Bournemouth without Wilson and Brooks at Cardiff

Bournemouth are without both Callum Wilson (£6.4m) and David Brooks (£5.1m) for their Gameweek 25 trip to Cardiff City.

Dominic Solanke (£4.7m) comes in for the latter, who was reported to be injured for several weeks in the media on Friday night.

Eddie Howe has deployed the former Liverpool man, making his Premier League debut, alongside the in-form Josh King (£6.4m) at the front of a 4-4-2 formation.

Meanwhile, Ryan Fraser (£6.1m) and Junior Stanislas (£6.0m) retain their places on the flanks.

Victor Camarasa (£4.6m) remains absent for Cardiff, meaning another start in central midfield for Aron Gunnarsson (£4.4m).

Oumar Niasse (£5.0m) leads the Bluebirds’ line, with Callum Paterson (£5.0m) pushed out onto the right wing.

Bournemouth XI: Boruc; Smith, Ake, S Cook, Clyne; Fraser, Surman, Gosling, Stanislas; King, Solanke.

Cardiff XI: Etheridge; Bennett, Bamba, Ecuele Manga, Peltier; Reid, Ralls, Gunnarsson; Murphy, Paterson; Niasse.

    Gross 3 bonus. What a guy!

    1. Maddi Son
      • 6 Years

      Hopefully should sneak under the radar nicely with the blank coming up. If Locadia wasn't such a donkey he would've hauled big time today.

    This defence too cheap?

    Robertson Doherty AWB Bednarek Valery/Peltier

    1. Top Lad Dakes.
      • 7 Years

      Maybe. Same first 4 here though, but for the 5th spot I’m dropping Alonso to TAA or Pereira

      1. davies
        • 9 Years
        5 years, 3 months ago

        What’s your front 7?

          • 7 Years
          5 years, 3 months ago

          If I do what I plan to this week (Alonso Hazard to TAA Son), i can have:

          Salah Son Sane Pogba Camarasa
          Auba Jimenez Rashford

          1. Pat Bonner
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 12 Years
            5 years, 3 months ago

            Identical to my team!

    2. Andy Mac
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      Don’t double up on Soton. You need one better player than Val/Pelt imo

      1. davies
        • 9 Years
        5 years, 3 months ago

        Bennett @ 4.1?

    3. Deulofail
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      No such thing as 'too cheap' unless you'e not spending your whole 100m+ budget

      1. davies
        • 9 Years
        5 years, 3 months ago

        Would you be comfortable with that?

        1. Deulofail
          • 8 Years
          5 years, 3 months ago

          Would depend on the rest of the team and my strategy with it. There's no reason to not be comfortable with it on the basis of the players and prices themselves imo. They all look like reasonable value or better. (Not sure about Pelt/Val, but nothing wrong with looking in the bargain basement in principle, especially if they will be your 2-3rd sub most weeks))

          1. Deulofail
            • 8 Years
            5 years, 3 months ago

            tl;dr - it's not too cheap

    4. The Baby-faced Assassin
      • 11 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      I will have same next week apart from Bennett instead of Valery/Peltier

      1. davies
        • 9 Years
        5 years, 3 months ago

        Yeah thinking that

        What’s your front 7?

        1. The Baby-faced Assassin
          • 11 Years
          5 years, 3 months ago

          Team link in profile. Plan is to do Digne > Bednarek so I can do Richy > Son

    5. IAWC ( It's a Wonderfu…
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      I have taa doch Jonny bed pelt and I am comfortable with it.Wolves double up decent till gw29 and taa back fit too atleast for bgw

  3. Deulofail
    • 8 Years
    5 years, 3 months ago

    If I knew Solanke would start for sure, I'd have played him over Aubameyang. Saying it now so people will believe me when I say if after Solanke outscores Auba 😀

    1. Pat Bonner
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      Cardiff are awful but still think I’d play Aubameyang

    2. Amey
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      Auba can score against city i think.
      At least that's what i hope for 🙂

      1. Deulofail
        • 8 Years
        5 years, 3 months ago

        Me too! Solanke to demonstrate his worth would be a nice bonus (especially is Pogba doesn't turn up 😀 )

        1. Amey
          • 5 Years
          5 years, 3 months ago

          Ha ha.
          Nice. Though i hope Pogba does coz i have Digne 😀

  4. pakornk
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 7 Years
    5 years, 3 months ago

    could Son rise tonight?

    1. mrodgers91
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      Looking likely. Everyone on here is talking about getting and already over 20k new owners

  5. THE SHEEP HUNTERS
    • 6 Years
    5 years, 3 months ago

    Betting Boots On.

    Norwich @ 3/1 to beat Leeds to go top.

    Norwich and Cherries double nigh on 8/1. C'mon!

  6. +
    • 8 Years
    5 years, 3 months ago

    a) Hazard + Gallagher > Puncheon + Auba
    b) Digne + Hazard + Rashford > 3.8 + Son + Auba (-4)

    Essentially comes down to Rashford > Son (-4), which I think could be worth it?

    1. MTPockets
        5 years, 3 months ago

        Puncheon was benched today and Rashford vs ful, so not a huge fan of either.
        But A if had to choose

        1. +
          • 8 Years
          5 years, 3 months ago

          a) is just swapping Hazard for Auba really, which looks pretty good to me. Puncheon is the only midfielder I can afford.

          1. MTPockets
              5 years, 3 months ago

              True, just that huddersfield play in 27/31/33 so assumed that was a filler for those games.
              Would probably get max 2pts anyway though so fair point.

              1. +
                • 8 Years
                5 years, 3 months ago

                Yeah I wouldn't be too pressed if he didn't play.

      • Plymouth
        • 11 Years
        5 years, 3 months ago

        Hazard I love you

        1. Plymouth
          • 11 Years
          5 years, 3 months ago

          And Luiz

        2. Les Bleus
          • 12 Years
          5 years, 3 months ago

          Happy I had him for this week but I just hope the door doesn’t hit him too hard on his way out of my team.

      • pakornk
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 7 Years
        5 years, 3 months ago

        After Chelsea's match tonight, next gw vs Man City should be interesting indeed.

      • SEXY SALAH
        • 7 Years
        5 years, 3 months ago

        Ings to Jimenez, or wait on Ings news?

        1. Numb
          • 9 Years
          5 years, 3 months ago

          What Ings news would put you off that move?

          1. SEXY SALAH
            • 7 Years
            5 years, 3 months ago

            Cardiff at home next

            1. Numb
              • 9 Years
              5 years, 3 months ago

              That wouldn’t really be news

              1. SEXY SALAH
                • 7 Years
                5 years, 3 months ago

                If Ings is fit to play I mean

        2. Dannyb
          • 7 Years
          5 years, 3 months ago

          Just do it, Ings is such a lightweight.

        3. mrodgers91
          • 6 Years
          5 years, 3 months ago

          I would have had jiminez over ings anyway. Mans got more points that aguero right now and massively in form

        4. Les Bleus
          • 12 Years
          5 years, 3 months ago

          Get Jimi anyway

      • Andy Mac
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 6 Years
        5 years, 3 months ago

        Aguero + Haz > Auba + Son (free)

        Would you also do:
        Laporte > Robertson or TAA or Kola for -4??

        1. FER FUSCH AKE
          • 7 Years
          5 years, 3 months ago

          I'm scared of losing hazard after holding through out all the blanks.

      • Pat Bonner
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        5 years, 3 months ago

        My team looks amazing next gw!! 20 point week incoming

        1. FDMS All Starz
          • 8 Years

          B also has Richarlison

            • 7 Years
            5 years, 3 months ago

            Boruc just conceded, already the all-player haul ends haha, typical!

            The real Bonner would've held out longer than that.

          I thought about TC last night on Haz, didn't even Captain him in the end.

        2. Planet Head
          • 7 Years

      • Numb

        Hopefully Hazard will price rise

        1. fr3d
          • 6 Years
          5 years, 3 months ago

          He will drop.

      • fenixri
        • 7 Years

        • Fantasy Football Scout Member

              1. MTPockets
                  5 years, 3 months ago

                  I meant who would you be selling.
                  No I'd get Auba - but not for -8

                        Think I'd just sell Hazard and wait a week on Auba

              Just seen the Palace penalty incident. Can someone explain to me how that wasn't given as a Wan-Bissaka assist?

              His cross hits the Fulham player on the hand with no touches between.

                Ah was looking to see if you'd post. You should make more drunken transfers!

                    • 14 Years
                    5 years, 3 months ago

                    The Jesus bit was the best part of that double transfer, imo. It's going to be a very smooth week for you 🙂

                    1. SpaceCadet
                      • 10 Years
                      5 years, 3 months ago

                      Think Jesus might be benched tomorrow but will unleash his wrath against Everton

            8. Patch
              • 6 Years
              5 years, 3 months ago

              Which player more important to get in?

              Son
              Aub

              1. Andy Mac
                • Fantasy Football Scout Member
                • 6 Years
                5 years, 3 months ago

                Both. Simples

              2. Amey
                • 5 Years
                5 years, 3 months ago

                Auba based on fixture next gw

              3. Rainer
                • 7 Years
                5 years, 3 months ago

                Probably the one you'd captain in GW27, ideally have both by then anyway.

            9. DR0GBA
              • 7 Years
              5 years, 3 months ago

              Sterling + Sane + Ings > Son + Jota + Auba (-4)

              Good transfers? I'll wait until later next week to make them

              A) Yes
              B) No

              It means I'm getting 3 players who will play in 27 and removing 3 who probably won't if Ings is injured..

                Could easily pay off though.

                  Sterling and Sane against Chelsea could go either way tbf but think the players i'm getting in will pay off possibly this week and long term

                To make room for Son (or as a part of getting in Auba)

                Too much value for me to throw away though, as I got him in at 7.8

                To afford Aub and Son...

              I love how people who decided to Sell Haz before the hud game now complains and calls him a troll because he scored a brace. He was playing argueably the worst team in the league. It was not the right time to sell him. End of story. Really

                    I don't even think he's a troll. He's just playing back in his preferred position against the worst team in the PL.

                      I agree. Would have been a troll had he blanked today and hauled vs City.
