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.

            Was on Mane TC! Just went straight Mane.

      Wow. Scary for those without him

      This has to be a record

      Wtf

      What a differential your grav is - please let it be so.

      1. Mysterion
        • 6 Years

        6% 😮 incredible

    Even though I own Fabs, not too sickened about that. Im just relieved that I didnt decide to double up WHU defence for a hit!

    1. Pierce34
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Haha given their record there was no way I was going to get a defender. Happy Fabianski owner now given the number of people who doubled up, let's see a Huddersfield masterclass and some saves now!

      1. Differential C (Mark)
        • 8 Years
        5 years, 1 month ago

        Fabs was always an option for those Saves!

    2. YEAH PITCH!
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Me too.

    3. how now brown cow
      • 9 Years

      People were talking of tripling last night and I just laughed.

    Scout picks defensive double up rarely results in clean sheets.

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

    Why Arnie didn't take that penalty?

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

      Noble always takes pens

    2. IRBOX ⚽
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Noble

    3. Top Lad Dakes.
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Cos he doesn’t take them

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

        I thought he is the no 1. One of the reasons I brought him in for a hit. Still time for him to explode. Here is hope

    4. soup natsi
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      he's not the main pen taker

    5. Cilly Bonnolly
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Noble's always been their penalty taker.

  6. Bury94
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 6 Years
    5 years, 1 month ago

    Anyone else struggling to look at other people's teams?

    1. F_Ivanovic
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Yeah FPL going slow in general and liverankFPL down

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

      Yes, especially when they have loads of points…

      No, can't access any teams at the moment.

    3. ivanthemerciless

      Yeah same here

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

    Salah captained by 80% of the Top 10k.

    1. Bury94
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Hoping TC can be a differential

  8. F_Ivanovic
    • 8 Years
    5 years, 1 month ago

    West Ham defence was definitely worth the hit...

  9. BIGREDDOG
    • 6 Years
    5 years, 1 month ago

    Hudds sacking their manager was such a bad decision

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

      Wagner looked like one of those young genius managers that gets you results with the worst of players. What’s left now is only a Championship level squad.

  10. YEAH PITCH!
    • 5 Years
    5 years, 1 month ago

    So free hit...

    Better to activate tomorrow once Aguero, Pogba etc have gone down in price?

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

      Yes. If you think that is what will happen.

    2. TRIPOS TOPPER
      • 6 Years

      it's more about the SGW players going up tonight

      e.g. Mane

      You can make transfers free up to the deadline so makes no difference

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

    Just saw the penalty given. Terrible call imo...
