Best Midfielders in Fantasy Premier League This Week for Gameweek 31
Cole Palmer (Chelsea, £10.6m)
Chelsea have been really poor in recent weeks, but Cole Palmer is one of those world-class players who could always end up giving you solid attacking returns even if the team as a collective isn't performing according to their expected levels. He seems to have gotten rid of his injury issues as well which have been affecting his performances from the beginning of the season, and we might slowly start seeing the best of him.
Anthony Gordon (Newcastle, £7.3m)
Anthony Gordon had a poor start to his season, but he's recently been in top form and is arguably one of the best Newcastle players in the past month or 2. Another major advantage of picking Gordon right now is Eddie Howe currently plays him as a striker ahead of Nick Woltemade & Yoane Wissa, which means even better direct goal contribution opportunities. He is undoubtedly one of the best FPL midfielders this week.
Harry Wilson (Fulham, £6.0m)
Harry Wilson is our top pick for best budget midfielder this week. He has been outstanding this season for Fulham, and even boasts of 16 Direct goal contributions so far this season. Burnley at home is an excellent fixture as well for getting huge attacking reasons. Looking at all the factors, we'd even go as far as saying he's an essential in Gameweek 32.
Dominik Szoboszlai (Liverpool, £7.0m)
Dominik Szoboszlai once again came to the rescue of Arne Slot and Liverpool last week, as they might've ended up losing against a relegation-battling Spurs if not for his fantastic free-kick. Szoboszlai has arguably been Liverpool's best player as well this season. The Reds will face Brighton this weekend, and their vulnerable defense could be exploited by someone of Szoboszlai's quality.
Bruno Fernandes (Manchester United, £10.2m)
No words can do justice to how extraordinary Bruno Fernandes has been this season for Manchester United. The numbers he's put up this season are absolutely out of this world. He now has 16 assists this season, and another 7 goals which means a total of 23 direct goal involvements. When the Man Utd captain is playing like this, the opposition doesn't even matter. He is simply an essential at this moment.
In conclusion, selecting the right midfielders can greatly influence your Fantasy Premier League results in Gameweek 31. With promising fixtures and strong attacking upside, the midfielders featured on this list have the potential to deliver valuable returns through goals, assists, and bonus points. Keep these options in mind while planning your midfielder transfer decisions to maximize your chances of scoring big in GW31.
(Note: Manchester City and Arsenal players won't be available this weekend due to the Carabao Cup Final)
