What the model makes of them
The model rates Bournemouth's attack 7th of 20 and its defence 16th: against an average opponent it projects 1.35 goals scored and 1.12 conceded.
Across the next 8 fixtures the kindest is Sunderland in gameweek 7 (home), where the model has them +0.53 goals better off; the hardest is Chelsea in gameweek 6 at -0.90.
Taken as a run rather than a fixture at a time, that schedule ranks 5th of 20 in the league for attacking upside over the same window.
Tavernier is the model's pick of the squad on 32.1 points over the run, 4.0 clear of Truffert.
