Bournemouth’s home fixture against Leicester City in Gameweek 38 looks like a prime target for FPL managers.
According to the Predicted Points & Stats tool, the Cherries are projected to score 2.2 goals – joint-highest of the gameweek alongside Arsenal’s trip to Southampton.
With attacking potential this high, Bournemouth’s FPL assets suddenly become top-tier final-day targets.
The numbers don’t lie: Leicester City have been abysmal on the road.
Per the Opta Stats Sandbox, the Foxes are the only team in the Premier League yet to keep an away clean sheet this season, shipping a league-worst 44 goals on their travels. That’s five more than second-bottom Southampton – and the Saints have played an extra match.
For Fantasy Premier League managers, this spells opportunity. Bournemouth attackers could capitalise on Leicester’s defensive vulnerabilities, offering potential hauls for anyone looking to finish the season on a high.
Using the Insight Live tool, we’ve analysed the most popular Bournemouth players among the top 100,000 FPL managers – a target rank many engaged FPL players aim to hit each season.
Interestingly, aside from Milos Kerkez, who sits at 16.9% ownership, all other Bournemouth assets are owned by fewer than 10% of managers in this top tier. That means one thing: they’re differentials – and potentially game-changing ones.
Let’s dive into the top 5 Bournemouth FPL picks for the final gameweek.
The young Dutch defender has proven to be a fantastic budget option for FPL managers.
Bournemouth have kept six clean sheets at home, joint-third best in the league, conceding just 16 goals – a number bettered only by Liverpool and Nottingham Forest (both 15), according to Opta Stats Sandbox.
Huijsen adds attacking threat too, scoring 3 goals and providing 1 assist, reaching a 100-point season that has earned him a move to Real Madrid.
With 4.7 projected points against Leicester, he offers strong value for those looking to free up funds elsewhere.
Kerkez is Bournemouth’s most-owned FPL asset among top 100k managers – and it’s easy to see why.
The Hungarian full-back has delivered 2 goals and 6 assists, scoring 127 FPL points so far. His 6 assists rank him joint-sixth among all defenders this season.
According to his Opta Map, Kerkez has attempted 33 key passes and created 7 big chances – more than any Bournemouth player except O. Dango (9) and Semenyo (11).
With 5.0 projected points this gameweek, he’s one of the best FPL defenders for Gameweek 38.
Semenyo has had a strong FPL season with 9 goals and 7 assists, totalling 147 points.
His underlying numbers suggest he could have scored more – his xG of 13.98 puts him among the biggest underperformers this season.
Only Eddie Nketiah (5.2) has a worse actual-to-expected goals difference according to the Custom Stats Builder table.
With 4.9 projected points, he’s an exciting Gameweek 38 punt for bold FPL managers.
The Brazilian has impressed in his debut Premier League season with 10 goals and 5 assists, producing 124 points.
Like Semenyo, he’s also underperformed his expected goals (xG 12.59), making him a prime breakout candidate for the final day.
According to the Transfer Analytics tool, Evanilson is currently the fourth most transferred-in player ahead of Gameweek 38, with 47,732 new owners.
With 5.2 projected points, he’s a smart differential forward pick against Leicester’s porous defence.
Kluivert has been a standout performer for Bournemouth, registering 12 goals and 6 assists on his way to 154 FPL points.
With 6.1 projected points – the highest among Bournemouth players this week – Kluivert is arguably the best FPL option from the Cherries for Gameweek 38. He’s an ideal pick whether you’re playing aggressively or just need a reliable return.
Bournemouth’s final-day clash with Leicester offers an ideal blend of form, fixture, and FPL value.
Leicester’s defensive frailties open the door for attacking returns from Kluivert, Semenyo, and Evanilson, while Kerkez and Huijsen offer excellent defensive options with attacking upside.
If you're chasing rank or looking for that final differential to win your mini-league, Bournemouth’s FPL assets could be the key to a strong finish.
