Ryan Fredericks - Starting against Leicester Fredericks is fit and in the starting XI to face Leicester City on Saturday.

Impact Fredericks returns from an undisclosed injury that has kept him out since mid September. The full-back has appeared three times on the season, starting once while providing just one cross and not much else.

Ben Pearson - Not ready for Leicester clash Pearson (knee) is not in the match day squad to face Leicester City on Saturday.

Impact Pearson remains out despite training in the buildup to the match. The midfielder has made four appearances on the season for Bournemouth, starting three times while making six tackles.

Joe Rothwell - Remains out against Leicester Rothwell (quad) is not in the match day squad to face Leicester City on Saturday.

Impact Rothwell looked close to a return after training with his teammates in the buildup to the match. The midfielder has yet to appear this season, but could feature in some capacity next week against Fulham.

Ben Pearson - Back in training Pearson (knee) has trained all week ahead of Saturday's match against Leicester City without issue, according to interim manager Gary O'Neil. "It's been really good to get (Joe Rot...

Impact Pearson started in three of his four appearances to open the season before missing over a month with a knee injury. It might be difficult for Pearson to fit in the lineup as there are only a couple of midfield spots available, though even when he does play it's likely to come in a more defensive role in order to support Marcus Tavernier as the playmaker.

Joe Rothwell - Training with teammates Rothwell (quad) has been training with his teammates without issue ahead of Saturday's match against Leicester City, according to coach Gary O'Neil. "It's been really good to get (...

Impact Rothwell now has a realistic shot of playing over the weekend given how much he's been able to train. Whether or not the former Blackburn man can make an impact is yet to be seen, though it's sure to be difficult in a team that's often pinned back by tougher opponents.

Ryan Fredericks - Continues pitch work Fredericks (undisclosed) "has been really promising on the grass and done some really good work" ahead of Saturday's match against Leicester City, according to interim manager Gary...

Impact This seems kind of like a cryptic update, as it isn't much different than the one a week ago for Fredericks. He's missed the last two matches with injury, but everyone in the team has been hyping the defender's presence and once healthy, it's a wonder if he'll eventually take up a starting role.

Junior Stanislas - Working towards fitness Stanislas continues to work his way back from an undisclosed injury, according to manager Gary O'Neil.

Impact Stanislas was randomly on the bench before the international break, but it looks like he still has some kind of injury. He doesn't have much of a role in the team and this injury isn't helping. Until he can actually get some minutes and return to health, he'll be an afterthought for Bournemouth.

OCTOBER 6, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Lloyd Kelly - Out again Saturday Kelly (undisclosed) will miss Saturday's match against Leicester City, according to interim manager Gary O'Neil.

Impact It's another absence for Kelly, who will be missing his third-straight match for Bournemouth. While he's a key piece on the back line, the Cherries have played well in his absence with Marcos Senesi taking up a starting role again, allowing just one goal in the last two matches against Brentford and Newcastle.

Jefferson Lerma - Five clearances and three shots in draw Lerma fired three shots (one on target) and made five clearances, two interceptions and a tackle in Saturday's goalless stalemate against Brentford. He also picked up a yellow card...

Impact Lerma was one of Bournemouth's more dangerous players on Saturday, almost scoring with his shot on target and making a positive impact in defensive duties when needed. The regular starting midfielder is an exciting fantasy addition as he rolls his sleeves up to shield the backline when needed and injects energy into the right of midfield in attack. He does have a very direct style of play which has led to him receiving 40 bookings, the most of any EPL/EFL player, since joining Bournemouth in 2018. He has controlled himself well since Bournemouth's return to the EPL, this was his first yellow card of the season. From eight appearances (all starts) he has scored once.

OCTOBER 2, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Philip Billing - Quiet game in goalless draw Billing contributed a shot, a cross, a clearance and two tackles in Saturday's goalless draw with Brentford.

Impact Billing was not as effective on Saturday against Brentford as he has been in previous games this season. He had no shots on target and struggled to dominate in physical challenges against equally tall opposition in the forms of Kristoffer Ajer and Pontus Jansson. The Danish midfielder is establishing himself as a regular starter with Bournemouth's interim manager, Gary O'Neil, and has been a good value fantasy pick given his ability to execute both defensively and in attack. He should deliver a better performance in Bournemouth's next game against Leicester who have lost their last six EPL matches.From eight appearances (six starts) he has scored twice.

OCTOBER 2, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Chris Mepham - Strong defensive contribution in draw Mepham delivered two clearances, four blocked shots, two tackles and an interception in Saturday's 0-0 draw with Brentford.

Impact Mepham produced a strong defensive performance on Saturday that was pivotal to Bournemouth maintaining a clean sheet in the game. The regular starter is consistently a solid fantasy defensive point scorer and currently delivers the second highest clearances per games statistic (6.1) in the EPL.From eight appearances (all starts) he has contributed to three clean sheets.

OCTOBER 2, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Dominic Solanke - Manages just one shot in draw Solanke took one shot in Saturday's scoreless draw with Brentford.

Impact Solanke turned in another disappointing performance on Saturday against Brentford. The forward managed just one shot and was never a threat to Brentford's defense. From six appearances (five starts) he has scored just one goal and provided one assist. He is consistently demonstrating that he is struggling being an effective EPL striker and on current form is unlikely to be a valuable addition to any fantasy team.

OCTOBER 2, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Neto - Delivers four goal stopping saves Neto produced four saves and a punch in Saturday's scoreless draw with Brentford.

Impact Neto was lively in Saturday's game and made four important goal stopping saves from Brentford's on-target efforts. The Brazilian is establishing himself as a goalkeeper that makes a difference to the team when they are under attacking pressure. From four appearances (all starts) he has delivered two clean sheets. He has a good chance of improving his shutout statistics in Bournemouth's next game against Leicester who have lost their last six EPL matches.

Ryan Fredericks - Not yet ready Fredericks is not in the match day squad to face Brentford on Saturday.

Impact Fredericks had been improving in his fitness, but ultimately was deemed unable to compete for a spot in Saturday's squad. The fullback will hope to return in time for next week's match against Leicester.

OCTOBER 1, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Ryan Christie - Takes three shots in draw Christie took three shots (one on goal) and conceded a yellow card during the Sept. 17 draw with Newcastle United.

Impact Christie has taken seven shots in his last four appearances (all starts) but hasn't been as involved offensively as he was last season. This surely has to do with tougher competition in the Premier League but the signing of Marcus Tavernier has forced Christie to spend more time making tackles than passes. As a result, Christie's fantasy value isn't much of note.

SEPTEMBER 30, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Lloyd Kelly - Out against Brentford Kelly (undisclosed) will remain out for Saturday's match against Brentford, according to interim manager Gary O'Neil.

Impact Kelly couldn't recover over the two-week break, which isn't a great sign given that the details on his actual injury are slim. At this point, he should be considered a doubt for the next couple matches, as well. Marcos Senesi has struggled when in the starting XI this season and it's a wonder if someone like Jack Stacey or Jack Stephens comes into the XI next to Chris Mepham.

SEPTEMBER 29, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Ryan Fredericks - Making improvements Fredericks (undisclosed) "is making big improvements" ahead of Saturday's match against Brentford, according to interim manager Gary O'Neil.

Impact Fredericks could be ready to return after the international break, though he's probably only ready for a bench appearance given multiple injuries to open the campaign. He's often talked about by managers as an important signing for Bournemouth and it's a wonder what role he'll have this season if he can stay healthy and fit.

SEPTEMBER 29, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Joe Rothwell - Closer to return Rothwell (quad) is "doing really well" and "almost there," according to interim manager Gary O'Neil.

Impact Rothwell hasn't featured this season because of an injury suffered just before the campaign. The former Blackburn man will still have to win a role in the side and it's hard to see him cracking the starting XI at a consistent rate. Even then, he figures to play in mostly a midfield role that sits back more often than not.

SEPTEMBER 29, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Ben Pearson - Edging closer to return Pearson (knee) is "getting closer and almost there," according to interim manager Gary O'Neil.

Impact Pearson has been out for about a month now and it at least looks like he's on the mend and close to a return. It's unknown what role he'll have under O'Neil, but it's hard to see him getting consistent starts like he was to open the season when he started the first three contests.
