Steem Fantasy Premier League - Gameweek 31 Overview

Blank Gameweek 31 is officially over.

The week started with Newcastle and Bournemouth drawing. For Newcastle Robson delivered as usual. Almiron Is a player to keep an eye on. He’s got his second assist in a row.

For the cherries Wilson and Fraser the most popular players didn’t deliver, they were very close though. Fraser hit the crossbar once and Wilson almost scored but Federico Fernandez saved Newcastle with a bicycle kick. The cherries lost their victory by an injury time equalizer from Matt Ritchie

Burnley vs Leicester was another game decided in injury time, thanks to Wes Morgan. Harry Maguire, Leicester’s most popular centre back was red-carded. Tielemans is another player to look for, in 4 games he’s got 3 assists and 1 goal. For Burnley this late goal must have been devastating, they are pretty close to being relegated and now have 1 more match played than Cardiff.

West Ham vs Huddersfield was decided by a late goal as well, it was an amazing match. West Ham started winning with a penalty kick, but Huddersfield answered by scoring thrice. This is the same amount of goals that they have scored in the last 11 matches. Unfortunately for Huddersfield West Ham pulled a comeback in injury time with a header from Chicharito. In only 15 minutes the Hammers were able to turn the tables by scoring 3 headers!

Chelsea is in poor away form. They have lost their fourth match in a row outside Stamford bridge. Many of us saw with dismay how Hazard hit the crossbar once. For Everton Richarlison scored his 12th goal of the season and it’s the second week in a row where he delivers.

Liverpool won a very important match for the title race against city. They are temporarily leading, but their victory was unconvincing, as they struggled against Fulham. Sadio Mane delivered as usual with 1 goal and assist, and was very close to scoring a second one!
On the other hand things aren’t looking great for Mo Salah, in the last 8 matches he’s only got 1 goal and 1 assist.

For most people this week was a disaster, evidence of this was the Average score of 26. Many popular players didn’t deliver, such as Wilson, Fraser, Vardy, Salah and Hazard. Others who used to be popular ( Richarlison King Chicharito) did great performances. We should also consider that on this part of the season there are many dead teams and that some people might be saving their free hits for the Double gameweek 32 (DGW32)
