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.

      Haha

    3. Gudjohnsen
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      So 2 points instead of 1?

  9. fr3d
    • 6 Years
    5 years, 3 months ago

    Now that Arnie is off, it's time to do your magic, Felipe

    1. Salah’s Sonnet
      • 12 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      He doesn’t possess any magic at all

  10. TAT
    • 6 Years
    5 years, 3 months ago

    Puncheon will score now.

  11. Peter Ouch
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 5 Years

    Almiron Ake assists

    I'll take that!

    1. Sim Simma
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      Again ?

      1. Peter Ouch
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 5 Years
        5 years, 3 months ago

        One each!

    2. FC Hakkebøf

      Gj

    3. Salah’s Sonnet
      • 12 Years

      Yep, nice Almiron assist here 🙂

  12. Lionel Ronaldo
    • 8 Years
    5 years, 3 months ago

    So what happens now that Watford are through?

    1. Dannyb
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      Palace play 33

      1. Lionel Ronaldo
        • 8 Years
        5 years, 3 months ago

        Watford - Arsenal thus blank in GW33, yes?
        However, does this automatically mean that Watford-Arsenal moves to DGW32?

      2. KukaVain
        • 9 Years
        5 years, 3 months ago

        And Newcastle

      3. Lionel Ronaldo
        • 8 Years
        5 years, 3 months ago

        Apologies, I meant "Watford and Fulham thus blank in GW33, yes? However, does this automatically mean that Watford-Fulham moves to DGW32?"

    2. Amey
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      Awb plays 33
      Watford gets 2 dgw's

    3. FC Hakkebøf
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      Rondon plays in bgw33

  13. Rainer
    • 7 Years
    5 years, 3 months ago

    Hud close to a 4th 😮

  14. BIG TONES
    • 9 Years
    5 years, 3 months ago

    Fulham will be adrift by three at the bottom if Hudds win this. Pool will hit them for six

  15. Yank Revolution
    • 12 Years
    5 years, 3 months ago

    Im still on -2... ;-( 5 players x 2 pts - 12 in hits...Sigh...

  16. TorresMagic™

    Crouch on Chris Wood off.

    Such a disappointment today

    1. Dannyb
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      Was always going to be. Everyone had Chelsea and Liverpool players which is all you needed really. Some guys in my mini league to 12 point hits this week, madness.

  18. andrewe63
    • 12 Years

    it was only going to be all about the 'Liverpool 3'

    Let's face it eh!

    1. LosBlancos

      • 7 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      2 for Wat

    Ake assist is frustrating !!
    Clyne & Pereira do something please

    A colleague in my ML went Fab, Rice and Diop on his FH 😆

    1. dvdguy
      • 8 Years

      Hope he doesn't own Mags as well

    2. Amey

    2. Gobigorgohome

    3. Fred54

    4. YEAH PITCH!
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      A slice of Ham. Rumour has it the Ham takes better penalties than the human players.

  23. JJeyy
    • 8 Years

    Do a hazard, Anderson....

    Jesus. Arnie off? Got him in for Rondón this morning. Am so far off the pace I went for Arnie as a gamble.

    How has Anderson stayed on the pitch

    How has Snodgrass stayed on the bench

    1. ThisTimeNxtYrRodney
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      He would probably miss anyway giving me another minus along with McGuire. This is quite a testing week, so far.
