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.

      Free hitting this week was a complete waste of the best chip it seems. 10 points. The only player who did anything beyond showing up is on my bench. All my players tomorrow are already owned by everybody anyway. Awful year on FPL for me

      1. EMBOLOFAN

        its almost like everyone on here all week said fh this week was a bad idea

          Don’t rub it in. That’s not true at all.

          1) I haven't logged in over a week - I have been travelling all week with work; and
          2) A lot of people on here say a lot of things - they don't always come good. Alonso is due springs to mind.....

      1. EMBOLOFAN
        • 5 Years
        5 years, 1 month ago

        they dont get returns every week mate they cost less than 7m and play for bournemouth

      2. Magic Zico

    7. SEXY SOLO SAUCE
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Imagine seeing the scores from today but not the scorers before deadline. Would be all over those attacking assets yet only a couple delivered. Strange.

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

        Yep. We got goals but very few template goals. It happens

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

    10. L'Aeroplanino
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Should we activate FH now?

      1. tucaoneo
        • 5 Years
        5 years, 1 month ago

        No. Wait for Man City.

      Mane Wilson Chilwell Hazard in for a -8 doesn’t look too clever now.....

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

        See what hazard can do v Everton. You never know

        Plus 33 could reward you.

        31 and 33 feel like one long GW

        1. L'Aeroplanino
          • 7 Years
          5 years, 1 month ago

          agree, you probably get Hazard for WHM anyway

      2. Amey
        • 5 Years
        5 years, 1 month ago

        Hazard vs WH will be great 🙂

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

      Why did Fabianski not get that 3rd save?

      I guess it must have been off-target?

    14. the german
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      34 after baps with robbo TAA Hazard(c) mane Higuain remaining

    15. Caleb's Kitties
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Thoughts on FH32 team ?

      Patricio
      Azpi luiz lindelof
      Hazard sterling sane pogba
      Aguero rashford jimenez

    16. All For One
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      best front 3 for next gw?

      1. Magic Zico
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 5 Years
        5 years, 1 month ago

        Have we got the full fixtures?

      2. PrettyDick
        • 6 Years
        5 years, 1 month ago

        Most likely Aguero Higuain and one of Rashford/Lukaku/Jiminez/

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

      FFFix estimated rank fluctuating so much.

      Ah, when youre forced to go to FFFix when Livefpl is down.

      1. L'Aeroplanino
        • 7 Years
        5 years, 1 month ago

        14 points and rank doubled, doesn't seems right

    18. Magic Zico
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      One of those weeks! Am I correct recalling that the previous BGW was also disappointing?

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

        Salah scored 4 goals and also had an assist.

        Hoping for a repeat 😉

        My daughter has gone for FH next GW but her rival (the guy above her in 1st place of mini league) has gone FH so has choice of TC or BB next GW.

        Hoping for the best; lots of rests if he goes BB and a TC fail if that's his choice.

        Any chance of some expected rescheduled games in GW32 moving to GW35?

      4. Norfolk&Chance

          Looks like Tibo will be able to spend loads of time with his family in Spain, his alleged reason for moving.
