With ownership of over 20% each, Bournemouth's attacking assets have been plunged on by FPL managers. And why not? With their opening two fixtures against two promoted sides, the Cherries are a no brainer. However, Callum Wilson (£8.0m), Ryan Fraser (£7.5m) and Joshua King (£6.5m) have given bosses the biggest headaches as well.

In my opinion, going with two if not one Bournemouth attacker for the first two games is necessary to safeguard yourself against rank falls. Wilson at this point offers the greatest value even though the English striker comes at a premium. Wilson scored a goal and registered 2 assists in a 3-0 win over Lyon in Bournemouth's last pre-season game. I would even say that he is a decent shout for a differential captaincy option.

At the back Nathan Ake (£5.0m) also attracts 18.8% ownership but there is no clarity over which of the four £4.5m priced goalkeeping option could start against Sheffield United. Do keep an eye new Liverpool loanee Harry Wilson (FPL price not revealed yet) who could shine in the absence of David Brooks who is ruled out for at least 12-14 weeks.
