Goal in strong performance Scott scored one goal to go with one shot (on goal), one cross (not accurate) and one corner in Saturday's 2-1 victory over Brighton.

Impact Scott scored Bournemouth's opener Saturday in their 2-1 win over Brighton, curling a sublime left-footed strike into the top corner for his first league goal since December 2023. The 22-year-old showed his physicality throughout the match, winning seven of the 11 duels he engaged in, and was subbed after 67 minutes. He has been a regular starter this season and his performance suggests he's regaining the attacking form that made him a key contributor in previous campaigns.

Returns in friendly Scott (knee) played half an hour in Saturday's 3-0 victory against Everton in a pre-season friendly, confirming his return from injury.

Impact Scott has been progressing well in his recovery from a knee injury in recent weeks as he was training with the team. That injury now appears to be behind him since he played half an hour in Saturday's friendly against the Toffees. This is good news for the Cherries as he was a regular starter in the final stretch of last season and will likely play a role again heading into 2025/26.

Trains with team Scott (knee) has returned to training ahead of the club's preseason tournament, according to his club.

Impact Scott is recovering from his knee injury quite well at the moment, as the midfielder has now trained with the group in Chicago ahead of their preseason tour. This does leave him a spot to likely feature in one of those friednlies over the next few weeks. That would likely clear him ahead of the season and leave him avialble for matchday one, good news to hear after the injury to Lewis Cook (knee).

Suffers knee injury Scott suffered an apparent knee injury in Saturday's 3-2 victory against Germany in the U21 EURO Championship.

Impact Scott couldn't make it to the break in Saturday's final of the U21 EURO Championship after suffering an apparent knee injury, according to reports. This is a big blow for the midfielder since it comes just a few weeks after he suffered a broken jaw and had to wear a mask during the final. Scott will likely be assessed in the coming days to determine the extent of his knee injury and whether he will have to miss some time. He will hope to return fit for pre-season with the Cherries as he looks to boost his minutes next season in midfield, while bringing competition to likely starters such as Lewis Cook and Ryan Christie.

Full go after broken jaw Scott started and went 84 minutes in Thursday's win with the England U21s, his first significant minutes since breaking his jaw last month.

Impact Scott returned rather quickly to the pitch after breaking his jaw and even managed to play off the bench in the season finale with a mask. With another year under his belt, he'll look to boost his minutes in the new campaign, having appeared in 43 league matches the last two seasons but only 19 starts. The question is where he fits with Lewis Cook and Ryan Christie locked into starting roles, at least for now.

Returns in bench role Scott (jaw) is on the bench for Sunday's match against Leicester City.

Impact Scott returns after missing last week's match against Manchester City through injury. The midfielder had been a regular starter prior to last week's absence, but settles for a role on the bench to begin Sunday's season finale.

Impact Scott suffered a fractured jaw and was originally expected to miss the season finale. A protective mask has been enough to get Scott on the pitch for training, and could see him play during Sunday's finale. With just one day of training before the match if Scott has any issues with the mask or the injury he could be ruled out Sunday.

Impact Scott is seeing some boosts this week, as he is out of his operation and appears to be working in some capacity again. However, he is still doubtful to return this season, possibly not making it for the season finale despite receiving a mask to wear to protect his jaw following surgery. That said, he seems unlikely to be on the field again, seeing a very limited role if he is lucky enough to face Leicester City on Sunday.

Impact Scott will miss the remainder of the season after suffering a fractured jaw in Saturday's clash. He was a regular starter in the midfield this season and his absence for the remaining games will force a change in the midfield, with Lewis Cook likely taking his spot while Justin Kluivert plays in the attacking midfield.

MAY 11 • ROTOWIRE

Off at halftime Scott was forced off during halftime of Saturday's match against Aston Villa due to an apparent jaw injury.

Impact Scott caught an elbow to the face in Saturday's match and exited the field for a bit before coming back on, later leaving the field permanently at halftime, seemingly due to the injury. The hope is that this is just a knock and no further damage is shown, especially after no disciplinary action was awarded. He was replaced by Justin Kluivert, a likely replacement if he misses more time.

MAY 10 • ROTOWIRE

Four shots in start Scott got the start and played 58 minutes during Tuesday's 2-1 loss to Ipswich.

Impact Scott made just his second start during the 2025 calendar year, finding plenty of volume going forward, though he failed to create any chances. The Guernsey-born midfielder has been limited by injuries and even when fit has been more of a depth option.

APRIL 4 • ROTOWIRE

Returns Saturday Scott (knee) saw 13 minutes of play off the bench in Saturday's 3-1 loss to South.

Impact Scott was back in action Saturday, finding a spot on the bench after a spell out due to a knee injury. The midfielder would eventually see time, appearing as a substitute in the 77th minute for a short stint of play. These were his first minutes since mid-October due to injury, although he will likely remain in a rotational role, only starting in two of his nine appearances.

Impact Scott has a chance to be in the squad well ahead of the expected schedule. The midfielder was originally expected to be sidelined as late as March and could now return in mid-February. It's obviously a great turn for Bournemouth, who are dealing with a plethora of injuries.

Set for extended spell out Scott (knee) is going to miss more than six weeks after having his meniscus removed, according to manager Andoni Iraola."It will be more [than six weeks], but I don't know how much...

Impact Scott went under the knife to get a meniscus injury repaired and is now set for more than six weeks out. The midfielder will hope to return before the busy Christmas period, though it seems his timeline will be right around then. Scott has been a consistent option off the bench for the Cherries, but has failed to really take a step into the starting XI.

OCTOBER 25, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Out with meniscus injury Scott has undergone a successful procedure to repair a meniscus injury sustained earlier this week in training, the club confirmed Thursday.

Impact There's no timetable for Scott's return to action, but a procedure to repair a meniscus injury doesn't sound like something that would grant the midfielder a quick return to the field. It wouldn't be surprising if Scott is sidelined until after the November international break at the earliest.

OCTOBER 24, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Limited to bench duties Scott has started in just one of his seven appearances for Bournemouth so far this season.

Impact Scott is heralded as a top English talent, but the attacking midfielder has struggled to secure a regular starting role this season after posting decent numbers in his debut season in 2023/24. Scott has just three shots and three chances created in his seven outings to date, so his fantasy upside is minimal overall.

OCTOBER 11, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Decent debut season Scott scored one goal and recorded one assist in 23 appearances (11 starts) this past season. He also scored one goal and recorded two assists in three FA Cup starts.

Impact Scott had a quiet debut season in the Premier League, but his contribution in the FA Cup showed his promise. He recorded more goal contributions in three FA Cup starts than his 20 Premier League appearances, although it's worth noting all three of his FA Cup opponents were in the Championship. All five of his goal contributions came during a five-match stretch in the middle of the season, so while he showed how productive he can be, the 20-year-old will need to be more consistent next season.

Starts in elimination Scott got the start during Tuesday's 1-0 loss to Leicester City in the FA Cup.

Impact Scott got back on the starting XI on Tuesday and actually did well in a more defensive role. Unfortunately a late winner proved to be the heartbreaker as Bournemouth were eliminated. Scott has been rotated off the bench in Premier League action, but when given the chance he's been productive in the starting XI.

FEBRUARY 27, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Strikes first EPL goal in loss Scott scored from his only shot on goal in Sunday's 3-1 loss to Tottenham Hotspur.

Impact Scott came on Sunday after 69 minutes for Ryan Christie. The 20-year-old was a live wire during his 21 minutes on the pitch, he scored the Cherries only goal and was unlucky not to bag a second when a late strike was correctly judged as offside. The striker has now found the net and delivered an assist in his last two games.

JANUARY 1, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Second assist in four appearances Scott created an assist, placed six crosses (one accurate) and six corners in Tuesday's 3-0 victory over Fulham.

Impact Scott orchestrated Bournemouth's opening goal on Tuesday. Following a fantastic weave through Fulham's midfield and defense he laid the ball up for Justin Kluivert to fire home. The talented 20 year old midfielder will be one to watch, along with his assist he scored strong fantasy points in defensive actions. From just five appearances (four starts) he has created two assists, both from this last four games.

Impact Scott was an immediate, surprise inclusion when he started three-straight matches earlier in the season until he suffered a new knee injury. The staff is likely taking a different approach this time, especially given the form of the current regulars. Scott figures to compete with Lewis Cook for starting minutes, but it's hard to see Scott winning that job heading into 2024.

Impact Scott returns earlier than expected from a knee injury which has kept him out just over a month. The attacker is available from the bench having made just three appearances on the season thus far.

Impact Scott is working to recover from the knee injury and has been active outside during team training. The midfielder doesn't have a precise time for his return but with the serious knee injury any return before January would be quite a surprise. Lewis Cook and Ryan Christie have played the largest roles in defensive midfield while Scott is sidelined.
