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.

    How is King and Fraser playing?

    1. EMBOLOFAN
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 2 months ago

      bournemouth generally poor

  2. XabiAlonso
    • 8 Years

    And trolzard is back

    1. Salah’s Sonnet
      • 12 Years
      5 years, 2 months ago

      Not really, blank and tough fixtures now

      Happy for that last ride against Huddersfield, but I'm still selling.

    Despite being a 4k OR player, I have come to the realisation that Hazard is hindering me from doing the obvious

    I.e. Aub, Son all need a home in my team...

    1. Salah’s Sonnet
      • 12 Years
      5 years, 2 months ago

      One does not remain a seasoned 4k player 😉

      1. Patch
        • 6 Years
        5 years, 2 months ago

        What do our think to the below?

        Still have all my chips and 2FT

    2. Patch
      • 6 Years

      Robertson --> Holebas
      Hazard --> Son
      Ings --> Aub

      Gives me:

      Fab - (Button).

      Luiz - Holebas - AWB - (Bednarek) - (Peltier).

      Salah - Son - Pogba - Sane - Richarlison.

      Jiminez - Rashford - Aub

      1. GoonerSteve
        • 14 Years
        5 years, 2 months ago

        It’s very nice, I’ve got that midfield and Auba and Rashford.

        Considering dropping Richarlison to fund Jiminez.

        1. GoonerSteve
          • 14 Years
          5 years, 2 months ago

          Dropped Hazard and Famderson this week to get Son and Sane

      2. Sylas

        3-5-3? Pointless in having a benching headache.

        1. Old Man
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 12 Years
          5 years, 2 months ago

          Presumably he'll bin Richarlison soon (GW27?).

      3. jdp219
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 7 Years
        5 years, 2 months ago

        Rich > fodder to avoid headaches.

      4. Salah’s Sonnet
        • 12 Years
        5 years, 2 months ago

        I wouldn’t lose Robertson

  4. fedolefan
    • 9 Years
    5 years, 2 months ago

    So, what change that has led to Moutinho turning into prime Eriksen?

    1. Peter Ouch
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 2 months ago

      Jota

    2. Rainer
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 2 months ago

      Play with two ST, not wingers, and too holding mids.

      Gives him freedom to attack and play in the hole.

    3. Amey
      • 5 Years

      523 >>>>> 532

    4. Ghost Gooner
      • 10 Years
      5 years, 2 months ago

      He's adjusted to the league and Wolves have been playing balls to the fwds quicker lately

    5. fedolefan
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 2 months ago

      Can't really be completely ignored given his price. No one's even talking about him.

    6. Sylas
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 2 months ago

      Basically the position he plays in.

    7. ceejay106
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 2 months ago

      Several things.
      1. Change in formation. Dendoncker playing alongside Neves allows João to play in the hole
      2. Jota returning gives him another outlet
      3. He’s taking all the set pieces
      4. We are bloody good!

        1. Salah’s Sonnet
          • 12 Years

        I'm an owner so happy.
        But it's obvious that his price drop was kept on hold even though sold by over 462k people

          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 6 Years

          Digne won't play against City and Salah will score a hat-trick as his new Captain. Or something similar. Makes me sick.

          1. Burger
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 8 Years
            5 years, 2 months ago

            Or he will play and will pick up his 4th negative score in last 8 games played?

  8. mrodgers91

    Are bournemouth going to do 'after the lord mayors show'?

    1. Nomar
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years

      Looks like it. They’re playing awful at the moment.

  9. S.Kuqi
    • 11 Years
    5 years, 2 months ago

    If no major injuries will take a hit and do:

    Siggy-> Son
    Success -> Auba
    Sterling -> 5.0 mid or under

      similar story here

  10. GuillermoDickero

    5 years, 2 months ago

    A lot of people suggesting that AWB should have got the assist for the pen? Fpl have it as tbc on their Twitter - I haven't seen anything but what do people think?

    1. fedolefan
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 2 months ago

      Benteke pushed the defenders hand onto the ball. Benteke assist.

      Just kidding, he'll probably get it.

    2. HonestBlatter
      • 13 Years
      5 years, 2 months ago

      Should be given

    3. MTPockets
        5 years, 2 months ago

        Definite assist, because I played him...

      • Fingerspitzengefühl
        • 7 Years
        5 years, 2 months ago

        Thanks for the info, wasn't even aware of that. Time to unleash hell on FPL Twitter 😛

        1. GuillermoDickero
          • 9 Years
          5 years, 2 months ago

          Yeah it was news to me too! Would be a lovely gift

      • Mysterion
        • 6 Years
        5 years, 2 months ago

        Was it similar to the Burnley pen? If yes then should be given cause Crouch assist has been added

        1. GuillermoDickero
          • 9 Years
          5 years, 2 months ago

          I have no idea what it was like tbh! Just that people are adamant it's an assist and it's tbc on fpl twittee

      • GuillermoDickero
        • 9 Years
        5 years, 2 months ago

        Update - fpl have just confirmed that it's no assist! Damn!

      • Amey
        • 5 Years
        5 years, 2 months ago

        It's a potential 5 pointer.

    4. ShaunGoater123
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years

      Couple of questions if anyone can help:
      1) is son price protected?
      2) if so, until when?
      3) once not protected does if reset to zero? As in all th etransfers so far wouldn’t count?

      Cheers

      1. Amey

        Think most of us Haz owners are all doing the same thing this GW.

        The rare time when not even a double digit haul can save a player from the axe the following GW.

    6. Longlatini
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      So when does Awb’s assist get added?

      1. mir
        • 14 Years
        5 years, 2 months ago

        Really is he on for assist? Missed all afternoon games only now catching up.

    7. manu4life99
      • 14 Years
      5 years, 2 months ago

      Haz, Sane, Long to Son, Moutinho/Fraser, Auba (-4)?

    8. Nomar
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      5 years, 2 months ago

      So, I’ll play Boruc this week because him against Cardiff is a much better chance of a CS than Fabianski against Liverpool.

      Yup.

      1. EMBOLOFAN
        • 5 Years
        5 years, 2 months ago

        still technically correct, fab very likely to concede

    9. LǝgleSs e|even
      • 8 Years

      So is Higuain a thing now?

      1. Old Man
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        5 years, 2 months ago

        He won't play Huddersfield every week, Not for me.

        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 6 Years

        Possible Firmino upgrade longer term

        Yes after gw27.

    10. TheDragon
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 2 months ago

      Is the AWB ‘assist’ still being considered?

      1. Fingerspitzengefühl
        • 7 Years
        5 years, 2 months ago

        Yes, still down as TBC on FPL Twitter

        1. Fingerspitzengefühl
          • 7 Years
          5 years, 2 months ago

          And no assist given 🙁

          "For all those querying the assist for the first Palace goal, Wan Bissaka was not involved.

          After review, no assist is awarded. Benteke failed to touch McArthur's cross, which did not force the handball from Christie"

    11. HollywoodXI
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 2 months ago

      FPL Twitter re AWB “assist”:

      “For all those querying the assist for the first Palace goal, Wan Bissaka was not involved.

      After review, no assist is awarded. Benteke failed to touch McArthur's cross, which did not force the handball from Christie”

        So many of us just comment without watching. Even I just assumed AWB crossed the ball...lol

      2. Rainer
        • 7 Years
        5 years, 2 months ago

        Give it to him anyway!!

        None has had enough this season.

      3. TheDragon
        • 6 Years

        That seems inconsistent at best

      4. MTPockets

        Fellas do you think will Sterling start both games?

        Maybe he will rest vs Everton cause they have Chelsea after ?

        1. DR0GBA
          • 7 Years
          5 years, 2 months ago

          think he'll be benched against Everton but will come on late in the game... and i've captained him, triple captain infact 😛

          1. Niho992
            • 5 Years
            5 years, 2 months ago

            I just hope he will start tomorrow vs this Arsenal defence..

            1. DR0GBA
              • 7 Years
              5 years, 2 months ago

              i'm sure he will, Pep needs every win he can get at this point

        2. EMBOLOFAN
          • 5 Years
          5 years, 2 months ago

          What the guys above said is the best assumption we can make but I would add that as Pep always says, he sets his team up based on the opponents. He doesn't rotate some players as often as people think. So he could start both and start vs Chelsea in theory, but it depends how Pep wants to set up for these games specifically and if he wants to risk fatigue.

          I had the arm band in salah all week and then captained sterling at the last minute. If it wasn't for these websites I would have stuck with Salah so hopefully the crowd is right this week!

        Hazard’s ownership in top 10k? Not too worried as he is owned only by ghost ships and casuals....

          ...and people who didn’t sell before he played the worst team in the league.

            Owned him one gameweek since GW10.

            Btw sitting nicely inside top 25.

              You have exactly the same starting 11 as me but I failed to confirm Sane(c) so I am left with Salah(c) , Could be worse I suppose. (oh yes about 200K below you though)

              1. MINUS FOUR
                • Fantasy Football Scout Member
                • 6 Years

                Could go either way. Salah is always capable of a big haul.

                1. Old Man
                  • Fantasy Football Scout Member
                  • 12 Years

                  If that happened it would be extremely lucky - not at all deserved.

          I'll bite. I think you'll find its just managers who understand timing their transfers properly 🙂

          Why would you sell him before home game vs Hudd?

          Lol.

            To get trolled by bauld fraud. Cant wait for sane\sterling to get rested vs everton(for more important clash with chelsea)

            He is not troll. Huddersfield is without doubt worst team in the league.

        Looks like it's worth bringing in an attacker and a defender each week from whatever side faces Huddersfield. Will get Auba and might bring in Koka to boot for gw 26.

        1. Je suis le chat
          • 10 Years
          5 years, 2 months ago

          Kola that is.

          At least if Hud have away fixture

      14. Eytexi

        How important is bringing in Auba?

          From a life perspective, zero.

          Chelsea scored 5 against Hudds.
          Just imagine Auba against them 😀

          Imagine World no. 3 forgot to pick his team as he made no transfers this week and has no City. Nailed on for a rough with the smooth mention with Digne captain.
