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.

    FH question?

    If I hit it now am I right in thinking my team returns at original price of players; meaning Kun, Doherty & Pogba back without tonight’s drop?

          Pretty much. If you have a tinker before you activate and see that you are comfortable price-wise you might as well wait until the extra fixtures are confirmed, in case there are surprises.

          You don’t get to keep the price rises obviously, but you can get price rises ‘during the week’ of your FH chip to increase your team value ‘in the week’

          I think you should read the hot topic 😉

          You make money within the week, which could make 0.1 of difference to getting the players you want in your final FH team. Yes fine margins, and yes this money disappears at the end of the week but whatever. Only reason Mane isn’t in my team is I was 0.1 short 3 weeks ago, so I’m not gonna discount the benefit.

      Is there a correlation between weather conditions and goals scored?

    Biggest points hit this season, took 12pts, and gave Mane the TC with Salah VC. Loaded up on Bournemouth as I'm FH next week and their upcoming fixtures look good. Fingers massively crossed!

          I’m assuming that as the game hasn’t updated yet we should all continue posting insipid comments about how annoying it is (for whatever reason) with the expectation that one of those comments will duly make the game immediately update.

          That’s right, isn’t it?
