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.

    Ryan Fraser (Bournemouth) is clearly asking for some medical attention with his painful gestures. The extent of his injury is yet to be discovered. 🙁

      Mark didn't get him. I mean how on the earth he can know this kind of things?

        5 years, 1 month ago

        no, will bring just those who are going up and sell those who fall

    2. tucaoneo

      Wait until Man City beat Swansea.

    3. WVA

        • 8 Years
        5 years, 1 month ago

      - Changing your mind
      - A player you sell rises for a 0.1m gain before you ship.
      - DGWs suddenly not GW32 for whatever reason

      That's all. All unlikely.

    5. Amey
      • 5 Years

      Wait till dgw fixtures announcement.
      Can do transfer's though.
      Get player's that may rise twice before deadline.
      FH/WC can be decided later

    I've broken Fraser again. All his blanks have been in my starting XI.

    Fraser Injured

  13. andrewe63
    • 12 Years
    5 years, 1 month ago

    Ryan Fraser (Bournemouth) seems to have picked up a minor injury, but it looks like he will be able to continue playing

  14. Rains of Castamere
    • 9 Years
    5 years, 1 month ago

    Fraser back on but running gingerly. Doesn't look good.

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

    Is Fraser alright?

    1. Rains of Castamere
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Hopefully he can run it off but hobbling at the mo

    2. Barca_Rover
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      not moving freely

  16. Gobigorgohome
    • 12 Years
    5 years, 1 month ago

    Fraser limping 🙁

  17. andrewe63
    • 12 Years
    5 years, 1 month ago

    The players claim that Salomon Rondon (Newcastle Utd) handled the ball inside the box and it seems they are right.

  18. mgilbert86
    • 11 Years
    5 years, 1 month ago

    Lukaku for gw 32 anyone?

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

      Prefer Aguero, Sterling and Hazard as big hitters.

      1. mgilbert86
        • 11 Years
        5 years, 1 month ago

        Swansea win confirms city dgw?

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

    Why did I take a hit for Fraser. Should have just played Punchon instead.

  20. DAZZ
    • 9 Years
    5 years, 1 month ago

    Fraser going off, ideal

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

      I'd be happy, but doesn't help Wilson either.

  21. Bouncebackability
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    5 years, 1 month ago

    Fraser is toast. Surely going off looking at him.

  22. twoplustwo
    • 9 Years
    5 years, 1 month ago

    Fraser looks like he's coming off here...

  23. Royal5

    1. Fred54
      • 9 Years

      Fraser too.

    2. Amey
      • 5 Years

    Tough season. FH this week not looking good so far and will need hits to get a decent team next week. Worst season I've had by far but still hooked.

  27. mgilbert86
    • 11 Years

  28. fusen

    it looks like FPL re-opened the website before actually processing all players.

    You can't load the teams of some high ID players still

    1. Konig Luther
      • 11 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      I still can't acess to my team for example

  29. Jafooli

  30. HD7
    • 7 Years
    5 years, 1 month ago

    For FH 32
    A) Ryan and Laporte
    B) Ederson and Dunk/Duffy
