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.

    Bournemouth lack the incisiveness to play a possession based game. Also they don't pile enough into the box when they are on the attack.

    1. Planet Head
      • 7 Years

      Not the best movement today. Cardiff holding firm tbf. Could use a Fraser haul though, come on Ryan mate

      1. diesel001
        • 7 Years
        5 years, 2 months ago

        They are crossing into the box when all the Cardiff players are 6ft 2in and taller.

        You can see why Bournemouth are better when they take the lead, because they can't chase games.

      They miss Brooks badly

      1. diesel001
        • 7 Years
        5 years, 2 months ago

        Yes, but they should also have put Ake up front in this second half. Give them some threat in the air.

      2. Yank Revolution
        • 12 Years
        5 years, 2 months ago

        This is why I finally sold Fraser

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

    Is this worth a 4pt hit?

    Out: Haz, Sane, Long
    In: Son, Fraser, Auba

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

      I am looking at something similar

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

      Nope

    3. jia you
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 2 months ago

      Liking a mini-wc this GW, I will likely do:
      Out: Haz, Sterling, Rashford
      In: Son, Mane, Auba

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

      yeah

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

    Looks like Sterling is going to be this weeks big differential.

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

      hope so but terrified it won't work out

    2. Kiwivillan
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 2 months ago

      Well he needs 15pts to make my decision to get him instead of Hazard last week worthwhile

    3. Rust Cohle
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 2 months ago

      TC’d him.

      1. jia you

  5. Osman

    2. DGW Sane TC Fail....
      • 13 Years
      5 years, 2 months ago

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

        Yeah may as well. Might shift for Gross after that

  8. QUEN
    • 5 Years
    5 years, 2 months ago

    So when will the other dgw be confirmed?

    1. TorresMagic™
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 14 Years
      5 years, 2 months ago

      32 and 35

      Chelsea and Brighton decide the other.

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

        But atm 32 & 35 just have teams marked as possible DGW - when do these become confirmed?

        1. TorresMagic™
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • Has Moderation Rights
          • 14 Years

    F*** off Bournemouth. All they had to do was score against Cardiff and they couldn't manage that.

  14. i am jose mourinho
    • 5 Years

    First they beat chelsea and then they lose against cardiff. Ehat do you call this ?

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

      call it being great at home and awful away, which they have been all season

    2. diesel001
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 2 months ago

      They can't come from behind. They are a pure counter-attacking team.

    3. FC Hakkebøf
      • 7 Years

      Call it Premier League! Happens all the time

  15. EMBOLOFAN

    cardiff brilliant today!

  16. Team Cruel
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years
    5 years, 2 months ago

    F*** off Bournemouth. All they had to do was manage 3 attempts on target against Cardiff and they couldn't manage that.

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

      lol yeah

  17. THE SHEEP HUNTERS
    • 6 Years

    How are we 'sposed to beat those nasty bookie chaps with teams like Bournemouth, who stuff the Chelsk and offer nothing against this crock!

    1. TorresMagic™
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 14 Years

      Don't bet, simple.

      1. THE SHEEP HUNTERS
        • 6 Years
        5 years, 2 months ago

        Don't Bet!!? 😯

        What are you crazy!? Norwich @ 3/1 puts me up this week so far.

          Get membership and you'll know Cardiff would beat Bournemouth.

          1. THE SHEEP HUNTERS
            • 6 Years

            😆 Oh Man hehe!

    3. DGW Sane TC Fail....
      • 13 Years
      5 years, 2 months ago

      They will beat Liverpool 🙂

      1. THE SHEEP HUNTERS
        • 6 Years
        5 years, 2 months ago

        Wouldn't bloody surprise me.

    4. Team Cruel
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 2 months ago

      If you want to beat the bookies you need to do proper research and find value in obscure leagues.

      The only piece of real value in the Prem are Wolves. They're constantly undervalued.

      1. THE SHEEP HUNTERS
        • 6 Years
        5 years, 2 months ago

        True, and I think they have a point about Cherries away, which I ignored. Onwards and upwards.

  18. Planet Head
    • 7 Years
    5 years, 2 months ago

    Save point for Boruc. Got something out of this game then

  19. BARIO MALOTELLI
    • 5 Years

    Is there a simple summary of the DGWs somewhere?

    I get that they are not yet confirmed.

    Looks like 16 is the current safety score if bonus doesn't change.

    Someone saw Brighton game? Gross has 33 BPS, without even assist or scoring. he has very good fix.. can someone shed a light on this?

      https://www.anewpla.net/fpl/live/bps.php?gw=25&fixture=241

      Big chances created and key passes.

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

      Gross is a great player at creating chances, which results in high bps for him. He had a couple games last season where he got bonus points despite not scoring or assisting

  27. how now brown cow

    15k already transferred in higuain ahead of city away and a blank.

    Strange old world.

  28. Foozeball
    • 7 Years

    How much of Chelsea's performance today can we merely attribute to huddersfield being poor? Huddersfield were such a defensive mess

    1. THE SHEEP HUNTERS
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 2 months ago

      I give it authority, I will remember the Cherry defeat more than this hollow victory.

    1. Team Cruel
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      Yeah he's out. Won't be home for another 24 hours or so.
