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.

    Anyone on FH this week wondering what to do about Mane? I'm thinking of dropping Mane for a cheaper mid and then use the cash to bring in Firmino
    Is this:
    A. Stoopid

    Wolves/United quarter final is important . If Wolves get through their wk32 double game week becomes single in fantasy terms as there is no chance they will field the first team against United in the league.

      How many GW31 players have you got? I'm not convinced that Chelsea are going to keep a CS this week. If you didn't take a hit and just fielded AWB, you're effectively receiving 4pts from him straight away and he's got a chance to play in GW33. Plus you'll have a FT ahead of GW33 to possibly remove him if he doesn't have a fixture.

      So no imo.

        I have ten players.

        Assuming that WB does not play in either and Emerson plays in both but doesn’t get any cleans, then I have made my hit back?

        One clean will put me in profit?

        I guess the risk is if Emerson gets rotated with Alonso. Difficult.

      Why not sell Aguero? He's unlikely to play in GW33 so picking another striker who's guaranteed a GW31 and GW33 90 minutes repays that -4pts straight away. Then hopefully you'll add a couple of goals on top of that.

      I think if you lose say 0.2/0.3 on Aguero, it's not that bad and right now the focus should be on points rather than building or maintaining value.

      I'd personally go Arnie or Higuain or possibly even King due to GW33 fixture as well.
