Boost for best Bournemouth options after Wilson return

Callum Wilson‘s (£6.3m) return from injury looks set to act as a catalyst for interest in Bournemouth options ahead of Blank Gameweek 31.

The Cherries got their first Premier League away win since October on Saturday as Wilson inspired a 2-0 victory at Huddersfield.

After losing the previous nine on the road in a row, by a combined score of 28-4, Gameweek 30 proved a confidence boost for them.

“We needed it. We really felt for the supporters in that time without an away win so we’re really pleased for them. They had a long journey, left early and we rewarded them with a good clinical performance. We were good in attack and solid in defence so it’s a really good day.” – Eddie Howe

With home fixtures confirmed in both upcoming Blank Gameweeks, we’ve done further analysis on the best Bournemouth options available right now, and the impact of Wilson’s return.

Huddersfield Town 0-2 Bournemouth

Goals: Callum Wilson (£6.3m), Ryan Fraser (£6.1m)

Assists: Fraser, Wilson

No player had more shots on target than Wilson in Bournemouth’s 2-0 win at Huddersfield on Saturday afternoon. Both of his shots inside the box were accurate, with one of them handing him the first goal since his last start all the way back in Gameweek 23. The forward’s energetic display also helped him provide an assist, rounding off a complete Fantasy performance and an 11-point haul. With Newcastle coming to the Vitality Stadium in the first of the remaining two Blank Gameweeks, and Burnley after that, interest in Wilson is expected to be high.

“He’s outstanding, he has unique attributes for us with his ability to run in behind and his work ethic. He knows where the goal is and it was great to see him score, he also provided an impressive assist for Ryan in a key moment in the game with a great reverse pass. My priority is to make sure he’s fit and fine, he might be looking at the England situation but I’m pleased to see him score and play well.” – Eddie Howe

The return of Wilson also appears to have helped Ryan Fraser (£6.1m) rediscover his golden touch. At the John Smith’s Stadium, no player created more chances than Bournemouth’s diminutive left-winger. In the absence of the England international, Fraser had not registered a single attacking return since Gameweek 22. The two have now played together twice between then and Gameweek 30, and Fraser has two goals and two assists in those matches, one of each coming at Huddersfield. Those wanting to invest in the Bournemouth attack over the Blank Gameweeks with more space in midfield than among the forwards should seriously consider Fraser now that Wilson is back in the side.

“That’s a prime example of our performance, it’s a really nice passage of play – the interchange of passes (between Fraser and Wilson) were excellent to see. It’s the kind of goal we scored early in the season, the team has been hit with injuries but it’s great to see that fluency back today.” – Eddie Howe

Those looking to sign Fraser might just want to wait until the next pre-match press conference for Bournemouth though. The Scottish international was able to complete the 90 minutes in West Yorkshire but did take a few heavy hits. Meanwhile, David Brooks (£5.1m), making his second start in a row since coming back from injury, did have to be replaced by Dominic Solanke (£5.0m), but Howe believes he will be okay.

“David Brooks was fine he was just very fatigued. Ryan took a couple of nasty tackles. We hope there are no ill-effects from that.” – Eddie Howe

Josh King (£6.5m) should not be overlooked too casually as he had more goal attempts than any other player at Huddersfield on Saturday afternoon, although fewer in the box than Wilson. The Norwegian did not register any attacking returns in Gameweek 30 but has scored in three of his last four at the Vitality Stadium.

There were other boosts for Bournemouth as they had Jefferson Lerma (£4.5m) back in central midfield after serving a two-match suspension. Having him in the side in the Blank Gameweeks should help the Cherries live up to their potential against Newcastle and Burnley.

“It’s a great boost to have Jeff back. Whenever he has been missing this season we have felt that absence. He is a real physical presence for us. I think he’s been excellent. He is another player who has come into the Premier League, improved, and is learning with every game. Naturally, he plays his way and I don’t think he’s changed that. He had been unfortunate with a few of his yellow cards.” – Eddie Howe

In defence, Chris Mepham (£4.5m) appears to be growing into the side with each passing Gameweek. Despite an uncertain first start against Wolves in Gameweek 27, he has looked a lot more assured as he fills in for long-term absentee Steve Cook (£4.4m). As interest in Bournemouth defensive assets grows, the former Brentford man is one of the nailed-on options.

“It has been really good early signs for Chris. He has attacked it really well so far. Mentally he has shown real maturity and hasn’t been fazed by the occasions and the games. I have been really pleased with him and I see signs of a leader in there as well, which is a great sign for the future.” – Eddie Howe

Meanwhile, it there was an eighth start in a row for Artur Boruc (£4.0m) in the Bournemouth goal, continuing his potential for those who are playing the Free Hit in Gameweek 31. The clean sheet recorded at Huddersfield was the first on the road since Gameweek 10, but in home matches, there is plenty to encourage investment in the Bournemouth back-line. In their last four at the Vitality Stadium, the Cherries have conceded just twice.

Elsewhere in the defence, Nathan Aké (£5.0m) continues to be an ever-present although is slightly dearer. The full-back spots don’t look quite so settled. Charlie Daniels (£4.1m) has started the last two in a row, but they are the only Premier League matches in the last nine Gameweeks that he featured from the beginning. Fellow left-back Diego Rico (£4.1m) has started just once in that time. On the other flank, Nathaniel Clyne (£4.4m) started the three matches prior to Gameweek 30, but Adam Smith (£4.3m) was deployed on the right against Huddersfield. He looks unlikely to be involved against Newcastle, after coming off with a hamstring injury.

“Adam Smith said he felt his hamstring very early in the game. Looks like he might be out for a few weeks.” – Eddie Howe

Huddersfield’s credentials were dealt another blow in their defeat to Bournemouth. While the Cherries were much improved with Wilson back, it says all Fantasy managers need to know that the Terriers both blanked offensively and conceded twice at home to a side that had been so poor away from home.

Jan Siewert’s men had just two shots in Bournemouth’s penalty box all afternoon, and only one of them was on target. Meanwhile, it did not take too much from the Cherries to break Huddersfield down, who conceded 50% of the shots on target that they faced.

Huddersfield Town XI (4-3-1-2): Lössl; Durm, Schindler, Zanka, Bacuna; Mooy, Stanković, Billing (Löwe 45′); Pritchard; Mounié (Grant 61′), Kachunga (Rowe 76′).

Bournemouth XI (4-4-2): Boruc; Daniels, Aké, Mepham, A Smith (Clyne 44′); Fraser, Surman, Lerma, Brooks (Solanke 65′); King (Mousset 90+1′), Wilson.

    Morning lads!
    Should I play Free Hit? Got 2 frees.

    Heaton
    Robbo / Yedlin
    FAnderson / Mane / Salah / Obiang

    Not playing: AWB/ Bednarek / Doherty / Pogba / Aguero / Rash/ Jimenez

    1. Killitzer
      • 14 Years
      5 years, 19 days ago

      I have a similar team and I think I’m going to FH too.

      I’ve seen a lot suggesting FH for GW32 but can’t quite see how that’s better especially if you have all chips remaining?

    2. Mr Bird
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 19 days ago

      Just use the two frees to bring in playing assets for this week then FH 32... you will have 9 for 31 and then 10 for 33

      1. Mr Bird
        • 5 Years
        5 years, 19 days ago

        Or take a hit or 2 to field a full 11 if you like... they will pay for themselves and anything more than app points from them is a bonus

    3. frenchfries
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 19 days ago

      I would not free hit, use the 2 ft and maybe a hit if you feel like it.

    4. Hotdogs for Tea

      -8 will sort you out

    comments on this FH lot please

    Fabs | Boruc
    Robbo | Ake | Pereira | Emerson | Taylor
    Gudmunsson | Hazard | Salah | Mane | Fraser
    King | Higuain | Arnie

    should I downgrade my bench and upgrade arnie to vardy?

    1. Killitzer
      • 14 Years
      5 years, 19 days ago

      I’m going Wilson, Vardy and either Firmino or Higuan

    2. frenchfries
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 19 days ago

      I think Wilson is better option then King, and would go Vardy over Arnautovic

    3. pingissimus
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 19 days ago

      Don’t really like that forward line myself.

      Arnie should play but it’s a gamble and I’d have both Wilson and Vardy over either King and Higuain.

    4. Hotdogs for Tea
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 19 days ago

      Down grade bench, upgrade starting 11

    Is Camarasa to Brooks worth a -4 this getting to field 11? Have all the chips intact for future gws

    1. FPL Forward Thinker
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 19 days ago

      Good move, you should get 2 appearance points back at least but I predict some attacking points from brooks

      1. pingissimus
        • 5 Years
        5 years, 19 days ago

        This

  4. FlashG
    • 11 Years
    5 years, 19 days ago

    Any help appreciated!

    Will field 10 using my transfer for gwk31 and keep for 33. Problem is losing value in players I plan to use in DGW.

    Options are:

    A) Pogba to Hazard (lose .4m) - eve, WHAM
    B) Jiminez to Wilson (lose .5m) - 2 home games
    C) Doherty to Luiz (.3m)

    Not sure about c) as I’m not sure it’s worth a transfer as will Chelsea keep a clean sheet!

    1. FPL Forward Thinker
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years

      If u benched Pog, Jim and Doh, who would be your last outfielder with no game? Sell him.

      1. FlashG
        • 11 Years
        5 years, 19 days ago

        Sorry should have said it’s Wan-B - just not a very explosive player I’d bring in, in having a defender but yes definitely an option

        1. FPL Forward Thinker
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 5 Years
          5 years, 19 days ago

          Wan b to Daniels

    2. g40steve
      • 6 Years

      Bench the players you want to keep.

      1. FlashG
        • 11 Years
        5 years, 19 days ago

        Cheers. Want to keep all but probably Doherty least so might be him then

  5. tibollom
    • 7 Years
    5 years, 19 days ago

    Took a hit to do Kun + Son to Wilson + Haz. G2G for the BGW?

    Plan is to FH in 32.

    Fab
    TAA Robbo Pereira
    HAz Salah Brooks
    Rondon Wilson

    Stek, Doherty, Jim, Jota, Bamba

  6. g40steve
    • 6 Years
    5 years, 19 days ago

    Fabs
    Trent, Pereira, Luiz, Lascelles
    Mane, Salah, Maddison, Brooks
    Vardy, Wilson

    Boruc, Aguero, Doherty, Pogba

    Who to C?

    GTG

    1. Weak Become Heros
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years

      Mane on form

  7. FPL Forward Thinker
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 5 Years
    5 years, 19 days ago

    Wow - FPL nailed the premium prices at the moment.

    how many do you own ? *I own just 4*

    This years top points scoring dream team is premium central. Another 0.1 rise from Mane or a sanchez drop and you can’t get more expensive than the current dream team:

    Allison
    Robertson Van Dijk Alonso
    Salah* Sterling Hazard* Mane*
    Kane Aguero* Aubameyang

    1. pingissimus
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 19 days ago

      Or one return from Jim to give it a slightly lopsided look

  8. Weak Become Heros
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 5 Years
    5 years, 19 days ago

    Can I sound out this logic please chaps:

    I have Sterling (pp 11.4). If i were to sell him due to BGW for say Hazard, I’d then get him back on FH32 (probably at 11.5).

    He is very likely to blank again in 33 so I could play him then. GW34 is WC for me so i’d bring him in at hopelly not too much more than he is at now given he blanks twice?

    1. Weak Become Heros
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 19 days ago

      *couldnt play him then

      1. g40steve
        • 6 Years
        5 years, 19 days ago

        His price went up yesterday by .1, no 31or 33 but DGW 32.
        Cannot see large price swings unless he goes mental in the DGW.

    2. the Penman
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      5 years, 19 days ago

      Sound logic. I’m benching Aguero for 31/33 but only because of the high value I have saved in him so couldn’t buy him back easily. Go for it.

      1. pingissimus
        • 5 Years
        5 years, 19 days ago

        Gone the other way

        Sold Kun though I had him at 11.2. I’m readoning he’ll fall to 11.7 at least and my replacements Vardy and Fraser will both rise at least 0.2.

        If that works and they score I think I’m up overall as they’re replacing blankers and my lost value is 0.4 less

    3. enrico.palazzo
      • 11 Years
      5 years, 19 days ago

      Yes - he will drop in price so get rid

  9. enrico.palazzo

    2 FT - exact money

    Sterling > mane
    Kamara > Wilson

    WC, FH and BB still available

    Gives me

    Fabs (3.9)
    Luiz - TAA - Perreira
    Haz - Salah - Mane - Fanderson

          Thank you! Careful planning has set me up well, but I’ve dropped from 200 > 3k in the last month 🙁

          1. frenchfries
            • 7 Years
            5 years, 19 days ago

            Same for me. 4k to 18k while my ML rival has gained 80 points on me. Seems the planning have ruined the last 4 gameweeks. Maybe been to focused on gw31

            1. enrico.palazzo
              • 11 Years
              5 years, 19 days ago

              Just haven’t been able to nail my captains mainly. No jiminez has hurt a lot.
              I traded out deuelfeu before his hatrick and then Siggy for Anderson before his brace.

              Killer

      Great TFs

  11. Dirty Harry

    Quick vote on either a -4 or -8?

    1. Sterling + Pogba > Hazard + Fraser (-4)
    2. Sterling + Pogba + Jimenez > Hazard + Fraser + Wilson (-8)

    1. King Kohli
      • 11 Years

      I'd go for a -8 if you're FH 32.

      1. Dirty Harry
        • 8 Years

        Yep FH32 here.

    2. enrico.palazzo

      Hard one without context. I don’t like -8’s

    • 13 Years

    Boruc
    Rice TAA Robertson
    Fanderson Salah Almiron
    Vardy

    Currently have 8 GW31 players and 1 free transfer - which is the best option?

    a) Haz & Wilson (-4)
    b) Haz & Hig (-4)
    c) Haz, Hig & Wilson (-8)

    1. King Kohli
      • 11 Years
      5 years, 19 days ago

      C is tempting

    2. WVA
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 19 days ago

      A by some distance IMO

  13. balint84
    • 7 Years
    5 years, 19 days ago

    captain Mané or Salah?

    1. frenchfries
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 19 days ago

      At this point, Mane is your man. Salah just not in form, while Mane is crushing it

    2. King Kohli
      • 11 Years
      5 years, 19 days ago

      Mane seems to be on one of his hot streaks, so him

  14. King Kohli
    • 11 Years
    5 years, 19 days ago

    Best move here?

    Boruc
    Robbo Azpi TAA

    Ryan Pogba Doherty Bednarek

    Sterling + Kamara >

      1. WVA
        • 7 Years
        5 years, 19 days ago

        Can't get either without losing huge amounts of value in Jimenez or Aguero who I will both want back.

        1. frenchfries
          • 7 Years

          How much are we talking? I personally got Aguero for 11.3 and will sell

    2. JasonG123
      • 10 Years

      Why not Aguero to Vardy/Higuain?

      1. WVA

        Do City not have a DGW in 32? I would lose a lot of value in him.

          what's the price to get there? hits or chip?

            Chip

            I am on this for free, Alison & Fraser coming in maybe. I reckon I am 10 - 20 points below the template and may need to work in Mane somehow

            (Lloris to - Alisson)
            Alonso Robbo Ogbonna Maguire
            Hazard (Pogba to - Fraser) Salah
            Higuain Vardy Barnes
            Hamer Billing Mendy Lascalles

              I don't know if a chip is worth it. Take a -4?

              1. Hotdogs for Tea
                • 8 Years
                5 years, 19 days ago

                I am not considering playing FH (more upside in 32) but gauging how far behind I may be to work out if a hit is worth it.

                Alonso is a risk and for -4 and I can get Mane

    2. frenchfries
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 19 days ago

      Pereira only one i would change. Leicester just cant keep a CS, i think there is a higher chance of CS for Bournemouth. Its close tho.

      1. Hotdogs for Tea
        • 8 Years
        5 years, 19 days ago

        He is there for possible attacking returns really, but sure, there are a few spots up for grabs Luiz, Fraser & Pereira etc

    3. McEwan
      • 14 Years
      5 years, 19 days ago

      Pereira to Schindler or a blanker would probably be an upgrade, rest look spot on

    4. Amey
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 19 days ago

      That's my team with
      Clyne in for Luiz &
      Barnes in for Wilson

      1. Hotdogs for Tea
        • 8 Years
        5 years, 19 days ago

        You are sorted 🙂

    How's this looking for a -4? Any other hits needed?

    Lossl
    Azpi Robbo Yedlin

      No -4 needed. Nice team

        thanks mate

        1. enrico.palazzo

          No worries 🙂

    Lossl
    Robertson, Luiz, Zabaleta
    Salah, Hazard, F.Anderson, Frasar
    Firmino, Rondon, Barnes

    Foster, AWB, Doherty, Pogba

    1 FT, 0.4m ITB

    No Mane, Maddison, Vardy or Wilson.

    Is Zabaleta to Mepham my best move here ?

    1. McEwan
      • 14 Years
      5 years, 19 days ago

      That or change a keeper

  22. JBG
    • 5 Years
    5 years, 19 days ago

    Should I take a -8 hit and do; AWB, Pogba and Jota to Azpi, Brooks and Fraser?

    Pogba is going back in my FH team GW32.

    1. bitm2007

      Rest of team and how much TV are you lossing ?

      1. JBG
        • 5 Years
        5 years, 19 days ago

        Fabianski-(Boruc)

        Robbo-Pereira-(Doh-AWB-Lindelof)

        Salah-Mane-(Pogba-Jota-D.Ward)

        Higuain-Vardy-Rondon

        Bought Pogba at 8.4 and AWB at 4.0. So not sure how much I'm lossing tbh. My TV atm is 105.4.

          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 9 Years
          5 years, 19 days ago

          I'd keep AWB

          Is Pogba and Jota to Hazard and Brooks (play with 10) an option ?

    GW 32 doubles not being added until after the GW31 deadline really is killer for the uninformed player...they are not showing up on the fixtures page yet, and GW 33 also still looks relatively normal too. I wonder how many this will catch out. Some might even use their FH this week because of this

    1. McEwan
      • 14 Years
      5 years, 19 days ago

      It’s great. I know a few are fh this week, with a bit of gambling on how fixtures are added. Should still work our fine for them. I’ve stalled for weeks with 31 in mind, but gives me options going into 32 with what I want to do.

    2. Kiwivillan
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 19 days ago

      I've mentioned this often because people keep posting than think the only DGW32 games are the one's officially added so it seems less attractive

  24. Eytexi
    • 5 Years
    5 years, 19 days ago

    Currently on 113k OR:
    11 for 31 & 33 (no hits).
    FH32. BB & TC left too.
    No Wildcard.

    What's a realistic target?

    1. McEwan
      • 14 Years
      5 years, 19 days ago

      Total guess but top 50k is well within limits. So many factors tho, shape of your team for example

    2. Christina.
      • 14 Years
      5 years, 19 days ago

      nail your TC and it might be top 10k

    3. bigbudgie
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 19 days ago

      8 green arrows and top 10k is achievable
      Pick the right captain every week and you'll be laughing
      I did from 800K to 11K once season finishing with 15/17 green arrows...

      1. Eytexi
        • 5 Years
        5 years, 19 days ago

        Impressive. Sounds tough but the fact it's achievable with 7 rounds to go is something.

  25. Ojpsan1
    • 6 Years
    5 years, 19 days ago

    A) Mane+ Wilson (Have Salah and fraser already)

    B) Maddison + Vardy

    Morning everyone. Have slipped out top 20k as a result of stupid punts and no forward planning and need help sorting out the squad for GW31 and beyond.

    Complication: no WC available, other chips intact. What is the optimal strategy in this case?

    Fabianski
    TAA, Van Dijk, Pereira, Simpson
    Salah, Fraser, Hazard, Hayden
    Vardy

    Non playing: Button, Bednarek, Pogba, Aguero, Jimenez

    0FT, 0.2 ITB

    I was planning to slip through GW31 with 10 players, but looks like the punt on Simpson was completely wrong, so now i have 9. No point in wasting my FH though, right?

    How do i progress through the DGW and BGW without a WC?

    1. Christina.
      • 14 Years
      5 years, 19 days ago

      Sit tight and save FT. maybe take a 3 trade -4 next week and save FH?

      Or maybe Bednarek->Daniels?

  28. b91jh
    • 6 Years
    5 years, 19 days ago

    Dubrakva (Hamer)
    Robbo Chilwell (Doherty* Bednarek* Bennett*)
    Mane Salah Almiron (Sterling* Pogba*)
    Vardy (Rashford* Kamara*)

    A. Sterling+Rashford->Hazard, Wilson
    B. Sterling+Kamara->Fraser, Higuain
    C. Bennett+Rashford->Rice, Wilson
    D. Rashford+Kamara->Wilson, Barnes
    (All -4)

    1. Hotdogs for Tea
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 19 days ago

      All

    Arny to Wilson for a hit? I'll have Arny or Wilson for both GW 31 and 33, FH in 32. I have Felipe and Arny at the moment...

  30. akhilrajau

    A. . Pogba -> Frazor(352) No Hit
    B. Pogba, Kamara -> obiang, Vardy (343) -4

    D. -8 hit for Vardy, Brooks (343)
    My existing fwd = Arnautovic, King, Kamara
    FH plan in gw 32
