The best forwards 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 concludes with a look at Fantasy Premier League forwards.

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 budget defender for 31 and 33?

    Clyne?

    1. McEwan
      • 14 Years
      5 years, 5 days ago

      How cheap you looking? He set to play both? Seen he wasnt fully involved last gw

    2. Hazz
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 5 days ago

      Only if Adam Smith doesn't return for GW33 and bench him again.

      1. Hazz
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 6 Years
        5 years, 5 days ago

        Note: Smith could start, with Clyne still being involved. (Smith can play on either side).

        I'd sy Clyne is not guaranteed to start both, but has more than a decent chance.

    For BGWs:

    1. Rondon [bou + CRY]
    2. Barnes [LEI + bou]

    Thanks

    1. the Penman
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      5 years, 5 days ago

      It’s my dilemma. Leaning to Barnes just now, he’s in a more potent team.

  4. McEwan
    • 14 Years
    5 years, 5 days ago

    Hopefully tick this gw off level par and move on to the next one. Good luck all

    1. Longlatini
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 5 days ago

      Hope so, good luck

    TC Salah or Mane anyone?

    1. Cookie Kid
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 5 days ago

      Yes please Salah for me

    2. McEwan
      • 14 Years
      5 years, 5 days ago

      No danger for me. And I wouldn’t if I was you. Wait till you get a standout candidate, fact your split between two makes the chances of it going wrong higher

      1. g40steve
        • 6 Years
        5 years, 5 days ago

        No better week for me, BB 35, CL wk 36

        Anything is better than Kane last year 3 🙁

        1. McEwan
          • 14 Years
          5 years, 5 days ago

          Fair play, seems your clear in your mind of who your doing it with. If you have to ask the question between 2 candidates, it’s not a good position to be in. Gw38 is ripe for it personally but each to their own, bound to be better than Kane but wouldn’t use that as the yardstick. Good luck.

          1. g40steve
            • 6 Years
            5 years, 5 days ago

            Luck plays a big part 😉
            I had Sanchez year before, 75 point heaven!

    3. g40steve
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 5 days ago

      On Mane until tomorrow & any updates.

  6. GlasgowFF
    • 12 Years

    What's the template for using chips and WC if you have all left?

    1. the Penman
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      5 years, 5 days ago

      One template is FH32, WC34, BB35, hold TC for a good single week or pray ageless land another Double with Brighton.

      1. the Penman
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        5 years, 5 days ago

        *Ageless = Chelsea

    2. McEwan
      • 14 Years
      5 years, 5 days ago

      Is there a template?

      Fwiw, im ok this gw. Will either free hit or wildcard gw32 and work round them from there. Bb 35 or something, tc 38

  7. g40steve
    • 6 Years
    5 years, 5 days ago

    Fabs
    Trent, Pereira, Luiz, LASCELLES
    TC Mane, Salah, Maddison, Brooks
    Vardy, Wilson

    Boruc, Aguero, Doherty, Pogba

    FH32, WC34

    .8 itb

    Already on -4 would you do -8 to remove Lascelles?

    Suggestions please?

    1. the Penman
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      5 years, 5 days ago

      Nah. He won’t repay you, and miiiiiight still play 33 (if Palace beat Watford)

      1. Mo Mané Mo Problems
        • 9 Years
        5 years, 5 days ago

        Isn’t it the other way round? Ie Watford beat Palace? So new-palace is on?

        1. g40steve
          • 6 Years
          5 years, 5 days ago

          It cannot be Bournemouth already have three, WHU have horrid run, who else ???

  8. the Penman
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    5 years, 5 days ago

    Rondon or Barnes?

    What about Rondon or Barnes (-4)?

    (FH32, WC34, so it’s just for 31&33)

    Should I keep Newcastle’s main man or ship for the Barnes train?

    1. tucaoneo
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 5 days ago

      Barnes. Rondon may blank in 33.

  9. tucaoneo
    • 5 Years
    5 years, 5 days ago

    This TC fever really escalated quickly...

    1. g40steve
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 5 days ago

      Some mentioned it last week.

  10. FDMS All Starz
    • 8 Years
    5 years, 5 days ago

    Which option is better?

    A) Wilson - Antonio - Fraser - Allison (-4)

    Or

    B) Wilson - Mane - Arnie - Fabianski (-8)

  11. Eytexi
    • 5 Years
    5 years, 5 days ago

    King to Wilson or burn a transfer?

    1. Sleep Talk
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      5 years, 5 days ago

      Yes. Go ahead.

  12. J to the T
    • 7 Years
    5 years, 5 days ago

    On a FH
    How’s this looking?

    Fab
    TAA Rice Luiz
    Salah(c) Mane Fraser Haz
    Wilson Vardy Higuain

    Lossyl / Chilwell Daniels Hayden

    Alternatively swap Higuain and TAA to Arnie and Robertson?

    1. Eytexi
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 5 days ago

      Personally would make that swap.

    2. El Platano
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 5 days ago

      Looks good!

  13. Sleep Talk
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    5 years, 5 days ago

    Higuain or Vardy? Budget doesnt matter.

    1. the Penman
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      5 years, 5 days ago

      Vardy.

  14. HD7
    • 7 Years
    5 years, 5 days ago

    If you have all the chips, Best time for TC?

    A) Fulham vs Liverpool
    B) Liverpool vs Hudds (however its right before CL semi-final)
    C) Hope for a 3rd DGW to be established?

    1. the Penman
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      5 years, 5 days ago

      Assuming Liverpool make it through the CL quarters, go for C.

    2. Hazz
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 5 days ago

      What would it take for a 3rd DGW to be established? (Unless this is DGW35 you are talking about.)

    3. tucaoneo
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 5 days ago

      No chance for an extra DGW for the big six according to Crellin.

      1. HD7
        • 7 Years
        5 years, 5 days ago

        Any chance Chelsea get their own DGW?

        1. tucaoneo
          • 5 Years
          5 years, 5 days ago

          They're probably going to play BHA in DGW 32. No extra match to blank (and then double) at this point because they are out of the FA Cup.

  15. Lionel Ronaldo
    • 8 Years
    5 years, 5 days ago

    Fun fact: the almighty Ryan Fraser is 1.63m high.

    1. Eytexi
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 5 days ago

      Standing at 166cm this has made my day.

    Guaita Jimenez Sterling Pogba AWB Bednarek

    5 years, 5 days ago

    Current defence:
    Azpi, Luiz, VVD

    Have Rice on the bench. Could he come on for anyone?

  22. Tmel
    • 13 Years
    5 years, 5 days ago

    Boruc
    Rice TAA Robertson
    Fanderson Salah Almiron Haz
    Vardy Wilson

    Have taken a - 4 to field 10... Would you do either:

    b) Jimenez > Barnes (-4)

  23. myteamissheeeeeeeet
    • 14 Years
    5 years, 5 days ago

    Sorry! Been away all week.

    I have all the chips and 9/10 playing with Higgy. What’s the plan with the chips? I might free hit for this one or shall I wait a week? Cheers

    1. g40steve
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 5 days ago

      Why FH if 9 or 10 playing?

    2. asquishypotato
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      5 years, 5 days ago

      No need to free hit if you’ve got that many. Likely you have several pool so that’s really only fixture worth anything.

  24. Tommy Tynans Left Shin Pad
    • 12 Years
    5 years, 5 days ago

    What a muppet. Brought in Lewis Dunk as he has Southampton. Next flipping week. - 8 too and now I still only have 10 players. Do I - 12 it? Or should I just WC? Planning FH next week

  25. OptimusBlack
    • 10 Years
    5 years, 5 days ago

    Salah TC ?
    YAAAAAY
    NOPE

  26. Transferred Out
    • 6 Years
    5 years, 5 days ago

    Guaita or Foster to Boruc ? Worth the -4 ?

  27. asquishypotato
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    5 years, 5 days ago

    Luiz or Azpi?

    Money not an issue, genuinely can’t decide over assist vs goal potential.

  28. Hazardous1983
    • 13 Years
    5 years, 5 days ago

    Fab (guaita)
    Robbo awb perreria (doherty bednarek)
    Salah mane pogba maddison (hojberg)

  29. HD7
    • 7 Years
    5 years, 5 days ago

    How many hits did you take and how many players do you have for GW 31?

    Me: -4 this GW but I think I used 4 or 8pts additional few GWs ago on the road of bulding the team.
    11 players on the board hopefully.

    1. Firminooooo
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 5 days ago

      No hits, 11 players. F. Anderson, Snodgrass, Pereira, Higuain...and more shiiite
