Bournemouth midfielder Antoine Semenyo is beginning to drop in FPL ownership after a quiet few weeks in front of goal &#8211; but should mangers keep the faith or look to move him on?
We take a look at the Cherries&#8217; upcoming <a href="https://www.fantasyfootballhub.co.uk/fixture-ticker">fixtures</a>, <a href="https://www.fantasyfootballhub.co.uk/predictions">Hub AI</a> predicted points and Semenyo&#8217;s <a href="https://www.fantasyfootballhub.co.uk/opta">stats</a> to help answer the question.
Semenyo is the ninth most popular sale since the last deadline, with 82,000 managers giving him the boot &#8211; and since initially publishing this article, his fitness has been called into question.

<h2>How has Semenyo performed recently?</h2>
Semenyo rocketed in ownership after a hot start to the season and he&#8217;s currently the second most popular pick, in 64% of teams.
Over the first 11 gameweeks, he&#8217;s managed six goals and four assists &#8211; only Erling Haaland has more goal involvements.
Like the Norwegian, his returns represent an over-performance. His 75 point total &#8211; the third most overall &#8211; is nearly 23 points more than expected.
So it should not be too much of a surprise to have seen his output dip in recent weeks.

&nbsp;
Semenyo has scored nine points in the last four gameweeks, with a penalty miss accounting for the majority of his 0.98 expected goals (xG).
He&#8217;s third for total shots (four) behind Marcus Tavernier (eight) and Eli Junior Kroupi (five), a category he has dominated among Bournemouth players over the first 11 gameweeks as a whole.
Kroupi&#8217;s short stint in the team covering for the injured Evanilson could have impacted the team&#8217;s attacking dynamics, however the Brazilian is now back fit and started in Gameweek 11.
Lack of points often leads to FPL managers moving players on &#8211; as it has done on a relatively small scale in Semenyo&#8217;s case &#8211; but it&#8217;s not always wise to do so.
<div id="attachment_75788" style="width: 850px" class="wp-caption aligncenter"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-75788" class="size-full wp-image-75788" src="https://cms.fantasyfootballhub.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2025/11/Semenyo-shots-GW9-11.jpeg" alt="All of Antoine's Semenyo's recent shots have been on target but he's not scored from them" width="840" height="690" srcset="https://cms.fantasyfootballhub.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2025/11/Semenyo-shots-GW9-11.jpeg 840w, https://cms.fantasyfootballhub.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2025/11/Semenyo-shots-GW9-11-300x246.jpeg 300w, https://cms.fantasyfootballhub.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2025/11/Semenyo-shots-GW9-11-768x631.jpeg 768w" sizes="(max-width: 840px) 100vw, 840px" />All of Antoine&#8217;s Semenyo&#8217;s recent shots have been on target but he&#8217;s not scored from them</div>
<h2>FPL fixtures: How good are Bournemouth&#8217;s upcoming games?</h2>
Even if Semenyo&#8217;s form was unsustainable, strong fixtures can help reignite it.
We saw this with Joao Pedro in Gameweek 10 and 11, who rediscovered his shooting boots after a number of games without an attempt on target.
And the upcoming matches look excellent for Andoni Iraola&#8217;s side, who top the Hub&#8217;s fixture ticker over the next six gameweeks.
An appealing run begins with West Ham (H) in Gameweek 12, while Everton and Burnley also visit the Vitality Stadium.
There are only two away games in the next six, against Sunderland (A) and Manchester United (A).
Sunderland have performed well at home but are midtable for home expected goals conceded (xGC).
United meanwhile look good from an attacking sense but have struggled defensively and have the league&#8217;s fourth worst xGC.
There should be plenty of opportunities for the Cherries as a result.
<div id="attachment_75787" style="width: 1034px" class="wp-caption aligncenter"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-75787" class="size-large wp-image-75787" src="https://cms.fantasyfootballhub.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2025/11/Bournemouth-fixtures-1024x296.jpg" alt="Bournemouth top the Hub's fixture ticker" width="1024" height="296" srcset="https://cms.fantasyfootballhub.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2025/11/Bournemouth-fixtures-1024x296.jpg 1024w, https://cms.fantasyfootballhub.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2025/11/Bournemouth-fixtures-300x87.jpg 300w, https://cms.fantasyfootballhub.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2025/11/Bournemouth-fixtures-768x222.jpg 768w, https://cms.fantasyfootballhub.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2025/11/Bournemouth-fixtures-1080x312.jpg 1080w, https://cms.fantasyfootballhub.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2025/11/Bournemouth-fixtures.jpg 1443w" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px" />Bournemouth top the Hub&#8217;s fixture ticker</div>
<h2>Is Semenyo a hold or sell in FPL?</h2>
Over the course of Bournemouth&#8217;s ticker-topping run, Semenyo is the fourth highest predicted scoring midfielder according to Hub AI.
The rise in popularity of the similarly priced Bryan Mbeumo may help explain some of the sales, however it&#8217;s worth exploring whether there are alternative ways to buy the Manchester United man.

Semenyo would usually be among those heading to the Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) in a few weeks&#8217; time but Ghana have not qualified for the tournament.
He will therefore be available for the Burnley home fixture in Gameweek 17, where he will be among the week&#8217;s top predicted points scorers.
Injury could change everything though &#8211; see below for more details.

<h2>Could Semenyo injury doubt change things?</h2>
Semenyo has emerged as a <a href="https://www.ghanafa.org/antoine-semenyo-and-mohammed-salisu-leave-black-stars-camp-due-to-injuries">potential injury doubt</a> ahead of Gameweek 12.
The Ghana Football Association released a statement on Sunday (November 16) confirming he had withdrawn from the squad with a &#8216;left anterior talo-fibula ligament sprain&#8217; &#8211; an ankle problem.
It said it had been &#8216;aggravated during the game against Japan&#8217; and he was replaced in the 55th minute.
Should he be ruled out of the weekend&#8217;s league fixture, early sellers may be justified in their decision.
But Andoni Iraola&#8217;s <a href="https://www.fantasyfootballhub.co.uk/premier-league-predicted-lineups">press conference</a> will be crucial in assessing owners&#8217; next steps.
