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.

    Wilder:

    Enda is going to be out for a couple of weeks. He’s picked up an injury.

    Other than that the full squad is fit but Ben Osborn has come into that position and done really well so we have no issues with him slotting straight in.

    1. Fpl Richie

      Is Osborn up against Saint-Max? Newcastle might actually score...

      110%

    2. Abra Dubravka

      Play Lascelles over Williams?

  3. cescpistols111
    • 8 Years
    4 years, 17 days ago

    What transfer in only for this GW? 1FT, 0.0 ITB. Planning FH GW31 and WC GW32.

    Was thinking of Stevens -> Zouma.

    McCarthy McGovern
    Robertson Stevens Lascelles Kabasele Rico
    Salah KDB Pepe Alli Cantwell
    Vardy Jimenez Long

    1. ElliotJHP
      • 11 Years

      Zouma is by no means nailed

      1. cescpistols111
        • 8 Years
        4 years, 17 days ago

        What would be a better move?

  4. jtreble

    It’s unfortunate we can’t stack all of our chips/WC for this GW. I would use them all.

    1. ElliotJHP
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 17 days ago

      I'd want to save some for some potential summer madness GWs!

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

        Can’t see summer football happening unfortunately.

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

      I wonder if there's a decent chance of GW31 and GW32 absorbing the fixture backlog

      Euro qualifiers will be cancelled - frees up two weeks in the domestic calendar

      FH & TC in those weeks if so could be an option

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

        I completely agree with this.

        But it all depends if any players tests positive

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

          Would also put them in a position of "only" having 60 games/6 rounds of fixtures left to play as of Monday 6th April

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

        I think the PL will be shut down before GW31.

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

          In fairness that would probably be closer to the right thing to do (I. E. Total shutdown/postponement)

          I think they might balk at it though - too much money & too many vested interests at stake

          Unless it becomes something mandated by the gvt etc

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

            Team quarantines, however, are going to force the PL to shut down imho.

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

          This

      3. Brosstan
        • 9 Years
        4 years, 17 days ago

        If Euro qualifiers are canceled, why would PL games og Ahead?

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

      Whats the rush? If the season doesn't come to a conclusion, I'll just be writing off this season, and move on to next year.

      If it were to end next week, not like you are going to take anything from fpl perspective from the season, its a write off.

      If the games are postponed, at least you'll still have the chips when they come back around.

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

        I just want to maximize my points before the league is shut down.

      2. Louis Van Gaalstones
        • 9 Years
        4 years, 17 days ago

        Also if it involves cash leagues

        1. el polako
          • 6 Years
          4 years, 17 days ago

          Roll the cash into next season.

          1. Louis Van Gaalstones
            • 9 Years
            4 years, 17 days ago

            No way, I've been leading for over half the season

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

    A) Willian, VVD
    B) Lacelles, Fernandes

    1. Holmes

      A

  6. Whats the Huth

    This is obviously a fast-moving scenario and events could overtake plans, eg a player contracting the virus may change everything, and CMO advice could change, but as it stands, this weekend’s sport looks set to go ahead as planned.

    1. jason_ni
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 17 days ago

      This makes no sense at all - it is fast moving, so why not get ahead of it now, by at least playing the games behind closed doors starting now?

      Thats how serie a started, but it was too late by then, and the season has been postponed.

      The fa are showing no logical thinking here, cancelling a game last night, as 5 players came into contact 12 days before hand, but letting 400k spectators continue to attend games this coming weekend is ok?

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

        Just following the government's lead - to be seen to be doing something is most important thing.

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

        Liverpool Atletico open doors was a massive mistake

  8. jason_ni
    • 8 Years
    4 years, 17 days ago

    From a purely speculative point of view, what do you think happens if the season doesn't end.

    Can they give liverpool the title, can they relegate those in the bottom 3 right now.

    Who gets the top 4?

    Legal mine field, but they surely cant decree a champion/relegation until it is mathematically 100% certain?

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

      I saw someone on Twitter make a suggestion that involves giving LIV the title, putting 2nd-7th in playoffs to see who gets CL or EL, leaving 8th-14th as-is, and putting 15th-20th in relegation playoffs.

      Not sure how I feel about that but it's an idea.

      1. jason_ni
        • 8 Years
        4 years, 17 days ago

        I'm not a liverpool fan, which will sway my point of view, but until they are 100%, why should City let them take it by default?

        We all know they will win the league if it continues, but that doesnt mean they couldnt implode, any more than they have over the past week 3 defeats in 4 games is it now?

        1. FPL_Crisis
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 13 Years
          4 years, 17 days ago

          As a Liverpool I’d agree. If it were another club in this position and they awarded it to them you’d understand given the big lead but mathematically still possible to lose

          Think i saw re Italy they’re considering playoffs for Europe and relegation with no champions

      2. DAZZ
        • 9 Years
        4 years, 17 days ago

        Man City would never agree to that as long as they can mathematically still win the PL.

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

          That was my first reaction when I saw the tweet

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

          Thats what Im saying, its a time bomb waiting to happen if the cant close out the season, is it all just a write off, no one relegated/promoted, as you were start next august in a (hopefully) post covid world.

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

      Super sixes in a ladder - like squash or pool - starting with current league positions

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

      The ONLY fair route in the case of leagues being unable to finish, is complete abandonment. No one wins anything, no relegation, no promotions.

      Weirdly it would mean Liverpool don’t win the league, but do retain the CL title.

      I can’t see it being done any other way.

      1. jason_ni
        • 8 Years
        4 years, 17 days ago

        If this were to happen, I dont think you would say liverpool retained the CL, as much as city retained the pl, it would just go down as "No Winners" for this season.

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

          A cup is different. At least you can stop a league because there is always a "winner" but a cup has to go all the way.

      2. Klaren
        • 6 Years
        4 years, 17 days ago

        As a Man Utd fan, I have to say that this would be unfair for Liverpool as they've already won the league, just not mathematically guaranteed it yet.

        I think taking the current standings as final would be a fairer approach.

        1. jason_ni
          • 8 Years
          4 years, 17 days ago

          Its def not fair for liverpool not to win the league, but is it anymore fair to relegate likes of Norwich/Villa/B'Mouth, when there is plenty of games left for them to survive?

          You can't crown a champion if its not completely confirmed, but not relegate the other 3.

          Thats why its so tricky.

      3. Brosstan
        • 9 Years
        4 years, 17 days ago

        If a competition is abandoned or voided, it is recorded as if it never happened. There will be no official records of the PL 19/20 season, just noted as "canceled due to pandemic". Same With the CL if its canceled. No one will be seen as retaining the title, the entire year is just skipped over.

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

          Highly unlikely.

        2. MOTHRA
          • 8 Years
          4 years, 16 days ago

          ^ exactly.

    4. Juza
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 17 days ago

      They look at the league table when it is cancelled.

      1. jason_ni
        • 8 Years
        4 years, 17 days ago

        You think its as simple as that?

        Norwich/Villa/BMouth will just roll over? Not a chance, more likely that the season is just scrapped.

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

          That's another option yes

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

      Wgen league was cancelled in September 1939 (granted they had only played 3 games) there was no champion - Blackpool had been top.
      Next season 1946-1947 started with same 22 leagus that had been in division in 1939-1940.
      There is the precedent.
      Sorry Liverpool.

      1. MOTHRA
        • 8 Years
        4 years, 16 days ago

        It’s the only fair way.
        It’ll be a complete reboot. Season never happened.

  9. Louis Van Gaalstones
    • 9 Years
    4 years, 17 days ago

    Might use my WC this week, FH next week and BB the week after (depending how many weeks we have left) to secure my ML...would backfire if the season continues though

    1. jason_ni
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 17 days ago

      think my ml is top 3 payout, went from 2nd to 4th after mondays vardy/barnes show.

      Annoying as I still have chips to play, and I know I will at least get back to 2nd if the season continued as normal.

      1. Louis Van Gaalstones
        • 9 Years
        4 years, 17 days ago

        Yeah I've been top for a long time, but the guy behind me has clawed it back to a 20 point gap using all his chips, I'll lose my mind if he pips me to it

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

      It will not.

    How many players are people managing to put out for GW31 without taking hits?

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

      I have 8 at the moment, could rise to 10 if I use my FTs between now and then. Maybe I'll use one at most; having 2 FTs at all times seems necessary with the circumstances.

    2. grumpyman
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years

      7, or 8 with a hit.

    3. jason_ni
      • 8 Years

      I have 9 with Dendo

      Pope
      TAA - VVD - Saiss - Taylor
      Salah - Sarr - Dendo
      Jimi

      May do Ings to Woods or something for free going into 31.

    4. Carlton_Goal
      • 8 Years

      9, potentially going to take hit to get 10 but only if I want the player long term

        I'm still recovering from a collapsed lung I suffered earlier in the year - over the worse of it, but I am still having scans etc.

        Was a spontaneous pnuermorix, so out of the blue, before that I was relatively healthy, sporty 36 yo.

        For sure I am a bit concerned that I'd prob be more suspect than a "normal" healthy individual!

          Crikey. Hope you get back to fighting fitness soon.

    La Liga postponed for 2 weeks

      PL will follow, for sure. This week will be the last gameweek for a while, if it happens at all.

        I’d be surprised if this whole GW got played, if any following that announcement

    La Liga suspended for 2 weeks.

    Surely the uncertainty is going to have a massive effect on players, and could lead to some really bizarre outcomes?

      It's going to get a lot crazier before it gets better I think

      All from someone eating a bat like

      1. olidooley
        • 11 Years
        4 years, 17 days ago

        It came from a pangolin is the most likely scenario we know now. And not from eating it

        1. Louis Van Gaalstones
          • 9 Years
          4 years, 17 days ago

          I've always thought they had a certain charm

          Pangolins in China?

          1. olidooley
            • 11 Years
            4 years, 17 days ago

            Yep

              • 8 Years
              4 years, 17 days ago

              Pangolins are native to Africa....

                • 14 Years
                4 years, 17 days ago

                I think their found in both Africa and Asia.

    There goes La Liga 🙁

  21. Gunner1290

    1 free transfer, 1.7 in the bank. What transfer would you make?

    McCarthy (button)
    Trent Boly Soyoncu (Gomez Rico)
    Traore Salah Kdb Mahrez Richarlison
    Auba Deeney (Greenwood)

    Use your chips/WC while you can. 🙂

    1. BNMC

      No WC is better than a wasted WC

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

        I’m suggesting you use your chips/WC before the PL is shut down. I don’t care which one. 🙂

  23. Champions League Varane

    Could the Liverpool game be cancelled?

    We should captain a player who plays on a Saturday/Sunday?

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

      I am doing that just to be safe

      1. Champions League Varane
        • 5 Years
        4 years, 17 days ago

        Bruno it is?

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

          Suddenly KDB is a candidate too

    2. vincentwsho
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 17 days ago

      Can still put Salah / Mane as captain? Just need to make sure the vice captain plays on Sat

  24. olidooley
    • 11 Years
    4 years, 17 days ago

    Has to be KDB cap now at home to Burnley with the Madrid game off. Who’s with me?

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

      Always

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

      I'm considering the same, either KDB or Salah/Mane

    3. vincentwsho
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 17 days ago

      But would Pep not rush him back because of that?

  25. KGFC
    • 7 Years
    4 years, 17 days ago

    Real Madrid footballers have gone into quarantine because of coronavirus

  26. Carlton_Goal
    • 8 Years
    4 years, 17 days ago

    Ngakia or Cathcart 1st on bench? Think both West Ham and Watford will lose so not really liking either

    1. Fpl Richie
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 17 days ago

      Watford game more likely to be 0-0. Conversely I think WH more likely to win.

    Best Stevens replacement who has a game in 31?

    McCarthy button
    Taa Doherty Stevens soy Taylor

  28. InvertedWinger

    Two UCL ties cancelled.

    Surely they're better off just postponing all the football with euro 2020 almost surely getting pushed.

    30 days of aggressive isolation measures and good hand hygiene and we'll have moved up ahead of Covid 19 making it a very manageable situation and a return to normal day to day life.

  29. Strchld

    What are the changes they cancel rest of season before it should end? Or postponed most likely and continue it to June?

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

      High. Doubtful.

  30. Brosstan
    • 9 Years
    4 years, 17 days ago

    Just cancel the season already.

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

      Cancel? Doubtful. End early? Likely.

      1. Brosstan
        • 9 Years
        4 years, 17 days ago

        The precedent is cancellation, like what happened in 1939 when the war broke out.

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

          Highly unlikely. I’m going to guess the PL is going to go with final standings.

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

            Very much doubt it. Cancellation much more likely outcome.

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

              We’ll see soon enough. 🙂

    2. MANGE TOUT RODNEY
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 17 days ago

      Isn't playing games behind closed doors more likely?

      1. Brosstan
        • 9 Years
        4 years, 17 days ago

        Gathering 20+ people in crowded dressing rooms is unnecessary risk of spreading the virus.

    3. Tomerick
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 17 days ago

      Let’s just wait and see what happens. I’ll be very surprised if they cancel or end the season .
