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.

      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?

  3. Sgt Frank Drebin

  5. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
    • 13 Years
    5 years, 14 days ago

    What's Wilson doing now?

    1. Fred54
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 14 days ago

      His best impression of Drake.

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

        Racist

    3. Hazz
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 14 days ago

      Judging by the FPL points on my screen, nothing.

    4. THE SHEEP HUNTERS
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 14 days ago

      Floating

  6. BIG TONES
    • 9 Years
    5 years, 14 days 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, 14 days ago

      exactly

    2. Gudjohnsen
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 14 days ago

      All flair no passion and commitment?

    3. Bada Bing
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 14 days 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, 14 days ago

    Can some of my players score some points please.

    1. tm245
      • 12 Years
      5 years, 14 days ago

      Appearance points will be huge.

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

    Arnie on pens

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

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

    2. Fred54
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 14 days ago

      If he lasts that long...

  9. The Tinkerman
    • 8 Years
    5 years, 14 days 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, 14 days ago

    Nasri on
    Noble off

    59'

  11. BIG TONES
    • 9 Years
    5 years, 14 days ago

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

    1. Salah’s Sonnet
      • 12 Years
      5 years, 14 days ago

      Could be Lanzini

  12. Rainer
    • 7 Years
    5 years, 14 days ago

    Anderson has hauled!

    He made 60'

    1. F_Ivanovic
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 14 days ago

      Lucky owners

  13. Differential C (Mark)
    • 8 Years
    5 years, 14 days ago

    Surely Solanke needs to come on soon?

    1. Rainer
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 14 days ago

      Bournemouth probably want to win.

      1. Differential C (Mark)
        • 8 Years
        5 years, 14 days ago

        Fair enough haha

  14. tisza
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years
    5 years, 14 days ago

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

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

      City could get knocked out

    2. The Tinkerman
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 14 days ago

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

    3. F_Ivanovic
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 14 days 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, 14 days ago

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

  15. Bubz
    • 10 Years
    5 years, 14 days ago

    Felipe Anderson is a disgrace

    1. diesel001
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 14 days ago

      At least he lasted 60 mins....

    2. Sim Simma
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      5 years, 14 days ago

      You still own him ?

      1. Bubz
        • 10 Years
        5 years, 14 days ago

        Yep

    3. Salah’s Sonnet
      • 12 Years
      5 years, 14 days ago

      Can’t wait to transfer him out

  16. Sim Simma
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member

  18. Jafooli

  19. DAZZ
    • 9 Years
    5 years, 14 days ago

    Anderson getting some grief from the west ham fans

    1. Salah’s Sonnet
      • 12 Years
      5 years, 14 days ago

      He deserves it

    2. Rainer
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 14 days ago

      Hardly a surprise.

  20. GREEN IS GOOD

    3. The 12th Man
      • 10 Years
      5 years, 14 days ago

      I’m going to make a cup of tea.

    4. g40steve
      • 6 Years

      This!

  21. Team Cruel
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years
    5 years, 14 days ago

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

  22. LewanGOALski
    • 12 Years
    5 years, 14 days 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, 14 days ago

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

      1. LewanGOALski
        • 12 Years
        5 years, 14 days ago

        No DGWs in 32?

        1. Lyonnais
          • 11 Years
          5 years, 14 days ago

          Oh thought they were going to 32 for sure

    2. F_Ivanovic
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 14 days 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, 14 days ago

    Come on Tielemans

  24. fedolefan
    • 9 Years

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