Gameweek 31 Deadline Alert – The Defensive Gems You Need Before Friday

With Gameweek 31's Friday deadline fast approaching, this episode of Who Got The Points? cuts through the noise to give you everything you need to nail your transfers in under seven minutes. It's a blank gameweek with only eight fixtures, and the hosts break down exactly which assets to target and which deadweights to shift before 6:30pm on Friday. In the news round-up, fitness concerns surround Konate, Isak, Tonali, and Romero, while Damsgaard's injury could disrupt Brighton's creativity ahead of their Liverpool clash. Mane's early substitution for Brentford also raises role questions under Keith Andrews. The episode's defensive deep-dive from Gameweek 30 uncovers some serious value plays. Bournemouth's Truffert (£4.6m, 3.2% ownership) hauled 11 points and faces Man Utd on Friday night – making him arguably the best budget defender in the game. Senesi is highlighted as essential with nine clean sheets and seven expected points for GW31, while Newcastle's Gordon (£7.3m) is named both a must-buy and the captaincy pick ahead of the Tyne-Wear derby against Sunderland. On the transfers out list, Crystal Palace's Canvot, Richards, and Man City's Semenyo are all flagged due to blank fixtures with zero expected points. Differentials Bassey (Fulham), Frimpong (Liverpool), and Van Hecke (Brighton) are spotlighted for savvy managers looking to gain an edge. Free Hit chip strategy is also discussed given the volume of blanking premium players.
