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.

    For GW31 and GW33 (given FH32 and WC34) , which of the following moves would you rather recommend for a -4:

    A) Jota/Shaw > Fraser/Robertson
    B) Son/Doherty > Hazard/VVD

    Don't have too much value (at most 0.2) tied up in any of the players, so that's not a concern in any case.

        Luiz, in my opinion. Maguire is a trap (owned him far too long last season), Luiz is "Plan B" (Sarri uses him as a way to reach the attackers when Jorginho is marked out).

              It's my risky one... but I think it could pay big dividends if he starts at home to a terrible Huddersfield.

              Had a look at the West Ham fans forum and they all think that he will be brought back in for this one. Apparently Chicarito was terrible last weekend. Also, Pelligrini's comments sounded positive.

            With Shaqiri, Origi and even Lallana to cover Mane, there's no need for Liverpool to risk Mane (even in a title race) against a Fulham team they'll easily brush aside without him. If he hasn't trained this close to the match, I can't see him playing. It's a shame as I own him and fully intended to captain him.

            I found an article prior to the Chelsea vs Liverpool game 6 months ago, where Sadio Mane missed a Thursday training session after a Champions League game and went on to complete the full 90 minutes in this Saturday fixture.

            While certainly not proof he will be ok to play after missing training this week, it does provide evidence that he can still play 90 minutes at the weekend after missing a training session following a Champions League game.

              Chelsea do have a busy schedule and Luiz has been know to get a rest when they have games close together. You may be ok and get him for both the blank game weeks but there's no doubt Azpi is more secure.

                Personally I think spending that much on Higuain with doubts about illness as well as Giroud's hat trick in mid week is too much of a risk.

                I prefer a lower priced risk in Arnautovic.

                  I agree, to a certain extent, but the stats don´t lie.

                    It's planning like that which means that I've owned Pereira for weeks....

              Team for 31 and 33:

              Fab
              TAA Digne VVD
              Salah Haz Felipe A Fraser
              Wilson Vardy

              Who for 11th? Price or money isn't a problem. Arni a punt but don't like 33 fixture, not keen on Chelsea defender and dunno whether triple Bourne is stupid. Hmmm 🙂

              Why are people looking to FH gw32 rather than this gw?

              Only dgw is wolves vs man utd

                  Really don't know. I haven't been following much this year.

                  Reading back a few comments yet still unsure

                DGW hasn't been decided yet. and bgw 31 and 33 are involving a lot of the same teams.

              Think my FH is ready.

              Fab
              VVD Azpi Chilwell
              Mane Salah Haz Maddison
              Vardy Wilson(C) Arnie

              A punt on Wilson worked out for me last week so hoping for the same from Arnie. He’s due a haul and West Ham need that home win.

                Is there any reason not to activate the Free Hit chip after the deadline tomorrow? It's not as if you shpuld be using it in another GW, right?
