Box-to-box midfielder
At AFC Bournemouth, where they currently occupy 9th place in the standings, Ryan Christie continues to be a pivotal creative force in Andoni Iraola's midfield. The 30-year-old Scottish international, valued at €10 million, has made 7 appearances this season, contributing 1 goal across 380 minutes of Premier League action. As an advanced playmaker with a deadly left foot, Christie's reputation for long-range shooting and set-piece delivery remains his calling card - attributes that saw him secure a contract extension through 2027 just over a year ago. The son of former Inverness Caledonian Thistle player Charlie Christie brings Premier League experience from his Celtic days, and alongside midfield partners Lewis Cook and Alex Scott, forms the creative heartbeat of this Cherries side. While he's yet to register an assist this campaign, Christie's 3 yellow cards hint at the tenacity and work rate that complement his technical gifts. Bournemouth faithful know that when the ball falls to Christie's left boot from 25 yards, anything can happen.
