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.

    Good week not to have taken hits so far.

    Said this last weekend.

    King and Wilson swap hauls every other week. Last week it was Wilson’s week, kind of knew this weekend it would be King’s turn.

    Wilson owners get theirs again next GW.

      fairly sure that isn't any sort of actual rule. pure coincidence, sure

    2. Richd
      • 11 Years
      5 years, 14 days ago

      It was a coin flip between them.

      I don’t believe there’s a pattern though. That’s ridiculous

  14. Rainer

    One more King, you're good for a blank hatty.

  15. Mr. Sitter
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 7 Years

    Going for King over Wilson is working out pretty well so far 🙂

  16. umerlfc
    • 8 Years
    5 years, 14 days ago

    Amd I was considering Harvey and Ashley Barnes as decent differentials for me..

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

    What a FH

    Fraser playing, Maddison benched
    Benched Taylor
    Double WHU defence - Rice and Fab
    Took out Ogbonna to fund Rondón to Arnie
    Went for Wilson over King

    Epic.

    1. i am jose mourinho
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 14 days ago

      Is this the real life?
      Is this just fantasy ?

  18. aborg
    • 6 Years
    5 years, 14 days ago

    Bring in King and Wilson scores....bring in Wilson and King scores. Thought this would happen.

    1. George Sillett
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 14 days ago

      If you thought this would happen why did you pick Wilson ?

      1. aborg
        • 6 Years
        5 years, 14 days ago

        If I brought in King then Wilson would have scored hehe

  19. XabiAlonso
    • 8 Years
    5 years, 14 days ago

    Can't wait to sell Felipe unbelievably bad buy

    1. Danstoke82
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 14 days ago

      Agreed.

  20. SAKA AND EMILE SMITH ROWE
    • 7 Years
    5 years, 14 days ago

    Doing woefully but relieved I didn’t FH

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

      Doing woefully but glad I played FH, I'm up at least 10 points so far.

  21. Eytexi
    • 5 Years
    5 years, 14 days ago

    14 from 7, no Salah & sold King for Wilson to avoid burning FT. Not fun.

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

      At least you're above the GW average with 14 points.

      Spent over a month planning for this week, and I have 9 (no hits).

      1. Eytexi
        • 5 Years
        5 years, 14 days ago

        Probably wont be when Salah hauls tomorrow 🙁

  22. Man Getting Hit By Football
    • 6 Years
    5 years, 14 days ago

    Aguero rested before a two week rest before a potential double gameweek against Fulham & Cardiff.

    His main competition Jesus plays today before two international & a lot of air miles.

  23. LeicesterA
    • 9 Years
    5 years, 14 days ago

    5 blanks today. Let’s hope tomorrow is better. Meh.

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

    Can anybody remember a worse season than this?

    My OR isnt even bad, but my god... it's been absolutely shocking for weeks and weeks now.
