Gameweek 31 Captain Hints and Tips
With a small fixture list, Salah is the standout pick for your Gameweek 31 captain. Should you take a risk though?
Shield Salah
Liverpool are the only top six side to feature this week and Salah is our only go-to captain pick available. He could be the most captained player EVER for this week.It’s obvious why he’s so popular as the Gameweek 31 captain, even compared to his fellow Liverpool players.Salah is owned by 99.3% of the top 1k. Expecting his captaincy % to be > 90% giving an effective GW31 ownership of 190%+

If you’re on a wildcard, Free Hit or can field XI without a big hit, there’s no need to gamble on your captain. Having a full team will be a differential in itself.

If you have serious ground to make up, then consider some difference makers or low ownership players from the FPL Herald captain article. A daredevil defender might be a gamble too far this week though!⚽️ NEW ARTICLE – BGW31 Tips ⚽️
