Enes Unal - Appears off bench against Bees Unal registered one shot in 14 minutes off the bench during Saturday's 3-2 loss to Brentford.

Impact Unal looks to be set for a rotational role for a second straight season, as he continues to see minimal time and serves most of his time off the bench. He has yet to notch a goal contribution this season, although he hasn't been given many opportunities, with only eight shots and one chance created across 149 minutes of play. That said, he doesn't hold much value, as he is far down the pecking order and has a lot of work to do before thinking of regular starting time.

David Brooks - Stuck in reserve role Brooks has purely been used as an option off the bench for Bournemouth this season.

Impact Brooks hasn't seen much action for the Cherries this season, as he has only appeared off the bench or gone unused this campaign, still having yet to earn a start. In total, he has only appeared for 44 minutes across four contests. He will likely continue in a lesser role, only starting in two of his 13 appearances last campaign.

Adam Smith - Starts consecutive matches Smith notched one cross and four clearances in Saturday's 3-2 defeat to Brentford.

Impact Smith has now started in two straight matches, having started in six of the club's 11 contests. He has been solid when on the field this season, with more of his contribution coming in the defense, notching seven interceptions, nine tackles, 11 crosses and 21 clearances. He should continue in the starting role for most of the club's matches moving forward, as they will be without Julian Araujo for the next three to six months due to hamstring surgery.

Julian Araujo - Undergoes hamstring surgery Araujo has undergone hamstring surgery and is set to miss three to six months, according to his club.

Impact Araujo is heading to the sidelines for a long spell, with the defender undergoing surgery on his left hamstring following his appearance in Saturday's match. This will be an unfortunate loss for the club, as he had started in five of his eight appearances and was likely to see decent time at right-back this campaign. He should still return this season, although it won't be until the new year, with Adam Smith likely to continue at right-back while Araujo is out.

Ryan Christie - Picks up ban Christie was shown a fifth yellow card during Saturday's 3-2 loss to Brentford, and will be suspended against Brighton.

Impact Christie is set for the ban due to yellow card accumulation, with Saturday's yellow being his fifth. The midfielder is a tough loss for the first match out of the break. Marcus Tavernier is the likely option to move into the starting XI against the Seagulls.

NOVEMBER 11 • ROTOWIRE

Antoine Semenyo - Five shots in loss to Bees Semenyo registered five shots (one on goal) and four crosses (zero accurate) in Saturday's 3-2 defeat versus Brentford.

Impact Semenyo was not as effective as he has been for the Cherries attack in previous games this season. As usual he made his physical presence felt when competing in duels and challenging in midfield, but he only managed one on target attempt along with four other blocked efforts. The Ghanaian has been in sensational form this season controlling the Cherries attacking midfield. He scored in their last outing against Manchester City and with his command on the ball he will inevitably accrue more goals and assists in coming games.

NOVEMBER 10 • ROTOWIRE

Lewis Cook - Assist in loss to Bees Cook assisted once to go with three shots (none on goal), four crosses (none accurate) and two corners in Saturday's 3-2 defeat against Brentford.

Impact Cook contributed his usual solid midfield performance Saturday and was arguably the best Cherries player on the field. He executed four crosses and two long passes, in attack he had two efforts blocked and one off target. His work did produce the assist for the Cherries second goal, a well-executed set piece completed by Justin Kluivert. The 27-year-old often originates plays that lead to goals but rarely assists, it had been five games since his last.

NOVEMBER 10 • ROTOWIRE

Evanilson - Third goal in three games Evanilson scored one goal with his only on-target effort and created two chances in Saturday's 3-2 loss versus Brentford.

Impact Evanilson netted the Cherries opening goal Saturday, capitalizing on a poor pass back to the keeper. The Brazilian was always sharp and dangerous, he has demonstrated that he is an able replacement for Dominic Solanke by scoring in each of his last three matches.

NOVEMBER 10 • ROTOWIRE

Justin Kluivert - Goal in loss to Bees Kluivert scored one goal from his only on target effort, executed four crosses (one accurate) and created a chance in Saturday's 3-2 defeat to Brentford.

Impact Kluivert was a live wire in midfield Saturday. In playmaking he executed four crosses and three long balls, but his key contribution was netting the Cherries second goal from a well-executed set piece. He was subbed after 76 minutes. The Dutchman has now struck two and provided an assist from the last four games.

NOVEMBER 10 • ROTOWIRE

Kepa Arrizabalaga - Concedes three in lackluster performance Arrizabalaga had three saves and allowed three goals in Saturday's 3-2 defeat versus Brentford.

Impact Kepa was not convincing in Saturday's loss to Brighton. He saved just three of the six shots he faced on target, and could have done better to stop some of the conceded goals. The Chelsea loanee has not made any distinguishing performances since joining the Cherries this season, his starting slot may be under threat from Mark Travers who put in three assertive performances in the prior games while the Spaniard was out with a thigh injury.

Luis Sinisterra - Suffers setback Sinisterra (hamstring) is out for Saturday's trip to Brentford, according to manager Andoni Iraola. "Sini's is worse because he has tried and he has had a small setback, so it will...

Impact Sinisterra suffered a minor setback with his hamstring injury, and will be out until after the international break at least. It's not clear how much further he will be out after that, but the setback is a concern certainly. Prior to the injury Sinisterra had made just a single start.

Dango Ouattara - Still out Ouattara (undisclosed) is out for Saturday's trip to Brentford, per manager Andoni Iraola. "Dango is doing well but I think it's too early for him, just one week is small but I thi...

Impact Ouattara was close to a return, but is being given the extra two weeks to complete his recovery. It's disappointing, but Ouattara should be absolutely fully fit and ready to go for a Nov. 23 clash with Brighton.

Kepa Arrizabalaga - Available against Brentford Arrizabalaga (thigh) is available for Saturday's trip to Brentford, per manager Andoni Iraola. "I think the only player we're going to recover is Kepa."

Impact Arrizabalaga is set to return Saturday after missing around a week with the thigh injury. The goalkeeper should return to the starting XI for Saturday's clash, with Mark Travers likely to fall to the bench.
