No matter what strategy you are using to navigate through the BGW/DGWs, you cannot ignore the fixture list for Bournemouth. 7 out of their 9 remaining fixtures are rated as easy (2 on FDR), while only the game against Spurs being difficult on paper, but its a home game which means you may get some returns from it too.





Bournemouth have been one of the two teams with players giving excellent points per value, the other being Wolves. Today, we compare the top two players at every position in the Bournemouth team to help you make your decisions.

Forwards

Joshua King vs Callum Wilson







Joshua King £6.5 Callum Wilson £6.3 Goals 9 10 Assists 3 8 FPL points 108 114 Shots 52 44 Offsides 6 15 Bonus 17 14

With Wilson back, the King vs Wilson debate is back on track. Wilson had been in excellent form, but as he comes back after a long break, he is expected to have some dip in form and with King on penalties (hopefully, he wont miss); King looks like a better option for now. As both forwards are now similarly priced, you can always straight swap them back if you feel the need for it.

Midfielders

David Brooks vs Ryan Fraser





David Brooks £5.0 Ryan Fraser £6.1 Goals 6 5 Assists 4 9 FPL points 96 128 Shots 36 33 Bonus 6 15

Bournemouth mainly relied on the Wilson-Fraser partnership at the start of the season for their goals, but when Wilson was injured and King was given the role of scoring goals, there was a change in where the points came from midfield. Brooks became very important in the link ups and was also among the goals. Comparing Brooks to Fraser, we notice the Brooks is more of a goal scoring threat while Fraser is excellent at creating goals. The choice of which midfielder you should choose depends on two things

1. Amount of available money (because of the difference of 1.1m between the two) and

2. Which forward you choose to go with, you can either take a risk to double up on the King-Brooks or Wilson-Fraser partnership, or go with a much safer one from each pair depending on the rank in your ML.

Defenders

Nathan Ake vs Adam Smith





Nathan Ake £5.0 Adam Smith £4.3 FPL points 86 53 Goals 3 1 Bonus 6 0 BPS 517 280

Ake has been topping charts for Bournemouth in the following areas.

Minutes played Number of Passes Tackles won Clearances

While Adam Smith tops the chart for most red cards. Seriously though, if you need a Bournemouth defender, Ake is the go to man, but if you do not have enough money in the bank, you can cover up with Adam Smith as a replacement. Although the fixture list looks easy, Bournemouth are weak in away matches and we would suggest you stay away from the defense.
