Fraser comes through injury doubt for Blank Gameweek

After coming into Saturday with a yellow flag, Ryan Fraser (£6.2m) has started Bournemouth’s Blank Gameweek 31 fixture.

The Scottish international has been deployed on the left flank, while David Brooks (£5.1m) is in central midfield.

As expected, Callum Wilson (£6.5m) and Josh King (£6.5m) lead the Cherries attack.

Without Fabian Schär (£4.7m) and Jamaal Lascelles (£4.7m) at the back, Federico Fernandez (£4.4m) and Paul Dummett (£4.4m) come into Newcastle’s five-man defence.

With Sean Longstaff (£4.5m) still out long-term, it’s Mo Diamé (£4.8m) who sits alongside Isaac Hayden (£4.4m) in central midfield.

As expected, Salomón Rondón (£5.9m) leads the attack, flanked by Ayoze Pérez (£6.1m) and Miguel Almirón (£6.0m).

Johann Berg Gudmundsson (£5.5m) comes back into the Burnley side for Jeff Hendrick (£5.2m), with Dwight McNeil (£4.4m) retaining his starting berth on the left of midfield.

Ashley Barnes (£5.7m) and Chris Wood (£6.2m) lead the Burnley attack.

Demarai Gray (£5.4m) gets the nod for Leicester as they arrive at Turf Moor, while Harvey Barnes (£5.5m), James Maddison (£6.8m) and Youri Tielemans (£6.0m) also earn a place in midfield behind Jamie Vardy (£9.1m).

Meanwhile, there are three changes for West Ham which could boost the potential for Felipe Anderson (£7.2m).

The Brazilian keeps his place in the side while Robert Snodgrass (£5.0m), who has taken set pieces off him recently, drops to the bench to be replaced by Michail Antonio (£6.8m).

Meanwhile, Marko Arnautovic (£6.9m) comes in for Javier ‘Chicharito’ Hernandez (£6.1m) and Pablo Zabaleta (£4.3m) starts ahead of Ryan Fredericks (£4.5m).

Bournemouth XI: Boruc; Clyne, Mepham, Aké, Daniels; Lerma; Ibe, Fraser; Brooks; Wilson, King.

Newcastle XI: Dubravka; Yedlin, Federico Fernández, Lejeune, Dummett, Ritchie; Ayoze Pérez, Diamé, Hayden, Almirón; Rondón.

Burnley XI: Heaton; Bardsley, Tarkowski, Mee, Taylor; Johann Gudmundsson, Westwood, Cork, McNeil; Barnes, Wood.

Leicester XI: Schmeichel; Ricardo Pereira, Evans, Maguire, Chilwell; Ndidi; Gray, Tielemans, Maddison, Barnes; Vardy.

West Ham XI: Fabianski; Cresswell, Diop, Ogbonna, Zabaleta; Noble, Rice; Anderson, Antonio, Lanzini; Arnautovic.

Huddersfield XI: Lossl, Smith, Kongolo, Bacuna, Mooy, Lowe, Grant, Pritchard, Stankovic, Durm, Rowe.

      Anderson 45' = 1 point banked.
      Those defenders may get 0.
