The key talking points ahead of Blank Gameweek 31

The first big Blank Gameweek of the season is upon us with just five fixtures this weekend which has managers panicking about not having XI players while those who have prepared for Gameweek 31 with their transfers in recent weeks are feeling confident about achieving a healthy green arrow.

‘Do I take hits to field XI players?’ is a commonly asked question at this time of year. Calculated hits are fine if you believe the player you are bringing in will deliver in the upcoming Gameweeks.

The way the Blanks are falling this season (in 31 and 33) makes it easier to take a -4 to get a player who plays in both Gameweeks, especially for those who plan to use the Free Hit chip in Double Gameweek 32 and the second Wildcard in Gameweek 34.

For example, a -4 to replace Diogo Jota (£6.1m) with Ryan Fraser (£6.2m) this week makes sense as Jota won’t play in 31 or 33 whereas Fraser will make those four points back by just playing 60+ minutes against Newcastle and Burnley if he avoids a booking. Anything from Fraser over the two games and you’re up on the deal.

There seems to be a template Gameweek 31 team forming this week made up of triple Liverpool, Chelsea’s Eden Hazard (£10.9m) and Gonzalo Higuaín (£9.6m), Fraser and Callum Wilson (£6.4m) from Bournemouth, double/triple West Ham defence and Leicester’s Jamie Vardy (£9.0m).

There are plenty of differentials to consider too though for those who want to take on the template. The Leicester midfield trio of James Maddison (£6.7m), Harvey Barnes (£5.5m) and Youri Tielemans (£6.0m) all offer points potential away to Burnley.

Ashley Barnes (£5.7m) is owned by just 3.6% of managers despite scoring six goals in his last ten appearances. There is a strong case to be made for opting for Barnes over Higuain on current form.

Marko Arnautovic (£6.8m) has the ability and the fixture (home to Huddersfield) to be the top-scoring forward for the Gameweek if he is handed a start by Manuel Pellegrini. With a 2pm deadline on Saturday, we may get some early team news. It might be worth holding off on transfers until as late as possible this week.

Miguel Almirón (£6.0m) and Dwight McNeil (£4.4m) are two more midfielders to consider particularly for those on Free Hit this week. Almirón registered his first assist of the season in the win over Everton. McNeil is the ideal first sub for those on Free Hit.

In defence, will we see Charlie Daniels roll back the years and deliver a big haul? He’s a budget-friendly pick at just £4.1m.

Wilson will be coming into my side this week so apologies in advance to anyone who owns him. He was in my squad for three Gameweeks this season (5, 6 and 7) when he scored zero goals. Once transferred-out, he scored 35 points over the next four games and started to do a salute celebration every time he scored just to rub salt in the wound. Watch him blank now for the rest of the season. Don’t say I didn’t warn you.

Captaincy is tough this week if you own both Sadio Mané (£9.9m) and Mohamed Salah (£13.4m). Salah is currently leading the captaincy poll but Mane further strengthened his case for the armband with a brace against Bayern Munich on Wednesday night.

Mané is in the form of his life, he’s surely got to get the nod over Salah now? It’s been highlighted this week that he’s only scored three of his sixteen league goals away from home this season but then he goes and gets a brace in Bavaria to kill off that reasoning.

Whatever happens in the Fulham v Liverpool fixture, there will be carnage if one of Mane/Salah heavily outscores the other.

Good luck for the Gameweek and enjoy your weekend folks.

      Not sure that 36 with huds is ok for tc if pool still in the ch.l

  4. Karan14

    Are Fraser & Wilson better options than all the other players in their price bracket for the blanks?

    1. Boris Bodega
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 15 days ago

      Pretty much. Lots of talk about Arnie as well if he is fit.

    2. Pierce34
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 15 days ago

      Yes - with those two and King and Brooks all fit, I can see Bournemouth going on a similar run as earlier in the season.

      1. pingissimus
        • 5 Years
        5 years, 15 days ago

        I can see them going on a similar run to this time last season. Great fixtures and something like 7 points from 7 matches.

      2. pingissimus
        • 5 Years
        5 years, 15 days ago

        Point being almost all their matches are against teams with heaps to play for - they have nothing at stake.

        And well are they really so very great - they too are a bottom 10 side. They have a great rep but it's mostly for over performing for their resources.

        1. Karan14
          • 7 Years
          5 years, 15 days ago

          Agreed but even Bou need to get to 40 points first. And I assume they would want to at least do well in the home games in front of their supporters. Wilson arguably would also want to put in some performances and earn himself a big transfer.

          Except Pool not many other attackers look better options for the blanks.

          1. pingissimus
            • 5 Years
            5 years, 15 days ago

            Agreed for 31/3 they look as good as most other options. But that's putting a lot of stress on early season form and a routine performance and victory against Huddersfield.

            But I think Vardy and the Leicester mids are for instance as good a bet as Fraser and Wilson given they have Huddersfield coming up. Rondo after all equalled their return when he played Huddersfield.

            1. DJ1000
              • 9 Years
              5 years, 15 days ago

              Didn’t wolves lose 1-0 at Huddersfield? Not the only team to go down there.

            2. DJ1000
              • 9 Years
              5 years, 15 days ago

              I disagree. Burnley away can be very tough. Leicester still finding themselves under Rodgers

        2. DJ1000
          • 9 Years
          5 years, 15 days ago

          I suggest you look at the stats. Both Fraser and Wilson right up there in terms of total points for the season. King brooks Fraser and Wilson together are in the top 8 in the league attacking wise. Would prefer them to Chelsea when playing at home. I expect Bournemouth to really end that season well this season

          1. pingissimus
            • 5 Years
            5 years, 15 days ago

            Let's wait and see. You could be right. But I still expect Bournemouth to end the season around 11th or 12th and the Fraser Wilson stats to look much less exceptional than they do now.

  5. BananaMan
    • 13 Years
    5 years, 15 days ago

    Afternoon,
    All the talk of a Liverpool Double-up, either in defence or midfield, are people overlooking Firmino?
    I have Aguero who will blank this week, I'm using FH for 32, he will most likely blank 33 & I will WC 34, bringing him back in for TC 35!

    My move for -4 Aguero -> Firmino makes sense in my head, gives me 10 outfield players for 31 & 11 for 33.

    No brainer??

    1. Boris Bodega
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 15 days ago

      Both Robertson and TAA have higher points ceilings that Firmino imo

      1. BananaMan
        • 13 Years
        5 years, 15 days ago

        Could you expand on this?

        1. Bobby Digital
          • 6 Years
          5 years, 15 days ago

          Pool defs have ridiculous goal involvement stats

          1. BananaMan
            • 13 Years
            5 years, 15 days ago

            The only Liverpool defender I can afford atm without doing -8 would be Matip/Lovren.
            I already own Salah & Robbo.
            I was drawn to Firminho as I have so much money tied up in Aguero that will be sat on the bench.

            1. Rupert The Horse
              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • 11 Years
              5 years, 15 days ago

              And that might be clouding your judgement.

    2. Karan14
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 15 days ago

      Prefer Wilson over Firmino.

  6. Federico
    • 11 Years
    5 years, 15 days ago

    Currently on -4, playing 3-4-2 with no GK (Ederson + 4.0).
    Worth doing Jimenez -> King for another hit? I already own Wilson and have 7.6 at my disposal.

    1. Federico
      • 11 Years
      5 years, 15 days ago

      FH32

    2. Not again Shirley
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 15 days ago

      No as Jimmy plays twice following week so you’ll want him back at higher price.

  7. Tmel
    • 13 Years
    5 years, 15 days ago

    Outside of Liverpool players, are there any defenders worth a hit?

    Any price (would be replacing AWB)

    1. Karan14
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 15 days ago

      Possibly Rice, Azpi/Luiz or Ake but I wouldn't be comfortable taking a hit for them.

    2. Pierce34
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 15 days ago

      I really don't think so - there's a bunch of games that could go either way, where I wouldn't be surprised if a team kept a clean sheet or conceded a couple of goals or more. And of course there's West Ham, who people will be tempted to double up on, but they very rarely keep a clean sheet when they're expected to. It may be Huddersfield, but if anyone can make them look good offensively, it's West Ham 😉

    3. Rainer
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 15 days ago

      Not so sure, AWB may have a game in 33 also.

  8. Bobby Digital
    • 6 Years
    5 years, 15 days ago

    Hopefully Higuain has shaked off his flu by Sunday. Can't be bothered to use a transfer...

    1. kysersosa
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 15 days ago

      Wouldn’t read too much into that.

    2. kysersosa
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 15 days ago

      Until it comes out in the pressers it’s just hearsay.

      1. Rainer
        • 7 Years
        5 years, 15 days ago

        Sarri said it in a presser 😆

        1. kysersosa
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 9 Years
          5 years, 15 days ago

          Palm to face! Ha!

        2. kysersosa
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 9 Years
          5 years, 15 days ago

          Still staying in my team!

          1. Rainer
            • 7 Years
            5 years, 15 days ago

            Would be shocked if he doesn't play.

            1. kysersosa
              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • 9 Years
              5 years, 15 days ago

              If Giroud plays 90 tonight, no danger of Higuain not playing.

      2. Bobby Digital
        • 6 Years
        5 years, 15 days ago

        Was between him and Vardy last week and went with Higuain... took a good beating alright.

    3. Make Arrows Green Again
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 15 days ago

      They don't want to risk him in a dead rubber. I'm sure he'll play.

    4. Fpl Richie
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 15 days ago

      It sounds like a sensible precautionary rest tonight, then provided his ten burgers and chips restore his strength, he'll play Sunday.

  9. Christina.
    • 14 Years
    5 years, 15 days ago

    ''(If) he's ready, I think that he will return to his position."

    lol

  10. kysersosa

    Thoughts on bringing in Clyne for the rest of the season?

    1. Flynny
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 15 days ago

      Ok. But I don't trust bou defensively

  11. Alexis Nonsense
    • 8 Years

    Is Higuain "ill" or ill ?

    Hi....I have 1.4mitb and 2ft

    Thoughts on:

    Sterling jiminez kamara to mane Wilson king - 4?

    Would give this team for 31

    Fab (stek)
    Robbo Pereira yedlin (doherty bednarek)
    Salah hazard mane Anderson (pogba)
    rondon Wilson king

    thanks

    1. Cojones of Destiny
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 15 days ago

      no just do the first two no need for king if u got wilson

      1. Flynny
        • 9 Years
        5 years, 15 days ago

        King is worth the hit surely to field 11??

    2. Cojones of Destiny
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 15 days ago

      2 or 6 points or even start on bench go 4 it if u feel it’s best for ur team mate

  13. Toblerone52 - Zlatan Ibra-H…
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 7 Years
    5 years, 15 days ago

    I'm definitely doing Aguero to Wilson this week with my Free transfer.

    For a hit would you rather do Pogba to Hazard.... losing 0.8 in value
    or
    Kamara to Arnie... high upside but probably a more risky pick than Hazard.

    1. Jealous Viper
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 15 days ago

      Pogba to haz but I'm a bit of a dullard. If you want to take the risk, Arnies upside seems higher this week

      1. Toblerone52 - Zlatan Ibra-H…
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 7 Years
        5 years, 15 days ago

        I've got quite a few nice differentials for this week with Almiron and Maddison so maybe I Should play Safe with Hazard. Just not that keen on losing all that value for 1 week :/

    2. pressdpm
      • 11 Years
      5 years, 15 days ago

      I take it you're using FH next week then?

      1. Toblerone52 - Zlatan Ibra-H…
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 7 Years
        5 years, 15 days ago

        Yes Free hit in 32

  14. wernerhedgehog
    • 6 Years
    5 years, 15 days ago

    Need the most nailed Bournemouth defender.

    Is it Daniels and Ake? Why didn't Clyne start?

    1. Rainer
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 15 days ago

      Ake.

      Clyne dropped out as players returned from injury and Smith moved back to right back. Smith now injured though.

      1. wernerhedgehog
        • 6 Years
        5 years, 15 days ago

        thanks Rainer.

        Last question, If between Daniels and Clyne, who would likely start both GW31 and GW33? TIA.

        1. Rainer
          • 7 Years
          5 years, 15 days ago

          I'd never go back to Daniels after previous experiences 😆

          With Adam Smiths injury, I'd look at Clyne.

    2. Differential C (Mark)
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 15 days ago

      Ake, the guy looks irreplaceable at the BOU defence.

  15. Geordie19
    • 7 Years
    5 years, 15 days ago

    Worth doing Rashford to Wilson?

    If so, which 2 do I start out of Brooks, Fanderson and Wilson?

    1. Jealous Viper
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 15 days ago

      Yes imo
      Fanderson and Wilson

      1. Geordie19

    VVD and Boruc in for Lloris and Doherty for a hit? Yay or nay.
    Already have TAA so is it better to go for a Chelsea defender

    1. Rupert The Horse
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      5 years, 15 days ago

      Yeigh

    2. Geordie19

      You can make the moves on Saturday morning

      1. Rupert The Horse
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        5 years, 15 days ago

        Ooh, that'd be tight. Working 10am to 1am tomorrow and then 10am to 5pm, so I;ll be crazy busy.

    Just to be sure, am I correct in thinking that the following teams have a chance of 3 fixtures in GW32-33.

    Chelsea (confirmed already)
    Brighton
    Palace (not Watford)
    Watford (not Palace)
    Spurs (plus Palace)
    Saints

      Interesting. Cheers, Deulofail.

        Haha don't treat this as Gospel. I'm trying to figure it out 🙂

      Is this what you mean?

      Palace can get a game even if they lose depending on the Brighton result. If Brighton win in the cup and don't get a game in 33 then Spurs will play Palace come what may in 32 to break in their stadium.

      1. Deulofail

        5 years, 15 days ago

        I think so. I'm basing it on Ruth's/Jarvish's predictions for DGW32.

    Current Top 10 best Centre Backs according to FourFourTwo

    1. Virgil Van Dijk (Liverpool and the Netherlands)
    2. Raphael Varane (Real Madrid and France)
    3. Kalidou Koulibaly (Napoli and Senegal)
    4. Sergio Ramos (Real Madrid and Spain)
    5. Aymeric Laporte (Manchester City and France)
    6. Diego Godin (Athletico Madrid and Uruguay)
    7. Samuel Umtiti (Barcelona and France)
    8. Giorgio Chellini (Juventus and Italy)
    9. Jan Vertonghen (Tottenham Hotspurs and Belgium)
    10. Toby Alderweireld (Tottenham Hotspurs and Belgium)

    Meh, seems fair, don't it? De Ligt, Skrinniar and Romagnoli sure to be there someday, I guess.
    Pique the glaring omission, of course.

    1. El-Kloppico
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 15 days ago

      Surprised Bonucci is not in there ahead of Aldo.

    2. teneighty
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 15 days ago

      What about the mighty fir tree aka Andreas Granqvist!?

      Jan is on the list but doesn't even play as a centre back in the national team. Versatile (and good) player!

      1. Differential C (Mark)
        • 8 Years
        5 years, 15 days ago

        Penalty extraordinaire Granqvist, of course!

    3. Robson-Canoe
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 15 days ago

      Lindelof will be in there at this stage next season, mark my words

    4. SAKA AND EMILE SMITH ROWE

      Mustafi?

      1. Deulofail

        You are hilair

      2. Mysterion

        Misspelt Mustafi as Pique

      Not sure how much I value the opinion of some bloke at some website who has probably only seen half of these on FIFA.

    who will blank GW33 except for the confirmed Utd and Wolves?

    1. Differential C (Mark)
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 15 days ago

      CAR, MCI, TOT and BHA have a decent chance of a blank.

    2. Rainer
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 15 days ago

      City vs Cardiff will be a blank, if City beat Swansea.
      Spurs vs Brighton " " ", if Brighton beat Millwall.
      The winner of Watford vs Palace will blank in GW33.

        oh shoot.

        So me holding aguero for cardiff is pretty pointless?

        1. Rainer
          • 7 Years
          5 years, 15 days ago

          If City beat Swansea, the Cardiff game will be a double in 32.
          If they lose, the game stays in 33.

          Chip dependent hold/sell.

            great thanks. I'm using FH in 32 so I might shift aggy to vardy for -4 for this week

        Now this is comprehensive. Thank you.

    In general, what are most of the HOF players doing in terms of their chips? Has anyone paid enough attention to their squad values to know if anyone significant has activated it?

    1. Retro
      • 13 Years
      5 years, 15 days ago

      Well, I have finished in the top 1k twice and I've already used all my chips. But I'm a bit of a maverick!

      1. pressdpm
        • 11 Years
        5 years, 15 days ago

        Whereabouts are you placed at the minute mate?

        1. Retro
          • 13 Years
          5 years, 15 days ago

          Came in from 665k in December to 29k now, so quite happy. I figure if I can stay in top 100k by end of season I'll be happy.

            You're right around the same rank as me, best of luck!

    Guys,
    I have 10players for Gw31, with 1 FT to get my 11th player. But with Mitro among my 10players, i am tempted to go with 10 players and switch Mitro for Arnie or Wilson.
    What would you do?

    A. Get a def (Azpi maybe)
    B. Switch Mitro
    C. Take a hit and get 11 player without Mitro

    1. Differential C (Mark)
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 15 days ago

      C, I'd say. Callum Wilson is a decent shout, as is Vardy.
      Defender, I'd go for a LIV defender.

      1. El-Kloppico
        • 8 Years
        5 years, 15 days ago

        My team is as follows;
        Alisson
        Robbo - Diop - ...
        Salah - Richa - Fraser - Haz
        Mitro - Vardy - Rondon

        1. Differential C (Mark)
          • 8 Years
          5 years, 15 days ago

          Well, I since you already have Robbo and Alisson, I guess a CHE defender is a decent shout. Perhaps Emerson, but Azpi undoubtedly the better shout if you have the cash. Played very advance vs Wolves.

          Coin toss between Vardy/Wilson, all up to you.

          1. El-Kloppico
            • 8 Years
            5 years, 15 days ago

            Cheers m8.
            Yeah money no issue.. already have Vardy. Its between Arnie and Wilson for me.

    Captain Hazard. #WhateverItTakes

    1. Dr. Agabuse
      • 11 Years
      5 years, 15 days ago

      yes

  25. MikeBravo
    • 5 Years
    5 years, 15 days ago

    Any news on Lascelles?

    1. The Overthinker
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 15 days ago

      I read somewhere he is back in training

      1. MikeBravo
        • 5 Years
        5 years, 15 days ago

        Fingers crossed

  26. The Overthinker

    5 years, 15 days ago

    Wilson will be coming into my side this week so apologies in advance to anyone who owns him. He was in my squad for three Gameweeks this season (5, 6 and 7) when he scored zero goals. Once transferred-out, he scored 35 points over the next four games and started to do a salute celebration every time he scored just to rub salt in the wound. Watch him blank now for the rest of the season. Don’t say I didn’t warn you.

    A BIG F

    How do I have to deal with the Blanks and DGWs.

    I have all the chips and my WC.

    Which players should I avoid. What is my strategy here?

    Fab/Speroni

    TAA Kola Lindelof AWB Doherty

    Salah Pogba Maddison Sterling Brooks

    Higuain Jimenez Rashford

    2FT 0.5itb

    1-3-1. atm.

    is it stupid to use fh now. the team above looks set for GW32 and for GW33 i'll transfer out two Wolves/United.

    Or will I be missing other DGW players next GW32 that are not confirmed?

  28. Gudjohnsen
    • 7 Years
    5 years, 15 days ago

    Fabianski or Boruc in for Etheridge for -4?

    Allows me to field 11 players this gw.

    1. tokara
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 15 days ago

      of cos, for the long term

  29. FOMFF
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years
    5 years, 15 days ago

    To get me to 11 BGW players, please help:

    1. Etheridge & Jimi > Fabianski & Wilson
    2. Doherty and Son > TAA & Barnes/Wood (if this - which one?)

    Cheers!

    1. Gudjohnsen
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 15 days ago

      I did nr.1

    2. Robson-Canoe
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 15 days ago

      How can 2 get you to 11 players if you don't have a GK?
      I'd say 1.

      1. FOMFF
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        5 years, 15 days ago

        That's a very good point! Glad you noticed!

        Update:
        1. Doherty and Etheridge > Boruc and TAA
        2. Jimi and Etheridge > Wilson and Fabianski

        1. Robson-Canoe
          • 8 Years
          5 years, 15 days ago

          Absolutely 2 - no doubt

          1. FOMFF
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 8 Years
            5 years, 15 days ago

            Why so certain? Think pool could smash fulham

            1. Robson-Canoe
              • 8 Years
              5 years, 15 days ago

              Yes they could, no guarantee that TAA will be involved in the points though and they might even concede whereas Wilson's easily one of the most popular picks this GW. For me it's a no brainer tbh.

  30. Garlana
    • 9 Years
    5 years, 15 days ago

    Repost as this will be my biggest hit to date...need to be sure.

    Is a -12 here worthwhile considering its 3x gw 31/33 players?

    Current gw31 team:
    Boruc
    TAA, Robertson, perierra
    Salah, hazard, Fraser
    Rondon

    Plan:
    Out: Aguero, jiminez, camarasa
    In: vardy, Wilson, lanzini (punt)
