Best Bournemouth players to sign on FPL in 2018/19 – The Complete Members’ Analysis

2,255 Comments

Josh King, Charlie Daniels, Junior Stanislas, Nathan Ake: Bournemouth players have mostly been good to Fantasy managers since the club’s promotion to the Premier League in 2015, offering decent returns for minimal investment.

Last season’s offerings were something of a disappointment from a Fantasy perspective, however, with no Bournemouth player reaching double figures for goals, assists or clean sheets.

King scored half as many goals (eight) as he managed in 2016/17, while Jordan Ibe’s total of six assists was the best any Cherries player could muster.

The Bournemouth defence was particularly porous, meanwhile, keeping only six clean sheets (a league-low shared with relegated Stoke City) in their 38 league matches.

Part of Bournemouth’s appeal from a Fantasy standpoint is that by now we mostly know what to expect from the south coast side. Eddie Howe is the longest-serving manager in the Premier League, following Arsene Wenger’s departure from Arsenal, having been on the books at the Vitality Stadium for well over five years. Many of Bournemouth’s players have also been with the club for an extended period: King, Daniels, Stanislas, Ryan Fraser, Adam Smith, Simon Francis, Steve Cook and Callum Wilson, among others, have featured in all three seasons that the Cherries have spent in the top flight.

While Howe’s formation is far from settled, having flip-flopped between a conventional back four and a three-man defence last season, the Cherries’ mantra remains comfortingly consistent: attack and attack some more.

    The hardest according to me is which goalkeepers to go with. Two playing ones or just one to free up son cash.

    What duo have you gone for?

      The three consecutive starts are the exact reason people think he's a doubt.

      Kompany coming on for ten minutes to check he's fit has to be a red flag for Boyata owners. Playing 90 v England is more a neg than a positive in terms of being in the first XI

    I'm not sold on the Modric love.
    It's got to be mainly penalty and VAR?

    bench boost is a hindrance rather than a benefit in this game. If one of the player blanks it's more annoying when playing the bb as normally you can just sub them out

    Also, I am guessing any player you want to captain you have to start in your 11?
