Milos Kerkez - Remains starter at left-back Kerkez has started in all seven appearances this season.

Impact Kerkez has yet to miss a start this season, starting in all seven appearnces after serving in more of a rotational role last season with his 22 starts in 28 appearnces. He has been solid in his 579 minutes of play, notching fout chances created, four crosses and five shots in the attack to go along with eight interceptions, 10 tackles and 15 clearanes. He should continue in this role moving forward, seeing most of his contribution in crosses.

Ryan Christie - Mainstay in midfield Christie has started in six of his seven appearances this campaign.

Impact Christie continues his time as a mainstay in the midfielder, starting in all but one of his seven appearances after starting in 35 of his 37 appearances last season. He has registered five shots and nine chances created in the attack to go along with four interceptions, seven tackles and eight clearances. However, the midfielder is still without a goal contribution.

Marcus Tavernier - 10 crosses but no assists in loss Tavernier recorded two shots (none on goal), 10 crosses (one accurate) and five corners in Saturday's 1-0 defeat to Leicester City.

Impact Tavernier was lively Saturday but not effective enough to help the Cherries take something from the game. He tried to create plays from corners and placed 10 crosses along with two off target attempts. The attacking midfielder is a key component of Bournemouth's starting 11, he has scored once and created an assist in their last outing.

Evanilson - No shots on target in loss Evanilson recorded three shots (none on goal) and created a chance in Saturday's 1-0 loss to Leicester City.

Impact Evanilson had two shots blocked Saturday. The Brazilian is still finding his feet with the EPL's pace versus his experience last season in Liga Portugal with Porto, but glimmers of his talent showed through. He was subbed after 81 minutes. The striker found the net in the Cherries last outing.

Antoine Semenyo - Two shots blocked in King Power loss Semenyo generated three shots (none on goal), one cross (not accurate) and one created a chance in Saturday's 1-0 defeat against Leicester City.

Impact Semenyo continued his run of good form Saturday. He did not get onto the scoresheet but had two efforts blocked and was a constant headache to the Foxes defense, winning 11 of the 16 duels he engaged in. From seven appearances he has found the net three times and created an assist.

OCTOBER 6 • ROTOWIRE

Kepa Arrizabalaga - Concedes one in loss to Foxes Arrizabalaga recorded one save and allowed one goal in Saturday's 1-0 loss to Leicester City.

Impact Kepa was not called into action much on Saturday. He faced just two shots on target and the conceded goal was a well taken strike that he could do little about. The Chelsea loanee has yet to produce a clean sheet from his four appearances and he is unlikely to do so in the Cherries next against title contending Arsenal.

Tyler Adams - Hoping to train during break Adams (back) is hoping to return to training during the international break, according to manager Andoni Iraola. "Tyler will not be fit for the Leicester game, but he is almost the...

Impact Adams underwent back surgery earlier in the year and is now working to get back to fitness. The midfielder is hoping to return to training during the international break. It's unclear how long it will take for Adams to recover his fitness, but the fact he's getting back in training is a great sign.

Marcus Tavernier - Assist in win Tavernier assisted once to go with one shot (one on goal), four crosses (zero accurate) and three corners in Monday's 3-1 victory against Southampton. In addition, he was given a y...

Impact Tavernier put in a good shift for Bournemouth Monday. The attacking midfielder was unlucky not to score from a fiery strike outside the area that took all of Aaron Ramsdale's concentration to stop. As usual, he was a key playmaker and constant danger, his work yielded the assist for the Cherries third of the game finished by Antoine Semenyo. He was subbed after 76 minutes. The regular starter has also got on the scoresheet this season.

OCTOBER 1 • ROTOWIRE

Lewis Cook - Produce a couple of assists in win Cook assisted twice to go with one shot (not on goal), six crosses (one accurate) and three corners in Monday's 3-1 victory over Southampton.

Impact Cook was the Cherries key playmaker Monday executing six crosses, five long balls and creating the key passes that set up his teams more promising opportunities. His work yielded pivotal contributions to the game, producing the assists for Bournemouth's first two goals. Along with these assists the regular starting midfielder has also got himself on the scoresheet once.

Dango Ouattara - Scores in win Ouattara scored one goal to go with one shot (one on goal) and two crosses (zero accurate) in Monday's 3-1 win versus Southampton.

Impact Ouattara was a constant danger Monday down the Cherries attacking left flank. He created plays through crosses and passes into the box and got himself onto the scoresheet with his only on target effort to contribute Bournemouth's second of the match. He was subbed after 61 minutes. The 22-year-old is always impactful, this was his second start from five appearances and from that he has produced a goal and an assist.

OCTOBER 1 • ROTOWIRE

Evanilson - First EPL goal in win Evanilson scored one goal to go with two shots (two on goal) in Monday's 3-1 win versus Southampton.

Impact Evanilson opened the game's scoring Monday through a clinical finish into the corner of the net from a quickly taken Lewis Cook free kick. The Brazilian is growing in confidence as he gets to know his new teammates. Most of his touches created dangerous opportunities and he had a second shot on target that took sharp goalkeeping to deny him a second. From this performance it looks like he will become a regular on the Cherries scoresheet going forward and a worthy replacement for Dominic Solanke.

OCTOBER 1 • ROTOWIRE

Antoine Semenyo - Third strike of season in win Semenyo scored one goal to go with four shots (one on goal) and created two chances in Monday's 3-1 victory against Southampton.

Impact Semenyo continued his impressive run of form Monday. The attacking midfielder was too much for the Saints defense to handle as he ran at will down the attacking right flank. He created impressive plays for his team mates, and following three blocked efforts he found the net through a fantastic individual performance, slotting the ball into the corner of the net from the edge of the box. He was subbed after 89 minutes. The Ghanaian has now yielded three goals and an assist from the season's opening six matches.

OCTOBER 1 • ROTOWIRE

Kepa Arrizabalaga - Concedes one in win Arrizabalaga recorded two saves and allowed one goal in Monday's 3-1 win versus Southampton.

Impact Kepa was not overstretched in Monday's game. One of his two saves took extraordinary skill but other than that his performance was pretty pedestrian. The conceded goal was not down to an error on his part. The Spaniard, who joined the Cherries on loan from Chelsea in August, played well in his previous two games. He is yet to post a clean sheet but he might get an opportunity to change that in Bournemouth's next against Leicester. The Foxes have yet to win a match this season.

Kepa Arrizabalaga - Concedes three but makes nine saves Arrizabalaga made nine saves and allowed three goals in Saturday's 3-0 loss against Liverpool.

Impact Kepa had direct responsibility in Liverpool's first goal, as he tried to rush out of the box in a long ball from Ibrahima Konate, but he was left out of the sequence midway through his attempt to close Luis Diaz down. Kepa didn't have a lot of responsibility in the other two goals he conceded, but it's worth noting that Bournemouth could've lost by a bigger margin hadn't it been for him. Arrizabalaga will try to bounce back against Southampton on Sep. 30.

SEPTEMBER 23 • ROTOWIRE

Luis Sinisterra - Active coming off bench in loss Sinisterra recorded four shots (two on goal) and two chances created in Saturday's 3-0 loss versus Liverpool.

Impact Sinisterra was brought into the game in the second half looking to provide a spark in the final meters, and there's no question he achieved that by averaging an impressive tally of one shot for every five minutes. Given how dangerous he looked in this game, it wouldn't be surprising if Sinisterra moves into the starting lineup to face Southampton on Sep. 30.

SEPTEMBER 23 • ROTOWIRE

Antoine Semenyo - Disallowed goal in loss to Reds Semenyo generated four shots (two on goal) and one cross (zero accurate) in Saturday's 3-0 loss against Liverpool.

Impact Semenyo thought he had broken the deadlock just five minutes into the contest, but the goal was ruled out due to an apparent offside play. Regardless of that, the forward was the Cherries' most dangerous player by a wide margin, and he'll aim to remain a massive threat upfront when Bournemouth take on Southampton on Sep. 30.
