FPL Lunch Club – Blank Gameweek 31 arrives

Dread it. Run from it. Blank Gameweek 31 arrives all the same. And now, it’s here.

The depleted round of fixtures that we have been planning for (or not) for weeks is now just minutes away, with the 2pm deadline looming large.

To usher us into the first cluster of matches are Joe and David with a special edition of Breakfast Club, brought to you on your lunch instead.

From 1:45 pm we will be live on our YouTube channel discussing our Blank Gameweek 31 plans, and you can also watch in the embedded link in the article below.

Then at 2 pm we will bring you the team news from the three matches taking place at 3pm.

  10. Pique and De Bruyne
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 7 Years
    5 years, 1 month ago

    This look gtg?

    Boruc
    Pereira / Maguire / TAA / Rice
    Salah(c) / Mane / Fraser / Anderson
    Vardy / Wilson

    Guaita / Aguero / Pogba / Doherty

    Took a couple of hits to get so if there’s any issues eg Fraser, no Chelsea or Mane maybe injured could use f/h to sort it out, thoughts appreciated.

  11. JBG

    5 years, 1 month ago

    For all us hitting that FH button for next gameweek. Should we do it as soon as this GW is done, so we don't get priced out of price rises? Or is the no point in doing that?

  12. Gustavo
    • 7 Years
    5 years, 1 month ago

    Curently have 8 players for gw31. Should i do Kola —> Luiz (-8) to field 9?

  13. Planet Head
    • 7 Years
    5 years, 1 month ago

    Nice Thanos reference

  14. Pukki Party
    • 6 Years

  15. FPL_DON
    • 9 Years

    Price no object

    Best defender to get for next 2 blanks?

    1. Pukki Party

      Robertson

    2. kysersosa
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

  16. HairlessGrealish
    • 6 Years
    5 years, 1 month ago

    Bring in Pereira, Chilwell or Ake..?

    1. Pukki Party
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Chilwell

    2. Shteve
      • 14 Years

      Pereira

  17. UnitednationsXI
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    5 years, 1 month ago

    Right guys, please help. Best combo here?

    - already have TAa and King FYI

    A: Robbo + Wilson...means loosing Lascelles who might have a gw33 fixture

    B: Fraser + Vardy/Arnie

    C: Maddison + Wilson

    D: Wilson + Vardy...means loosing 0.2m on Jimenez who I would want for FH32

  18. Pompel
    • 10 Years
    5 years, 1 month ago

    Just to be sure I've understood correctly- Newcastle will have a game in GW33 if Watford beats Palace?

    1. Syd.
      • 14 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Correct

      1. Pompel
        • 10 Years
        5 years, 1 month ago

        txs

    2. Ron_Swanson
      • 13 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Yes. But I'm not sure what happens if it finishes a draw?

      1. snowman
        • 14 Years
        5 years, 1 month ago

        Extra time ?

      2. Pique and De Bruyne
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 7 Years
        5 years, 1 month ago

        Can’t draw, played to a finish today.

    I only have 6 playing,
    I have all my chips left but no FT this week.

    Fab

    TAA

    Mane, salah, anderson

    Barnes

    Why shouldn't I use FH this week?

    1. BIGREDDOG
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Should do it.. Or take hits also give you gw33 players. And FH 32

  20. L'Aeroplanino

  21. manu4life99
    • 14 Years
    5 years, 1 month ago

    Pros and Cons on TC Salah this week (all chips available).

    Plan is FH32, WC34, BB35

    1. George James
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      I’m doing it. Sod it.

      Have 9 players in -12 🙂

    2. Tsparkes10
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Pros. It's Fulham.
      Cons. It's salah

  22. Scotty B
    • 11 Years
    5 years, 1 month ago

    James Maddison last 14 PL games:-

    0 goals, 4 assists

  23. Crouching Tiger
    • 11 Years
    5 years, 1 month ago

    So, any Mane news yet? Time is running out

    1. Ron_Swanson
      • 13 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      No news is good news I would think

    2. Bojaninho
      • 14 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Don’t think you get anything

    3. Bushman
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      I can’t see anything so I’m going to stick with Mane but not captain him. What are you doing?

      1. Crouching Tiger
        • 11 Years
        5 years, 1 month ago

        On a free hit and trying to figure out whether I should get someone else for my 3rd 'pool spot.

        1. Crouching Tiger
          • 11 Years
          5 years, 1 month ago

          Probably gonna stick with Mane but have armband on Salah.

        2. Pique and De Bruyne
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 7 Years
          5 years, 1 month ago

          On a free hit you might as well do it or make sure you’ve got a decent sub if he doesn’t play.

  24. Bojaninho
    • 14 Years
    5 years, 1 month ago

    Bring in a Defender for -4 Luiz for 31 and 33 to give me 10 playing?

    Already on -4

  25. Bushman
    • 7 Years
    5 years, 1 month ago

    Fab
    Rice Robbo Luiz
    Haz Mane (VC) Salah (C) Fraser
    Vardy Arnie Wilson

    Brooks Azpilicueta Stankovic

    What do you think folks?

    1. The Pesci challenge
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Good to go

    2. Pique and De Bruyne
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Looks good to me.

  26. Thunder Warrior
    • 9 Years
    5 years, 1 month ago

    Kepa or Schmeichel?

  27. Fantasy Gold
    • 9 Years
    5 years, 1 month ago

    Great character.

    1. NIKO.
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Lol

  28. The Blackadder
    • 11 Years
    5 years, 1 month ago

    Is it worth a -4 for Kolasinac to Rice? Can’t decide?

    1. waitinginthelonggrass
      • 13 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      It’s a risk. You need Rice to keep a clean sheet or score

  29. internal error
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years
    5 years, 1 month ago

    assuming both start, Higuain or Arnie?

    1. waitinginthelonggrass
      • 13 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Hig

    2. Bushman
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      I’ve just done Hig to Arnie as Eve have been quite tight recently

    3. MeinBergkampf
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Bookmakers have Arnie more likely to score, I brought him in for Hig on FH this morning.

  30. Shteve
    • 14 Years
    5 years, 1 month ago

    What the likely effect on PL games if any of the PL teams draw in the FA cup?

    1. Gizzachance
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      no replays

      1. Shteve
        • 14 Years
        5 years, 1 month ago

        Oh yeah, no replays so ET and penos if needed this round

    2. Gizzachance
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      extra time an pens now

      1. Shteve
        • 14 Years
        5 years, 1 month ago
