The best midfielders to sign with the Free Hit chip in Blank Gameweek 31

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.

    Got 8 players for GW31 Anything worth a -4?

    Fabianski
    Wan Bissaka* - Robertson - TAA
    Hazard- Pogba* - Salah(C) - Brooks
    Aguero* - Vardy - Wilson

    Subs: Guaita* - Kolasinac* - Doherty* - Hojbjerg*.

    Thanks for the help

      5 years, 15 days ago

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

      1. Kiwivillan
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
        5 years, 15 days ago

        I'm doing -8 maybe -12 and no interest in Higuain and no room for Leicester mid and wouldn't be Maddison if were one

  2. Lignja

    sell Pogba to get Hazard?

    1. waldo666
      • 13 Years
      5 years, 15 days ago

      Depends on a bit, how much value have you got tied up, how many players are you getting out this week etc.

      1. Lignja
        • 6 Years
        5 years, 15 days ago

        got him for 8.1 so need to pay 0.3 or 4 more to get him back

    2. DrunkPhilosophy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 15 days ago

      Depends how much would you have to pay for him when you get him back.

    3. Big Al Stankovic
      • 11 Years
      5 years, 15 days ago

      If you’re not planning on getting him in for dgw32, then I’d do it.

  3. waldo666
    • 13 Years
    5 years, 15 days ago

    A) Aguero, Rashford & Kamara to Vardy, Wilson and Barnes -4 (10 starting)

    B) A + Bednarek to Luiz/Ake -8 (11 starting)

    1. Captain Beefheart
      • 10 Years
      5 years, 15 days ago

      A

      1. waldo666

        Cheers, Cap'n.

  4. FPL Blow-In

    Silly to get Alonso in on FH right?

    1. Tsparkes10
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 15 days ago

      Yup

    2. waldo666
      • 13 Years
      5 years, 15 days ago

      Yeah

  5. Tsparkes10
    • 5 Years
    5 years, 15 days ago

    Team for 31 and 33 so far:

    Fab
    TAA Digne VVD
    Salah Haz FelipeA
    Wilson Vardy

    Who for last 2 places? Money no problem and any positions as don't care who I lose. Thinking 2 of King, Ake Maddison and Fraser

    1. DrunkPhilosophy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 15 days ago

      I like Tielemans, Maddison, and Fraser

    2. Optic1
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 15 days ago

      Azpi and Fraser.

      1. Tsparkes10
        • 5 Years
        5 years, 15 days ago

        Don't like Chelsea defence for their fixtures

  6. DrunkPhilosophy
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years
    5 years, 15 days ago

    How’s this for a FH?
    Boruc
    Robertson Azpi Rice
    Salah Mane Hazard Tielemans
    Wilson Vardy Higuaín

    If Higuain is out, will get Arnatovic and upgrade somewhere else.

    1. Captain Beefheart
      • 10 Years
      5 years, 15 days ago

      Good

    2. Optic1
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 15 days ago

      Like.

    3. Kiwivillan
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 15 days ago

      Rather Fraser than Higuain 352

      1. EMBOLOFAN
        • 5 Years
        5 years, 15 days ago

        changed tune

    4. Big Al Stankovic
      • 11 Years
      5 years, 15 days ago

      Rather fraser for Tielemans.

    5. Ynwalfc
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 15 days ago

      Barnes over Arnie

  7. Optic1
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 7 Years
    5 years, 15 days ago

    About to take a -8 to bring in Maddison, Hazard and Wilson. How's she looking?

    Fabianski
    Robertson Luiz Digne
    Salah(c) Hazard Brooks Maddison
    Firmino Barnes Wilson

    Button Pogba Bennett Doherty

    Opinions welcome. Cheers

  8. Salah’s Sonnet
    • 12 Years
    5 years, 15 days ago

    Would be safe to bring in Hazard and Luiz for the blank if you wanted them wouldn’t it? Did neither play at all tonight?

    Thanks guys

    1. Cilly Bonnolly
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      5 years, 15 days ago

      Yeah. They both didn't feature. Those are my two Chelsea players. I was a bit worried about an injury as I did an early -8 this week to beat price rises.

      1. Salah’s Sonnet
        • 12 Years
        5 years, 15 days ago

        Cool, still i decided as yet, but yeah that’s good that both fidn’t feature, nice one 🙂

    2. Peter Ouch
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 15 days ago

      I would.
      Any news on pipita?

      1. Salah’s Sonnet
        • 12 Years
        5 years, 15 days ago

        Cheers man. Who is pipita? Haha

        1. Peter Ouch
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 5 Years
          5 years, 15 days ago

          Haha Higuain mate

      2. Surfeit of Lampteys
        • 6 Years
        5 years, 15 days ago

        'pipita'

        1. Peter Ouch
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 5 Years
          5 years, 15 days ago

          You?
          Again?

          1. Surfeit of Lampteys
            • 6 Years
            5 years, 15 days ago

            Yeah you a friend of his?

  9. Kub3
    • 5 Years
    5 years, 15 days ago

    I’m seriously considering captaining Mané over Salah. However, this might just be the game where Salah goes crazy.

    1. Salah’s Sonnet
      • 12 Years
      5 years, 15 days ago

      I really think it’s Salah’ turn this time round, typical of FPL 🙂

  10. UnitednationsXI
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    5 years, 15 days ago

    Best option here for gw31/33:

    Fabianki
    TAA • Digne • Pereira • Lascelles -- Schindler
    Salah • XXX • Richarlison • XXX -- Pogba
    King • XXX -- XXX

    A: Hazard + Fraser + Vardy (-4)
    B: Hazard + Mane + Wilson (-4)
    C: Mane + Wilson + Arnie (-4)
    D: Hazard + Robbo + Arnie (-4)

    1. Big Al Stankovic
      • 11 Years
      5 years, 15 days ago

      B. No doubt!

    2. Tsparkes10
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 15 days ago

      This

  11. Eedee

    • 13 Years
    5 years, 15 days ago

    Guys, is it possible to know if your mini league opponent is using freehit chip? My mini-league is H2H league and I always try to guess my opponents' transfer using his team value.

    1. Kiwivillan
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 15 days ago

      Mine has. 0 transfers and his team value has dropped over 1mil

    2. Optic1
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 15 days ago

      Don't think so.

  12. FPL Blow-In
    • 11 Years
    5 years, 15 days ago

    This is where I’m at so far.

    Fabianski
    Robertson, Azpi, Rice
    Salah, Hazard, Mane, Fraser
    Vardy, Wilson, Arnie

    Boruc, Taylor, Barnes, 4m

    Thoughts?

    1. Tsparkes10
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 15 days ago

      Nice

    2. jjandellis
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 15 days ago

      Yeah same here except I have Perez for Arnie and TAA for Robbo plus my bench is slightly different

    3. BlzE_94
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 15 days ago

      Are you confident Arnie will start?

  13. Big Al Stankovic
    • 11 Years
    5 years, 15 days ago

    B’mouth or Leicester defenders for gw31 and gw33?

    Leicester have more offensive qualities, but b’mouth probably the better fixtures.

    1. Tsparkes10
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 15 days ago

      Ake.

      1. Hy liverpool
        • 10 Years
        5 years, 15 days ago

        This

  14. i am jose mourinho
    • 5 Years
    5 years, 15 days ago

    Will arnie play this gw ?

    1. Hy liverpool
      • 10 Years
      5 years, 15 days ago

      Yep

    2. Kiwivillan
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 15 days ago

      If people knew they would get him but only Pellegrini knows

  15. Stimps
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    5 years, 15 days ago

    Good to go -4? No WC, but all other chips in tact

    Fab
    Periera Robbo Luiz
    Salah (c) Mane Hazard Brooks
    Vardy Barnes King

    Guaita Pogba Kola AWB

    1. Tsparkes10
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 15 days ago

      Ya

  16. Tsparkes10
    • 5 Years
    5 years, 15 days ago

    Can't decide between Ake, Maddison or King for 31 and 33. Have Vardy, Wilson, Fraser already

    1. Astronautovic
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 15 days ago

      Mad imo

      1. Tsparkes10
        • 5 Years
        5 years, 15 days ago

        Hahaha had to read that a few times... Thought you meant you were mad

        1. Astronautovic
          • 8 Years
          5 years, 15 days ago

          Haha I didn't want to confuse you. All 3 are good options. Still i would lean towards Maddison.

          1. Tsparkes10
            • 5 Years
            5 years, 15 days ago

            Cheers. King, Fraser and Wilson feels too much but feels that secures me points? Ake I like as a dark horse and Madisson on set pieces and improving. Tricky

            1. EMBOLOFAN
              • 5 Years
              5 years, 15 days ago

              still think madds. bou have defenders out and result of that in their defence is unknown. if in doubt defer to ppg - madds beating ake

    2. Peter Ouch
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 15 days ago

      Mads

  17. Astronautovic
    • 8 Years
    5 years, 15 days ago

    Should I take a hit to bring in wilson for Jim and play him instead of solanke?

    1. Peter Ouch
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 15 days ago

      Yes

      1. Astronautovic
        • 8 Years
        5 years, 15 days ago

        Thanks peter

  18. Ronnies
    • 8 Years
    5 years, 15 days ago

    Best pick:

    a) play westwood

    b) -4 for pogba >> fraser

    Thanks guys

    1. Peter Ouch
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 15 days ago

      B if you don't pogs back if you have value on him cause he won't be playing in the 33

    2. EMBOLOFAN
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 15 days ago

      a if already have 11

  19. Cilly Bonnolly
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    5 years, 15 days ago

    Salah triple captain against that Fulham defence is so tempting.

    1. Tsparkes10
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 15 days ago

      Nope

    2. Peter Ouch
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 15 days ago

      Indeed don't see any other player having such a lovely fixture till the end

      1. Pierce34
        • 8 Years
        5 years, 15 days ago

        Mane does. 😉

    3. AuFeld
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 15 days ago

      I wouldn't TC anyone at an away match.

      1. Cilly Bonnolly
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        5 years, 15 days ago

        He scored a hat-trick away to Bournemouth in gameweek 16.

        1. Peter Ouch
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 5 Years
          5 years, 15 days ago

          Out of the blue.
          Sure he can do it again

          1. AuFeld
            • 7 Years
            5 years, 15 days ago

            Hat-tricks at away matches aren't a norm?

      2. EMBOLOFAN
        • 5 Years
        5 years, 15 days ago

        fulham home defensive record almost identical to hudds home, which is the other option

        1. EMBOLOFAN
          • 5 Years
          5 years, 15 days ago

          hudds away*

  20. UpAndAway
    • 10 Years
    5 years, 15 days ago

    Can get to 9 this GW with 2 FT. No Vardy.

    Worth taking a hit for a defender? More than likely Adam Smith to Clyne or Daniels.

    1. Tsparkes10
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 15 days ago

      I'd take 2 for 11... What's team?

      1. UpAndAway
        • 10 Years
        5 years, 15 days ago

        Fab
        Robbo, Pereira
        Mane, Salah, Hazard
        Barnes

        Looking at Pogba to Madd and Hojbjerg to Fraser.

        Also have Docherty, A. Smith, Jiminez, AWB and Aguero.

        1. Tsparkes10
          • 5 Years
          5 years, 15 days ago

          Them 2 and Aguero to Vardy imo if FH in 32

  21. dunas_dog
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years
    5 years, 15 days ago

    I know Lascelles and Higuaín potentially risks but assuming they are on wmidfielder would you get in for Sterling to get 11 playing ? Cannot be Liverpool or Bournemouth. Would be for -4

    Boruc
    TAA Lascelles Van Dijk
    Salah (c) Hazard Brooks *******
    Vardy Huguain Wilson

    1. Tsparkes10
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 15 days ago

      Madisson

    2. Peter Ouch
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 15 days ago

      Same dilemma
      My team is identical to yours except from brooks
      Having Anderson and almiron.

      So if I do pogs to haz I will have to bench one of those if hig and lasc fit.

      Definitely dont want pogba back

  22. BlzE_94
    • 9 Years
    5 years, 15 days ago

    Anyone using the triple captain chip on a United player in gw32?

    1. AuFeld
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 15 days ago

      A lot of free hitters that week. Could be a good move.

    2. Tsparkes10
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 15 days ago

      I'd use on Aguero, Sterling or Lukaku if I had option to

  23. tbhogal
    • 14 Years
    5 years, 15 days ago

    FH or not guys? ML leader 47 points ahead has played his one. Have 7 BGW players and 1FT..

    FAB (Hamer)
    ROBBO, TAA, DIGNE (Bennett, awb).
    Pogba, Son, SALAH, ANDERSON (Hojberg).
    RONDON, Aguero, Jimenez..

    1. Tsparkes10
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 15 days ago

      No. Son, Pogba, Aguero to Wilson, Maddison, Hazard. FH 32. That way you have 10 for 31 and 33. And can triple on City, Chelsea and United possibly in 32 where he will struggle to get anywhere close

    2. Kiwivillan
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 15 days ago

      Waste of FH

  24. Tsparkes10
    • 5 Years
    5 years, 15 days ago

    I tend to start asking questions regarding GW 35 chip strategy for example but then realise its far away and no point asking now. Time for bed. Gnight

    1. Hy liverpool
      • 10 Years
      5 years, 15 days ago

      I'm not good in using chips... So i'm going to copy someone's team.

      1. Tsparkes10
        • 5 Years
        5 years, 15 days ago

        Sounds fun

        1. Hy liverpool
          • 10 Years
          5 years, 15 days ago

          The question is who is this person? Lol

  25. Hy liverpool
    • 10 Years
    5 years, 15 days ago

    Head says Wilson Lanzini
    Heart says Arnie fraser

    Fuc my head

    1. Pierce34
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 15 days ago

      Both are wrong anyway 😛

      1. Hy liverpool
        • 10 Years
        5 years, 15 days ago

        So go with my dic Wilson and Fraser?
        Don’t wanna triple up on bournemouth attack as i have josh

        1. Tsparkes10
          • 5 Years
          5 years, 15 days ago

          Triple Bourne could bang.

        2. Pierce34
          • 8 Years
          5 years, 15 days ago

          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.

          1. EMBOLOFAN
            • 5 Years
            5 years, 15 days ago

            i cant

    2. jjandellis
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 15 days ago

      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...

    3. EMBOLOFAN
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 15 days ago

      wilson fraser

    4. Hy liverpool
      • 10 Years

      Cheers all

  26. Park the bus
    • 12 Years
    5 years, 15 days ago

    Free hit active. Best combo:

    A. Fraser and Arnie
    B. Anderson and Rondon

    Have got Wilson

    1. Hy liverpool
      • 10 Years
      5 years, 15 days ago

      A all day long

    2. Party time

        Long run A to me

        1. Party time
            5 years, 15 days ago

            Free hit still A to me

      • jjandellis
        • 7 Years
        5 years, 15 days ago

        Thoughts please:

        Fabianski
        TAA / Rice / Azpi

                  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

              Watching 'After life' on Netflix.
              It got mixed reviews but I think its great tbf.

                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?

                  Not much does come close to that
