Rest assured, however, that our educated guesses are at least as educated as they are guessed.

We ought to mention that our Fantasy Football tips are based on the Fantasy Premier League version of the game, although the principles should apply more or less across the board.

Fantasy Football Tips Gameweek 31: Goalkeepers and Defenders

Ten teams play twice in Gameweek 31, so this is a golden opportunity to make up lost ground.

Those ten teams are:

Arsenal, Everton, Hull City, Liverpool, Manchester City, Manchester United, Newcastle United, Sunderland, Swansea City and West Ham United.

Now, Swansea are away to Everton and Arsenal, so you probably ought to count them out.

Newcastle and West Ham both have two home games apiece – the Magpies take on Crystal Palace and Everton, the Hammers face Manchester United and Hull.

You’d have to fancy a clean sheet or two between them, so you might like to peruse the various bargains on offer amongst them.

For their own part, Everton could enjoy a fruitful Gameweek 31 at home to Swansea and away to Newcastle, especially with Seamus Coleman back amongst the goals and Leighton Baines on set-piece duties.

City could conceivably keep two clean sheets out of two at home to Fulham and away to United – after all, Liverpool just kept a clean sheet at Old Trafford, so perhaps they can repeat the trick away to Cardiff City and/or at home to Sunderland.

Plenty for you to mull over, there. Just remember to double up wherever possible – your rivals might not have the foresight!
