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.

    Does Wilson for Higuain for -4 worth it (giving the fact the Higuain has been ill and may not be in the best condition)?
    Note: I already have 11 starting players for that GW without Free hit and will not use it.

      If you already have King probably not, I think. That double up on Bournemouth attack can be beneficial for that GW, but may leave you with weakness for the future and burn your free transfer to repair the things.

      Its not a bad team but do you really see Higuain as a better option than Vardy?

      It's a really hard one between the three of them:

      Over the last 5:
      Chances created: Maddison 24 vs. Tielemans 8 vs. Barnes 7
      Shots inside box: Maddison 2 vs. Tielemans 4 vs. Barnes 15
      Shots on target: Maddison 1 vs. Tielemans 6 vs. Barnes 3

      It feels like Madds gets you a decent chance of an assist or 2 due to the set pieces, while Barnes has got the highest goalscoring potential due to the touches and shots in the box being far higher than the others (but issue is most of hit shots aren't hitting the target). Tielemans seems to be a middle ground. Thoughts?!

      I'm tempted to bring in Vardy-4 and bench Pereira this week. Means I'll have 1 bench player just in case Trent or Anderson are benched, I'll also be able to sell Anderson for GW33 for a better asset. I dont really see a CS for Leicester. Be typical of Pereira to get some attacking returns this week though after nothing for ages.

        Wouldn't call Bayern post-Guardiola a difficult draw - many stronger teams in the comp.

        You can't avoid a big team in the Group Stage if you're not the in Pot 1 so that's irrelevant imo.

        Liverpool deserve plenty of credit nevertheless for how well they've done. Liverpool v City final is what I predict.

      Hope so, that's basically my team. Only difference is Pereira and Chambers.

      Nice mate. Considering Salah TC myself can I ask why you think this is the best option between now and end of season?

    Really struggling with my transfers this week. Normally I’d be looking at the next 6 weeks or so, but it’s weird picking for just 2 matches. And no real price constraints either as I’m getting rid of Kun and looking at Wilson, etc.

    Hi Guys,
    People have been talking up Leicester's midfield assets in Maddison and Barnes for this GW. What's your thoughts on Tielemans? I feel that he's been overlooked and I'm going to include him in my team this week.
    Thanks. M
