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.

          It's a FH go for Arnie -little to lose as you're not stuck with him and there's a huge possible upside.

          I'd rather have him than any of the Bournemouth boys this week in your shoes.

          Forget Alonso though - really hard to seem getting a game. That was the shadow team out tonight and even if he did play small odds on attacking return.

    Already have King & Barnes upfront for BGW31. For my third striker spot shoudl I go with:

    The Differential Article option of Perez
    The obvious Vardy.

    I'm at 300k rank so thinking the former as I have nowt to lose.

      Vardy or Wilson (untrustworthy herd instinct pick)

      Forget the rank. It's easy to rise 70K or so places in a week without going wild. Did that last week even without Sterling and deciding to keep Kun over Vardy (against all my instincts). Wait for others to go wild.

      Perez would be wild. Arnie would be a dangerous but valid punt.
