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

1. Wilfried Bony

Team: Swansea City (vs Arsenal, away) Position: Forward Value: £7.1m Selected by: 5.0% Total score: 104 Prior to his £12m switch to Swansea from Dutch team Vitesse in the summer, he has helped them score an astonishing 53 goals in 73 appearances, ending the 2012/13 Eredivisie season with 31 goals from just 30 games. The prolific hitman had not been able to replicate his scintillating form in the much more physical Premier League, but he has still help himself to 10 goals and two assists in 26 appearances for the Swans, which is an impressive tally for a mid-table side with several key players out. Bony secured 27 points in his last four games, but his rather expensive price tag of £7.1m might make me redundant to purchase him, especially with cheaper players delivering the goods at the moment. Hence, against a shocked Arsenal side who is still recovering from their 6-0 mauling at Stamford Bridge, it'll be interesting to see if Bony can break down and find a way past the Gunners's defence. His ability to deliver in big games are well documented, with 13 points in the match against Manchester City and 12 against Liverpool. If Bony should further solidify his own trend, you might want to consider purchasing him, with Swansea facing Chelsea and Southampton in the coming weeks, along with other mid-table teams with unreliable defences and inconsistent results. Keep an eye out for him. His performance tonight will very likely indicate how he'll be ending the season, on a strong note, or on a faded whimper.
