Fantasy Football Tips: 5 Important Players To Observe In Gameweek 31

How My Recommendations Fared in Part 1 of GW31

Players You Should Definitely Buy:Steven Gerrard - 1 point Minutes Played: 90 (2 points) Yellow Card (-1 point) Seamus Coleman - 1 point Minutes Played: 90 (2 points) Goals Conceded: 2 (-1 point) Laurent Koscielny - -1 point Minutes Played: 45 (1 point) Goals Conceded: 4 (-2 points) Players You Should Potentially Buy:Jay Rodriguez - 7 points Minutes Played: 63 (2 points) Goals Scored: 1 (4 points) Bonus Points: 2 David Silva - 6 points Minutes Played: 67 (2 points) Assists: 1 (3 points) Clean Sheet (1 point) Players You Need To Drop:Samuel Eto'o - 5 points Minutes Played: 9 (1 point) Goals Scored: 1 (4 points) I'm disappointed at how my recommendations's points turned out thus far. The three players I said everyone should definitely be buying didn't play up to their standards, with Gerrard and Coleman notching one solitary point each, and Koscielny getting a negative score. Rodriguez and Silva both had good games, accuring 13 points between them. Although Eto'o got himself a goal and five points, he was injured with a hamstring problem, putting him at a 50% chance of playing against Crystal Palace next week. Justified. Coleman and Koscielny have games coming up in the second part of Gameweek 31, and I can only hope both their teams and themselves can recover. It's very tempting to get rid of Koscielny right now after seeing how Chelsea ripped Arsenal's defence apart, and replace him with a more on-song defender like Martin Demichellis (£5.9m), but it's still too early to rush to concrete conclusions. I'm confident the duo will get back to form sooner rather than later. For those of you who are thinking of dropping them, especially Koscielny, now is not the right time (yet) to exclude them from your roster. Both of them were having an uncharacteristic off-day, and a few more performances will be needed to make the correct decision on whether they should be axed.
