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.

    Whoa is this real or is this just my Vardy missus fantasy...Anderson in the points???

    1. Patch

      Can't believe Vardy is my actual disappointment, feel like I should blame Maguire or Madison ...

        Kasper did well.

    Only Free Hitters should be annoyed this GW. Averages are so low so far this GW that it doesn't really matter for the rest.

      Free hitters and those who took big hits

  4. Eytexi

    Anyone got more than 7 players on 2 without having someone on more/less?

  5. Fred54

    Anderson I salute you!

    Bringing players in for GW 31 & 33 so you can FH in 32 isn't working out so far.

    Does this GW actually benefit anyone???

    1. Yank Revolution
      • 12 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      GW 33 needs to be played before you make such a pronouncement.

    2. Hotdogs for Tea
      • 8 Years

      Depends on the players brought in surely ?

    3. NABIL - FPL otai

      Nope Lanzini n Rondón doing good for me

    4. FPLtfs

      I would say avoiding hits this gw and gw33 is an advantage.

    5. Avo24

      34 (-4) so far. Mane, salah (C), hazard, robbo left. Decent for me

    3 baps for Anderson?

    1. diesel001
      • 7 Years

      LOL. Be grateful for the assist points.

    Bought Snoddy at 5.4m and he's now 5.0. The least he could have done is make an appearance in the BGW!

    Felipe justifies his 4 point hit

      Cheers for the Wilson v King tip. I went Wilson.

        My fault of course

        1. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
          • 14 Years
          5 years, 1 month ago

          If it’s any consolation, Wilson had 20 returns in his last 21 starts before today... if he took the pen and didn’t have the effort cleared off the line it could have been very different 🙁

            Oh there was a pen and King was on them like I thought. Anyway as I said, my fault.

    Wilson was a trap

    1. Limited & Mediocre Mana…
      • 8 Years

    Cue Dyche with his "there's an agenda against us" rant in post match presser.

    1. Yank Revolution
      • 12 Years

      His magic has worn off....time to cut him loose.

    Hits for Wilson and Fraser fail then. Better do something in 33!

  20. Yank Revolution

    Any reason not to activate FH now as planned and wait?

    I have two FPL teams.

    One that I field in private MLs with some dough in the pot, for the office and etc. The one that I thinker and try my best with.

    Then there is the B team, which I don't really care about, is in no private MLs, and that I often forget to look over or do anything with before a game week.

    One team is ranked 500 000 places above the other.

    Care to guess which is doing the best?

      Not the best place to advertise this point tbh.
