This weekend in Fantasy Premier League, there are no games for Arsenal, Manchester City, Crystal Palace, and Wolves.

The Carabao Cup final between Arsenal and Manchester City has led to a reduced schedule, with only eight matches taking place in Gameweek 31.

Some may have difficulty filling a full team, but sticking to a long-term strategy is crucial for success.

For those who still have it available, many might decide to use their Free Hit this week. However, it may be wise to reconsider. A larger blank gameweek is coming in Gameweek 34.

During Gameweek 34, the FA Cup semi-finals will take place, which could lead to as many as eight teams missing games. At least one team from Manchester City or Liverpool, and Leeds or West Ham, will definitely not play. It’s also expected that Chelsea and Arsenal will win their quarter-final matches against lower-league teams.

If those teams do not play, managers could face challenges without the Free Hit chip to rely on.

Fantasy Premier League tips for Gameweek 31

  • Stay calm. Fantasy Premier League is a long-term challenge. While the end of the season approaches, maintaining a strategy is essential. Having 9 or 10 players you want may be better than using your Free Hit chip or making transfers for just this week.
  • Additionally, players from Manchester City and Crystal Palace are likely to have at least one double gameweek soon. Getting rid of them just for this weekend might cause problems later.
