A non-numeric value encountered Laravel5.5 on Migration

I am getting this error [ErrorException] A non-numeric value encountered when I give an artisan command php artisan migrate:fresh --seed.

[ErrorException] A non-numeric value encountered

php artisan migrate:fresh --seed

This issue arised when I upgraded to php 7.1 in xammp.

When I am not seeding the error does not occur.

Below is the model factory

$factory->define(AppClients::class, function (Faker $faker) {
return [
'firstname' => $faker->firstName($gender = null|'male'|'female'),
'lastname' => $faker->lastName($gender = null|'male'|'female'),
'email' => $faker->unique()->safeEmail,
'phone' => $faker->e164PhoneNumber(),
'country' => $faker->country(),
'university' => $faker->city()
];
});

Is there a workaround on this issue?

Thanks in advance

This is the cause of the error:
'firstname' => $faker->firstName($gender = null|'male'|'female'),
'lastname' => $faker->lastName($gender = null|'male'|'female'),

You can just use:
'firstname' => $faker->firstName(),
'lastname' => $faker->lastName(),

So that it won't return that error mention above by AbraCadaver
