Blank Gameweek 31 could be a pivotal week for FPL managers.
There are four teams out of action, including Arsenal and Manchester City, and a lot of managers are using the opportunity to deploy their Free Hit. 
The question is should you follow the crowd, or is there a chance to make some ground with differential stars?
Fulham look to be the side to target this week, boasting the strongest fixture on paper with Burnley at home.
<a href="https://www.squawka.com/">Squawka</a> have used the <a href="https://www.squawka.com/en/comparison-matrix/">Comparison Matrix</a> to analyse the most transferred-in Fulham players ahead of Blank Gameweek 31.
&nbsp;
<h3>Harry Wilson (£6.0m) &#8211; 70k transfers in</h3>
The standout Fulham option is Harry Wilson, with 70k transfers in at the time of writing. 
Wilson has 23 points across the past four gameweeks, and that includes him missing a match against West Ham.
The Welshman scored and assisted against Tottenham, also providing an assist in the win over Sunderland. 
Wilson is more of a shooter than his teammates in midfield, averaging 1.7 shots per 90 with 1 on target and a conversion rate of 23%.
The 28-year-old also averages 0.3 home goals per 90, making him a prime midfield option at Craven Cottage.
Although Wilson has “only” created 1.2 chances per 90 this season, that’s translated to 0.3 assists. 
He’s also won 1.3 fouls per 90, increasing the chance of an assist for a free-kick or penalty, with the Wales international offering plenty of set-piece threat himself too.

&nbsp;
<h3>Joachim Andersen (£4.5m) &#8211; 46k transfers in</h3>
As the runaway pick among Fulham&#8217;s defensive options, Andersen is the most-signed Fulham man with 46k transfers in so far.
Andersen isn’t a defender to add to your team for goals &#8211; he yet to find the net this season, and has also averaged just 0.1 assists per 90. The Denmark international is all about the defensive contributions.
He’s been part of a defence that has averaged 1.5 goals conceded while he has been on the pitch, with 0.3 clean sheets per 90. 
The real selling point for Andersen is his 7.4 clearances per 90 which is far ahead of his Fulham defensive teammates. 
Andersen also averages 1.4 tackles made and 1.1 interceptions per 90, and all of this helps towards defensive contribution points
The Dane has hit double figures for defensive contribution points in each of his past three games, and only four players have hit the threshold more than Andersen this season.

&nbsp;
<h3>Alex Iwobi (£6.4m) &#8211; 28k transfers in</h3>
Alex Iwobi is the 10th most-signed midfielder in FPL for this gameweek. 
Considering form however, he might be the best Fulham option for this week.
The Nigerian has taken an average of 7.0 points from his past four games, contributing heavily to two Fulham wins. 
He’s scored two goals and provided one assist during that time &#8211; though there were also two blanks.
Across the season as a whole, Iwobi has averaged 0.8 shots per 90 minutes with 0.5 hitting the target. He has also boasted a conversion rate of 24% which is solid.
Creatively, Iwobi has created 1.7 chances per 90 and produced 0.4 through balls. That’s translated to 0.2 assists. 
Those aren’t exactly wild numbers, but against a team like Burnley, you’d back Iwobi to shine. 
<div id="attachment_78423" style="width: 850px" class="wp-caption alignnone"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-78423" class="wp-image-78423 size-full" src="https://cms.fantasyfootballhub.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2026/03/playerstats-Iwobi-bordered-4.jpeg" alt="" width="840" height="690" srcset="https://cms.fantasyfootballhub.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2026/03/playerstats-Iwobi-bordered-4.jpeg 840w, https://cms.fantasyfootballhub.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2026/03/playerstats-Iwobi-bordered-4-300x246.jpeg 300w, https://cms.fantasyfootballhub.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2026/03/playerstats-Iwobi-bordered-4-768x631.jpeg 768w" sizes="(max-width: 840px) 100vw, 840px" />Alex Iwobi&#8217;s <a href="https://cms.fantasyfootballhub.co.uk/opta/" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c="1" title="FPL Stats by OPTA - Player and Team Stats">stats</a></div>
&nbsp;
<h3>Calvin Bassey (£4.4m) &#8211; 11k transfers in</h3>
The other popular defensive option for Fulham is Calvin Bassey. 
Once again, he’s not a full-back, and he doesn&#8217;t offer a huge set-piece threat, so you’re not going to be bringing him in for goal contributions.
Bassey does tend to concede goals slightly more often than Andersen at 1.6 per 90, with only 0.2 assists. The difference there is minimal though and doesn&#8217;t really have a bearing on his FPL credentials.
The Nigeria defender is a decent asset when it comes to defensive contributions, and his best stat is 2.2 tackles made per 90, more than Andersen’s 1.4. 
Bassey also averages more blocked shots at 0.9 per 90, although he only manages around 4 clearances &#8211; overall he doesn&#8217;t hit defensive returns as often as Andersen, but is a reasonable second selection from the Cottagers&#8217; backline.
<div id="attachment_78422" style="width: 850px" class="wp-caption alignnone"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-78422" class="wp-image-78422 size-full" src="https://cms.fantasyfootballhub.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2026/03/playerstats-Bassey-bordered.jpeg" alt="" width="840" height="690" srcset="https://cms.fantasyfootballhub.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2026/03/playerstats-Bassey-bordered.jpeg 840w, https://cms.fantasyfootballhub.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2026/03/playerstats-Bassey-bordered-300x246.jpeg 300w, https://cms.fantasyfootballhub.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2026/03/playerstats-Bassey-bordered-768x631.jpeg 768w" sizes="(max-width: 840px) 100vw, 840px" />Calvin Bassey&#8217;s <a href="https://cms.fantasyfootballhub.co.uk/opta/" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c="1" title="FPL Stats by OPTA - Player and Team Stats">stats</a> </div>
