 8 not the best

    Kane(c), lloris and Richarlison to go

    How’s everyone done?

    1. The special 5
      • 9 Years

      Boasting post just grow up you know that's a good score this gw

  3. Colonel Shoe 肝池

    cant believe pva suddenly come alive

  4. Greenbackbøøg…

    Also play your triple captain while you're at it

  5. Rash
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 9 months ago

    Thoughts on Kane eriksen to j. King shaq -4?

    Will leave me with this for 31

    Pickford
    Kenny*
    McArthur wally shaq salah
    Mounie firmino king

    1. IAWC ( It's a Wonderfu…
      • 8 Years

      Good moves

  6. DrunkPhilosophy
    • 11 Years
    7 years, 9 months ago

    First attempt at this, but how does this FH team look?

    Pickford
    Coleman Ake Schindler
    Shaqiri Salah Mane Zaha
    Firmino Tosun Deeney

    1. IAWC ( It's a Wonderfu…
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 9 months ago

      Pickford to butland
      Tosun to King
      Rest fine

      1. DrunkPhilosophy
        • 11 Years
        7 years, 9 months ago

        Tosun has 2 in 2, Stoke concede a lot.. but tempted by Deeney to King

        1. IAWC ( It's a Wonderfu…
          • 8 Years
          7 years, 9 months ago

          Think Coleman is enough Everton coverage away from home i think

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

      Wouldn't get Deeney, punt on Mounie/Wilson instead. Palace score goals, get someone other than Schindler and would get Butland instead of Pickford. The rest is probably as good as it gets.

    Is it worth it playing free-hit next week if you don't have a WC left or wait for the 2nd double GW ?

    1. TorresMagic™
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 16 Years
      7 years, 9 months ago

      Depends on your team. Could use it in a DGW instead.

    One def slot, one mid....

    A. PVA.
    B. Ake
    C. Daniels
    D. Coleman

    1. Stanislas
    2. Zaha

    1. JohnnyMagrinho
        7 years, 9 months ago

        Ake and Zaha.

        Everton after next week have some tough fixtures. I think Ake looks good for the next few games and if Zaha is back, well, he’s going straight into my team.

        1. Fpl Richie
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 10 Years
          7 years, 9 months ago

          I'll wc 32. But that was what I had veered towards

    2. Scapegoat Salah

      Sorry for the repost:

      Alonso, Mee, Simpson, T.Carroll
      To
      PVA, Zanka, Bauer, Shaqiri for a -12?

      Would leave me with 9 for BGW:

      Hennessey
      Robertson | PVA | Zanka | Bauer
      Salah | Shaqiri | Milivojevic
      Firmino

      Elliot | Hazard | Kane | Vardy | Dummett | Mahrez

      Thanks

      1. IAWC ( It's a Wonderfu…

        Don't get zanka. -8 enough

        1. Scapegoat Salah
          • 9 Years

          Ok thanks

    3. ZeBestee

      Seems Niasse has lost his place again.

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

        Lost it last gw, Big Sam hates Niasse and bought Tosun, with Big Sam's ego, you could see it comes

        1. ZeBestee
          • 11 Years
          7 years, 9 months ago

          But Niasse has not been good tbf. Tosun hasn't done much either but he scored 2 games in a row and they paid 27M for him so he starts. Niasse has been a bad fpl acquisition tbh.

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

            Niasse scored one week, blanked (was also subbed early) then was benched, I guarantee Tosun won't get that treatment, not saying Niasse is a great player but he's done well when played this season and has been treated harshly. You rarely get good fpl aqusitions for 5m.

            1. ZeBestee
              • 11 Years
              7 years, 9 months ago

              I think he has been given chances by Big Sam tbf to him.

    4. IAWC ( It's a Wonderfu…

      Folks how does this look for -8
      Gonna WC in gw32
      Pickford
      Ake Coleman Dawson
      Salah mane Shaq mcarthur
      Wilson king firmino??
      Moves are Kane + oggy + Erik to mane + Ake + king

      1. Jeremy Corbyn
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 9 months ago

        Meh, -8 is a lot, not sure it's rewarding

        1. IAWC ( It's a Wonderfu…
          • 8 Years
          7 years, 9 months ago

          Well u have to try right

    5. Flinchy
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 9 months ago

      Only got 4 starters in 31. FH or taking hits worth it? Or just sit it out and hope for the best?

      1. Jeremy Corbyn
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 9 months ago

        depends on who you've got

        1. Flinchy
          • 8 Years
          7 years, 9 months ago

          Salah, Firmino (standard)
          Pritchard
          Mariappa

          1. Jeremy Corbyn
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 8 Years
            7 years, 9 months ago

            I would probably free hit

      2. DrunkPhilosophy
        • 11 Years
        7 years, 9 months ago

        I have 4 and I'm using my FH, no better time for it.

        1. Jeremy Corbyn
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 8 Years
          7 years, 9 months ago

          if it's Salah, Mane, Firmino and Shaqiri, I would probably not free hit

        2. Flinchy
          • 8 Years
          7 years, 9 months ago

          What’s the argument for 35 though?

      3. Rhinos
        • 12 Years
        7 years, 9 months ago

        sounds very free hitty to me

    6. The Royal Robin
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 9 months ago

      Any chance of Deulofeu being back any time soon?

      1. Rhinos
        • 12 Years
        7 years, 9 months ago

        only if he finds one of those pods in alien ot other sci fi films

      Here is my OR calculator for top 50k after today’s games. There will be some inaccuracies (not significant hopefully) as there is something missing that I don’t have time to find before the update.

    8. V-2 Schneiderlin
      • 15 Years
      7 years, 9 months ago

      goodbye Alonso from my team - can't believe I missed his major hauls, sums up my season. Time to invest in attack

      1. Fred54
        • 10 Years
        7 years, 9 months ago

        Sold before deadline, but same sentiment. Worst part is that he tied up money to invest in my midfield.

        1. V-2 Schneiderlin
          • 15 Years
          7 years, 9 months ago

          exactly this - so many good mids to choose from, it was my mistake not selling Alonso sooner and reinvesting in midfield

      2. Jeremy Corbyn
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 9 months ago

        Was he not a season keeper?

        1. V-2 Schneiderlin
          • 15 Years
          7 years, 9 months ago

          so it seemed!

    9. Jeremy Corbyn
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 9 months ago

      Zaha and Tosun a good deal (for no hit)?

      1. Flinchy
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 9 months ago

        Tosun look on form, nearly signed him this morning.

      2. JohnnyMagrinho
          7 years, 9 months ago

          Depends who you’re taking out and what your team is going to look like from GW32 onwards.

          Also think about when you’re WCing too.

          1. Jeremy Corbyn
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 8 Years
            7 years, 9 months ago

            I'm taking out Alli and Ayew, WC right after

        • V-2 Schneiderlin
          • 15 Years
          7 years, 9 months ago

          Tosun form seems good but not sure about Everton's away form at the moment

      3. Whats the Mata?
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        7 years, 9 months ago

        Zaha or Stanislas in for a hit?
        Already have josh King and 9 players for 31.

        1. Jeremy Corbyn
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 8 Years
          7 years, 9 months ago

          Zaha

      4. Schliegs
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 9 months ago

        Alright folks, who's everyones picks for top 5 GW31 scorers?

        1. A.T
          • 15 Years
          7 years, 9 months ago

          Salah

        2. ZeBestee
          • 11 Years
          7 years, 9 months ago

          3 Pool and Shaqiri for starters.

          1. JohnnyMagrinho
              7 years, 9 months ago

              I’m liking Zaha more than Shaqiri myself. Really don’t trust Stoke and they have Arsenal away GW32

              1. ZeBestee
                • 11 Years
                7 years, 9 months ago

                Depends if you have WC chip available. Shaqiri is a no brainer imo

              2. Zilla
                • 8 Years
                7 years, 9 months ago

                Arsenal? Why do you say it as a bad thing.

          2. IAWC ( It's a Wonderfu…
            • 8 Years
            7 years, 9 months ago

            Salah
            Mane
            King
            Firmino
            Shaq

        3. Del Monte
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 14 Years
          7 years, 9 months ago

          I want to avoid my attackers and defenders playing each other next week but it’s so difficult without going all in on sides that you can’t be confident in except Liverpool.

        4. Scapegoat Salah
          • 9 Years
          7 years, 9 months ago

          Keep having memories of the King hat trick in the BGW last season....

          1. Rash
            • 8 Years
            7 years, 9 months ago

            That's why I'm bringing him in and giving him the armband.. im chasing 100 points so need to be brave!

            1. Yippeekiyay Mertersacker
              • 8 Years
              7 years, 9 months ago

              If I remember correctly King was OOP most of the time he returned last season. Now that he has been reclassified and the other 2 main strikers are fit I wouldn't get your hopes up

              1. Rash
                • 8 Years
                7 years, 9 months ago

                He was a midfielder playing as a striker.. No difference this season except less points for goals. Depending on what happens tomorrow but that's my initial plan as I have nothing to lose.

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

            Good memories. Not sure Im brave enough to C him.

        5. Zilla
          • 8 Years
          7 years, 9 months ago

          Coutinho and Suarez, poor Liverpool fans

          so walcott should play next week eh

            • 9 Years
            7 years, 9 months ago

            Yeah took off precautionary Allardyce said he will be fit next week

            1. The special 5
              • 9 Years

              It was cramp but Siggy is injured

          7 years, 9 months ago

          GW30 will go down as the most annoying gameweek of the season. I should really have played the free hit for GW31 and own Mahrez and Silva instead of duds like Siggy and Walcott.

          1. Fred54
            • 10 Years
            7 years, 9 months ago

            As a Mahrez and Walcott owner I'm just confused.

            I feel the exact same Granville. Trying to be too clever I think

              Your alternative was van La Parra and he also did sweet FA even against 10 men.

                Two good fixtures. Better shot accuracy than Walcott.
                Not suffering cramp.

                Feel better with him, plus frees up cash to give me options.

                  I know you never admit to making mistakes but I believe we all made one by not free hitting in GW31

                    Will definitely admit to that mistake if the gwk 35 free hit proves worse.

                    Can’t judge the gwk 31 fH until that’s done.

                      I've been advocating a GW31 FH for a while - not on the strength of GW31 per se, but because of all the points it will gain us pre and post-GW31 by virtue of not having to carry rubbish like Walcott and van la Parra.

                      Of course I didn't follow my advice because my team has been horrible recently, so there haven't been that many points to protect by playing the free hit!

                        I'm carrying 2 FT, so it's probably not a good idea to change tack now. I'm just disappointed that I was undecided 2 weeks ago and decided to go this way. I had did BSilva->Siggy and he goes on to score twice. He'll probably score against Stoke too.

                          Same, I got Walcott instead of Mahrez for example with the intention of hedging my bets about the free hit. The way I interpret the chip is that it's a great enabler to carry the best players on either side of a BGW (any points gained on the actual week the chip is played are gravy), but since I didn't do that I might as well keep it for GW35 and hope for a bit of luck.

            Agree. I missed out on so much Mahrez in preparation. Sterling just added insult to injury.

            This was a big trap. I think it wasnt worth any BGW player except Shaq and Mane/Robertson/VVD. But now its a lesson to be learned.

              Of course Firmino/Salah were owned by many before so i haven't included them.

            I've gone with a mixed approach to bringing in GW30/32 and GW31 players - to keep my options open. I do have Mahrez, but if I didn't have Niasse/Wilson I would almost definitely have had J.Ayew this week. I'm spending 10.6 on Haz and he got 3 points. Sterling/Ramsey might not even play - the GW isn't over yet, most options may/have underperform/ed.

            I always agreed with the Andy view of taking hits but having good players up until then. One thing I’ve finally learnt this season (after the DGW this season and getting in 3 WHU) is the folly of bringing in rubbish players gradually leading up to a BGW or DGW. That said, when you’ve still had Chelsea defenders like me it still doesn’t do you any good.

              I think Andy’s strategy may prove the most successful as he has the best of all worlds plus fH for gwk 35 still .

                So much for Andy's worst mistake of the season getting Baines. Turned out nice for him.

            Yea it really sucks, I genuinely thought some of these players would perform though.

            Players like Wilson with Bournemouth’s lovely run of fixtures leading up to GW31 seemed a no brained.
            Walcotts just another disaster I cannot wait to sell him!

            Just seen the Bong OG. Walcott is scoring that without the Bong touch. Guess that's the luck going against you.

            I don't know about this. Yes, I got Theo for gw30 and g31, and I've currently got 7 players for gw31 (albeit one is Quaner), but I have not sold Eriksen, Mahrez, Alonso, Otamendi, and Pope to prep. The key is to have a good mix, if not free hitting in gw31. So, so far, I am having an above average gw30 (36 points), and still have 7 players for gw31, and will make one, or maybe two moves (-4) for gw31. I guess the evaluation has to come after gw31, and more so, even after fhc is used in gw35.

            Its because Opta for some reason didnt think his assist for Vardy counted as a Big Chance Created.
