Our verdict on Smith
Chosen Esiwe
Adam Smith has started 8 of Bournemouth's 8 league games this season and averages 85 minutes when he does. That is about as secure as a starting place gets. At £4.5m and owned by just 0.1% of managers, he is a genuine differential.
Over the last 30 days he has averaged 4.0 points a game, which puts him 25th out of 135 regular defenders. He is comfortably in the top half. He has 2 clean sheets and 0 bonus points so far. His returns trail what his chances suggest, which often means better weeks are on the way.
He costs exactly what he did at the start of the season.
Over the next five gameweeks he faces LEE (H), IPS (A), NFO (H), FUL (A) and BHA (H). There is nothing there to be afraid of.
Every figure here comes from the official Fantasy Premier League data and refreshes as the week goes on. We judge minutes first, then form against others in the same position, price movement and the next five fixtures.
