Who has the best fixtures from FPL Gameweek 31?

Gameweek 31 wildcarders have been rewarded with confirmation of the fixtures for the upcoming blank and double gameweeks.

But with no surprises, the advantage over those who activated the chip in Gameweek 30 was lost.

The Hub's resident fixtures expert Ben Crellin was spot on with his projections for Double Gameweek 33 and Blank Gameweek 34.

Four teams will play twice in Gameweek 33, with the same sides blanking in Gameweek 34.

Newcastle top the Hub's fixture ticker up to Gameweek 35 with six fixtures, including a strong-looking Double Gameweek 32.

Crystal Palace's back-to-back doubles also gives them six matches in this period but neither double looks as appealing as Newcastle's.

Arsenal, Manchester City and Aston Villa are among the other doubling teams but Brighton are also a team of interest.

The Seagulls have no doubles, however they rank third best, thanks in part to their lack of a blank gameweek.

Best FPL Wildcard team for Gameweek 31: Predicted points

Mohamed Salah has a narrow lead at the top of the Hub's predicted points table.

Alexander Isak could overtake him though, should his injury flag be lifted ahead of Gameweek 31.

The Newcastle striker is a Triple Captain option in Gameweek 32, with his 14.1 projection well clear of Jean-Philippe Mateta's 10.2.

Double gameweek players feature heavily in the top 10, with only Salah and Cole Palmer not playing twice in one week.

Many of the popular players on Wildcard in Gameweek 30 are still tipped to do well - but this week's wildcarders have the benefit of swerving the injured Gabriel.

They also had the opportunity to see Bukayo Saka return to action. The Arsenal midfielder is rated seventh best for predicted points.
