Is this 0.2%-owned striker actually a smart option for the next two Gameweeks?

DREAM TEAM managers shouldn’t be shy of backing Bournemouth players when the time suits.

The Cherries may be without a win in their last three league games but they remain in a very strong position in the Premier League, just three points behind Manchester City in the Champions League places.

Andoni Iraola’s dynamic side pack a real punch in attack.

They rank third in the top flight for xG, fourth for shots and seventh for goals.

And those stats simply reinforce what Dream Team bosses will have observed when watching Bournemouth play; they are very impressive in full flow.

A quick check of the schedule suggests that now might be an opportune moment to back one or two of the Vitality Stadium’s star residents.

Bournemouth are one of just five teams with three fixtures to fulfil across the next two Gameweeks and the only one with the luxury of three consecutive home games.

In Gameweek 28, they are due to face Brentford in a match-up with the necessary ingredients for an open, high-scoring affair.

Then in Gameweek 29, Iraola’s men will host Man City and Ipswich, with the former being an FA Cup quarter-final.

Pep Guardiola’s side are favourites to lift the famous old cup come May but they have been well short of their best this season.

In fact, Man City lost to Bournemouth at the Vitality Stadium in the league back in November.

Kluivert is a good option for the remainder of March[/caption]

Justin Kluivert (£3.9m) and Antoine Semenyo (£4.4m) have been Bournemouth’s best performers in Dream Team this term.

The former has 200 points to the latter’s 196 and has undoubtedly been in better form recently.

The Dutchman also has the advantage of being his team’s first-choice penalty taker.

However, Semenyo edges out his team-mate in terms of shots on target, big chances created and tackles – he also gets more minutes.

Both midfielders are certainly viable selections for the next two Gameweeks at least.

Milos Kerkez (£3.5m) is the best option among the defensive assets with seven goal involvements to his name, the latest being a cross of the highest quality at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.

The Hungarian left-back is one of the best players in his position the Premier League has to offer but, for all Bournemouth’s attacking pedigree, clean sheets have not come easily.

One tempting option is Evanilson (£3.9m).

The Cherries’ No9 returned from injury in Gameweek 25 and since then he’s scored two goals in two outings as a starter.

The former Porto striker currently appears in just 0.2% of teams, making him a MASSIVE differential in the world of Dream Team.

Bournemouth’s attacking assets should be popular recruits this weekGetty

Evanilson actually scored against both Man City and Brentford earlier in the season and so the prospect of recruiting him just before he is unleashed upon the same opponents – plus relegation-bound Ipswich – is an intriguing one.

Kluivert and Semenyo will be the more popular options for gaffers keen on Bournemouth’s next two Gameweeks but the lowly-owned Brazilian striker is a potential difference maker worthy of consideration.
