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.

    Best pick:

    B) Do Jimenez > Vardy for a -4 and bench Westwood

    Did it: Rashford to Arnie rather than to Wilson. Going for the points this week, even though a bit riskier, sounds like he'll start though. Newcastle don't really let in hat fulls often but Cruddersfield do. Got a decent 11 out. Good night.

    Dilemma! 2 FTS and need a keeper. I can field 11 with higgi a potential doubt. -4 for Wilson taking out jimi but jimi's 9+ on projected for his dgws scarring me!

    Would you ride with

    Fabs
    Trant, vdv, rice, keane
    Hazard, rich, sigi, mane
    Arni, higgy.

    Or minus 4 with Wilson taking out 9+ dgw jimi but replacing keane this gw . I am WC gw34.

    This is 3 gw play.

    Hope that makes sense 🙂

        Interesting. Does that take into account Wilson and King playing together? Or was that King playing when WIlson was out?

          I did tally of 10 home games where Fraser King and Wilson all played

          Fraser 68pts
          Wilson 57pts
          King 50pts

          Wilson has missed King's last three home matches.

            King scored well at home recently without Wilson. Thought to add that

      Wilson is a more natural goalscorer, but King is getting good chances and will Get his fair share of points as well.

      Not worth a hit, don’t even think it’s worth it for free.

    Who would you prioritise bringing in this week folks?

    a) Hazard
    b) Mane
    c) Both, selling Pogba and losing £0.5m in the process

    Tinkering for FH32 already.

    Is anybody thinking of pairing lukaku and rashford and leave pogba out?
    his form dipped lately and rash vs pogba is cheaper.

        That's template for United, i get it...but i think the luk+rash is thinking outside the box to find ways to improve FH

      Pogbas form has dipped because weve missed Herrera & Matic in the midfield. If they are back after IB then pogba will play alot miore attacking

        That is even other concern for our FHteams. After IB you can not use "form" to judge teams/players. Some players will come from IB to play 2 games on 32, cup 33 and europe before 34, right? Thats a problem 🙁

      Pogba I think is the only 100% tied on United assets up front. I don't see Lukaku getting both games especially if Martial and Lingard are around and fit. (There Rashford form is hardly ideal either.)

      Quite likely Pogba will be my only United player unless I go De Gea

    Anyone else considering Pedro (was rested tonight) instead of Fraser for 31-32? He should get at least 90 mins over two matches in GW32 against weak opposition? (I’m not not free-hitting in 32)
