Whether or not you should sign players who don’t have a fixture in the next gameweek is a subject of discussion on Waiting On the Bonus Points this week.
Some FPL managers have been transferring in the likes of Son Heung-min, Romelu Lukaku and Marcus Rashford for Gameweek 31, despite the fact that they will not play – because of their involvement in the FA Cup.

With discussions about how to plan for the upcoming blank and double gameweeks without Wildcard and Free Hit chips, David and Jak speculate if this is how some managers are future-proofing their squads.

Our very small of players eligible to be signed in Blank Gameweek 31 increases slightly this week after some differentials emerged in Gameweek 30.

That means David and Jak have been able to update their very unreliable-looking BGW31 squad.

With injuries to Sergio Aguero and Harry Kane we also look ahead at some potential long-term replacements for them if they end up sidelined permanently.
