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.

      I don't understand this.

      Lukaku - 70/40
      Hazard - 88/24

      There's a reason strikers are categorized as strikers. They score more goals. Add on the fact that Lukaku is well rested, a big physical presence vs a smaller Japan team and it's not close imo. You have to pick Lukaku on paper.

      I can understand getting both but picking Hazard over Lukaku is really not a good idea just for the sake of a differential.

        One is a renowned big game player, the other a renowned bottle job. Hazard has had way more shots per minute and key passes than Lukaku. It's far from clear cut. I think it's very close between them.

        Assists get points too, and Hazard gets a lot more assists than Lukaku.

        Lukaku went off injured in his last match.

        Hazard is on pens.

        Not as straightforward as you claim.
