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, 2 months 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
    • 6 Years
    5 years, 2 months 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, 2 months ago

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

  13. Planet Head
    • 7 Years
    5 years, 2 months ago

    Nice Thanos reference

  14. Pukki Party
    • 6 Years
    5 years, 2 months ago

  15. FPL_DON
    • 9 Years
    5 years, 2 months ago

    Price no object

    Best defender to get for next 2 blanks?

    1. Pukki Party
      • 6 Years

      Robertson

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

  16. HairlessGrealish
    • 6 Years
    5 years, 2 months ago

    Bring in Pereira, Chilwell or Ake..?

    1. Pukki Party
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 2 months ago

      Chilwell

    2. Shteve
      • 14 Years

      Pereira

  17. UnitednationsXI
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    5 years, 2 months 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, 2 months 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, 2 months ago

      Correct

      1. Pompel
        • 10 Years
        5 years, 2 months ago

        txs

    2. Ron_Swanson
      • 13 Years
      5 years, 2 months ago

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

      1. snowman
        • 14 Years
        5 years, 2 months ago

        Extra time ?

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

        Can’t draw, played to a finish today.

          • 13 Years

  19. Maarrrr17
    • 8 Years
    5 years, 2 months ago

    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, 2 months ago

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

  20. L'Aeroplanino
    • 7 Years
    5 years, 2 months ago

    1-1

    1. Hazz
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years

  21. manu4life99
    • 14 Years
    5 years, 2 months ago

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

    Plan is FH32, WC34, BB35

    1. George James
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 2 months ago

      I’m doing it. Sod it.

      Have 9 players in -12 🙂

    2. Tsparkes10
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 2 months ago

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

  22. Scotty B
    • 12 Years
    5 years, 2 months ago

    James Maddison last 14 PL games:-

    0 goals, 4 assists

  23. Crouching Tiger
    • 11 Years
    5 years, 2 months ago

    So, any Mane news yet? Time is running out

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

      No news is good news I would think

    2. Bojaninho
      • 14 Years
      5 years, 2 months ago

      Don’t think you get anything

    3. Bushman
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 2 months 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, 2 months 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, 2 months ago

          Probably gonna stick with Mane but have armband on Salah.

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

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

    Already on -4

  25. Bushman
    • 8 Years
    5 years, 2 months 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, 2 months ago

      Good to go

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

      Looks good to me.

  26. Thunder Warrior
    • 9 Years
    5 years, 2 months ago

    Kepa or Schmeichel?

  27. Fantasy Gold
    • 9 Years
    5 years, 2 months ago

    Great character.

    1. NIKO.
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 2 months ago

      Lol

  28. The Blackadder
    • 11 Years
    5 years, 2 months ago

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

    1. waitinginthelonggrass
      • 13 Years
      5 years, 2 months 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, 2 months ago

    assuming both start, Higuain or Arnie?

    1. waitinginthelonggrass
      • 13 Years
      5 years, 2 months ago

      Hig

    2. Bushman
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 2 months 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, 2 months ago

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

  30. Shteve
    • 14 Years
    5 years, 2 months 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, 2 months ago

      no replays

      1. Shteve
        • 14 Years
        5 years, 2 months ago

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

    2. Gizzachance
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 2 months ago

      extra time an pens now

      1. Shteve
        • 14 Years
        5 years, 2 months ago
