Brooks returns as Bournemouth host Palace in late kick-off

Saturday evening’s late game is all about differentials as Bournemouth host Crystal Palace.

It marks a first Premier League start of the season for David Brooks (£6.2m) who has missed all of the campaign thus far following a long-term injury in the summer of 2019.

Owned by 0.1% of Fantasy managers worldwide, there is already intrigue in whether or not the Welsh international can be a hidden gem once again after he produced a 123-point season in 2019/20.

The rest of the Bournemouth team is similarly devoid of Fantasy investment, Diego Rico (£4.2m) the joint-most popular asset on 8.1% ownership, although the left-back finds himself on the bench.

Jack Simpson (£3.9m) is in the same proportion of squads but is absent from the matchday squad entirely.

Outside of that, 3.7% will be hoping Aaron Ramsdale (£4.5m) can keep a clean sheet and 4.6% are still sitting on Callum Wilson (£7.4m).

Meanwhile, the absence of the 19%-owned Martin Kelly (£4.1m) reduces the interest in Crystal Palace assets considerably.

However, there will be keen eyes on Jordan Ayew (£5.2m) and Wilfried Zaha (£6.7m), sat in 8.8% and 9% of squads respectively.

Bournemouth XI (4-4-2): Ramsdale; A Smith, Aké, S Cook, Stacey; Brooks, Lerma, L Cook, H Wilson; J King, C Wilson.

Crystal Palace XI (4-4-2): Guaita; van Aanholt, Cahill, Dann, J Ward; Zaha, Milivojevic, Kouyaté, McArthur; Benteke, Ayew.

    Ward clean sheet lovely (pity about the nonsense YC) solid performance from the lads.

    Who’s the one striker you’d want for less than 8.5 the rest of the way?

              3 years, 10 months ago

              Nice differentials, no Aubameyang or Aguero, went well

              1. KipperRSA
                • Fantasy Football Scout Member
                • 12 Years
                3 years, 10 months ago

                Indeed, worried with no Aguero as had him a large part of the season but just don't rate Aubameyang. Chasing in money league so needed a few differentials 🙂

      96 with 9 to go. Pretty happy with that considering I captained Aguero!
