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'm presuming you FH in 32? If so I'd honestly do a - 8 and go Pogba, Aguero to Maddison, Higuain or Arni

          In isolation if you offered me any combination of these four players I would go for Wilson and Fraser. I can understand the reluctance to triple up however.

      Yeah I kinda feel Lanzini will set on fire at some point - but he doesn't seem to have that many minutes under his belt yet. Arnie also not quite getting as many minutes as I'd like to start. Both got soooo much potential!!

      I'm tempted to say B in this case...

        Thoughts please:

        Fabianski
        TAA / Rice / Azpi
        Mane / Salah / Hazard / Fraser
        Vardy / Wilson / Perez

        Subs: Boruc, Chilwell, Tarkowski, Antonio

                  I think it is worth it but the FH chip could help alot then build up for the next blank rather* ignore what I wrote below

                Or activate the FH chip if you don't want hits then build up for 35

                Agreed. Improved as it went on. His best tv since Extras anyway.

                Ricky Gervais deserves mixed reviews at best imo but I'm quite looking forward to watching this. Seems quite a good premise. Does it reach Office standards?
