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

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.

    3. Weasel Boy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    4. IAWC ( It's a Wonderfu…
      • 6 Years

      Could deliver but too expensive for a team likely to be eliminated

  5. Longlatini
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 6 Years
    5 years, 10 months ago

    Who does this guy Pervert play for?

    I was guessing France but can’t seem to find him on the list?

    1. Ask Yourself
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 10 months ago

      The guy who’s feeling Messi above

      1. Ask Yourself
        • 7 Years
        5 years, 10 months ago

        Parvard is who you’re after

            Yep. Trying to save the pennies.

    2. Epic Fail

      Pervert? The guy above that wants to feel Messi.

      1. Ask Yourself
        • 7 Years

        Oh

      2. Longlatini
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 6 Years
        5 years, 10 months ago

        How does this subs thingy work again Epic ?!

        1. FER FUSCH AKE
          • 7 Years
          5 years, 10 months ago

          if say Suarez s in your team and blanks today, you can sub him out for another player who players on a different day later provided the 3 at the back formation is not breaxhed

  6. Jimmy Boy
    • 7 Years
    5 years, 10 months ago

    (Bottomed) How's this team looking? Playing BB

    Ronaldo (c) - Lukaku - Perisic
    Coutinho - Paulinho - Lingard - Cheryshev
    Meunier - Alderweireld - Godin
    Olsen

    Subasic - Trippier - L.Hernandez - Barrios

    Suarez, Lukaku or Costa is troubling me the most at the moment. Also, is double Belgium defence too risky?

  7. Kasper the ghost keeper
    • 8 Years
    5 years, 10 months ago

    Cacares over Godin anyone? Doubling up with musclera

    1. Weasel Boy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      5 years, 10 months ago

      Think Godin has better chance of scoring.
      I'm going Godin & Mus

    2. The_Adam
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 10 months ago

      Same price so has to be Godin. What a man. I've gone for Muslera + Godin too.

    Courtois / Olsen
    Trippier / Carvajal / Granq / Dalsgaard / Akanji
    Coutinho / Isco / Modric / Quintero / Layun

  19. Epic Fail
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years

    Since when was the aim of the game to get as many points as possible? The Kia would have been mine had I known that.

    1. lilmessipran
      • 11 Years
      5 years, 10 months ago

      Coz you didn't read the rules

      1. Epic Fail
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        5 years, 10 months ago

        No point reading rules when I can learn the game from posts on here.

    2. Ginkapo FPL
      • 12 Years
      5 years, 10 months ago

      Whilst you laugh, there was the guy a few days ago going on for ages about the best strategy for chasing price rises, because like FPL its important to build your team value early if you want to win......... sacrifice points to do it if you have to

      1. Epic Fail
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        5 years, 10 months ago

        Jesus. This place never fails to surprise.

    3. willl
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 10 months ago

      wait what?

      I never got the memo on this

    4. The_Adam
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 10 months ago

      If only you'd read the rules.

      Also, just in case I end up winning... anyone fancy buying a Kia?

    5. Johnny Drama
      • 7 Years

      It’s about having fun? Isn’t it??

  20. IAWC ( It's a Wonderfu…

    What differentials people have gone for??
    I have gone for David silva

    1. Christina.
      • 14 Years
      5 years, 10 months ago

      I had him for Rd 2 & 3... 🙁

      Bound to do well know that I've dumped on him.

    2. Weasel Boy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      5 years, 10 months ago

      Carassco
      Probably a useless differential though.

      1. Johnny Drama
        • 7 Years
        5 years, 10 months ago

        This.

        😉

      you need to feel yourself

  23. Atwood
    • 13 Years
    5 years, 10 months ago

    Thoughts on this bench boost team? Wildcard intact.
    Will be waiting for Pavard news of course.

    Muslera - Olsen
    Carvajal - Aldeweireld - Pavard - Strinic - Granqvist
    Isco - Coutinho - Quintero - Claesson - Modric
    Lukaku - Kane - Costa

  24. CelticBhoy1
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    5 years, 10 months ago

    Is Carvajal, Isco & Costa too much Spain?

    1. Epic Fail
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      5 years, 10 months ago

      It is if you don't expect them t do much.

    2. dunas_dog
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 10 months ago

      Not at all

    3. Weasel Boy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      5 years, 10 months ago

      Not keen on Spain defence but Costa and Isco could do well.

    4. The_Adam
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 10 months ago

      No. I've backed them. Got 4 from Spain actually (Ramos, Alba, Isco, Costa)

  25. Jimmy Boy
    • 7 Years
    5 years, 10 months ago

    Isco or Paulinho?

    1. dunas_dog
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 10 months ago

      Isco

    2. The_Adam
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 10 months ago

      Isco

  26. jackjones
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years
    5 years, 10 months ago

    Are most people here with BB left playing it now? Or is there a good argument for playing it later?

    1. The_Adam
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 10 months ago

      Play it now. Unless you still have your wildcard and know you'll have a full squad for a later round.

  27. Kasper the ghost keeper
    • 8 Years
    5 years, 10 months ago

    Thanks in advance. Which?
    A) Mertens and Ramos

  28. JakeL04
    • 5 Years
    5 years, 10 months ago

    Greizman and Modric
    Or
    Kane and Shaqiri?

  29. Mr. Jenkins
    • 9 Years
    5 years, 10 months ago

    Messi, Lukaku, Kane
    D. Silva, Coutinho, Quintero, FODDER, FODDER
    Mojica, Meunier or [6m], T. Silva or [6m], Dalsgaard, Cacares
    Muslera, FODDER

    Looking good without any WC?
    Any better options in defence? Trippier?

    1. dunas_dog
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 10 months ago

      Some posts earlier suggested Asensio may be starting over D Silva

    2. The_Adam
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 10 months ago

      Isn't D.Silva a striker on the game?

  30. Chucky
    • 10 Years
    5 years, 10 months ago

    Inui,C.sanchez or Gazinski?
