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.

      4 teams still to play tomorrow

      1. Crouching Tiger
        • 13 Years
        7 years, 4 months ago

        Everyone had triple Liverpool anyway.

        Today was the day to make real gains on a FH.

        1. Crouching Tiger
          • 13 Years
          7 years, 4 months ago

          Looked good on paper.

    2. twoplustwo
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      Surely some Liverpool and hChelsea to come though?

      1. FPL DONKEY
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 4 months ago

        Non FHers all have Liverpool and Chelsea

        1. George Sillett
          • 10 Years
          7 years, 4 months ago

          All of them don't. Most of them do.

    3. Salah’s Sonnet

    Have I got this right?

    ---DGW32---
    Palace guaranteed to play Huddersfield (H)
    Watford guaranteed to play Man United (A) ***and Fulham (H) moves here for certain***

    ---GW33---
    Palace guaranteed to play Newcastle (A)
    Watford guaranteed to blank ***moving Fulham (H) to DGW32***

      ---DGW32---
      Palace guaranteed to play Huddersfield (H) is wrong.
      Didn't bother with rest.

      1. Lionel Ronaldo
        7 years, 4 months ago

        Why would they not play Huddersfield? In either case it was their GW33 which was in danger, no?

    thoose who have FH have you made atleast 20 points on your old team ?

    1. Hect.OR 98th
      • 16 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      No, 1

    2. Crouching Tiger
      • 13 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      8 points.

  13. The Tinkerman
    • 10 Years
    7 years, 4 months ago

    Just checked the overall average and top 10k average.

    I planned for weeks for this GW and I have less than the average score, including dead teams. Depressing stuff.

    Didn't even take a hit 🙁

    1. fusen
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      on paper this was always going to be a low scoring week, the goal was to get as many players starting and ride it out

      1. The Tinkerman
        • 10 Years
        7 years, 4 months ago

        That's why it's so odd to be below the overall average. I have 11 starters, when surely the average should dictate just owning 11 players who have a match would see you doing reasonably well.

    2. MGD
      • 10 Years

      It’s not over ..

  14. Tommo1888

    Does TSB include free hits? Figures don’t look very accurate!

  15. Never Captain Nicky Butt

  16. Differential C (Mark)

  22. dunas_dog

    Did Maddison get injury or tactical?

  23. Leao ball
    • 7 Years

    Harden 3 pt

  24. tm245
    • 14 Years
    7 years, 4 months ago

    Isn't the measure of a free hit's value how many additional points you get for your own team? What transfers you do or don't make before or after?

    1. TorresMagic™
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 17 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      GWs surrounding also.

      1. tm245
        • 14 Years
        7 years, 4 months ago

        Right, before and after. It is odd to read so many comparing FH to the average for a single GW.

  25. Gudjohnsen
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 4 months ago

    Higuain playing tomorrow?

    1. Hazz
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      Probably

    2. Salah’s Sonnet
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      Dunno

    3. Ghost Gooner
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      Why worry when the deadline has passed?

  26. YEAH PITCH!
    • 7 Years
    7 years, 4 months ago

    Anyone made a free hit 32 team draft?

    1. TorresMagic™
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 17 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      What's the rush?

      1. YEAH PITCH!
        • 7 Years
        7 years, 4 months ago

        No rush. Just interesting to see the ideas. Also to avoid price drops/rises before bringing players in.

  27. g40steve
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 4 months ago

    I actually think if I chose a team at the start & logged on during last game points would be similar without the time & stress involved in picking rubbish players.

  28. Richd
    • 14 Years
    7 years, 4 months ago

    -8 for Maddison and Firmino

    The way this weeks gone I think breaking evening has been lucky

  29. Borisalandoris
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 4 months ago

    Don't forget people this kind of start to a gameweeks occurred last year and everyone was crying like babies. Then Salah the man scored 4 to give everyone crazy points

  30. Bubz
    • 12 Years
    7 years, 4 months ago

    How the hell is Anderson never involved in anything. I hate him so much
