What has happened to Ryan Fraser this season?

It has not been a memorable start to the season for Bournemouth midfielder Ryan Fraser (£7.3m).

After registering a total of seven goals and 14 assists in 2018/19, the Scottish international has now gone three matches of the new campaign without a single attacking return.

Not surprisingly, Fraser has already dropped £0.2m in price as Fantasy managers look elsewhere for value in midfield.

However, is there a possibility that they may come crawling back when Bournemouth’s fixtures become a little more favourable.

Gameweek 3 pitted the Cherries against defending champions Manchester City, while this weekend takes them to face Leicester City.

After those two tough matches, Gameweek 5 sees Eddie Howe’s men host Everton before they clash with Southampton (away) and West Ham (home).

We have assessed Fraser’s numbers from the first three matches of 2019/20 to see whether his owners should be patient or not.

As this article uses data from the Fantasy Football Scout Members Area, only those who have signed up for the new season can access it in full.

How has Fraser started the season?

    What are people with Greenwod's plan if Martial is out?

    Put Greenwood 1st on bench and assume he starts or keep him further down the bench in case he comes on for a 1 pointer and keep someone like Lundstram,/Dendocker 1st on bench instead?

    1. Rinseboy
      • 12 Years
      4 years, 8 months ago

      first sub for Martial

    2. KGFC
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 8 months ago

      Would prefer a Dendo as my first sub over Greenwood. BTW, planning to start Lundstram.

    3. Totally J
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 8 months ago

      First sub. Im playing Lund as well

    4. DantheManinaPan
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 8 months ago

      I don't have Martial.

      I'm going to gamble on him starting. My alternatives aren't exactly inspiring with Diop, Lundstram and Dendoncker

    MOURA OUT THIS WEEK...
    A) Mount
    B) Siggy
    C) Ceballos

    1. Gudjohnsen
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 8 months ago

      B could be an inspired move but A is in form. Not C imo.

      1. swobe
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        4 years, 8 months ago

        He is due a haul.. However have wanted Mount since the Supercup Final.

    2. antis0cial
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 8 months ago

      A

    3. The Man Pastore
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 8 months ago

      A if fit

  3. Magic Zico
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 5 Years
    4 years, 8 months ago

    Bottomed: A week punt before IB potentially WC, which one? Currently on B.

    A. Joelinton for Wood 4 4 2
    B. Cantwell for Dendoncker 4 5 1
    C. Martial to Mount, Wood to Haller (-4) 4 4 2
    D. Martial to KDB, Moura to Cantwell (-4) 4 4 2

    Ryan (Button)
    TAA Robbo Digne Zinchenko (Rico)
    Salah Sterling Martial Moura (Dendoncker)
    Pukki Wood (Greenwood)

    1. Baps hunter
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 8 months ago

      B perhaps wise, C more fun.

  4. SOTHPAW
    • 5 Years
    4 years, 8 months ago

    Kane to Aguero? Already have KDB and Sterling, or Kane to Haller and spread the cash?

    Thanks.

    1. Magic Zico
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 8 months ago

      Superb City cover, question is they need to score 3-4 per gw to make it worth

    2. KGFC
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 8 months ago

      If Kane - Aguero is without hits, I'd say you can punt for a week. Can be a fantastic differential cap option. Otherwise, Kane - Haller seems to be the better choice.

      1. Totally J
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        4 years, 8 months ago

        I agree with this

    3. noquarternt
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 8 months ago

      Kane loves spanking Arsenal.

    4. HuttonDressedasLahm
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 8 months ago

      Haller
      Your team must be quite weak everywhere else

  5. Totally J
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    4 years, 8 months ago

    Worth a -8
    King, grealish, TAA (have VvD), Siggy > Haller, KDB, Cantwell, 5.5 DEF?

    If yes, which 5.5?
    1 Maguire
    2 Zinchenko
    3 PVA
    4 Emerson

    1. Gudjohnsen
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 8 months ago

      Not for me. Siggy will have a good game week and TAA is more dangerous than VVD imo.

  6. swobe
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    4 years, 8 months ago

    JOTA OUT THIS WEEK...
    A) Joelinton
    B) Haller
    C) Wesley
    D) Barnes

    1. FOO FIGHTER
      • 4 Years
      4 years, 8 months ago

      Haller

    2. Tshelby
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 8 months ago

      D all season

    3. antis0cial
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 8 months ago

      B but D has great fixtures after this week

  7. The Mighty Whites
    • 9 Years
    4 years, 8 months ago

    Thoughts? 1FT, 0.2 ITB:

    Pope - Button

    VVD - Digne - AWB - Diop - Montoya

    Salah - Sterling - Martial - Robinson - Dendoncker

    Kane - Pukki - Greenwood

    1. Riders of Yohan
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 8 months ago

      Would want to bring in kdb or aguero

      1. The Mighty Whites
        • 9 Years
        4 years, 8 months ago

        Robinson to KDB & Kane to Haller / Barnes for a -4?

  8. Riders of Yohan
    • 5 Years
    4 years, 8 months ago

    If Martial is only out for one week - surely he’s not worth transferring out?

    If your bench is strong enough too

    1. Eat my goal!
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 8 months ago

      I've taken him out on a WC

      Hoping Mount can match him and allows for strengthening elsewhere

  9. Freaki
    • 4 Years
    4 years, 8 months ago

    Paul Dummet good one week punt against toothless Watford?

    1. Superkitten
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 4 Years
      4 years, 8 months ago

      Not with a name like that!

  10. Dino
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    4 years, 8 months ago

    Wpuld fraser lack of output have anything to do with A) the change in formation or B) game state i.e. Bournmouth used to struggle in games last season when teams sit in against them but if they got a goal lead the often cut them open on the counter and this was when Fraser and Wilson really shone from an attacking point of view.

    1. Doosra - ☭DeclanMyGenius…
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 8 months ago

      A), I feel.

      1. Doosra - ☭DeclanMyGenius…
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        4 years, 8 months ago

        - and it is not doing Cilson any favours, either.

        1. Doosra - ☭DeclanMyGenius…
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 14 Years
          4 years, 8 months ago

          - mind you, his corner conversion is awful, this Season. Right down.

          1. Doosra - ☭DeclanMyGenius…
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 14 Years
            4 years, 8 months ago

            - Fraser's cc, I mean.

            1. Dino
              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • 14 Years
              4 years, 8 months ago

              Corners are very random though, played Sheffield utd who are a big team and Aston Villa who likewise are used to handling the air ball.

              Personally I think it is more to do with game state and playing deep lying teams (not counting city for anything as they are atypical).

              One other point that could be effecting him is two out and out def mids, no creativity in the middle leading to slower transitions?

  11. Tshelby
    • 9 Years
    4 years, 8 months ago

    Time to play the wildcard?

    Button, Pope
    Digne, VvD, Laporte, Montoya, Balbuena
    Salah, Sterling, Martial, Cantwell, Dendoncker
    King, Pukki, Vardy

    1. Gudjohnsen
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 8 months ago

      Not at all. Good team just don't like King.

    2. Annie
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 8 months ago

      Doesn't look like it

      1. Tshelby
        • 9 Years
        4 years, 8 months ago

        Cheers

    3. antis0cial
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 8 months ago

      Only really missing KDB, downgrade Vardy and upgrade Martial?

      1. Tshelby
        • 9 Years
        4 years, 8 months ago

        All ready on a -4 so this needs to do it for this gameweek

    4. Weak Become Heros
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 8 months ago

      Save WC.

    5. The Man Pastore
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 8 months ago

      Why would you WC this team?

      1. Tshelby
        • 9 Years
        4 years, 8 months ago

        I would the get McGinn, Barnes, KdB/Kun,..
        Some positions need to be look into again

  12. antis0cial
    • 7 Years
    4 years, 8 months ago

    Took -4 early to avoid price rise earlier in week (Perez > Mount and King > Haller). First hit of season. All look ok? Hoping if Mount isn't fit Greenwood may get decent amount of gametime.

    Pope
    TAA VVD Digne
    Sterling(c) Salah KDB(vc) Mount Cantwell
    Pukki Haller

    Greenwood Montoya Rico

  13. Weak Become Heros
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 5 Years
    4 years, 8 months ago

    A. Zinc and Rico
    B. Laporte and Lowton

    1. Tshelby
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 8 months ago

      B for me. more nailed

    2. antis0cial
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 8 months ago

      B but it's more expensive? Rico not getting a game.

      1. Weak Become Heros
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 5 Years
        4 years, 8 months ago

        A also allows a 4.5 on the bench. Rico looks likely to play as Daniels injured with what looked like a major knee injury.

    3. The Man Pastore
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 8 months ago

      Does not really makes sense as it is not the same price at all... 9.5m vs 11m

  14. Azathoth
    • 9 Years
    4 years, 8 months ago

    Who to (c)

    a) Salah
    b) KDB
    c) Pukki
    d) Vardy

    Thanx

    1. Weak Become Heros
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 8 months ago

      B/C probably KDB

    2. Eat my goal!
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 8 months ago

      This is not easy

      1. Eat my goal!
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 5 Years
        4 years, 8 months ago

        Fancy Pukki to score against the whu defence

        Also fancy Vardy to score

    3. The Man Pastore
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 8 months ago

      B

    4. Murder On Zidanesfloor
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 8 months ago

      Easy a

  15. Romani

    4 years, 8 months ago

    Best 8m midfielder?

    1. Gudjohnsen
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 8 months ago

      Martial if fit.

  16. Supersonic
    • 7 Years
    4 years, 8 months ago

    Lads any advice on this wc?

    Pope
    Taa-Lund-soyunco
    Salah-sterling-debruyne-ceballos
    Firmino-pukki-Barnes

    (Button-cantwell-montoya-taylor(burn))

    A) firm-debruyne-4.5d to aguero-mount-emerson?
    B) hold
    C) other

    1. Supersonic
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 8 months ago

      Firmino has looked dangerous but I could bounce him and spread funds? Cheers

    2. antis0cial
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 8 months ago

      Not convinced on Firminho. I'd drop to Haller and maybe upgrade Ceballos / a def

    3. KingOllie
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 8 months ago

      Firmino to Haller and upgrade defence

      1. Supersonic

        Thanks

  17. Ibra

    Ryan
    Robbo - TAA - Digne - KWP
    Salah - Sterling - Martial - Ceballos
    Rashford - Pukki

    Button - Dendoncker - Rico - Wickham

    KWP and Martial might be out. What to do?

    A) Martial -> Dilva (-4)
    B) KWP -> some max 5.2 defender (-4)
    C) Save ft

    I'm not sure yet if I use my WC after this gw.

    1. oispakaljaa
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 8 months ago

      C) Save. Dendo and Rico (Daniels out) should play in case both Martial and KWP are no show, which i doubt.

  18. Romani
    • 11 Years
    4 years, 8 months ago

    Any thoughts on Buendia?

    1. Christina.
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 8 months ago

      get Cantwell rather. Or mount if fit

      1. Fpl Richie
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        4 years, 8 months ago

        Agreed

  19. Stef rocks
    • 6 Years
    4 years, 8 months ago

    Any news about Martial. Is it confirmed he is injured and will miss GW4?

    1. Baps hunter
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 8 months ago

      Nope.

      Usually no news is good news, but he had his scan yesterday. If everything was okay, ManU would have declared him fit imo. This is naturally only my personal view. We'll just have to wait to know for certain.

  20. Messiah Hazard
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    4 years, 8 months ago

    What's the opinion on Adrian as a lone GK with a 4.0? His fixtures look good and Alisson is still out... I am already going with only VVD as my Liverpool defender.

    1. Eat my goal!
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 8 months ago

      Making moves on keepers is not where you want to be

      Adrian has 1 maybe 2 fixtures left imo

      1. Messiah Hazard
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        4 years, 8 months ago

        Am on WC so am getting new keepers anyways 🙂 which 4.5 keeper do you suggest?

        1. Eat my goal!
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 5 Years
          4 years, 8 months ago

          Pope set & forget

    2. Gudjohnsen
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 8 months ago

      Alison back soon and then you need to use a ft to change a goal keeper. Not for me.

      1. Messiah Hazard
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        4 years, 8 months ago

        which 4.5 keeper do you suggest?

  21. Bubz
    • 10 Years
    4 years, 8 months ago

    Will Greenwood start if Martial out?

    1. Eat my goal!
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      OGS where are you?

    2. antis0cial
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 8 months ago

      Has a chance but far from certainty. Mata/Pereira have a good chance of coming in.

      1. goriuanx
        • 13 Years
        4 years, 8 months ago

        Jeez. United have fallen off a cliff.

        1. antis0cial
          • 7 Years
          4 years, 8 months ago

          Haha yeah, not quite City with Mahrez/Foden/Jesus etc sat on bench

    3. Stef rocks
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 8 months ago

      So confirmed Martial is out?

  22. as33
    • 8 Years
    4 years, 8 months ago

    Is D.Silva nailed now?
    Digne>Pieters
    Mount>Dilva( Sterling, KDB, Dilva)

    1. Freaki
      • 4 Years
      4 years, 8 months ago

      Hell no!

      1. Freaki
        • 4 Years
        4 years, 8 months ago

        Do those transfers and you’ll regret it

      2. Gudjohnsen
        • 7 Years
        4 years, 8 months ago

        Awful moves imo.

    2. antis0cial
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 8 months ago

      No. He'll still get rotated a lot.

    3. Baps hunter
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 8 months ago

      He has missed one match already. Nothing has changed.

    2. UnitednationsXI
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      4 years, 8 months ago

      Couple of quick questions

      1) get Pukki (-4) @7m or wait after the city game?
      2) Thoughts on perez? keep or sell ahead of a good fixture. will def sell in gw5 if i keep him this gw. his value will be 6.3m before this gw
      3) Same as above regarding King...decent fixtures for bournmouth but dropping in value
      4) Contemplating Perez + King >> 5.8m mid + Pukki (-4) but seems a bit sideways

      1. Miniboss
        • 5 Years
        4 years, 8 months ago

        Pukki is the man to have, even for a hit.

        1. Colonel Shoe 肝池
          • 12 Years
          4 years, 8 months ago

          I got him to prevent him scoring any more..... Sorry

          1. Miniboss
            • 5 Years
            4 years, 8 months ago

            No probs, had a fun ride so far

    3. xHaTr
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 8 months ago

      Will almost certainly have to start Martial this week due to bigger issues in the team, who to put first bench?

      A: Greenwood (Southampton Away)
      B: Lundstram (Chelsea Away)
      C: Dendoncker (Everton Away)

      1. Messiah Hazard
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        4 years, 8 months ago

        B and C are most likely to start. C would probably score more points... C it is

    4. TopwithKlopp
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 8 months ago

      Isn't Martial injured...?

      1. Baps hunter
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 6 Years
        4 years, 8 months ago

        I believe so and ditched him. Usually no news is good news, but he had his scan yesterday. If everything was okay, ManU would have declared him fit imo. This is naturally just my personal opinion.

        1. TopwithKlopp
          • 5 Years
          4 years, 8 months ago

          I will hold onto him until i know he will be out for a long stint or not.. already made 2 transfers, so don’t really have much choice anyway.

    5. dshv
      • 6 Years

      I need help with my logic around Aguero..

      If I bring him in (for a hit), do I 'have' to captain him for it to make sense? If so, why/why not?

      My main fear (oddly) is not captaining Sterling, and losing out on his C points. If one had both Sterling and Aguero, and captained Kun, would one hope for Sterling to blank/get as low a score as possible then?

          You don't 'have' to. Why? Basically because others may score more

            Yeah, I get that. I'm just thinking about 'justifying' the hit so to say.. but maybe a transfer is enough?

                He needs a goal to breakeven in one gw (ignoring bonus and who's dropped for him), so the argument goes that by captaining him it increases the probability of recouping the hit. I don't really buy that argument but it's fair to say that if he's worth a hit he may be worth captaining, and if it helps to psychologically justify it then so be it.

                fwiw I'd captain him

                  I tend to agree with you. Also there is the fear of not only 'losing' the points taken from the hit, but also the Sterling double, if he outscores Aguero (which he could do).

                  Cheers, appreciate the feed back
