We check in with the Opta data next and roll out our usual post-Gameweek assessment of the weekend’s standout performers.
Huddersfield Town’s target man and a certain Liverpool winger both up their attacking potential ahead of a reduced Gameweek 31.
Meanwhile, big-hitters from the Leicester, Spurs and Arsenal midfields stake a claim for our upcoming Wildcards, while we also check out the impact of Chelsea’s new frontman at Stamford Bridge.

Thanks all. Have to believe you

As Kane is out until May:
Get King for Kane and keep Son, as Son probably play forward some matche?
Will mean not getting Stanislas for Son.
Do you wc in 32 ? Of no yep that's a good idea.
Cheers, WC in GW 32 or 33
Son becomes essential
Kane is out til May?
See Tweet
No Tominay or Mata 😯
Bet Fellaini is there to rough up Banega. He was a big problem in the first leg.
Do Kane to King tonight?
Seriously considering with 2 FTs. But it's just .1. Would be a good question for ScoutCast tn.
I d wait
Surprised to see so many GW31 sides with opposing teams in them.
Surely in a one-off GW like this, it's as much about picking the likely outcome as any individual players?
Surely it's Shaqiri OR Coleman / Baines, not and?
There's many ways to approach the situation. Not everyone likes to take the most risky one. I'd surely do that with FH. Wouldn't have Everton D.
Going in w/o FH I brought Pickford in early and Shaqiri after. Many have done the same and trying to cover the players that have highest ownership // will be in most FH teams to block
Fair enough - just wondered if I was missing something obvious!
Some of my GW31 players are opposing each other, but that is just because of the ways the fixtures fell. I wasn't planning for GW31 because it is a crap GW with mostly crap teams and it is only one GW.
Definitely see what you're saying. Particularly in games where you're not expecting cricket scores, getting a player with 3BP makes a big difference
ADDENDUM: If Shaqiri, Baines and Coleman all get the 3 baps, I'm quitting
Heh.
If you could only pick one..
A) Shaqiri
B) Stanislas
B
Tough. Probably B given how awful WBA is.
That's my thinking
cheers lads.
This is my GW31 team if I pull the trigger and get Stanislas and King in.
Anything worth a hit?
VVD, Zanka
Salah, Walcott, Stanislas, CM
Firmino, King
Butland would seriously tempt me. He's got at least 1 save point in last 14/15 gameweeks. So basically you'd be risking -1p for potential 4 point CS (+ potential bonus/pen save)
You have Zanka so that would sway me away from taking a hit for Zaha as you'd be limiting your overall maximum gain out if it.
What back 5 are people aiming for on their 32 wildcard?
Any obvious picks?
Depends on how heavy a front 8 you want (also if playing BB in GW34). Did one draft a few days ago... back five had Ota plus 4x Fodder but that was with Kane.
Morgan Stephens and naughton then 2 more premium ones not sure which though
Stephens? Really?
Anyone getting hazard in their wc team ? Thanks 🙂
He’s just not worth the money IMO
Willian better value
Nope think I’ll go with Willian & Christensen to cover Cheslea.
Willian
What about the rotation though ?
Expecting Barca to KO Chelsea. Willian should be 1st choice. Best player in the team lately. He can score from a bench easily.
Hopefully, totally agree.
No getting rid of KDB as well. Much more value in the likes of Mahrez, Son, Willian etc
Value is one thing but where do you invest he rest of the money ? Alonso instead of Christensen ? Fit in vardy instead of Murray ? Tough choices haha 🙂 thanks again
Yes sure, two good examples of how money can be better spent.
Thanks for replies guys very useful stuff.
Are there any teams with a game in 31, DGW34 and a game in 35?
Are there any DGW34 fixtures known?
Do you know when they will announce the dgw fixtures?
Before gw32 or 33??
Next week.
If only the missing 31's move to 34, the answer is no.
Cheers mate, I simply haven't had time to look into it properly
So much for Poch saying it was all good!!!
Contrary to reports Kane hasn't yet went for a scan.
https://twitter.com/DaveHytner/status/973639139559165952
Alonso + Sterling --> Coleman + Shaqiri -4
Or
Sterling + Mkhi --> Shaqiri + Stanislas -4
Then wild card the week after?
Kane’s scan is tomorrow.
Planing for a good midfield in the end run of the season, with on of these one would you drop?
1. Salah
2. Mahrez
3. Son
4. Arnautovic
5.Sane
6.Willian
4
Same
4 and 5.
Not to be morbid but at least that makes my kane —> auba/Kanu decision on WC easier!
Barring Firmino, who's the next best striker for BGW31?
King
Scout Picks may only have Firmino, that's how bad they are.
But good point ^
This is what I'm dreading and worst of all - I don't even see more than 1-2 clean sheets!
I have no idea why people are backing King. Better to invest in defence unless you have Kane to remove
Bette and more consistent player than Wilson, most of the defenses playing are garbo
I disagree completely. I see no goals just clean sheets this gw.
0-0 everywhere!
Agree. Can see very few goals, bar Liverpool
Tbh I feel like we'll get few goals but few CS too. Games like 1-1 between Huddersfield cry and Stoke Everton
Look at Bou opponent next week.
*next GW
Mounie
Wilson will do well purely for the fact I've sold him
I'd say Mounie or Wilson
Whose appeal is being improved by Kane being out in your opinion?
- son?
- alli?
- Lorentte?
All three
All 3.
All 3, significantly llorente as he will likely be the team’s direct replacement, but I’m going with son for myself
Bavies Kane to Ake Tekkers seems like the moves for me
Tekkers and Walcott are FPL best two trollers to be honest
If you don't have chips left, is it better to look past GW31 (assuming you have 3 Liverpool) and ensuring you're set for the DGW fixtures instead?
Asking for a friend, I guess he was rash with his chips and regrets it now.
What do you think?
Nothing about Sanchez career would suggest he can play in the 10 position.. useless
The commentator on BT sport just said 0-0 is enough for united to go through..how does that work??
In DDG we trust.
They Still can’t go through if they haven’t scored but (even if they haven’t conceded)
Someone has to score in pens.
Opposition never given pens at Old Trafford 😛
They'll get 5 if it goes that far 😉
Fergie time.
You'd fancy us if it goes to penalties - Lukaku, Rashford, Mkhi, etc - fair few with good records
Mkhi back at United?
King is expected to start this weekend right? Seen people being put off by him not starting against Spurs but that was only because of a small knock picked up in training.
Started the 2 before that also so hopefully he is first choice.
If this Kane out until May is true then Son just became the main man.
When is best to use Wildcard + FH?
why on earth arent Siggy, Kane or Kun red flaged? FPL towers used to be better on this kind of updates...
And Sterling's still flagged.
He's not.
Must have just cleared it. It still makes me sick.
See a doctor.
I'm beyond the point of medical assistance
Siggy is red, the others are currently chances for GW32 seeing Kane scan isn't done.
Even Siggy isn't red yet...
Do you call that dark orange?
Haha dunno but 25% sure isn't red
Arnie > Stanislas (-4)?
Yeah
What's the deal with Mounie and Depoitre? Is it Mounie plays at home and Depoitre away (if both are fit)?
It was but Mounie seems to be the main man now.
6 years, 2 months agoCurrent 31 team, 2FT and I’m WC in 32
VVD Schindler Martina*
Salah Shaqiri Walcott
Firmino Quaner
I’m thinking of adding Stanislas and King to bring me up to 9 (+Martina). Is anyone else worth a hit?
