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.

    On a free hit. Should I transfer Mane out for Robbo for example if he's out injured?
