BournemouthBusy defensive display in draw
Senesi had two tackles (two won), seven clearances and one interception in Tuesday's 0-0 draw versus Brentford.
Analysis: Senesi was busy defensively as his side drew 0-0 to Brentford. He won both of his tackles, made seven clearances and one interception. He has won two tackles in the last two matches and has made at least three clearances in every Premier League game this season.
Tallies five clearances in draw
Senesi had one shot (one on goal) and five clearances in Saturday's 0-0 draw versus West Ham United. In addition, he was given a yellow card in the 44th minute.
Analysis: Senesi produced via accurate passes and defensive numbers, with his five clearances tying for the most in the game during a favorable matchup. The center-back recorded 90 minutes of play for the 12th time in a row in league activity. Over that span, he has registered more than three clearances in all but one game.
Busy defense performance in draw
Senesi registered seven clearancesand five interceptions in Monday's 1-1 draw versus Brighton. In addition, he was given a yellow card in the 60th minute.
Analysis: Senesi had a busy defensive display as he helped Bournemouth secure a point away to Brighton. They had looked set for a 1-0 win before an overhead kick floated into the top corner. He made five interceptions and seven clearances as he helped prevent a goal being scored in the 90 minutes of normal time before the goal came in injury time.
Assists versus Spurs
Senesi assisted once to go with zero corners and one chance created in Wednesday's 3-2 victory over Tottenham Hotspur.
Analysis: Senesi set up Junior Kroupi's goal in the 36th minute Wednesday, a goal which took the 2-1 lead into the halftime break. It marked his fourth assist of the season, two of which have come against Spurs. He played well on the defensive end too as he recorded 10 clearances, two blocked shots, one interception and one tackle in his full 90 minutes of action.
Starting Monday
Senesi (undisclosed) is in the starting XI for Monday's trip to Manchester United.
Analysis: Senesi is back in the starting XI for Monday's clash with Manchester United. The defender only had a cramp after scans revealed his muscular injury was nothing serious. After that update there was always hope he would start, and it now seems everything progressed as expected.
Late call Monday
Senesi (undisclosed) doesn't have a proper muscle injury and hopes to be back available for Monday's clash against Manchester United, coach Andoni Iraola said in the press conference, according to Nerve Sport.
Analysis: Senesi was forced off in the second half of Saturday's clash against Chelsea due to an issue that was revealed to be minor after scans, as it is not a proper muscle injury. The center back could be back available for Monday's clash against Manchester United if the late fitness call is positive for him. This would be great news for the Cherries since Veljko Milosavljevic's knee injury is expected to keep him out for at least two months.
Set for scans
Senesi (undisclosed) is thought to have only suffered a cramp but is set for testing, according to manager Andoni Iraloa, per Jordan Clark of the BBC. "He felt cramps. He didn't feel anything specific, and I have some hope. When we assess him, we will probably have to do an MRI or something to see if there is a small injury in the quad."
Analysis: Senesi suffered a knock Saturday, and it appears to be exactly that, with the club claiming he suffered a cramp. However, he is still set for testing, hoping he has no underlying injuries in his leg. He is their typical starter in defense, and with Veljko Milosavljevic (knee) out, they will hope he is not set to miss time.
Suffers knock
Senesi was forced off in the 62nd minute of Saturday's match against Chelsea due to an apparent injury.
Analysis: Senesi would make the starting XI Saturday after an injury and absence last match, but would cut his day short in the 62nd minute, leaving due to an apparent knock. He is the typical starter in the defense when fit, so this will be something to monitor for the club, with James Hill as a possible replacement if Senesi were to miss more time.
Ready to return
Senesi is available for Saturday's clash with Chelsea after serving a one-match ban.
Analysis: Senesi was banned for yellow card accumulation and is now eligible to return. The defender should be straight back in the starting XI now that he's fit once more. Senesi has started and gone the full 90 in almost every match he's been fit for.
Picks up ban
Senesi is suspended for one game due to yellow card accumulation.
Analysis: Senesi will not be an option for the club in their next match, picking up a ban due to a fifth yellow card. This will leave him banned to face Everton on Tuesday, losing a regular starter for the club. That said, Veljko Milosavljevic is likely to be his replacement in the defense, with Senesi set to return when facing Chelsea on Dec. 6.
Assists in draw
Senesi assisted once to go with one shot (zero on goal), four crosses (two accurate) and three chances created in Saturday's 2-2 draw against West Ham United. In addition, he was given a yellow card in the 96th minute.
Analysis: Senesi isn't normally a big offensive contributor, but he earned an assist during Saturday's draw, and also created three chances. The center-back isn't likely to be a sudden offensive contributor, but this was a nice return. Senesi is set to retain a large role moving forward even if this offensive outburst isn't likely to continue.
Assist in draw
Senesi assisted once to go with two crosses (one accurate) and one chance created in Saturday's 2-2 draw versus Leeds United.
Analysis: Senesi was a steady presence at the heart of Bournemouth's defense Saturday, making three clearances and two interceptions. His main contribution though was a flick that allowed Eli Junior Kroupi's stoppage-time volley to earn the Cherries a point. The regular starter has been party to two clean sheets this season, following the departure of Illia Zabarnyi he leads Bournemouth's defense and consistently delivers strong defensive fantasy scores.
Assists match winner
Senesi assisted once to go with two shots (zero on goal) and one chance created in Saturday's 1-0 win over Tottenham Hotspur.
Analysis: Senesi played the perfect provider Saturday in his side's 1-0 win at Tottenham, threading a clever through-pass that set up Evanilson to put the ball in the net. He also won five of the six tackles he engaged in and executed four clearances (highest in the team). The Argentinian is the kernel of the Cherries defensive line, contributing to back-to-back clean sheets, but demonstrated that he can also directly make his mark on offensive plays. If Bournemouth keep up their defensive consistency and he continues to feed their attackers, he's shaping up as a smart, high-upside fantasy option heading into upcoming fixtures.
