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.
Strikes from bench
Christie scored one goal to go with one shot (one on goal) and one cross (not accurate) in Saturday's 3-3 draw versus Crystal Palace. In addition, he was given a yellow card in the 90th minute.
ANALYSIS
Christie came off the bench after 67 minutes Saturday and bagged his first goal of the season. He also scored in his previous match which was for Scotland in the UEFA World Cup qualifiers. The creative midfielder has made six appearances, but just one start. It is likely that will continue given the strength of the Cherries current midfield cohort.

Misses out Saturday

"He had a big knock two days ago, training yesterday. He could train, and he trained, but he was limping, and it didn't make any sense to take risks, especially so early in the season."
