Marcos Senesi (£5m)

  • Senesi registered a very impressive 4 goals and 5 assists from 26 matches last season and is nailed to start in central defence for Bournemouth this season.
  • He picked up an injury that saw him miss out on a chunk of games last season, so don’t be too alarmed at his appearance numbers.
  • However, the value just isn’t there with him this year due to his £5m price point, especially because Bournemouth don’t tend to keep many clean sheets.

Illia Zabarnyi (£4.5m)

  • Bournemouth’s other 1st choice CB is expected to partner with Senesi in defence.
  • For £4.5m he’s slightly more appealing as a Fantasy asset, but doesn’t pose as much threat in front of goal as Senesi.
  • I’d steer clear unless Bournemouth have an amazing run of easy fixtures during the course of the campaign.

Milos Kerkez (£4.5m)

  • Kerkez only managed 22 starts at LB last season, meaning he wasn’t the undisputed 1st choice in this position.
  • He’ll once again face competition from the offensively-minded Ouattara on the left, making him prone to rotation.

Adam Smith (£4.5m) / Max Aarons (£4.5m)

  • Smith is clearly getting on in age, which becomes evident at the highest level.
  • He should get the chance to start the season at RB, but Aarons could definitely ease his way into the starting 11 as the season progresses.
  • There’s no clear starter at RB, so avoid bringing in any of them due to the rotation risk.

Bench options:

  • Chris Mepham (£4.5m)
  • Dean Huijsen (£4.5m)
  • James Hill (£4m)
