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.

    4. The Ejiptian King
      • 5 Years

      Would've been King assist, if Wilson had passed it'd have gone in.

    Right then Peeps, as you're all brighter than me...

    For those of us FHing next week (32), when's the best time to do it?
    Does it make any difference re-values rising/falling, or is it irrelevant as we essentially keep those assets?

      Now

      Your budget is determined at the time you Free Hit. So if you think you are going to suffer a lot of price falls then you Free Hit early to lock in the prices when you use the chip.

      Now

    4. The Tinkerman
      • 8 Years

      I'm waiting, since there are currently only 2DGW teams (Ben Crellin could be wrong, but whisper it quietly....)

  9. Bubz

    I’m screwed without Wilson and Fraser. Absolutely massive hauls coming to their owners here. Huge green arrows for you guys. Well played

    1. FPL Daniel
      • 14 Years

      Not done anything yet

  10. The Tinkerman
    • 8 Years
    5 years, 2 months ago

    Prediction:

    Leicester 1-0 win, Vardy on the break after winning ball high up the field.

  11. FPL Daniel

    Bournemouth all over Newcastle atm

        What ruined my weekend now

  13. Hooky
    • 9 Years

    I knew Quaner would come good.

  14. Jafooli
    • 12 Years
    5 years, 2 months ago

    No way Fraser or Wilson will score here, both useless picks. Red arrows for owners and massive price drops.

    1. TAT
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 2 months ago

      Just brought them in, so that wouldn't be surprising.

  15. Plymouth

    For once trying to differentiate with Maguire over Pereira/Chilwell, ofc gets punished

  16. Sim Simma

    is LiveFPL down due to FPL being down ?

    1. Rainer
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 2 months ago

      Slower update from Live because of slower FPL update.

    2. how now brown cow
      • 9 Years

      Assume they all hit fpl APIs to get data, so most likely.

    3. Team Cruel
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 2 months ago

      Of course, they kind of get their data from FPL.
