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.

    The Watford win means I've now got 13 players will a game in blank GW33, how are the rest of you looking for that GW ?

    Seen a lot of Free Hits on here today, am I the only one that saved it for GW32?

    1. _Ninja_
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Most are playing it 32

    2. diesel001
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      No. Loads have saved for GW32. Just that if you FH in GW31 then you are more likely to post because you want to nail it.

    3. bitm2007
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      No there was a poll on here earlier this week that suggested that around a third of us will be using FH in GW32.

      Got fh and bench boost still 🙂

    Quick, someone screenshot Mark's team before any goals go in.

    Not sure my Rival has looked at his this week. Has 6 playing, Aguero capt and Mane VC

  12. Champ

    Pornhub has 100% up time

      Society would collapse if it didn't.

  13. Emiliano Sala

    did you know there is a "xande silva" in westham fpl list ?

    1. diesel001
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Yes.

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

    Mark also took a -12. Great minds 😯

    1. Yank Revolution
      • 12 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      We're a rare breed

  15. Tsparkes10

    5 years, 1 month ago

    How can I tell if my Rival has used his FH?

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

      If you can't tell then chances are he didn't use it.

      1. Tsparkes10
        • 5 Years
        5 years, 1 month ago

        Hahaha yh he did. Just realised

    2. Drop Dead Tsimikas
      • 12 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Says so right above his team.

  16. Drop Dead Tsimikas
    • 12 Years
    5 years, 1 month ago

    So has GW32 been confirmed as having 11 matches?

    1. bitm2007
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      At the moment but that is likely to rise to 15 (or maybe 14)

      1. Drop Dead Tsimikas
        • 12 Years
        5 years, 1 month ago

        That makes more sense now, thanks.

  17. Rainer

    Benchwankers absolutely everywhere!

    1. Now I'm Panicking
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      "Bench" not needed in that sentence

  18. Bobby Digital
    • 6 Years
    5 years, 1 month ago

    Team looks too good for FH.. I have to bench Diop (EVE) and Rondon (ars) as it is...

  19. SEXY SOLO SAUCE
    • 7 Years
    5 years, 1 month ago

    This don't look right. Most of my rivals in MLs haven't played FH or made transfers despite having only 4 or 5 players?

  20. FPL Maldini
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years
    5 years, 1 month ago

    Best to activate FH chip now or wait?

    Going to use it in 32 regardless

    1. FPL Daniel
      • 14 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Now

    2. bitm2007
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Now to catch the price rises, unless you have some doubts about using it this GW.

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

      There will be a few rises but actually involving players without best fixtures week 32. For example Pogba and jiminez falling in price from my team but actually they are probably top two players I want this week so I’ll just have to accept the fall

  21. BONZ
    • 14 Years
    5 years, 1 month ago

    Free Hit Chip in full use this week - may bite in GW33 but needing to see a green arrow then put plans in place for the run in!

  22. Drop Dead Tsimikas
    • 12 Years
    5 years, 1 month ago

    One of my rivals did a FH this week, then promptly benched Lanzini home to HUD.

  23. Tsparkes10
    • 5 Years
    5 years, 1 month ago

    Lovely. I took a - 12 hit and look good for next 3 gws. One of my rivals made no changes, has 6 playing Inc Mane as VC and Aguero C. Other played his freehit so may be fooked for next week and 33. Time to climbbb 🙂

    1. Mo Mané Mo Problems
      • 10 Years

      You are losing to them?!

      1. Tsparkes10
        • 5 Years
        5 years, 1 month ago

        I know. Poor. They've used chips though, I haven't so plenty of time.

    2. Moorinho
      • 10 Years

      Your rivals kinda suck lol

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

      You have no clarity in your decision making. Just don't see how you beat him.

    4. FPL Daniel
      • 14 Years

      "rivals"

  24. FPL Daniel
    • 14 Years
    5 years, 1 month ago

    Come oooooon Arnie!!!

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

      And Lanzini!!! Anyone else have him?

      1. FPL Daniel
        • 14 Years
        5 years, 1 month ago

        You can cheer for Lanz. Fair enough if you own him

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

          Link up play? Goal and assist for both!

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

      Anderson! you never know

  25. FPL Daniel
    • 14 Years
    5 years, 1 month ago

    Anyone activated the FH already?

    Thinking of doing it and bringing Sterling and Kun already.

    Thoughts?

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

      Wait, shocking result on City's game might change the strategy.

    2. bitm2007
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      If you are set on using it, why not activate it now ? The prices of the players you want are only likely to rise.

  26. SEXY SOLO SAUCE
    • 7 Years

    COME ON ARNOLD!!!

    1. FPL Daniel
      • 14 Years

  27. mgilbert86
    • 11 Years

    Any games for Aguero or Jiménez i should wait and see b4 GW 32?

  28. La Roja
    • 12 Years

    Sort yourself out Arnie

  29. Chrisscfc
    • 10 Years
    5 years, 1 month ago

    Does GW32 have the chance of any further games other than Spurs V Palace? Unsure whether to FH for this week or save it

    Pereira looking dangers!
