Our series of articles on the best Free Hit squad for Blank Gameweek 31 continues today with a look at midfielders.

Using data that can be found in the Fantasy Football Scout members area we have assessed which options are the most likely to find the back of the net, offer assists, or provide a combination of both.

Members can read on and take in our analysis, but those without membership can still enjoy Tuesday’s article on goalkeepers for free.

          I have King. Should I take -4 to get Wilson this week. I'm in a head-to-head league so it's more about, I haven't watched any Bournemouth matches. Is King not scoring because he's been unlucky? How big a risk am I taking here that Wilson posts double digits and King walks away with a blank? Thoughts?

              I owned Wilson for much of the season and he's been amazing but do feel there is some recency bias with him this week and King is the forgotten man. I'm actually considering King instead of Wilson, on pens too. Still undecided though.

            Why not transfer him out for Azpi or Luiz - he's not a 31/3 player after all and the odds are you get your 4 points back from one of those two.

          Anyone sticking the TC on Salah this week? Risky but potential massive upside?

            If you're TCing anyone this week it has to be Mane imo. Despite the stats between Salah and Mane in away games this season, he's in the form of his life

            My advice is wait, imagine bringing him in then during tomorrow mornings presser Howe tells us Wilson picked up a knock in training. Wait for all the info, forget the price.

              Dunno mate. That's a v cagey way to play it.

              That 0.1 could be crucial for free hit and wildcard

                I hear you, every season until this one ive made early transfers but this year I've tried to adopt the 'points over pounds' philosophy and it's really paid off at times. Obviously you have to do what you feel is best, early transfers often work with no problem at all, not for me this week though, I'm waiting until tomorrow.

          TAA - Robbo - Digne

          That's decent, right?
