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.

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

      It takes a special effort to get sent off within the first 5 minutes...well done Maguire, well done.

    6. Monkey Hanger
      • 10 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      Andy brought Maguire in one minute before deadline.

        He was very pleased with himself when Schindler was not in the squad too

      The season ticker appears to be broke, no games listed before GW36 !

    8. tm245
      • 12 Years

      Morgan on for Gray.

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

      Gray off, Morgan on

    10. Bury94

      • 6 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      Got away with that one. Would have done AWB to Maguire if Palace looked like they were going to win before

    11. tiger
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      To make it worse, Rodgers is bringing on Wes Morgan!

    12. FPL Daniel
      • 14 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      Mark same like me has done -12.

      He was afraid that Fraser will start and went Brooks even though he had the money.

      Sold Jimmy like me too.

      Comeeeee ooon both of us with 1 difference. Come ooon Mane instead of double Liv defence

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

        He took a -12?! Wow

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

      At least people only took a -2 to get Maguire in and not a -4.

      1. La Roja
        • 12 Years
        5 years, 3 months ago

        lol

        1. FPL Daniel

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

        • 14 Years
        5 years, 3 months ago

        This GW will be decided Mane Vs double Liv defence. Simple as that

        1. Differentiator
          • 8 Years
          5 years, 3 months ago

          I only have (C) Salah and TAA

          • 9 Years
          5 years, 3 months ago

          Right man in charge for that!

      7. tm245
        • 12 Years
        5 years, 3 months ago

        Didn't really consider a Burnley attacker this week.

      8. Speédy
        • 7 Years

        Poor Andy 😆

        1. GinjaWhinja
          • 14 Years
          5 years, 3 months ago

          He was lucky originally, when Schindler was confirmed out.
          Someone on his stream did call this (the red)

      9. x.jim.x
        • 9 Years
        5 years, 3 months ago

        Antonio ruins Rice assist.

        1. Fred54
          • 9 Years
          5 years, 3 months ago

          Don't worry, Rice will score anyway.

        2. FPL Daniel
          • 14 Years
          5 years, 3 months ago

          Classic Antonio

      10. how now brown cow
        • 9 Years

        I think fpl is broken anyway, so they'll have to reatart the match.

        Can I use triple captain AND my wildcard for next week? Does wildcard count as a chip?

            First time this situation has arisen.

        • 14 Years

        So Pereira again isn't going to give us CS pts. He has been a terrible purchase... Hope he repays the faith in GW 33

        FPL towers badly need to get in some overpaid consultants to not fix their website
