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.

    Bench one:-
    A Maddison
    B Richarlison

    Have doubts over Mane and Higuain so they could come in anyway if one doesn't play

    1. Nas
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Maddison

    2. EvertonSteve1983

      As an Everton fan. Don't use Richy, out of form

  3. boroie
    • 5 Years

    A - Anderson, Daniels
    B - Fraser, Rice

    If you had to pick one defender for 31/33 other than liverpool players who would you get?

    1. how now brown cow
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Chelsea. Luiz

    2. Finnish Fish
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Azpi

  5. ElliotJHP
    • 11 Years

    AWB out for Diop for - 4 Y or N

    1. gaurava1216
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      yes

  6. Finnish Fish
    • 5 Years
    5 years, 1 month ago

    Any news on Higuain?

    1. The Tinkerman
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Confirmed fit by the club.

  7. fedolefan
    • 9 Years
    5 years, 1 month ago

    Guaita is such a liability. Really doubt he gets in the team again.

  8. Nas
    • 7 Years
    5 years, 1 month ago

    -4 for Fabianski? Or play with 10 men and hope guaita is back for gw33?

    1. Finnish Fish
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      same dilemma, ill stick with Guaita for now i guess...

    2. GREEN IS GOOD
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      I'd play 10

    3. ElliotJHP
      • 11 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      I'm gonna stick pal. Palace have Huddersfield home next anyway and can just transfer then

  9. rowdog24
    • 5 Years
    5 years, 1 month ago

    King or Arnie? They'd start alongside Vardy and Wilson.

    1. J ⚒ Gimme ur Mané
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Arnie

    2. fkmzcgp
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      I've got the same front 2 and im going Arnie

      1. rowdog24
        • 5 Years
        5 years, 1 month ago

        King has better fixture in 33 though no?

    3. Finnish Fish
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Arnie

    4. DandyDon
      • 5 Years

      Arnie. Could be big points this week

  10. Team Cruel
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years
    5 years, 1 month ago

    Fraser starting?

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

      We’ll know in 9 minutes

  11. Rainer
    • 7 Years
    5 years, 1 month ago

    The one week a game result would be helpful before a deadline and of course its 1-1 😀

    1. Nas
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      1. Sim Simma
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years

    2. Sim Simma
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years

    3. DandyDon
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      2-1!

  12. mash
    • 11 Years
    5 years, 1 month ago

    AWB to Ake worth a -4? Would mean I have 11 players for GW 31 and 33. Have budget to go up to Azpi or Rice as well, though would mean triple up for the teams of those two.

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

      Yes I would do it

  13. fenixri
    • 7 Years
    5 years, 1 month ago

    TC Activated on Salah

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

      Same. GL pal

  14. Srv210
    • 6 Years
    5 years, 1 month ago

    Anybody captain mane while having Salah??

    1. FER FUSCH AKE
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      I'm a sheep, tend to follow the crowd. so salah it is even if I have both. Gotta protect that rank. I've been working for it all season.

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

      Captained haz with salah and mane 😀

  15. pundit of punts
    • 11 Years
    5 years, 1 month ago

    Need to buy 1 defender and one midfielder. Money no issue.

    Can't be Liverpool, West Ham and Hazard.

    Any ideas?

    1. FER FUSCH AKE
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

  16. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐

      True. As for why he didn't train, no one knows.

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

      True. He wasn’t in any of the 50+ training photos on the LFC website.

    6. Fitzy.
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

    7. Sim Simma
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years

      Training pitch Pics. Mane may have been the photographer

  26. FDMS All Starz
    • 8 Years
    5 years, 1 month ago

  27. davies
    • 9 Years
    5 years, 1 month ago

  28. jernej93
    • 9 Years
    5 years, 1 month ago
