Ryan Christie
30-Year-Old
AFC Bournemouth
Premier
2025 Fantasy Outlook
Christie was excellent throughout the 2024/25 campaign, starting almost every match he was fit for while adding five goal contributions. There was some concern that Tyler Adams would eat into his minutes, but Christie was an unquestioned starter, at least until a groin injury ended his season early. The injury isn't expected to change his starting gig for 2025/26, though if Adams and Alex Scott can remain healthy, there's a chance the consistent minutes evaporate. Christie isn't a major offensive threat, but in the right situation with set pieces, he can always impress on the score sheet.
Bench role Sunday
Christie (undisclosed) is on the bench for Sunday's match against Newcastle.
ANALYSIS
Christie is on the bench after an expected return Sunday, with the midfielder recovering from his undisclosed issues. He has yet to earn a start this season in three appearances on the team sheet, but will hope to at least see time to test his legs.
