Why I’m considering Jarrod Bowen in my Free Hit squad for Blank Gameweek 31

One of the world’s best FPL managers, Tom Freeman, discusses West Ham, Burnley, Dele Alli and Chelsea as he looks ahead to Blank Gameweek 31.


With Gameweek 29 coming to a premature end due to coronavirus fears, focus has turned to preparing my squad for Blank Gameweek 31.

There are currently only four Premier League matches scheduled on that weekend, and with just five players from the teams involved in my squad, I’ll likely be activating my Free Hit chip in an attempt to break into the top 10k.

Aside from the obvious targets at Liverpool and Wolverhampton Wanderers, West Ham United interest me. I’ve been encouraged by a few of their performances recently, and now they’ve figured out their best formation and got to grips with David Moyes’ more direct, counter-attacking style, I think they’re worth a look.

Whilst I’ve been hyping both Michail Antonio (£6.9m) and Pablo Fornals (£6.0m) via my Spot the Differential column, right now, Jarrod Bowen (£6.5m) is my top target.

After a couple of substitute appearances, he was thrown into the starting XI against Southampton in Gameweek 28, and scored his first goal on his first start. He followed that up with a tidy performance at Arsenal, hitting the post and then later, forcing Bernd Leno (£5.0m) into a decent save. He also seems to have developed a good understanding with Jeremy Ngakia (£4.0m) at right-back, who could be a useful, cheap pickup himself.

Looking at West Ham as a unit at the Emirates, there was actually quite a lot to like – the line-up was positive, they asked questions and looked the more likely of the two teams to score (they managed 14 shots, six of which were on target); they just need to be a bit more clinical in front of goal.

Their opposition in Gameweek 31 also plays a part in my thinking as Tottenham Hotspur have kept only three clean sheets in 26 games since Jose Mourinho was appointed in November.

For those considering a move, I’ll leave my ‘Hitman’ custom table here. In this particular version, it focuses on midfielders using data from the last three Gameweeks, which coincides with Moyes reverting to a back four.

This table has been quite a handy tool for me this season, highlighting the likes of Ismaila Sarr (£6.3m), Harvey Barnes (£6.1m) and Diogo Jota (£6.4m) nice and early, which bodes well for Bowen, who features despite playing significantly fewer minutes than others on the list:

Another side showing form is Burnley, who have picked up 12 points over the last six games – only Liverpool have taken more. 

Charlie Taylor (£4.3m) and Dwight McNeil (£6.0m) have been excellent down their left side, which often sees the latter position himself in the half space. Nineteen of their 32 crosses on Saturday arrived via the pair.

Nick Pope (£4.8m) in goal, plus defenders Ben Mee (£5.0m) and James Tarkowski (5.1m) all look decent options, whilst the return of Chris Wood (£6.1m) is well timed. He scored and earned nine points against Spurs, and has now found the net four times since the turn of the year.

Despite it looking like the wheels have come off at Spurs, Dele Alli (£8.3m) seems to be returning regardless and has been putting up good numbers. Now it looks like he might be on penalty duties too, so he might be worth a spot.

The only other player I’m really considering outside of those mentioned above, and of course Liverpool and Wolves assets, is Sarr, though the fact they come up against Burnley puts me off – nobody has picked up more clean sheets than the Clarets at home this season.

If I do use my Free Hit chip in Gameweek 31, it has immediate implications, as I can look to take advantage by moving for a Chelsea player this week – something those navigating the blank via transfers may not be able to do, because let’s face it, they’ll probably have other priorities.

The appeal lies in the Blues’ opponents this weekend, my club Aston Villa. We’ve conceded more goals than any other side, we’ve faced the most shots at goal and continually get undone by set pieces. Whilst Chelsea haven’t been the most consistent of sides under Frank Lampard, they do seem to have turned a bit of a corner recently, and with a top four spot and the FA Cup still to play for, should have plenty of motivation.  

Billy Gilmour (£4.5m) looks quality, and has turned in two hugely impressive back-to-back performances. Against Everton, he completed more passes than any other player on the pitch, and whilst he didn’t claim an assist, his vision was key to both of Chelsea’s first half goals.

Mason Mount (£6.1m) was really good too, but it’s also worth noting some of the veterans’ importance, like Pedro (£6.8m), Willian (£6.9m) and Olivier Giroud (£6.5m). Giroud led the line superbly, holding the ball up and bringing others into play, and bagged a goal and set up multiple chances. I’m actually considering transferring him in for Danny Ings (£7.1m) this week.

Chelsea’s fixtures to follow the blank are appealing too, and they travel well: they’ve picked up the same amount of points on the road as they have done at Stamford Bridge this season, despite playing one less game, and scored more.

In terms of captaincy this week, I’ll be avoiding the Merseyside derby. It’s currently on Bruno Fernandes (£8.5m), who is up against one of the worst defences in the league right now. It’s fair to say he’s lifted the whole club since his arrival, and I see Manchester United comfortably beating Spurs.

So, here’s how I’m currently set up ahead of Gameweek 30, with Giroud likely to come in for Ings.

Thanks for reading… until next time.

      The crystal ball is unclear.

    until this morning, I was quite confident PL will go to term (so does FPL). Things are turning quick in the sports world now. ATP tour out for 6 weeks, NBA on hold, all the marathons cancelled.

    I can't see how the London Marathon can still be and I doubt the PL will go to term unfortunatelly. So does the UCL and probably the Euro this summer

    1. Fulchester's New Centr…

      That could have all the players in individual plastic bubbles and us watching from home.

      Postponement is the only option. Extended season.

      Euros will have to be pushed back to 2021.

      It’s impossible to just cancel the season.

    Really stuck in terms of what to do next. 3 bad red arrows in a row so need to do somethign to change team form. 1ft and 0.3m

    Ryan
    Taa* Robbo* Boly* -- Aurier* Rico*
    Salah Sarr* Kdb Perez -- Stephens
    Jimenez* Auba Ings

    - Currently have 8 bgw31 players
    - Really want a united mid (bruno/martial) but how and when to get them?
    - Going for perez over barnes has been painful
    - Transfer ideas?

    1. Fulchester's New Centr…
      • 6 Years

      Extra Wolf always a good thing. Jota?
      I'd go Bruno after blank.

  7. FPL Doctor
    • 9 Years
    4 years, 17 days ago

    Play 2:

    A) Boly (Have Patricio in goal)
    B) Lundstram
    C) Soyuncu
    D) Stephens

    1. Fulchester's New Centr…
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 17 days ago

      Lund if he looks like starting again and maybe Stephens?

  8. Soto Ayam
    • 4 Years
    4 years, 17 days ago

    Sure it's been discussed there already. NBA has suspended this season as a player caught Corona. Chances premier League will follow suit if a player contracts it?

    1. Whats the Huth
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 17 days ago

      Suspended yeh. Think games will be played behind closed doors this weekend

      1. Soto Ayam
        • 4 Years
        4 years, 17 days ago

        Even if a player gets it?

        1. Fulchester's New Centr…
          • 6 Years
          4 years, 17 days ago

          Back dated sel-isolation for players who have come in contact and carry on?
          To quote the great philosopher Lewis Hamilton, "Cash is king".

        2. Whats the Huth
          • 8 Years
          4 years, 17 days ago

          If a player gets it. Then everyone in contact with that player will have to be tested. That club will have to postpone their game.

          All other games will still go ahead.

      2. Konstaapeli
        • 7 Years
        4 years, 17 days ago

        May I ask where do you base this certainty that the season will be played to the end?

        Things are spreading really quickly so I actually think this is going to be the last weekend of PL football and expect it to be suspended, whether it will be cancelled completely is another thing but that might be quite trivial problem soon.

        1. Jarnathan
          • 7 Years
          4 years, 17 days ago

          Does that mean Liverpool win or does the whole seaon not count? Does that mean teams cannot be promoted or relegated? I don't expect you to know the answer to these questions, but they'll be asking them somewhere!

          1. Konstaapeli
            • 7 Years
            4 years, 17 days ago

            I have no idea. Luckily I don't have to work that out.

    Is it worth trying to work a Chelsea player into this squad?

    Leno Krul
    TAA Doherty Saiss Cathcart Taylor
    Salah KDB Bruno Sarr Saka
    Auba Jota DCL

    1. Miguel Sanchez
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      Which player and for whom?

      1. BNMC
        • 4 Years
        4 years, 17 days ago

        That's the issue. Maybe I'll wait a bit, but they are playing Villa this week...

  17. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
    • 14 Years
    4 years, 17 days ago

    KDB apparently trained Monday & Tuesday in the run up to Arsenal but was a doubt to start

    With Burnley the only opportunity to get minutes before Madrid - he's going to stay isn't he?

    Just wonder if he'll do a Vardy & punish sellers by returning vs Burnley... Could easily set him getting something vs Liverpool (City wont want to lose that one) & Southampton as well with that level of set piece domination, penalties, and the obvious open play threat

    In reality, even though his schedule & injury doubt apart to be cosmetically bad - are they actually a reverse-trap....

    He's actually a very difficult sell isn't he?

    1. BNMC
      • 4 Years
      4 years, 17 days ago

      I'm not in a rush to sell but I am definitely considering it.

    2. Liber
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 17 days ago

      Definitely not easy sell, so no.

    3. Fulchester's New Centr…
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 17 days ago

      I'm captaining - think he might go medieval on Burnley's ass

      1. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
        • 14 Years
        4 years, 17 days ago

        Think I'm fairly set on Vardy captain...

        But Dear Lord there will be some wailing & gnashing of teeth on here if KDB even just pops up with a simple goal

        All it takes is one shot, one DFK, one Penalty...

        1. Fulchester's New Centr…
          • 6 Years
          4 years, 17 days ago

          Fingers crossed

    4. Old Man
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      4 years, 17 days ago

      He certainy is when he was bought for 9.5. It would be a one way ticket only I suspect. If I could be sure he would start and play most of the remaining league fixtures then I'd certainly keep him. At the moment the jury is still out but I'm likely to keep until the WC..

  18. Ci Siamo

    Hi guys, what was that Leicester Twitter account that predicted the Vardy out news really early?

    Really need to know whether Perez starts or not on Saturday...

    I’m definitely captaining a Chelsea or Man I player this week, so better option out of these 2?:

    A) Bruno (C) + Lascelles
    B) Willian (C) + Alonso (-4)

    1. Miguel Sanchez
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years

      A - prefer Pedro to Willian for what its worth

    Not making any transfers until weekend schedule is known.

    Idea for FPL Towers: New rule, any teams not playing due to CoronaVirus and you have a player for that team, you can make a FH transfer for that player and it will revert back to your old player at the end of the week. So some people might get 2 trandfers and some might get 5 etc etc, but no one is disadvantaged due to a match not going ahead. But we all get nice juicy double, triple GW's later in the season.

    1. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 17 days ago

      Corona Virus FH

      I like it actually

    2. ClassiX

      Nice idea but probably not enough time to dev and QA this functionality before the weekend...

    3. Ógie
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 17 days ago

      Not really fair either as you will have that player back for possible treble or quadruple gw for no cost.

      We will just have to take this whole thing on the chin and roll with the punches Viper.

    So Pool's season going from an amazing treble to empty-handed (if PL is called off)... woah.. that'd be super rough!

    If the euro qualifiers are cancelled (surely a virtual certainty at this stage??) could we possibly see some of the outstanding PL fixtures played weekend of 28/29 march and the Wed 25th?

    That could be huge - particularly whether they add them to GW31 or GW32

    1. DAZZ
      • 9 Years

      I'd be extremely surprised if the Internationals go ahead.

      1. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
        • 14 Years
        4 years, 17 days ago

        Yep surly they're going to be cancelled

        And if they don't go ahead it opens up this gaping hole in the calendar from Monday 23rd March - Friday 3rd April

        Is just a question of whether they fill that hole with the fixture backlog (behind closed doors games in all likelihood)...

        Or whether they decide to use it as buffer to try delay the Covid progress

      Surely the Euros wont be going ahead

        Man City QUADRUPLE Gameweek32

        Arsenal Wed 25th
        Newcastle Sun 29th
        Chelsea Wed 1st
        Liverpool Sun 5th

        Backlog :SOLVED

        1. The VAR Team
          • 4 Years
          4 years, 17 days ago

          The first three would be part of 31! They wouldn’t change the GW32 deadline

          1. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
            • 14 Years
            4 years, 17 days ago

            Would it not be easier for them to pull in the GW32 deadline though than add them at even shorter notice to GW31

            (GW32 deadline is already fast approaching in just 8 days on Friday 20th!)

        2. FPL Daniel
          • 14 Years

          Quadruple for those that have triple captain left will be like being in heaven

          1. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
            • 14 Years
            4 years, 17 days ago

            FH is surely the even bigger play there though!

      2. jtreble
        • 7 Years
        4 years, 17 days ago

        It’s highly unlikely

    3. Long ago I drew a walrus
      • 13 Years
      4 years, 17 days ago

      Can you imagine the outrage if new fixtures are added to GW31 after the deadline

      1. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
        • 14 Years
        4 years, 17 days ago

        Yeah I don't think they could ever do that

        But GW32 could become an absolute monster GW, the likes of which we've never seen before

    4. The VAR Team
      • 4 Years
      4 years, 17 days ago

      That would be part of GW31. All of a sudden we wouldn’t have a blank after all

      1. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
        • 14 Years
        4 years, 17 days ago

        Possibly - maybe they add one fixture per backlog team to GW31 (Wed 25th games)

        And the other two backlog fixtures to GW32 (I. E. Saturday 28th & Wed 1st games)

        1. The VAR Team
          • 4 Years
          4 years, 17 days ago

          I don’t think they would change the deadlines as they’re already set, and people could and would miss them if they’re moved forward

          1. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
            • 14 Years
            4 years, 17 days ago

            Is there any precedent of them changing deadlines before?

            Surely it's the least of two evils - GW32 deadline would need to be pulled into Wed 25th to enable this

            That's still 13 days away so they'd have plenty of time to warn people /put up banners all over the website

            1. FPL Daniel
              • 14 Years
              4 years, 17 days ago

              yes they have been changing deadlines many years ago, but it was only the hour because games were changed due to tv broadcast if I recall correctly. must be 8 years or so.. anyone to confirm this?

            2. Lukakuna
              • 7 Years
              4 years, 17 days ago

              Someone on here claimed they’ve never done it. I think as soon as FPL starts changing things it will be unfair to someone, and therefore the best course of action is doing nothing.
              They might not see it that way though 😉

              1. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
                • 14 Years
                4 years, 17 days ago

                If they give plenty of notice (days/weeks) maybe it becomes more feasible

                1. Lukakuna
                  • 7 Years
                  4 years, 17 days ago

                  It would be a shame if we don’t know whether 31 is a blank or not by the deadline yeah

              I seem to remember this happening once, possibly ten years or so ago. Difficult to remember the circumstances, but there was a Saturday game that was played in advance of some of the other matches which were either in the week or the following weekend. It was odd for the reason of setting up your team so far ahead before the rest of them play.

              At the time, it was odd not attaching it to the end of the previous gameweek. It's a sketchy memory.

    What CHE players would you have in a triple up?

    1. FPL Daniel
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 17 days ago

      only Alonso for me.

    2. Holmes
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 17 days ago

      Alonso, Mount, Jorginho

    3. JJeyy
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 17 days ago

      alonso, willina/pedro, mount

    4. Lemongrab
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 17 days ago

      Alonso, Willian, Giroud

      1. jtreble
        • 7 Years
        4 years, 17 days ago

        I had the same idea.

  25. Marmalade Forest
    • 6 Years
    4 years, 17 days ago

    Rampant speculation.

    Someone in the Liverpool squad coughs at training today after playing Atletico, he is tested positive for COVID19 and isn’t allowed to play.

    Nor are the rest of the senior squad now after they all played together.

    Liverpool will have to either play their kids or push for postponement.

    Liverpool fans go into meltdown about how the rest of the season gets sorted and if/when they can claim the title.

    More importantly, everyone in the forums here goes into meltdown about what to do for GW31 and how to capitalise to win MLs and improve OR.

    2. Fulchester's New Centr…
      • 6 Years

      (LUN)?

      Aurier could get a minus score

  29. Dynamic Duos
    • 10 Years

    Going to BB this week and FH next week whilst we still have games(hopefully)

    1. jtreble
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 17 days ago

      Are you planning to use all of your chips/WC in the consecutive coming weeks?

      1. Dynamic Duos
        • 10 Years
        4 years, 17 days ago

        Like I said, wc and tc used

    Real Madrid are in quarantine putting their game against City next week a doubt. Good for KDB prospects to start vs Burnley

      How much longer can UEFA competitions go on for

      1. goriuanx
        • 13 Years
        4 years, 17 days ago

        Looks like CL is at the biggest risk of being postponed/cancelled given travel from countries within Europe. I suppose moving Euros to 2021 opens up a period for games to be played this summer. The PL are going to play games behind closed doors according to The Times, so they may be able to finish the league on time.

        1. jtreble
          • 7 Years
          4 years, 17 days ago

          All it would take is a few positives and the PL would have to shut down.

          1. goriuanx
            • 13 Years
            4 years, 17 days ago

            Yes and it wouldn't be a surprise. I read that that UK are 13 days behind Italy so probably will get worse from here on - and of course those within football aren't immune from catching the virus.

            Imagine Neale trying to do team news in a few weeks. He'll need a big calculator to work out whether certain players will leave quarantine in time for matches.

    2. BNMC
      • 4 Years

      Or it could mean DGW30!?

    3. FPL Daniel
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 17 days ago

      why risk KDB when there is no Real game? he was supposed to play in order to gain match fitness

      1. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
        • 13 Years
        4 years, 17 days ago

        why risk anyone, UEFA should just call it off

        1. goriuanx
          • 13 Years
          4 years, 17 days ago

          It's more feasible to cancel the CL than any league but I don't see it happening - there's too much money to be made. Money comes before health to those at the top, and especially to the hierarchies within football.
