As Fantasy Premier League (FPL) enthusiasts look ahead to Blank Gameweek 31, key selections are being made. This week’s picks focus on maximizing team potential within budget constraints and player limitations.
Budget and Team Configuration
This gameweek’s team setup follows specific guidelines:
- Starting XI budget: £83.0m
- Total squad limit: £100.0m
- Maximum players from one team: three
Goalkeeper Selection
For this gameweek, Aaron Ramsdale (£4.8m) emerges as the top goalkeeper choice. He has been selected by three analysts due to his recent form. Ramsdale has proven instrumental, providing save points in his last two matches. His team, Sunderland, has struggled offensively, scoring only eight goals in 15 away games this season.
Defensive Picks
Our selected defenders include:
- Virgil van Dijk (£6.3m): Representing Liverpool, van Dijk has contributed to three clean sheets in the last five away fixtures. He has also generated four attacking returns in 2023. His knack for capitalizing on big chances has made him a valuable asset.
- Malick Thiaw (£5.1m): This Newcastle defender has netted five goals across all competitions this season. Thiaw’s defensive contributions have been notable, earning him points in four recent Gameweeks. His performance is especially promising against Sunderland’s less potent offense in the upcoming derby.
- Joachim Andersen (£4.6m): As a budget-friendly option, Andersen may prove beneficial. Fulham’s defensive record indicates they are likely to secure a clean sheet, especially against teams in the lower half of the table.
