Pras and Andy’s FPL Gameweek 31 preview and team reveals

Andy North and Pras combine again in another exclusive video for Premium Members of Fantasy Football Scout.

The pair will be chatting over on our YouTube channel about their own Gameweek 31 teams and the chip strategies being deployed within the Fantasy Premier League (FPL) community.

Will the pair be keeping or selling the injured pair of Marcus Rashford (£7.2m) and Luke Shaw (£5.1m)? Are they joining the 500,000 others that have already bought Jack Grealish (£7.1m) this week?

With Blank Gameweek 32 on the way, plans for these three players largely depend on whether a manager intends to activate their Free Hit chip.

Andy and Pras are live from 20:45 BST, with the stream watchable via the embedded video below.

And if you’ve missed the start or indeed the whole of the live broadcast, you can of course still watch the stream back from the start in its entirety.

Only Premium Members of Fantasy Football Scout will be able to watch the video below, so make sure you sign up today to get access to not just this stream but also exclusive YouTube content from Andy, Mark and others throughout the 2022/23 campaign.

      What about Porro to Newcastle defender to cover their double in 36 and save making a transfer later

        Yeah that’s an option, might do that down the line, I like the idea of Porro as he’s low owed and I think he’s a good player

          Yup sure. Just a suggestion to save a transfer later and have the player in place now. Also means you could play March this GW if you fancied Brighton attack against Chelsea

      Wildcard looks fine but seems a missed opportunity not to set yourself up for GW32 blank now and then save the FH for GW34 or GW37 (I have also wildcarded this week and still have FH).

        Interesting. What’s your wildcard looking like?

        At the moment I’m thinking there’s upside in FH32 with good fixtures for Arsenal and Liverpool to maximise

          This is mine - have already picked up Arsenal and Liverpool for their good fixtures this week and they are then in place for GW32. Mahrez and Andreas likely to both become Brighton miss by GW34.

    RP - ETH said there were 2 training sessions left between the presser yesterday and the game at the weekend. Shaw was not seen in the training session yesterday so I think I'll bench him.

    Given Arsenal are the only side managing more than 33% rate for clean sheets away from home, surely we should prioritise attacking returns when selecting from our defenders who are away.

    In which case Chilwell, Trippier, Shaw and bench Estupinan and Botman in order seems best bet, right?

      I'm not really that keen on Bruno at the moment & have brought in Salah for Leeds, so leaning A. Only thing is it seems like maybe not the most efficient move to have Olise for only 2 weeks before selling again. Suppose there's no way to get Salah & Grealish now?

      With a FH you can't build up 2FT unless you roll in 33. So for most a hit is pretty likely to get Salah (or wait until his next three good fixtures are done). If that applies to you then maybe A is the right call now

          Yeah you can, but then you miss Salah Vs Leeds and West Ham albeit both are away. Plus you might have other moves to make for the doubles by then. Just saying there could be a logic for your A move

            Think we cross wire a bit here, if I did A then I will save FT 33 because 33 look stronger with Salah (whu) and Olise (wol) over Bruno (tot) and Grealish (ARS) and 34 is more open with 2FT.

            If B then probably I will take a hit 33 to get Salah in and Kane (MUN) out.

            Anyway, thanks for the input - leaning towards A with risks 😛

      Probably because most don’t have wc left and Mahrez is a transfer waiting to happen

      Grealish more nailed, although when Foden comes back he won't be

    If I have two free transfers but want to free hit next week, do I need to use two this week? I’ll get one next week but do you get a free transfer after free hitting?

    A) Save FT, bench Rashford, play Mitoma+March
    B) Get Martinelli in for Rashford/March and play him.

    Fat Frank has come out of every job looking less and less competent every time, but this temporary post at Chelsea might actually finish him.

    There’s been literally no improvement (as there was in his stint at Everton) and if these dismal performances continue he’ll likely land up at BT Sport in the future.

    Starting XI and bench order right here? Trippier, Schar and Watkins feels problematic

    Still don’t know what to do with my 1FT (0.0ITB)… Chilwell to Ake?

    Raya
    Trippier Schar Chilwell
    Bruno Saka Mitoma March
    Haaland Kane Watkins

    Kepa Estupinan Pinnock Rashford

      Estupinan and Pinnock would be ahead of Schär for me. Villa is a tough fixture for a CS now
