Adrien Truffert - Impresses on France return Truffert played the full 90 minutes and helped France keep a clean sheet in a 1-0 Nations League win over Turkiye, making his first senior international appearance since 2022.

Impact Truffert made the most of his return to the France setup by starting at left-back and contributing to a shutout in his first senior appearance in four years. His call-up follows a strong start with Bournemouth, where he has established himself as the starting left-back and recorded four chances created, 22 crosses, 17 tackles, seven interceptions and 19 clearances across five Premier League appearances. Truffert will now look to remain involved when France face Belgium on Monday.

Alex Toth - Minimal role in Premier League Toth has recorded 17 minutes of play over two EPL appearances this season.

Impact Toth remains a young prospect looking for opportunities in the rotation with Justin Kluivert and Ryan Christie, having seen little action and logging over 15 minutes in a game only in the initial EFL Cup round. The central midfielder, who joined Bournemouth from Ferencvaros in January, will likely continue to serve as a bench option going forward.

Max Aarons - Unused so far Aarons has yet to make an appearance during the first five weeks of the 2026/27 season.

Impact Aarons is apparently set to continue in a deep role on Bournemouth's roster, given that he hasn't been considered even for a bench role, with all of Adam Smith, Juanlu and Lewis Cook ahead of him. While Aarons remains part of the squad, a departure or loan later in the season could be a viable possibility if he continues to struggle for playing time.

Adam Smith - Another season as starter Smith has started in all five matches to open the Premier League season.

Impact Smith is back with the Cherries for another season as a starter at right-back, having yet to start on the bench this season in his five league appearances. This has been a regular sight at the club for numerous years, only seeing a drop off in time last campaign, although the exit of Alex Jimenez opened up more time for Smith again. Smith's value does remain somewhat limited as a primarily defensive right-back, not regularly earning many crosses or goal contributions.

Alvaro Rodriguez - Early season bench role Rodriguez has appeared in two league matches from the bench this campaign.

Impact Rodriguez is still looking to carve out a bigger role with Bournemouth following his move to the club, as the forward has only earned time from the bench this season. He has played for 10 minutes in two appearances in league play while earning 19 minutes in UEL play, notching one shot in his minimal time on the field. The 22-year-old looks to be stuck in more of a reserve role, likely to only see value if injuries in the attack take place and he sees a boost in minutes.

5 DAYS AGO • ROTOWIRE

Juanlu - Yet to appear Juanlu has yet to make an appearance for Bournemouth this season.

Impact Juanlu is yet to see minutes in Premier League action this season, as the defender waits for time after joining Bournemouth this summer. That said, it is yet to be seen what he holds in the league, having been close to a regular with Sevilla last campaign. His value at the moment remains minimal, needing to see time first.

Bafode Diakite - Limited to reserve role Diakite has yet to play a minute in the Premier League this season, while making just two appearances across other competitions, including 27 minutes off the bench in the Europa Le...

Impact Diakite has been limited to a backup role this season, with James Hill ahead of him in the pecking order at center-back. His lack of Premier League minutes underlines his current position in the squad, though his ability to cover both central defense and right-back provides some additional versatility. Diakite should remain an option for rotation in cup and European fixtures while competing for increased playing time in the league.

5 DAYS AGO • ROTOWIRE

Julio Soler - Yet to make 2026/27 debut Soler has yet to play a single minute for Bournemouth in the 2026/27 season.

Impact The left-back has been limited to nine first-team appearances for Bournemouth in the Premier League and the FA Cup over the last two seasons, but he still hasn't logged his first competitive minutes in 2026/27. The left-back is a depth option and a long-term bet for the Cherries, so his fantasy appeal should remain minimal, especially given how little he's played in recent months.

6 DAYS AGO • ROTOWIRE

Daniel Jebbison - Barely seeing minutes Jebbison has been limited to just three bench appearances so far in the 2026/27 Premier League season.

Impact The striker, who has been called up by the Canada NT for the upcoming international window, has struggled to play regularly for the Cherries in the current campaign. He's logged 15-minute cameos against Manchester City and Liverpool, and he also featured for just one minute at Newcastle. Jebbison has yet to score, taking just one shot off target, in those matches.

6 DAYS AGO • ROTOWIRE

David Brooks - Yet to start in 2026/27 EPL season Brooks has yet to start a game in the current EPL season.

Impact Brooks was an unused substitute in the season opener against Manchester City on Aug. 23, but he's played off the bench in the next five games between the EPL and the Europa League. He's logged just 52 minutes of action in those five contests, so the playmaker isn't seeing the field enough to be a reliable option to keep close tabs on in most formats. He'll remain a non-factor in fantasy as long as he continues to play off the bench.

6 DAYS AGO • ROTOWIRE

Lewis Cook - Losing starting role Cook has played off the bench in Bournemouth's last three league matches and hasn't started an EPL game since Aug. 29.

Impact Cook started in central midfield in the Cherries' first two games of the 2026/27 season, but he's lost his place now that Tyler Adams is back in the squad and healthy to play regularly. Cook wasn't much of a fantasy asset due to his defensive-minded role in midfield when he was playing regularly, but this move to the bench should limit his fantasy appeal even more.

6 DAYS AGO • ROTOWIRE

Djordje Petrovic - Two saves in loss Petrovic registered two saves and allowed one goal in Sunday's 1-0 defeat versus Liverpool.

Impact Petrovic looked like he was on the way to a clean sheet for a majority of Sunday's clash, until one defensive breakdown left Alexander Isak free to finish into the bottom corner. It's hard to put that on Petrovic, who made some excellent saves during the match. Petrovic should remain a busy, and talented, goalkeepers after the break.

SEPTEMBER 21 • ROTOWIRE

Tyler Adams - Busy in midfield Adams recorded two tackles (one won), three clearances and two interceptions in Sunday's 1-0 defeat to Liverpool.

Impact Adams had everything to do in the midfield during Sunday's loss. He was causing trouble for Liverpool every time they got on the ball and prevented them from ever having time and space to find a pass. He was a perfect destroyer throughout the match and showed why he was sought after in the Summer.

SEPTEMBER 21 • ROTOWIRE

James Hill - Four tackles in loss Hill recorded one cross (one accurate) and four tackles in Sunday's 1-0 defeat versus Liverpool.

Impact Hill made four tackles and sent in a single cross during Sunday's loss. It wasn't a bad performance per se, but he just didn't do enough to earn the clean sheet. In the end all it took was one moment where he lost Alexander Isak to make the difference in the match. Hill now heads into the international break.

SEPTEMBER 21 • ROTOWIRE

Rayan - Four crosses Rayan had four crosses (one accurate) and one chance created in Sunday's 1-0 loss to Liverpool.

Impact Rayan sent in four crosses and created one chance Sunday. It was decent, but he never really managed to beat his man, and when he did Liverpool's center-backs were excellent. Rayan has been dangerous this season and is improving consistently, if he can keep adding end product to his game he should be a huge contributor moving forward.

SEPTEMBER 21 • ROTOWIRE

Marcus Tavernier - Creates one chance Tavernier recorded seven crosses (one accurate) and one chance created in Sunday's 1-0 defeat against Liverpool.

Impact Tavernier sent in seven crosses but created only a single chance during Sunday's loss. The forward wasn't able to make too much of a difference off the wing as Liverpool generally controlled the match and kept them from being too expansive. Tavernier still showed some nice moments, that could lead to better chances against more beatable teams.

SEPTEMBER 21 • ROTOWIRE

Adrien Truffert - Busy going forward Truffert had one shot (zero on goal) and seven crosses (two accurate) in Sunday's 1-0 loss against Liverpool.

Impact Truffert was busy throughout Sunday's match, bombing forward and causing issues for Liverpool. He struggled to get past Ronald Araujo consistently and his crosses were speculating as Virgil van Dijk and Jeremy Jacquet cleared with ease. Truffert should have more space to work after the break.

SEPTEMBER 21 • ROTOWIRE

Evanilson - Largely shut down Evanilson had two shots (two on goal) in Sunday's 1-0 defeat versus Liverpool.

Impact Evanilson's build-up play was good during Sunday's loss, but he just couldn't find any space to operate against Liverpool's brilliant center-backs. He was out-muscled repeatedly and he had no hope of getting on the end of lofted crosses. Evanilson should have more room to operate against almost any other opposition.

SEPTEMBER 21 • ROTOWIRE

Alex Scott - Busy Sunday Scott had two shots (zero on goal), four crosses (one accurate) and two corners in Sunday's 1-0 defeat against Liverpool.

Impact Scott was excellent in the center of the park alongside Tyler Adams during Sunday's loss. Adams was the destroyer winning the ball back, and Scott was the creator, causing issues for Liverpool's defense. In the end it wasn't enough to get on the scoresheet, but Scott was still excellent, showing his talent and ability to play box-to-box.

SEPTEMBER 21 • ROTOWIRE

Ryan Christie - Struggles in loss Christie recorded four shots (zero on goal) and one cross (zero accurate) in Sunday's 1-0 defeat to Liverpool.

Impact Christie wasn't at his best during Sunday's loss, he failed to put any of his four shots on goal and was dispossessed frequently. He just couldn't seem to make a difference positively, and seemed disjointed from Alex Scott and Tyler Adams. Christie will hope to recollect himself and bounce back after the international break.

Justin Kluivert - Out for several weeks Kluivert will miss Sunday's match against Liverpool and is expected to remain sidelined for several weeks after suffering an injury against Real Sociedad, according to coach Marco...

Impact Kluivert is set for a multi-week absence after picking up the injury against Real Sociedad, ruling him out of Sunday's clash with Liverpool and likely additional matches. The attacker had started every Premier League match this season and scored once, making his absence a notable loss from Bournemouth's starting XI. Ryan Christie will replace him in the lineup Sunday and could continue to see increased playing time while Kluivert recovers.
