How to Read This
FPL Draft rating: My rating out of 10
Fantrax rating: My rating out of 10
Potential: Ceiling this season out of 10
Álex Jiménez (D)
Spain
Transfer: Loan from AC Milan (obligation to buy for £16.5m with 18 league starts)
Jiménez came through Real Madrid’s academy before moving to AC Milan and now Bournemouth. He clearly has strong potential, but at 20 years old this is one to monitor rather than act on immediately.
FPL Draft rating: 4
Fantrax rating: 4
Potential: 6
Amine Adli (F - Fantrax, M - FPL)
Morocco/France
Transfer: €21.00m from Bayer Leverkusen
Part of the group leaving Leverkusen after their title-winning season, Adli is an exciting player who could establish himself quickly. He appears to be the replacement for Ouattara and is already getting minutes. He needs to secure a starting role before being reliable, but waiting too long could mean missing out.
FPL Draft rating: 6
Fantrax rating: 6
Potential: 7
Bafodé Diakité (D)
France/Guinea
Transfer: €35.00m from LOSC Lille
Diakité is starting alongside Senesi. While Senesi offers more consistent Draft value, Diakité should not be overlooked. He contributed goals at Lille and brings upside for a defender. If you believe in Bournemouth, he is a strong pickup.
FPL Draft rating: 6
Fantrax rating: 6
Potential: 8
Romain Faivre (M)
France/Algeria
Transfer: Loan ended (was at Stade Brestois last season)
Faivre has not progressed as expected over recent seasons. With no appearances so far, he is not worth rostering.
FPL Draft rating: 1
Fantrax rating: 1
Potential: 4
Ben Gannon-Doak (F - Fantrax, M - FPL)
Scotland
Transfer: €23.20m from Liverpool
Doak has strong potential after a productive loan spell, but he is still developing and unlikely to have a major impact this season. One for the future.
FPL Draft rating: 3
Fantrax rating: 3
Potential: 5
Eli Junior Kroupi (F)
France/Ivory Coast
Transfer: Loan ended (was at FC Lorient last season)
Kroupi impressed in Ligue 2 with 22 goals, but this is a major step up. He has already seen some minutes off the bench but is unlikely to challenge Evanilson soon. If Evanilson gets injured, he becomes relevant quickly.
FPL Draft rating: 3
Fantrax rating: 3
Potential: 6
Veljko Milosavljevic (D)
Serbia
Transfer: €15.00m from Red Star Belgrade
At 18, he is a long-term project and will not feature regularly this season. No Draft value.
FPL Draft rating: 1
Fantrax rating: 1
Potential: 3
Djordje Petrovic (G)
Serbia
Transfer: €28.90m from Chelsea
Petrovic had an outstanding loan at Strasbourg and now steps in as Bournemouth’s starting goalkeeper. He should be owned in every league.
FPL Draft rating: 7
Fantrax rating: 7
Potential: 8
Adrien Truffert (D)
France
Transfer: €13.50m from Stade Rennais
A standout signing. Former Rennes captain and one of the best full-backs in Ligue 1. Already starting and contributing on both ends. He should be owned and started in every league.
FPL Draft rating: 7
Fantrax rating: 7
Potential: 9
