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.

    Marmoush to Watkins that I decided not to do … winning

  3. Ruinenlust

    Why Mbeumo no bonus ?

    1. RICICLE
      • 3 Years
      10 months, 23 days ago

      What did he do?

      1. nanxun
        • 4 Years
        10 months, 23 days ago

        Konsa yc. Stupid move.

      2. Ruinenlust
        • 8 Years
        10 months, 23 days ago

        Assist for the only goal in the game?

        1. RICICLE
          • 3 Years
          10 months, 23 days ago

          1 assist never usually is enough reason for bonus? He mustn’t of done much outside of that

    2. Brehmeren
      • 15 Years
      10 months, 23 days ago

      Because he didn't aquire enough BPS

    3. g40steve
      • 8 Years
      10 months, 23 days ago

      CS need more than an A

  4. nanxun
    • 4 Years
    10 months, 23 days ago

    Need one more save from Emi.

    1. Deer-in-headlights
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      10 months, 23 days ago

      Make it a pen save.

  5. Baps Hunter
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years
    10 months, 23 days ago

    The only thing good about Kluivert us that he is playing at least okayish. I will keep him unless injured. May be even better gw38 differential now.

  6. Scapegoat Salah
    • 9 Years
    10 months, 23 days ago

    Of course Watkins got subbed early when I had him last week (rolls eyes)

    1. WVA
      • 9 Years
      10 months, 23 days ago

      Benched Konsa, 8 pointer!

      1. Gudjohnsen
        • 9 Years
        10 months, 23 days ago

        7 pointer

        1. WVA
          • 9 Years
          10 months, 23 days ago

          5 pointer

  7. The Suspended One
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    10 months, 23 days ago

    16 from 3 on BB

    Your turn Trippier

  8. Edalock
    • 8 Years
    10 months, 23 days ago

    Wipe out the villa CS please

  9. Sgt. Schultz
    • 9 Years
    10 months, 23 days ago

    Konsa YC

    1. Ruinenlust
      • 8 Years
      10 months, 23 days ago

      Beautiful

  10. nanxun
    • 4 Years
    10 months, 23 days ago

    Konsa yc. [Misposted]

  11. Sun Jihai
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    10 months, 23 days ago

    Konsa -3 point YC

    1. It’s gonna Ben Mee
      • 12 Years
      10 months, 23 days ago

      Story of my season

  12. The Philosopher
    • 5 Years
    10 months, 23 days ago

    Rogers subbed off. Why are they even playing anymore....

    1. WVA
      • 9 Years
      10 months, 23 days ago

      So Konsa can get a YC

  13. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
    • 15 Years
    10 months, 23 days ago

    Salah is going to run riot tomorrow

    1. WVA
      • 9 Years
      10 months, 23 days ago

      Will he come on?

    2. WVA
      • 9 Years
      10 months, 23 days ago

      I’ve capped him last few weeks and he definitely hasn’t run riot

    3. have you seen cyan
      • 6 Years
      10 months, 23 days ago

      Doubt it, it'll probably be a stinker all round.

      1. Utopsis
        • 6 Years
        10 months, 23 days ago

        This

  14. Skout
    • 6 Years
    10 months, 23 days ago

    Extremely frustrating when your player gets a yellow, even more when they lose 2 bonus!! (Konsa)

  15. WVA
    • 9 Years
    10 months, 23 days ago

    Are we sure Watkins touched it 😉 Rogers goal!

  16. Sun Jihai
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    10 months, 23 days ago

    Konsa two CS in a row on my bench
    I'm starting him next GW!

    1. WVA
      • 9 Years
      10 months, 23 days ago

      I’m benching him AGAIN so it should be 3 in a row

  17. Feanor
    • 16 Years
    10 months, 23 days ago

    On 49 from 7, and one of those was Cunha who I brought in for Mateta.

    1. Feloh
      • 9 Years
      10 months, 23 days ago

      I brought and captained Cunha. Game week ruined.

    2. Utopsis
      • 6 Years
      10 months, 23 days ago

      49 is a monster haul

    3. Silecro
      • 8 Years
      10 months, 23 days ago

      And Im scrapping 21 from 5 here...

  18. Feloh
    • 9 Years
    10 months, 23 days ago

    Huge 8 pointer from Emi there. Would have been 9 if he didn't pick a dumb YC.

    1. Bushwhacker
      • 6 Years
      10 months, 23 days ago

      Does he ever not get a yellow card? Time wastinf magnet

  19. Nightcrawler
    • 6 Years
    10 months, 23 days ago

    really poor game with no villa

    gw entirely dependent on wood(c) now

  20. Total Slotball
    • 10 Years
    10 months, 23 days ago

    Martinez been going under the radar with sneaky points. What a guy

    1. Feanor
      • 16 Years
      10 months, 23 days ago

      Great English accent too

    2. RICICLE
      • 3 Years
      10 months, 23 days ago

      Learnt my lesson last week and played him this gameweek hehe

      1. MikeS
        • 11 Years
        10 months, 23 days ago

        Same

        1. Pep bites Kun
          • 9 Years
          10 months, 23 days ago

          Same

    3. djman102
      • 16 Years
      10 months, 23 days ago

      When I BBed in 32, I was so glad I hadn't done Kepa-->Martinez. Unfortunately,
      he's more than made up for that since.

    4. Deer-in-headlights
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      10 months, 23 days ago

      Benching Raya for Emi has gone well lately.

  21. Eightball
    • 5 Years
    10 months, 23 days ago

    I had Wissa, Cunha, KDB as differentials against my ML rival and I played Assman on Guardiola and so far i've gained a grand total of 3 points on him this week. ive got Eze + N.Williams and he has Isak, Mateta and Murphy left as different picks. Watch him finish ahead of me this week. This game really has a way of pissing me off like nothing else haha

    1. Pep bites Kun
      • 9 Years
      10 months, 23 days ago

      Just bad luck - variance. Good players, good fixtures

    2. Amsterhammer
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      10 months, 23 days ago

      Unlucky. Cunha and KDB looked likely to haul today.

  22. Nightcrawler
    • 6 Years
    10 months, 23 days ago

    at least asensio will get more minutes vs Spurs now

    benched him this gw but looks like a good fixture for him to let us down one more time

  23. CoracAld2831
    • 5 Years
    10 months, 23 days ago

    Rogers & Konsa 11 pts, yay!

    Now if only I had used the bench boost...

  24. Atimis
    • 9 Years
    10 months, 23 days ago

    Damn that Konsa yc but will still take Rogers and Konsa on BB today

    1. Pep bites Kun
      • 9 Years
      10 months, 23 days ago

      Well done! Bol for the rest

      1. Atimis
        • 9 Years
        10 months, 23 days ago

        Raya Trippier to go

  25. It’s gonna Ben Mee
    • 12 Years
    10 months, 23 days ago

    ML rival has Martinez and I have Konsa. That 91st minute YC was my season in a nutshell.

  26. Sun Jihai
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    10 months, 23 days ago

    Funnily enough the cheapest forward I could find to fund Haaland was my hero this GW - Beto!
    Southampton at home for last game at Goodison Park next too, really like that fixture

  27. MikeS
    • 11 Years
    10 months, 23 days ago

    Isak to Watkins tempting

    1. Pep bites Kun
      • 9 Years
      10 months, 23 days ago

      That decision's a day away

    2. Atimis
      • 9 Years
      10 months, 23 days ago

      Yeah even (c)

  28. circusmonkey
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 15 Years
    10 months, 23 days ago

    10 point BB. It is happening on week 1 next year. Fewer doubles, get it out of the way. Didn't do me any harm a few years ago.

    1. Pep bites Kun
      • 9 Years
      10 months, 23 days ago

      'Mad as a Circus Monkey', but there's merit in what you say. It really does hamper strategic gw decision-making and takes up a lot of time to 'try' to get right; for 15+ pts? I had 30+ points twice on my bench before I BB'd. I'll think differently on this chip next season.

  29. Skout
    • 6 Years
    10 months, 23 days ago

    Got 2 FTs, any suggestions? 4.7itb

    Raya
    Gvardiol Munoz Konsa
    Salah Mbeumo Rogers Sarr
    Isak Marmoush Mateta

    Areola Savinho Bradley Kiwior

    1. F4L
      • 11 Years
      10 months, 23 days ago

      would get watkins for mateta, and maybe Aina? for someone. maybe for bradley, as i expect taa will get to start his last match

  30. F4L
    • 11 Years
    10 months, 23 days ago

    just watching the highlights, cunha was lucky not to be sent off no?

    1. circusmonkey
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      10 months, 22 days ago

      Yeah, apparently, that's what they said on the radio.
