Each week, the Daily Echo has rated the AFC Bournemouth players for their performances in the Premier League, and, now the season has ended, we have taken a look back across all 38 league games to give each player a final rating.
Averaging each player’s ratings across the games they featured in, the players who rated best will perhaps come as no surprise, but, over the course of the campaign, most players averaged out in a tight bunch.

Five players this season got a 10 for their performances in a game, while the worst rating dished out was a three, on two occasions.
Here’s how every player rated.

James Hill – 7.4815
The centre back was excellent in the latter part of the season, which led to many player of the season shouts. Indeed, he came second in the Micky Cave/Daily Echo player of the year award vote. His rating was perhaps boosted compared to others for the smaller role he played in the club’s poor run in the middle of the season.
Alex Scott – 7.3714
Of the players who played a key role throughout the 38 games, it is perhaps no surprise that that Scott comes out on top and scooped the Micky Cave trophy. A superb season of excellent consistency throughout the campaign. Scott and Hill were two of the players to earn 10s in the season, for their performances against Arsenal at the Emirates.
Rayan – 7. 3333
Another whose rating will likely have been boosted by not featuring in the side’s poor run of form, Rayan made a clear impact after his arrival in January. A couple of quieter performances
Marcos Senesi – 7.1081
Senesi was a top performer this season, and the club will miss him next term. After Scott, probably the most consistent and dependable player in the group, and a key part in the club’s success.

Adrien Truffert – 7.0263
Truffert was another who was impressively consistent throughout the season. His performances and level throughout the campaign was made all the more impressive as it was his first in England.
Veljko Milosavljevic – 7
Milosavljevic only got four ratings across the season, but an 8 in his first two starts in wins over Brighton and Nottingham Forest mean he ranks highly. He was on for only short cameos in his other three appearances of the season, so did not get a rating.
Antoine Semenyo – 7
Semenyo was a vital part of the first half of the season for the Cherries, and scored a number of key goals before his January departure for Manchester City. His rating is perhaps lower than his overall impact in that first part of the season due to the club’s poor run of form. Semenyo got one of the 10 ratings, for his masterclass against Fulham early in the season.
Alex Jimenez – 6.9667
Jimenez was one of the rising stars of the Bournemouth team before his suspension towards the end. The club are still waiting for the outcome of an FA investigation into the right back.

Tyler Adams – 6.9583
The American was a vital part of the Cherries team this term and put in some big performances in midfield. A couple of knocks at various points partly derailed Adams’ season, otherwise he would have likely ended slightly higher up this list.
Marcus Tavernier – 6.9118
An important part of Bournemouth’s remarkable 18-game unbeaten run at the end of the season, Tavernier was an always reliable player for Andoni Iraola.
Junior Kroupi – 6.8387
Some standout performances from the teenager earned him some big scores, including a 10 for his record-breaking performance against Manchester City. A couple of quieter performances, particularly in the middle of the season, brought his average down a little.

Djordje Petrovic – 6.7895
A solid first campaign between the sticks for the Serbian. He had his difficulties prior to January, but since the new year he has been excellent, and his scores reflect that. He’ll be aiming to build on a good first campaign next season.
Evanilson – 6.6667
The Brazilian was a key cog in the Cherries machine this season, but was also guilty of a couple of off days in bad team performances, such was his importance in the system.
Ryan Christie – 6.6154
After a player of the season campaign in 2024/25, Christie’s season was disrupted by injury. But once he returned, he looked to be approaching his best and he will head to the World Cup with Scotland. His rating was not helped by his red card at Fulham in the third-to-last game of the season.
Lewis Cook – 6.5385
Another player who played a key role in the 24/25 season who has had a smaller part in 25/26 due to injury was Cook. His rating was knocked by his sending off at Sunderland but he had an otherwise solid season.

Adam Smith – 6.5333
The ever-reliable Smith was dependable for Iraola when called upon. Three excellent performances in the final three games of the season help to bring his rating up – a strong campaign from the skipper.
Alex Toth – 6.5
The January signing has looked bright in parts and he looks to be a midfielder full of talent. He will get more opportunities to show just what he can do next season with more games to be played.
David Brooks – 6.4333
An excellent start to the season was hampered a little by a couple of middling performances when the team was in a poor run of form. Brooks then was deployed largely off the bench after the purchase of Rayan in January.

Amine Adli – 6.2692
Adli has taken some time to settle into the Premier League but his European experience will surely prove invaluable next term. A couple of memorable moments from the Moroccan this season though – including a dramatic late winner against Liverpool.
Justin Kluivert – 6.2
A season hampered by injury for Kluivert, who, like Cook and Christie above, has played a lesser role this season than last. Surgery in January for a knee injury kept him out before a couple of appearances off the bench at the end of the season, but he’ll be hoping for a good World Cup with the Netherlands.
Bafode Diakite – 6.1875
Diakite came straight into the team at the start of the season and made a good start. But the French centre back was dropped from the team after the Brentford thrashing and James Hill came in, meaning Diakite had few opportunities to the end of the season.

Ben Gannon-Doak – 6.1667
Gannon-Doak will be another who will likely get many more minutes to make an impact next season, after a disappointing first season through injury. Like Kluivert, he’ll be hoping for a good World Cup with Scotland.
Enes Unal – 5.6667
Unal was limited to appearances off the bench, often for a few minutes here and there, and didn’t make a huge impact. He’s likely to leave the club this summer, after a good time with Bournemouth. His highlight this season was another late equaliser against West Ham.
