Josh King

Bournemouth’s average highest rated player this season is Norwegian international Josh King, who has contributed a haul of three goals and one assist – as well as two goals for Norway in a qualification match against San Marino.

Much like Callum Wilson, Josh King is brilliant at using his speed to his advantage. Last season was terrific for the ex-Manchester United striker, as he scored 16 goals to make a name for himself in the top flight after helping Bournemouth to Premier League promotion just two years earlier. King was reportedly subject to interest from Tottenham in the summer, and the Norwegian will surely be gunning for that move in years to come.

King also has an average of 2.4 aerial duels won per game – so much like Callum Wilson, he will be a danger from set-piece situations.
