For Bournemouth, the issues are mainly fitness-related rather than confirmed absences.

Impact Summary

Fulham’s main creative force H. Wilson, with 10 goals and 6 assists, is available, preserving a key share of their 44 league goals. However, losing versatile contributors like A. Iwobi and R. Sessegnon reduces depth and flexibility in wide and midfield areas, while Kevin’s absence trims their attacking options.

Bournemouth retain significant attacking output with E. Kroupi (12 goals) and A. Semenyo (10 goals, 3 assists) both available, safeguarding a large portion of their 55 goals. Doubts over L. Cook, J. Kluivert, and J. Soler may limit rotation and late-game options but do not remove their primary scorers from contention.
