Things are starting to get real in the Premier League. Southampton could have their relegation to the Championship confirmed on Sunday night, Liverpool could wrap up their title bid by the end of the month, and FPL managers are gearing for Double Gameweek 32 and 33.
Gameweek 31’s deadline is Saturday at 6pm Hong Kong time, so we’ve put together a handy guide on how to handle this weekend and the crucial closing stages of the season.
Gameweek 31 tips
Gameweek 31 could be a high-scoring affair as managers can load their teams with popular FPL picks who are facing the three promoted sides.
A triple-up on Newcastle players is a popular choice, given they face Leicester before games against Manchester United and Crystal Palace in Gameweek 32.
Nick Pope (£4.9m), Jacob Murphy (£5.0m) and Alexander Isak (£9.5m) are the best picks, but Kieran Trippier (£5.6m) could be a great differential. The defender is only owned by 4.2 per cent of players, and has started the past two games.
He currently has a knock and could miss the game, but if his injury is only minor, given Newcastle’s other injury woes, expect him to be in the starting XI going forward.
