Top 10 Most Popular FPL Picks for Gameweek 31
If you have little clue as to who the highest owned players going into the new round are, then you are in the right place. Here we take a look at the Top 10 Most Popular FPL Picks for Gameweek 31, counting down from 10th to 1st.
6th-10th
Breaking into the top 10 for the first time in a long time is Josko Gvardiol. This week the Croatian faces local rivals Manchester United at Old Trafford, which could see him have potential at both ends of the pitch.
One of three flagged players (at the time of writing) is Ola Aina. Aina picked up a calf injury during Nottingham Forest’ 1-0 defeat to Manchester United, so he may not get the chance to clash with Aston Villa this week.
Gaining an additional 2% ownership since last week is David Raya. Arsenal failed to keep a clean sheet against Fulham in Gameweek 30, but Everton away could be a good opportunity to repay his new owners.
Arsenal’ Gabriel appears to have maintained his position since last week. That may be the case, but the Brazilian played just 15 minutes in Gameweek 30 due to injury, so awaiting an update on that could be vital.
Dropping around 2% ownership since Gameweek 30, Justin Kluivert seems to be less popular recently. The Cherries still have great fixtures ahead, starting with a meeting against West Ham away from home.

5th – 38% Ownership
Dropping down to fifth and losing 5% in ownership, Chris Wood (£7.2m) is still recovering from a hip injury. With this in mind, one would expect his popularity to decline even further. Aston Villa away next up could be quite limiting to his potential regardless of his injury status.
4th – 38.2% Ownership
Bryan Mbeumo (£8.1m) may have snuck into 4th, but he has still lost 2% of his managers recently. Mbeumo is coming into a torrid run of fixtures ahead, starting with a clash against Chelsea. The Blues are far from convincing defensively, so the Brentford penalty taker could have potential.
3rd – 42.7% Ownership
Cole Palmer (£10.7m) has also taken a hit in terms of popularity – losing around 4% ownership. There seems to be a huge shift taking place in FPL, probably due to major fixture swings and key injuries, and Palmer is another victim of that. Ipswich at home however, could be a massive opportunity for him to bag a big return.
2nd – 58.2% Ownership
One of few players who have actually increased in popularity is Alexander Isak (£9.4m). Newcastle have upcoming double Gameweeks, which is arguably the most significant reason for that, but before the double Isak has a chance to punish a poor Leicester defence.
1st – 71.4% Ownership
Coming in at number one, and gaining another 1% ownership since Gameweek 30, Liverpool’ Mohamed Salah (£13.8m) continues to dominate. Arne Slot and his men meet with West Ham at home next up, which could see him add yet another double-digit haul.
