Marcus Tavernier

PitchKeep Take · The Premier

Marcus Tavernier is a midfielder for Bournemouth, age 27, £6.0m. The Premier ranks him 69th overall by splitting Sleeper BPL 2025 (#64, 149.8 points) with the consensus of 3 other boards (63.67). Production and the industry almost agree, which is rarer than it looks on a 24-source mix. When both sides land in the same band, The Premier stops arguing and prints the number.

The 2025/26 Premier League line is 31 starts and 2732 minutes, 7 goals and 4 assists, 39 tackles and 62 CBI. Official FPL scored it at 137 points (4.0 per match) with 14 bonus. Sleeper's table turned the same counting stats into 149.8. Midfielders get 9 a goal, 6 an assist, and 1 a clean sheet, plus a full tackle/CBI stream. That is why a six who plays every week can outrank a ten-goal winger who sits.

Underlying: 9.06 xG, 4.6 xA, 13.66 xGI. He finished -2.1 above expected goals. Set pieces: penalty order #3, first-choice corners, first-choice direct free-kicks for Bournemouth. Role at Bournemouth is the 2026/27 question sitting under the 2025/26 number. 31 starts is a starter. Anything under 25 starts is a rotation warning we already priced. Minutes are the skill that survives a finishing regression. The friendliest board is FPL xGI at 16; the coldest is FPL Ownership at 140.

Market: £6.0m, 11 boards on the file. That is leftover money for a Premier-ranked name. If the minutes hold, this board already voted. FPL's own EP-next is 2.1. ICT 207.9.

Instruction: deep-league starter, shallow-league watchlist. The 2025/26 line got him onto the 400. A role change gets him off it. Watch minutes, not vibes. Nearby on The Premier: Dango Ouattara, Chris Wood, Adrien Truffert. Versus The Pitch (Sleeper-only #64), the hybrid moves him down to #69. That move is the third list doing its job.

He is 27, which on this board is neither a dart nor a warning label. Prime-age midfielders get ranked on what they just did and whether Bournemouth still gives them the ball. 2732 minutes says yes. The 2026/27 FPL price (£6.0m) is the app's guess at whether that continues. The Premier is the blend of that guess and the box score.

How to use the file: The Pitch is the Sleeper-only 400 (he is #64 there). The Premier is the 50/50 with every other board we track. Attack, Midfield, Defence, and Keepers re-rank the same Sleeper table by position. BK Value on this page follows The Premier when you are on the hybrid calculator and The Pitch when you are on the Sleeper calculator. Same curve either way - 12,000 at 1.01. 6 yellows are a real Sleeper tax.
