Fantasy Premier League tips: FPL transfers, scout and captain options for gameweek 31 deadline today

The clock is ticking on Fantasy Premier League managers make their adjustments for gameweek 31.

After a week away due to the international break, managers who have been sat on their hands coming up with all manner of ideas can finally enact them as GW31 looms.

The early kick-off curse is a bit of a phenomenon in FPL but Firmino is well-placed to enjoy a good haul against Watford on Saturday. Not part of the Brazil squad over the last week, he could be favoured to start and give his international club mates a bit of a rest.

The double gameweek-backers will have a tough time deciding between a Burnley team hosting Man City and Everton, or the Toffees side facing trips to West Ham and Turf Moor. Everton’s dismal away record should make the Clarets the ones to back.

Brentford travel to Stamford Bridge on Saturday for a west London derby against a Blues side on top form. Havertz has four goals, an assist, two clean sheets, and five bonus points in
