Marcus Tavernier
26-Year-Old
AFC Bournemouth
Premier
2025 Fantasy Outlook
Tavernier's 2024/25 season was once again limited by injuries after he missed a couple months between ankle and groin problems. From 29 appearances (20 starts), he netted three and created five assists, solid numbers as a key playmaker for the Cherries. His numbers were largely consistent across the board, aided by a split role of set pieces whenever on the pitch. If Tavernier can stay healthy an entire season, there's a chance he'll set career highs in the Premier League with 10 goal contributions possible, but he's yet to show he can do that across the last three campaigns.

Steady in drab stalemate
Tavernier had two shots (none on goal) and one chance created in Sunday's 0-0 draw versus Newcastle United.
ANALYSIS
Tavernier had a steady but unspectacular outing Sunday in a possession-heavy game that ultimately produced few clear chances. He placed no shots on target but had two attempts blocked, he was subbed after 75 minutes. Bournemouth dominated possession in the match but failed to convert dominance into offensive returns, Tavernier's contribution mirrored that: consistent effort, but low end-product. Looking ahead, his fantasy value looks more appealing in matches where the Cherries are expected to dominate territorially or against weaker defensive wings; those are the games where he's likelier to deliver goal or assist returns rather than just bonus from involvement.
