The short answer
Bournemouth and Everton drew 1-1, with Alex Scott opening the scoring before James Tarkowski equalised in stoppage time.
The FPL headline is striking:
Scott and Tarkowski both finished on 12 live points.
But their routes were very different — and that matters for future transfers.
Goals and FPL assists
| Goal | FPL assist |
|---|---|
| Alex Scott | Evanilson |
| James Tarkowski | None |
Live FPL points
| Player | Live points |
|---|---|
| Alex Scott | 12 |
| James Tarkowski | 12 |
| Evanilson | 5 |
| António Silva | 4 |
| Jarrad Branthwaite | 4 |
Projected/official bonus at full-time:
- Scott: 3
- Tarkowski: 2
- Adrien Truffert: 2
1. Alex Scott has several FPL routes now
Scott scored from the edge of the box after Evanilson's pass.
More importantly, he also reached 15 defensive contributions, enough for two extra FPL points.
He was heavily involved in Bournemouth's dead balls too, taking four corners according to the match data.
That means his FPL routes now include:
- goals
- assists
- corners
- DefCon
- bonus
That is a much healthier profile than relying on long-range goals.
OneFPL verdict: WATCH closely.
Compare Scott's price and projection with other cheap midfielders in the Player Lab.
2. Tarkowski reminded us why defenders can still haul without a clean sheet
Everton conceded in the first half.
Tarkowski still reached 12 live points thanks to his stoppage-time goal and bonus/defensive work.
He remains one of the league's strongest centre-backs for:
- set-piece threat
- clearances and blocks
- Defensive Contributions
- bonus
Everton host Manchester United next.
That is not an automatic clean-sheet fixture, but United's attacking performance in GW1 means it is not one managers need to fear blindly either.
OneFPL verdict: HOLD; interesting differential for GW3.
3. Barry blanked, but the performance was better than zero points suggests
Thierno Barry did not return.
Reports and supporter observations both highlighted multiple good opportunities, including chances that forced saves from Djordje Petrovic.
Everton's attack became less dangerous once Barry left the field.
After:
- GW1 goal
- Carabao Cup hat-trick
- another threatening league performance
there is no reason to panic over one blank.
OneFPL verdict: HOLD.
4. Everton's DefCon floor remains interesting
The live DefCon leaders included:
- Iliman Ndiaye: 13
- Mykolenko: 12
- Branthwaite: 11
- Garner: 11
Ndiaye, Mykolenko and Branthwaite all reached their positional thresholds for the extra two FPL points.
That makes Everton a very interesting team for the new scoring system even when the clean sheet disappears.
5. Bournemouth full-backs remain worth watching
Adrien Truffert collected two bonus points despite no attacking return and no clean sheet.
His overlapping role continues to look threatening.
Bournemouth travel to Newcastle next, so the fixture is harder, but the individual role remains appealing.
OneFPL verdict
