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.

    Check out the insane productivity of Wilson & his best FPL buddy Fraser:

    Last 21 games starting together:

    - Kun & Sterling = 42 attacking returns
    - Fraser & Wilson = 36 attacking returns

    Newcastle minus Schär/Lascelles tomorrow *should* be profitable

    1. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
      • 14 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      *today!

      Thinking about tripling up, got king and brooks and tempted to do jimenez>Wilson for a hit. Bournemouth home to burnley in gw 33 is also a positive factor

      1. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
        • 14 Years
        5 years, 1 month ago

        I don’t think it has really hit home for folks just how good Fraser/Wilson are for FPL - they are generating elite level returns for 12.0 of budget

        1. drughi
          • 14 Years
          5 years, 1 month ago

          agree, made my bed when I got brooks and king but fraser and Wilson are top picks

          1. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
            • 14 Years
            5 years, 1 month ago

            At least we know now that Wilson is the key ingredient for Fraser... even if they are 7.5/8.0 next season i’d Still get both as long as they are both fit

    3. JustPark
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Cheers. Contemplating between Fraser in for free or Hazard for a hit.

      1. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
        • 14 Years
        5 years, 1 month ago

        If you can’t field 11 I’d do both of those moves

        1. JustPark
          • 8 Years
          5 years, 1 month ago

          Got 8 now and Brook. Either it'll be 9 or 10 with a hit.

          1. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
            • 14 Years
            5 years, 1 month ago

            The Haz hit breaks even then as long as he gets 4 appearance points in 31/33, get it done 🙂

    4. Mr Q
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Worth to go fraser? Despite the slight doubt?

      1. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
        • 14 Years
        5 years, 1 month ago

        Unfortunately in one or two gameweeks anything could happen, Fraser could easily play and blank or underperform

        But no denying he is a different beast when Wilson is on the pitch

        1. Mr Q
          • 8 Years
          5 years, 1 month ago

          Yeah, i want him in.. but hate the risk of him not playing

  2. Feed tha Sheep
    • 11 Years
    5 years, 1 month ago

    Sterling > Hazard worth a -4? (FH next GW)

    1. _Ninja_
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Yeah i would

    2. drughi
      • 14 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      yeah

    3. Afghanistanislas
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      I made the same move, should pay itself back over GW 31 + 33

      1. Feed tha Sheep
        • 11 Years
        5 years, 1 month ago

        Yeah that was my thinking. I also did Jimi > Wilson (-4) but again should pay off over 2GWs

  3. Afghanistanislas
    • 6 Years
    5 years, 1 month ago

    Which defender would you rather have for GW 31 + 33:

    A) Maguire/Pereira
    B) Emerson
    C) Ake
    D) Rice

    1. Bronski
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      B

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

      A or C. No guarantee Emerson plays both, unfortunately. The LB spot is still being rotated.

  4. ChickenTikkaMoSalah
    • 8 Years
    5 years, 1 month ago

    Mane holding his ankle after the Bayern game combined with him not being in training makes it obvious for me that he won’t start.

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

      I am waiting for any news before 2pm

      1. Team Cruel
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        5 years, 1 month ago

        What news are you expecting before that time?

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

          Usual a leak or another training session today as they play Sun

  5. Slippy
    • 7 Years
    5 years, 1 month ago

    Got the (c) on Wilson....

    Mad?

    1. Bubbles1985
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Me too!
      Not sure whether to switch to Anderson??

      1. JustPark
        • 8 Years
        5 years, 1 month ago

        That's beyond maverick. Log out now.

        1. n14mul
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 6 Years
          5 years, 1 month ago

          Agree

      2. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
        • 14 Years
        5 years, 1 month ago

        Anderson in for FT instead of Aiggy, Rich, Maddo, Barnes of Lanzini is my gamble for the week

        Captaining him seems to be some next level maverickism

        1. Bubbles1985
          • 7 Years
          5 years, 1 month ago

          I think Anderson will explode this week... 🙂

    2. Eytexi
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Might be about to join you

  6. Bubbles1985
    • 7 Years
    5 years, 1 month ago

    Fab
    Robertson Luiz Digne
    Mane Almiron Anderson(vc) Lanzini
    Vardy Firmino Wilson(c)

    Button Sterling WanB Doherty

    I have 0.7m itb and 0ft...

    No hits taken!
    Captain Wilson or Anderson???

    1. Slippy
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      see above - Wilson!

      1. Bubbles1985
        • 7 Years
        5 years, 1 month ago

        Just have haha!

    2. _Ninja_
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Wilson with Vardy vc.

      Definitely not Anderson

  7. RubberDucky
      5 years, 1 month ago

        1. RubberDucky
            5 years, 1 month ago

            Thanks, 3 def, Fabs and Salah!
            Only 1 FT

          • 8 Years
          5 years, 1 month ago

              5 years, 1 month ago

              5 years, 1 month ago

              Yeh agree FH may be better.

              1. RubberDucky
                  5 years, 1 month ago

                  Thanks

                And the cash. Won't gave any of that for at least 18 years, trust me!

                Congratulations, though. It is the best thing ever. Or at least as good as a successful wildcard.

              5 years, 1 month ago

              Salah TC makes sense right? Top points scorer in FPL this season against the worst defence in the league in fulham

              Sure he's not in the best of form. But atleast he's getting chances. (most shots inside box for any player in last 4 away matches)

              People say HUD in gw36 is better but i dont think so. 4 days before semi 1st leg. even if salah plays there could be rotation elsewhere resulting in a 1 or 2 nil scoreline.

              1. Rinseboy
                • 12 Years
                5 years, 1 month ago

                agreed. I'm chasing and not free hitting this week so am just gonna do it! never get much from the chip anyway so gonna risk it

                1. HurriKane
                  • 11 Years
                  5 years, 1 month ago

                  Yh plus who knows come hud game salah or firmino/mane might be injured weakening the squad , liv might be out of title race losing motivation, thus cl being biggest priority klopp might roll out a weaker team

              bring in fraser or maddison?

                • 7 Years

                Fraser

            • UnitednationsXI
              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • 12 Years
              5 years, 1 month ago

              Couple of quick questions

              1) worth still getting mane? Any update on his injury rumours?

              2) Which two from these do you think will score the most points in gw31/33:
              A) Robbo
              B) Fraser
              C) Maddison
              D) Lanzini
              E) Vardy
              F) Wilson
              G) Arnie

              Bearing in mind I already have King and getting two forwards mean I have to loose 0.2m on Jimenez.

              I am leaning towards Maddison and Wilson

                • 10 Years
                5 years, 1 month ago

                1. Personally no mention in press confrences I think he will start

                2.F

              2. Bronski
                • Fantasy Football Scout Member
                • 5 Years
                5 years, 1 month ago

                1. Probably will get 60 mins then taken off so no internationals next week.
                2 Robbo and Wilson

            • Harmonica1967
              • 6 Years
              5 years, 1 month ago

              On free hit:

              A). Arnie and Westwood
              B). Siggy and crouch

              Second options obviously riding the bench

              Captain?
              A) Mané.
              B) Hazard.
              C) Vardy.
              D) Wilson.

                Mane

                  • 5 Years
                  5 years, 1 month ago

                  That’s tough... strong arguments for all 4

                  Mane springs to mind first out of them all though, but this injury business is a pain for owners

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

                    Been on Mané all week but fearing a 1 point cameo. Who's your pick of the other three?

                      • 14 Years

                      Normally it would probably be Haz....

                      But newcastle’s Situation might just favour Wilson

                Doherty to Rice? Gets me 11 out for a -8 in total and will cost me 0.4 to get him back next week.

                  I’d do it , I don’t really pay any attention to TV. Points over cash

                    -8 all in! Not too concerned about overall rank. Top of all my mini leagues so just having some fun now and chasing hopefully a big score!

                  Guessing that if he doesn’t start he won’t be involved at all

                  If i owned salah i wouldnt even consider taking the risk of a Mané cameo.

                Who's your first name out on FH next week?

                Fanderson for me. Can't wait!

                  I think I don't need both Mané and Salah for GW32 so one of them needs to go.

                  I’ve somehow managed to hold Balbuena through the whole time he’s been out.

                  I’ve gone for A

                    Thanks. That's what I'm thinking too because of the yellow flag on Higuaín.

                • 12 Years
                5 years, 1 month ago

                A or B?
                A) D Luiz
                B) Fraser
                Already have Hazard and Wilson

                1. Tom Heat-is-on
                  • 7 Years
                  5 years, 1 month ago

                  Yellow flag on Fraser and I wouldn't risk it, so A.

                5 years, 1 month ago

                On a -4 but should get ar least 10 out. G2G?

                Fabianski
                Robbo Pereira Digne
                Salah (C) Mane Hazard Anderson
                Wilson Rondon King

                1. SALVA
                  • 9 Years
                  5 years, 1 month ago

                  Very similar to mine and yeah it looks good! Not considering to TC Salah?

                5 years, 1 month ago

                Still have all the chips left (including wildcard).
                I have 7 players this week with 1FT.

                Thinking:
                - -4/-8 this week
                - FH32
                - WC33/34

                When would the wildcard be best to use?

                1. Tom Heat-is-on
                  • 7 Years
                  5 years, 1 month ago

                  WC on GW34 so you can bench boost on DGW35

              19. Bagheri Arce
                • Fantasy Football Scout Member
                • 8 Years
                5 years, 1 month ago

                Anyone on 10 players taking a hit?

                Will have a ft in GW33 to get 11 out so only really 1 game profit. Although nice to have extra in case on injury/benching as GW33 is a long way away

                1. XabiAlonso
                  • 8 Years
                  5 years, 1 month ago

                  I had 10 then took a hit to get Fraser in as 11th man

                2. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
                  • 14 Years
                  5 years, 1 month ago

                  Yep, 10 men for free, so took a hit to get the 11th (Felipe)

                3. Team Cruel
                  • Fantasy Football Scout Member
                  • 8 Years
                  5 years, 1 month ago

                  I have 6 players and taking a -12 to get 11.

                  Every hit is basically a -2 this week as long as you get in players that are expected to play 60+ mins.

                  5 years, 1 month ago

                  Thinking of removing AWB for a hit. Will wait till 2 pm, see how they do v Watford. Got only 4,5 to spend though.

                What's riskier for this GW- keep mane with no Salah/ bring in Salah and have no mane
