FPL blank gameweek 31 tips: Bruno Fernandes captain, pick Anthony Gordon and Harry Wilson

Bruno Fernandes (captain), Manchester United, £10.2m – Bournemouth (a)

Ten games since returning from injury, five double-digit hauls, 11 returns… Fernandes is a must-have FPL player.

Anthony Gordon, Newcastle United, £7.2m – Sunderland (h)

Gordon is on penalties with Bruno Guimaraes out injured and will be looking to score for the third league game in a row.

It’s fair to say Gordon has underperformed this season – his expected goals (xG) is 8.12 yet he has only scored five.

Players tend to outperform their xG – Bryan Mbeumo, for example, has a similar xG (7.85) from almost similar game time but has scored nine times.

Gordon’s 13 big chances is bettered by only four midfielders, one being Mbeumo, so he should have returned more points.

And he’s at the start of a potentially golden run of form – 18 points in two games – that you want to jump on.

Anton Stach, Leeds United, £4.7m – Brentford (h)

If you are looking for a budget midfielder this week then why not Stach?

He’s got 10 attacking returns and has returned defcon points in 10 of 25 starts.

Plus this is the time of year to back relegation-threatened teams as they battle to stay up and can bring out the best in their key assets.

Harry Wilson, Fulham, £6m – Burnley (h)

Wilson’s FPL season belies any stats – nine goals from three big chances for example – but picking Fulham‘s highest-scoring asset against the league’s worst defence away from home is a no-brainer!

Morgan Rogers, Aston Villa, £7.5m – West Ham (h)

There have been a lot of two-pointers for Rogers recently so this pick is as much based on hope than belief.

But he is still easily Villa’s most threatening player, having been involved in 32% of their goals.

And West Ham, despite massive recent improvement, have the fourth-worst xGC away from home (8.4) in their past five games on the road.
