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.

        Thanks. That was my first choice. Just wondered if Burnley would keep Leicester down to 1 goal though.
        Would have a transfer in 33 for Vardy . Probably just overthinking it.

        Yeh. I like Wilson more than Vardy this week but King could do better on the day.
        I’m trying to stay away from players my ML leader has. Hence no Mane and Maddison.
        Salah(c) May be template but he doesn’t own him.

    Is Schar to Pereira for a -4 worth it or should I just field 10 starting players?

      GW31: -4 + 1 = -3
