FFT's view The Plan Last season’s 56 points was a club-record haul for a second successive campaign, with 9th a joint-best top-flight finish, so the task in 2025-26 is simple: more of the same. Bournemouth’s high-pressing machine is the envy of many (no team won the ball in the opposition’s third more often last season), and such collective endeavour can help cover for key individual exits that began with Dean Huijsen and Milos Kerkez.
