Fraser comes through injury doubt for Blank Gameweek

After coming into Saturday with a yellow flag, Ryan Fraser (£6.2m) has started Bournemouth’s Blank Gameweek 31 fixture.

The Scottish international has been deployed on the left flank, while David Brooks (£5.1m) is in central midfield.

As expected, Callum Wilson (£6.5m) and Josh King (£6.5m) lead the Cherries attack.

Without Fabian Schär (£4.7m) and Jamaal Lascelles (£4.7m) at the back, Federico Fernandez (£4.4m) and Paul Dummett (£4.4m) come into Newcastle’s five-man defence.

With Sean Longstaff (£4.5m) still out long-term, it’s Mo Diamé (£4.8m) who sits alongside Isaac Hayden (£4.4m) in central midfield.

As expected, Salomón Rondón (£5.9m) leads the attack, flanked by Ayoze Pérez (£6.1m) and Miguel Almirón (£6.0m).

Johann Berg Gudmundsson (£5.5m) comes back into the Burnley side for Jeff Hendrick (£5.2m), with Dwight McNeil (£4.4m) retaining his starting berth on the left of midfield.

Ashley Barnes (£5.7m) and Chris Wood (£6.2m) lead the Burnley attack.

Demarai Gray (£5.4m) gets the nod for Leicester as they arrive at Turf Moor, while Harvey Barnes (£5.5m), James Maddison (£6.8m) and Youri Tielemans (£6.0m) also earn a place in midfield behind Jamie Vardy (£9.1m).

Meanwhile, there are three changes for West Ham which could boost the potential for Felipe Anderson (£7.2m).

The Brazilian keeps his place in the side while Robert Snodgrass (£5.0m), who has taken set pieces off him recently, drops to the bench to be replaced by Michail Antonio (£6.8m).

Meanwhile, Marko Arnautovic (£6.9m) comes in for Javier ‘Chicharito’ Hernandez (£6.1m) and Pablo Zabaleta (£4.3m) starts ahead of Ryan Fredericks (£4.5m).

Bournemouth XI: Boruc; Clyne, Mepham, Aké, Daniels; Lerma; Ibe, Fraser; Brooks; Wilson, King.

Newcastle XI: Dubravka; Yedlin, Federico Fernández, Lejeune, Dummett, Ritchie; Ayoze Pérez, Diamé, Hayden, Almirón; Rondón.

Burnley XI: Heaton; Bardsley, Tarkowski, Mee, Taylor; Johann Gudmundsson, Westwood, Cork, McNeil; Barnes, Wood.

Leicester XI: Schmeichel; Ricardo Pereira, Evans, Maguire, Chilwell; Ndidi; Gray, Tielemans, Maddison, Barnes; Vardy.

West Ham XI: Fabianski; Cresswell, Diop, Ogbonna, Zabaleta; Noble, Rice; Anderson, Antonio, Lanzini; Arnautovic.

Huddersfield XI: Lossl, Smith, Kongolo, Bacuna, Mooy, Lowe, Grant, Pritchard, Stankovic, Durm, Rowe.

    Shocking weather conditions at Turf Moor. Burnley 1-0 incoming.

      0-0 would serve me well.

      More transfers than normal plus free hits. Wouldn't know why that means it takes longer haha

      I know, mate. They're f**king sh*t

    So far the only confirmed DGW32 teams are Wolves and United, correct?

    Not making transfers until I know more. Might lose .1m on Hazard, but hey ho.

    Any news on whether Mane has travelled?

      Loads

      No

    Zidane drops Courtois straight away. No nonsense manager.

      Almost makes sense sticking with/going back to the 3 in a row keeper... Some things didn't need fixing 🙂

        The signing never made sense. They needed to replace Ronaldo, not the goalie.

        1. el polako

          5 years, 1 month ago

          You cant simply replace the GOAT, but I get what you saying.

        2. Rainer
          • 7 Years

          Just a Real poster boy signing.

          Hazard & (maybe) Kane would be a good start in replacing Ronaldo, this summer.

    Update already...

    Wilson to be the Bournemouth DGW hero. Just like Josh King was before him.

    1. Pras (FPL)

      Both?

  10. reo19uk

    Is it just me or are updates taking longer and longer on the FPL site?

    1. SADIO SANÉ
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      probably something to do with the Utd-Wolves DGWs

    If you play the free hit now for GW32, does your free transfer carry over to GW33?

    If not does that mean you essentially lose a free transfer unless you use it before playing the free hit?

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

      You lose it.

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

      You lose an FT whether you use it before the FH or not. FH will wipe out your transfer and your team will revert to the one you had this week, with one FT

    I have fh, wc & bb left. I don't really need to fh gw32, is fh33, wc34, bb35 the only obvious option or will there be futher dgws after 35 ?

    1. gaurava1216

      How have you navigated 31 and not required to FH 32??

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

        9 players gw31 but held Pogba Shaw & Jimenez for the dgw 32

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

          There will be plenty more dgw fixtures.

      The website is just down for me now 😀 I get the following plain text:

        same

  25. NATSTER
    • 13 Years
    5 years, 1 month ago

    If FH was played in GW32, I understand that our team will look like what we have in GW31 when GW33 starts.

    One quick question about price changes.

    Is it correct that the rise and drop of our players' price will be like we haven't done any transfer between the start to end of GW32?

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

        Thank you very much.

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

      Yes, when the team reverts back.

      With FH active, you can remove fallers and benefit from the 0.1m for that week only.
