The most purchased player for Gameweek 31, Alexander Isaac (£7.7m), rewarded its 655,000 new owners Fantasy Premier League with his fifth goal in four matches.

The players with the most purchases of GW31
Player | Transferred from | Grades |
---|---|---|
Isaac | 655,840 | 8 |
Salah | 552,619 | – |
Nunez | 390,462 | – |
Muniz | 273,737 | 2 |
Pilgrim | 255,583 | – |
Mohamed Salah (£13.3m) was the second most bought player, with Darwin Nunez (£7.6 million) in third place.
Liverpool have an attractive home clash with Sheffield United on Thursday.
Salah continued his impressive home form with the winning goal against Brighton & Hove Albion last weekend. He has now been shutout in just one of his 11 home starts, averaging 9.2 points per game in that streak.
Nunez will look to get back on track after a rare layoff in Gameweek 30. He had a goal or an assist in each of his previous seven starts.
The best value player in Fantasy, Cole Palmer (£5.9m) and Rodrigo Muniz (£4.7m) completed the top five transfer targets.
Palmer has made eight double figures since making his first start for Chelsea in Game 7, two more than any other player in Fantasy. The Blues entertain Manchester United on Thursday.
It was a disappointing night for the 273,000+ Fantasy bosses who recruited Muniz as he failed to return despite having five shots in the area in Fulham’s 3-1 defeat at Nottingham Forest, the most of any player in Gameweek 31 so far .

Erling Haaland (£14.3m) is the captain’s top choice for Manchester City’s home game with Aston Villa, an increase of almost 200,000 on the previous week, with Salah in second place.
Son Heung-min (£10.1m) finished third, handed the armband by more than 679,000 managers, but was unable to add to his impressive tally of five double-figure home games as Tottenham drew 1-1 at West Ham United . .
It was also an off night for Dominic Solanke (£7.2m), who had just one shot in AFC Bournemouth’s 1-0 win over Crystal Palace and failed to find the net.
A home game against Luton Town convinced over 670,000 managers to trust Bucayo Saka (£9.0m) with the captain’s armband. The England international is Arsenal’s leading player in Fantasy, scoring 181 points, 50 more than any of his teammates.
