Neto - Concedes four in loss Neto conceded four and managed two saves in Saturday's 4-1 thrashing by Manchester City.

Impact Neto was not able to make a difference against an assertive Manchester City attacking line on Saturday. He managed to save just two of the five shots-on-target he faced, and did not exhibit the confidence and swagger we have seen for the Cherries captain in recent games (he had only conceded three in his previous four matches). He will face an equally tough challenge in Bournemouth's next game against league leaders Arsenal. From 14 appearances (all starts) he has now conceded 17 (1.2 per game) and managed 46 saves.

Jefferson Lerma - Scores in bruising defeat Lerma fired four shots, scoring from his one shot-on-target, in Saturday's 4-1 loss to Manchester City.

Impact Lerma managed to score a consolation goal for the Cherries on Saturday. It was the Columbian's first strike since October. The feisty midfielder has started in all the Cherries 24 games and scored three goals. He will be challenged to add to his total in Bournemouth's next game against league leaders Arsenal.

Philip Billing - One shot-on-target in poor performance Billing placed just one shot-on-target, managed a clearance and engaged in a tackle in Saturday's 4-1 defeat to Manchester City.

Impact Billing did not look sharp on Saturday. Unsurprisingly he was subbed after 59. The Dane has struggled to make the impact he exhibited in the early part of the season. He has scored four goals and made an assist but has not got on the scoresheet since November.

Lloyd Kelly - Won't be involved at weekend Kelly (calf) is still out for Saturday's clash against Manchester City, according to Bournemouth manager Gary O'Neil on Friday.

Impact Kelly is set to miss a fourth consecutive Premier League game Saturday since suffering a calf injury in late January. Marcos Senesi and Jack Stephens are likely to continue as the starting center-back pairing against Man City.

FEBRUARY 24, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Lewis Cook - Still out against Man City Cook (knee) will remain sidelined for Saturday's clash against Manchester City, according to Bournemouth manager Gary O'Neil on Friday.

Impact Cook has been out since mid-January with a knee injury, and he is still not available for this weekend's City match. Philip Billing and Jefferson Lerma have generally been the starting midfield pairing in Cook's absence.

Illia Zabarnyi - Unavailable versus Man City Zabarnyi (ankle) will not be involved in Saturday's clash against Manchester City, Bournemouth manager Gary O'Neil announced Friday.

Impact Zabarnyi is yet to feature for Bournemouth since joining the club from Dynamo Kyiv on deadline day in January due to an ankle injury.

David Brooks - Training individually Brooks (hamstring) has been involved in "modified" training with Bournemouth this week, but he will not be available for selection in Saturday's clash against Manchester City, mana...

Impact Brooks is yet to feature with Bournemouth's senior team this season as he's been dealing with this hamstring injury since September, but O'Neil says he's "close" to being back at full throttle.

FEBRUARY 24, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Marcus Tavernier - Out against Man City Tavernier will miss Saturday's match against Manchester City, according to manager Gary O'Neil. "He's had some tests done and there are a few more next week."

Impact Tavernier is a surprise absence Saturday after returning to the starting XI and scoring last weekend, though he only made it 57 minutes. The hope is that this isn't a reaction in his hamstring, as he already missed a good chunk of time with the injury. Without Tavernier, the Cherries struggled a bit in the attack and against Man City, it's not going to get better. Jaidon Anthony is most likely to take up the role on the left wing.

FEBRUARY 24, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Hamed Junior Traoré - Grazes woodwork in win Traore had a shot blocked and hit the woodwork in Saturday's 1-0 triumph over Wolves.

Impact Traore put in a solid all around performance on Saturday. He helped out his defense when needed, was a tenacious ball winner in midfield and dangerous in attack. He was also the Cherries key set piece actor, taking all corners and free kicks. He was subbed after 51. The young midfielder has yet to find the net or assist but since joining Bournemouth in January he has demonstrated that he is a threat and will inevitably start scoring attacking fantasy points soon.

Marcus Tavernier - Scores on injury return Tavernier scored from his only shot-on-target in Saturday's 1-0 win over Wolves.

Impact Bournemouth have missed Tavernier, Saturday was his first start since November when he sustained a hamstring injury. He demonstrated his value by being sharp and dangerous, getting the run on Wolves defense down the left wing and originating many of the Cherries more promising attacks. He was subbed after 57 probably to ease him back into first team action. The young attacking midfielder is an attractive fantasy pick, he has delivered three goals and four assists in his last five EPL appearances.

Dominic Solanke - Delivers assist in win Solanke contributed an assist and fired three shots (none on-target) in Saturday's 1-0 triumph over Wolves.

Impact Solanke was lively and threatening on Saturday. The striker was positive when on the ball, making dangerous runs and creating a quality assist for Marcus Tavernier's goal. He is still underperforming partially due to a lack of service from a struggling Bournemouth team and partially due to his own execution when he receives the ball in attacking situations, but he is showing signs of improvement. Hopefully he will find his way back to the scoring form he exhibited last season. From 18 appearances (17 starts) he has scored three goals and provided four assists.

FEBRUARY 19, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Jack Stephens - 11 clearances in strong performance Stephens performed 11 clearances, three blocked shots and two tackles in Saturday's 1-0 victory over Wolves.

Impact Stephens put in an impressive defensive performance on Saturday as he effectively neutralized Wolves attacks and racked up a rich set of fantasy points. The Southampton loanee has made eight appearances (four starts) and contributed to two clean sheets.

FEBRUARY 19, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Neto - Clean sheet in outstanding performance Neto made four saves and two punch clearances in Saturday's 1-0 win over Wolves.

Impact Neto (the captain) put in another confident, leadership performance on Saturday and was rewarded with his third clean sheet of the season. He pulled off a series of world-class saves to deny Wolves shots-on-target and was assertive in dealing with corners and intercepting advancing strikers. The Brazilian will have a tough challenge keeping a clean sheet in Bournemouth's next game against title challengers Manchester City.

FEBRUARY 19, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Philip Billing - Pivotal midfield performance in win Billing contributed four clearances, two blocks, two interceptions and a tackle in Saturday's 1-0 victory over Wolves. He also picked up a yellow card.

Impact Billing made a key midfield contribution to the Cherries victory on Saturday. He fired no shots at goal but his defensive statistics were strong. He was a formidable presence in the air (engaging in three aerial duels, winning two) and orchestrated key passes to ignite opportunities for his attacking colleagues. The regular starter's playmaking talents have been focused on helping form offensive chances versus executing on final scoring moves. He has not scored since November and contributed just four goals and an assist.

FEBRUARY 18, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Junior Stanislas - Expected to remain unavailable Stanislas (undisclosed) is slated to miss out versus Wolverhampton on Saturday after manager Gary O'Neil told reporters, "Same as we were really."

Impact Stanislas has made just four appearances for the club this season, all off the bench, in which he recorded a combined 58 minutes and registered one cross (inaccurate), one corner and two chances created. Even once given the green light, Stanislas figures to serve as a reserve option for the club.
