In the latest round of Fantasy Premier League (FPL) action, Alexander Isak emerged as the standout performer, rewarding his massive influx of new owners with yet another goal. Let's delve into the details of Gameweek 31:

1. Isak's Impact:

 The Swedish international found the back of the net for the fifth time in four matches, securing eight crucial FPL points for his 655,000 new owners. His goal was instrumental in Newcastle United's 1-1 draw against Everton.

2. Top Transfers: 

Isak topped the list of most-bought players for Gameweek 31, followed closely by Liverpool's Mohamed Salah and Darwin Nunez. Salah's consistent home form and Nunez's previous track record of goal contributions made them popular choices among FPL managers.

3. Salah's Home Form: 

Salah's impressive home form continued as he netted the winning goal against Brighton & Hove Albion in the previous weekend. With an appealing fixture against Sheffield United on the horizon, Salah remained a strong FPL asset.

4. Value Picks: 

Cole Palmer emerged as the best-value player in FPL, consistently delivering double-figure hauls since his introduction to the starting lineup for Chelsea. Rodrigo Muniz also caught the attention of FPL managers despite a disappointing performance in Gameweek 31.

5. Captaincy Choices: 

Erling Haaland led the captaincy picks for Manchester City's clash against Aston Villa, closely followed by Salah and Son Heung-min. Bukayo Saka also garnered significant captaincy attention due to Arsenal's favorable fixture against Luton Town.

6. Top Managers' Picks: 

The majority of the top 100 FPL managers placed their trust in Salah as their captain for Gameweek 31, highlighting his widespread appeal and potential for delivering double points.

Overall, Gameweek 31 showcased Isak's prowess, Salah's reliability, and the strategic decisions made by FPL managers in selecting their squads and captaincy choices. With several key fixtures ahead, the FPL landscape promises more excitement and strategic maneuvering in the weeks to come.
