There’s one more Premier League match to come today: Bournemouth v Aston Villa.

Kick-off on the south coast is at 17:30 BST.

There are three changes for the hosts, one of which sees Antoine Semenyo return to the starting XI.

After Semenyo’s surprise demotion to the bench in Gameweek 35, this time it’s the turn of Justin Kluivert to drop down to the substitutes.

Julian Araujo also makes way as Adam Smith and Alex Scott are reinstated to the line-up.

Dango Ouattara is, of course, absent with a groin issue. He’s not expected to feature again this season.

Aston Villa boss Unai Emery goes one better than Andoni Iraola, making four changes.

There are two alterations in defence as Tyrone Mings and Lucas Digne come in for the benched Pau Torres and Ian Maatsen.

In midfield, Amadou Onana and Jacob Ramsey start in place of Youri Tielemans and John McGinn.

LINE-UPS

Bournemouth XI: Kepa; Smith, Zabarnyi, Huijsen, Kerkez; Adams, Cook; Tavernier, Scott, Semenyo, Evanilson.

Subs: Dennis, Senesi, Brooks, Kluivert, Soler, Jebbison, Araujo, Hill, Winterburn.

Aston Villa XI: Martinez; Cash, Konsa, Mings, Digne; Onana, Kamara; Ramsey, Asensio, Rogers, Watkins.

Subs: Olsen, Disasi, Barkley, McGinn, Torres, Garcia, Malen, Maatsen, Bailey.

  8. Drizzle

    Watkins goal makes my Cunha hit feel a little better.

  9. Punned It
    • 1 Year
    10 months, 29 days ago

    I was all like well at least Kerkez is halfway to a cleanie.

  10. WVA
    • 9 Years
    10 months, 29 days ago

    Rogersssssssss

    Need that hattrick now

  11. Scapegoat Salah
    • 9 Years
    10 months, 29 days ago

    Why didn’t Watkins do that last week FFS

  12. Baines on Toast...
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 15 Years
    10 months, 29 days ago

    I want to enter a version of this game for people who don't have time to hang around before the deadline waiting for team leaks

    1. WVA
      • 9 Years
      10 months, 29 days ago

      People who do have that time brought in Haaland for a hit lol

      1. Baps Hunter
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        10 months, 29 days ago

        And I also sold Salah for Kluivert 😉 (-4)

      2. Baines on Toast...
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 15 Years
        10 months, 29 days ago

        People sold Marmoush for Wood and would never have done otherwise

        1. WVA
          • 9 Years
          10 months, 29 days ago

          Nearly all for a hit! Might work in our favour still
          Most got Wissa though

        2. Pep bites Kun
          • 9 Years
          10 months, 29 days ago

          That's a fact. That's what I did. Already had Wissa.

          I don't like the practise and I'd prefer if there either were no leaks, which isn't practical, or a way to lessen the impact and level the playing field.

          The time suited for me to review, corroborate, and I did it within 5 mins of deadline.

          1. Pep bites Kun
            • 9 Years
            10 months, 29 days ago

            FT btw

    2. Radulfo28773
      • 4 Years
      10 months, 29 days ago

      Agreed. It would be as easy as moving the deadline to 24h before the first game.

      1. Pep bites Kun
        • 9 Years
        10 months, 29 days ago

        I'd go for this. Suits my timeline.

      2. Sun Jihai
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        10 months, 29 days ago

        That would be rubbish
        Noone wants to be doing their teams at 3pm on a Friday

        1. Benedict_Alexander_Arnold
          • 1 Year
          10 months, 29 days ago

          What does the lead singer of Herman’s Hermits have to do with this?

      3. Pep bites Kun
        • 9 Years
        10 months, 29 days ago

        As long as we have access to the latest presser information; time to digest/analyse and act. It'll make it more difficult for the content creators I'd imagine.

    3. Scholes Out For Summer
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      10 months, 29 days ago

      they just need to make the deadline the same time as kickoff.

      then everyone has the team sheets and theres no need for leaks. It's so easy

  13. Mr. O'Connell
    • 13 Years
    10 months, 29 days ago

    Rogers in my team average 1.4 ppg

    Out of team 10+

    1. WVA
      • 9 Years
      10 months, 29 days ago

      Never bench, never start lol

    2. TallestJohn
      • 9 Years
      10 months, 29 days ago

      How long have you owned him?

  14. Pep's Money Laundry
    • 10 Years
    10 months, 29 days ago

    Of course Rogers returned when I benched him, watch the other troll Sarr blank just to rub it in even more

    1. Gudjohnsen
      • 9 Years
      10 months, 29 days ago

      first on my bench

  15. keefy59
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 7 Years
    10 months, 29 days ago

    I predict a bit of PL fixture chaos next season
    Sky in the UK covering 215 live games over 38 gameweeks
    Doing the maths that's an average of 5.6 live games every gameweek
    Potentially 10 PL teams playing in Europe

    1. The Philosopher
      • 5 Years
      10 months, 29 days ago

      Just when I was looking to BB GW1 next season, Keefy59 pulls me back in to wait for a DGW.

  16. Gudjohnsen
    • 9 Years
    10 months, 29 days ago

    Team of the week looking horrible atm

    Used FH and no Isak, Salah, Saka or Palmer.

    Will for sure be punished tomorrow.

  17. RICICLE
    • 3 Years
    10 months, 29 days ago

    Of course it’s Rogers, of course

  18. JBG
    • 7 Years
    10 months, 29 days ago

    I didn't want any points in BB anyways

    1. JBG
      • 7 Years
      10 months, 29 days ago

      On my*

  19. Jordan.
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 16 Years

    rival (w)atkins,inevitable,* switches over to golf*

    1. Mr. O'Connell
      • 13 Years
      10 months, 29 days ago

      Your rival is pretty good, ngl

      1. AC/DC AFC
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        10 months, 29 days ago

        At least he's consistent

        Compared to that guy on the bike often moaning but also saying he's top 5k rank or something like that

  20. KanuLenoMeeMoCash
    • 5 Years
    10 months, 29 days ago

    When did reactions like Ramsey's stop being a red?

    1. lilmessipran
      • 13 Years
      10 months, 29 days ago

      They never were, and they never should be.

      1. KanuLenoMeeMoCash
        • 5 Years
        10 months, 29 days ago

        They were
        Sticking the forehead in has got a fair few sent off
        I agree they shouldn't be, but they definitely were for a time

  21. MikeS
    • 11 Years
    10 months, 29 days ago

    Villa will concede here for sure, I have Martinez

  22. Sgt. Schultz
    • 9 Years
    10 months, 29 days ago

    Martinez YC

  23. el polako
    • 8 Years
    10 months, 29 days ago

    I’ve been out all day.
    How humble was Haaland today?

    1. CoracAld2831
      • 5 Years
      10 months, 29 days ago

      Played 90 minutes and blanked.

      I'd say pretty humble.

    2. The Philosopher
      • 5 Years
      10 months, 29 days ago

      He was so humble he almost forgot he was a professional footballer.

    3. Not again Shirley
      • 9 Years
      10 months, 29 days ago

      If humble is another word for bad then yes he was very humble today. Don’t think he ever had a shot. Against Southampton that is extra poor. Matched by the now rubbish Phil Foden.

      1. Baps Hunter
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        10 months, 29 days ago

        Foden actually looked better for 10-15 minutes on 2nd half. KdB was perhaps best MCI player, but not old himself.

    4. el polako
      • 8 Years
      10 months, 29 days ago

      What a humble guy!

    5. Baps Hunter
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      10 months, 29 days ago

      Service was bad, but here is in better form than Palmer imo.

    6. tiger
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      10 months, 29 days ago

      He showed Southampton immense respect...truly humble!

    7. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
      • 15 Years
      10 months, 29 days ago

      Minutes in

      Getting ready to score in the cup final and win a trophy

    8. Utopsis
      • 6 Years
      10 months, 29 days ago

      Diaa on the other hand - far from humble

  24. Baps Hunter
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years
    10 months, 29 days ago

    Hopefully Kluivert got his rest and does something else than Cunha.

  25. Sun Jihai
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    10 months, 29 days ago

    Konsa CS on my bench yet again after doing nothing when I BBed him
    Rival with double Villa defence too!

    1. Baps Hunter
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      10 months, 29 days ago

      This season is over soon. About worst ever for me.

  26. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
    • 15 Years
    10 months, 29 days ago

    Kluivert potentially off the table for gw38. Don’t know when he starts these days

    Slim pickings for good picks going into the last few gameweeks

    1. have you seen cyan
      • 6 Years
      10 months, 29 days ago

      Semenyo instead then. I like Enciso for a two week punt too.

    2. Baps Hunter
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      10 months, 29 days ago

      Evanilson does look like he has hip injury. Kluivert will certainly start gw38 now, thx for trolling that out of me 🙂

  27. Digital-Real
    • 9 Years
    10 months, 29 days ago

    Does Fabio Borges copy Mikkel Tokvam? their teams are identical and similar rank, also they both played their chips on the same gameweeks. Fishy!

  28. KanuLenoMeeMoCash
    • 5 Years
    10 months, 29 days ago

    is anything happening in the Bou v Villa game?
    Stats remain the same since HT, 30 min ago

    1. DARK SIDE OF THE LOON
      • 9 Years
      10 months, 29 days ago

      Check distance ran.

  29. Sun Jihai
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    10 months, 29 days ago

    Ramsey red card

    1. AC/DC AFC
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      10 months, 29 days ago

      Soft

    2. The Senate
      • 7 Years
      10 months, 29 days ago

      Awful reffing.

  30. g40steve
    • 8 Years
    10 months, 29 days ago

    Evan he looks deadly with supply
