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.

      taking antonio off instead of him was daft

      shd have kept antonio on got snoddy on and get some good deliveries in and get arnie and antonio to win headers

    3. The Ejiptian King

      His workrate couldn't be faulted earlier in the season, I wonder what changed?

    What's Wilson doing now?

    1. Fred54
      • 9 Years

      His best impression of Drake.

      1. Team Cruel

        5 years, 1 month ago

        Racist

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

      Judging by the FPL points on my screen, nothing.

    4. THE SHEEP HUNTERS
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Floating

  6. BIG TONES
    • 9 Years
    5 years, 1 month ago

    How did Felipe go off the boil so much since Xmas? Rigours of the PL starting to wear him down?

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

      exactly

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

      All flair no passion and commitment?

    3. Bada Bing
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      He's probably agitating for a move to a warmer climate. He hasn't looked vaguely interested in playing for months now.

  7. Twisted Saltergater
    • 14 Years
    5 years, 1 month ago

    Can some of my players score some points please.

    1. tm245
      • 12 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Appearance points will be huge.

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

    Arnie on pens

    1. Hect.OR 98th
      • 14 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Will probably miss one then get a RC for thumping a fan.

    2. Fred54
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      If he lasts that long...

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

    I actually gained rank whilst selling City and United players for this GW, thankfully.

    Because this is absolutely appalling. Brooks and Vardy my only real hopes for today with Fabianski, Anderson and Chilwell also out there.

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

    Nasri on
    Noble off

    59'

  11. BIG TONES
    • 9 Years
    5 years, 1 month ago

    Noble off. Now Arnie is on pens! hah, hopeful

    1. Salah’s Sonnet
      • 12 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Could be Lanzini

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

    Anderson has hauled!

    He made 60'

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

      Lucky owners

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

    Surely Solanke needs to come on soon?

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

      Bournemouth probably want to win.

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

        Fair enough haha

  14. tisza
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    Brain freeze.
    FH in GW 32.Any down side to activating it now?

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

      City could get knocked out

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

      We dont know for sure there are any DGW fixtures yet, aside from Wolves and United.

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

      No. Even in above scenarios you'll still want it for this week to bring in City players for Fulham and United/Wolves for the DGW

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

      So optimum time is after Cup games completed or draw completed?

  15. Bubz
    • 10 Years
    5 years, 1 month ago

    Felipe Anderson is a disgrace

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

      At least he lasted 60 mins....

    2. Sim Simma
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      You still own him ?

      1. Bubz
        • 10 Years

        Yep

    3. Salah’s Sonnet
      • 12 Years

  19. DAZZ
    • 9 Years

    Anderson getting some grief from the west ham fans

    1. Salah’s Sonnet
      • 12 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      He deserves it

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

      I’m going to make a cup of tea.

    4. g40steve

  21. Team Cruel
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years

    I'm about to go from -5 to 2. Exciting times!

  22. LewanGOALski
    • 12 Years
    5 years, 1 month ago

    Which teams may have a DGW32 ?

    I lose 0.3 SV tonight, so thinking to risk it and hit Free Hit button alrrady

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

      What's the risk in hitting the FH button tonight?

      1. LewanGOALski
        • 12 Years
        5 years, 1 month ago

        No DGWs in 32?

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

          Oh thought they were going to 32 for sure

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

      How does losing value tonight do anything? You'll have them players back after FH anyway and will have still lost that team value...

  23. The 12th Man
    • 10 Years
    5 years, 1 month ago

    Come on Tielemans

  24. fedolefan
    • 9 Years

    Basically all we needed this gameweek was triple Liverpool and maybe 1-2 Chelsea players.

    XI | Ederson, Walker, Otamendi, Laporte, Delph, Gundogan, Silva (C), Bernardo, Sane, Mahrez, G Jesus.

    SUBS | Muric, Danilo, Sterling, Aguero, Zinchenko, Foden, Garcia.
