Dominic Solanke - Delivers winning goal Solanke struck one goal to go with three shots (two on goal) in Saturday's 2-1 victory against Fulham.

Impact Solanke put in his usual high work rate on Saturday. Despite his relatively low number of shots-at-goal he was a danger through generating attacks from midfield. He was subbed after 89. The striker has had a disappointing season, scoring just four goals and providing fours assists from his 23 appearances (22 starts). This goal was his first since January.

Marcus Tavernier - Scores in win Tavernier scored one goal to go with two shots (two on goal), three crosses (zero accurate) and one chance created in Saturday's 2-1 victory over Fulham.

Impact Tavernier delivered the energy and pace that the Cherries needed in Saturday's second half to secure a dramatic comeback victory. He came on after 46 for Jaidon Anthony and scored minutes later. The attacking midfielder is in sharp form, he has scored in his last two games. From 18 appearances (16 starts) he has now scored four and provided four assists.

Neto - Concedes one in victory Neto registered one save and allowed one goal in Saturday's 2-1 win over Fulham.

Impact In contrast to his recent strong, confident form, Neto was not at his sharpest on Saturday. He only managed to save one of the two shots he faced on-target and he was lucky not to concede another when the woodwork denied an Antonee Robinson strike. He will need to step up his game for the Cherries next against Brighton. The Seagulls have scored in their last six matches. The regular starter has now conceded 24 (1.3 per game), completed 64 saves (3.6 per game, 73%) and managed just four clean sheets.

Jefferson Lerma - Fires three shots in victory Lerma generated three shots (zero on goal), one cross (zero accurate) and two chances created in Saturday's 2-1 win versus Fulham. In addition, he was given a yellow card in the 60...

Impact Lerma was his usual live wire self on Saturday, working the midfield with his assertive style. His yellow card means he has now chalked up five this season. The regular starter has contributed three goals.

Philip Billing - Fires shot-on-goal in victory Billing registered one shot (one on goal), two crosses (one accurate) and three corners in Saturday's 2-1 win over Fulham.

Impact Billing put in a solid performance on Saturday. He did not find the net, but the Dane marshaled the midfield well and played his part in a crucial victory for the Cherries. From 27 appearances (25 starts) he has scored six and provided an assist. He has found the net twice in his last four EPL matches.

APRIL 1, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Hamed Junior Traoré - Available from bench Traore is fit and in the match day squad to face Fulham on Saturday.

Impact Traore returns from an illness in the buildup to the match to take up a role on the bench. Joe Rothwell takes his spot in the starting XI with Marcus Tavernier also available from the bench.

APRIL 1, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Hamed Junior Traoré - Under the weather Traore has been dealing with an illness in the lead-up to Saturday's clash with Fulham. Manager Gary O'Neil told reporters, "Hamed Traore played some minutes in the international b...

Impact Traore was hampered by an undisclosed injury heading into the international break, though he did come off the bench versus Aston Villa on March 18. Still, the midfielder has started four of his five contests since joining Bournemouth and should be a mainstay in the starting XI with his injury seemingly behind him.

Illia Zabarnyi - In contention against Fulham Zabarnyi (ankle) may be available versus Fulham on Saturday. Manager Gary O'Neil told reporters, "Illia was around over the break, so it was good to get him up to speed and we had...

Impact If Zabarnyi gets onto the pitch, it would be his first action for the club since joining from Dynamo Kyiv during the January transfer window. Given his extended layoff, the defender may have to settle for a spot on the bench at first but could be in the mix for a spot in the starting XI once fully fit.

MARCH 31, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Marcus Tavernier - Ready to play Saturday Tavernier (hamstring) will be available against Fulham on Saturday after manager Gary O'Neil told reporters, "Marcus is back fit too."

Impact Tavernier has missed 10 of the last 12 contests for the Cherries since the international break due to various injuries. When he did play, the midfielder scored a goal on two shots (two on target) to go with one cross (inaccurate), one tackle (won) and one clearance. If he jumps back into the starting XI, Tavernier should offer solid fantasy upside given his attacking role.

Adam Smith - Creates two chances in loss Smith made two clearances, an interception and created two chances in the 3-0 defeat against Aston Villa last weekend. He also won one of one tackles in the match.

Impact Smith has started 26 of Bournemouth's 27 Premier League matches this season, only missing out on a loss to Brentford in mid-January because of a yellow card suspension. He's kept five clean sheets and recorded an assist mostly from right-back.

MARCH 27, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Neto - Extends contract with Bournemouth Neto has signed a three-year contract extension with AFC Bournemouth, the club announced Monday.

Impact Neto has kept four clean sheets and allowed 23 goals across his 17 Premier League starts this season for Bournemouth despite missing a few months from late October-early January with a hamstring injury. The 33-year-old goalkeeper has now signed on to remain with the club through the 2025/26 campaign.

Hamed Junior Traoré - Active on international duty Traore played 72 minutes during Friday's 3-1 win over Comoros.

Impact Traore was back on the pitch for Ivory Coast, and played 72 minutes during the win. The midfielder played 31 minutes off the bench in the final match before the international break and should be fit for the starting XI when he returns from international duty.

MARCH 24, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Marcus Tavernier - Pictured in training Tavernier (hamstring) was pictured in training Thursday over the international break.

Impact Tavernier has been out for more than a month with a hamstring injury, but he's back in training and if all goes well over the next week, could be back in the starting XI for the match against Fulham. He's been arguably Bournemouth's best player when on the pitch but injuries have derailed his campaign since the World Cup. Assuming both start, he and Hamed Traore will be a question in terms of set pieces for the Cherries.

MARCH 23, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

David Brooks - Hat trick in youth team Brooks (hamstring) played during Tuesday's youth team win over Portsmouth, scoring three times and assisting once.

Impact Brooks looked every part the Premier League player among boys, picking apart the pitch and taking over to the tune of three goals. The midfielder made a single appearance off the bench in the final Premier League match before the international break, and could be in line for a larger role, though given his time away, it'll likely be a gradual return to the pitch for him. At his peak, he was starting every match for the Cherries, including 29 starts in the 2018/19 season when he had seven goals and five assists in the Premier League.

MARCH 19, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Dominic Solanke - Manages just one shot-on-target Solanke placed three shots (one on-target) in Saturday's 3-0 loss to Aston Villa.

Impact Solanke was not effective on Saturday and when opportunities did arise he did manage to capitalize upon them. He has one of the weakest EPL scoring records for a striker with just three goals and four assists to his name.

MARCH 19, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Neto - Concedes three in loss Neto conceded three and accomplished six saves in Saturday's 3-0 loss to Aston Villa.

Impact Neto, the captain, made a series of big saves on Saturday but his performance was impacted by a disorganized Bournemouth defense.
