With <a href=\"https:\/\/www.365scores.com\/en-us\/football\/player\/andoni-iraola-5780\">Andoni Iraola<\/a> at the helm, the club not only weathered the storm of losing key players but emerged stronger, faster, and far more efficient. The <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.365scores.com\/news\/introducing-the-365scores-impact-rating-ir-measuring-a-players-influence-on-their-team\">Impact Rating (IR)<\/a><\/strong> data tells how this side evolved into one of the most exciting projects in European football.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>A Defensive Overhaul That Works<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Last season\u2019s defensive unit: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.365scores.com\/en-us\/football\/player\/dean-huijsen-124224\">Dean Huijsen<\/a> (Real Madrid), <a href=\"https:\/\/www.365scores.com\/en-us\/football\/player\/ilya-zabarnyi-80015\">Ilya Zabarnyi<\/a> (PSG), <a href=\"https:\/\/www.365scores.com\/en-us\/football\/player\/ilya-zabarnyi-80015\">Milos Kerkez<\/a> (Liverpool), and goalkeeper Kepa (Arsenal) &#8211; is gone. Only Adam Smith remains from that backline. On paper, losing three starting defenders and the goalkeeper should have weakened Bournemouth. Instead, Iraola built a new defense that outperforms the old guard.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This year\u2019s backline features:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.365scores.com\/en-us\/football\/player\/marcos-senesi-44411\">Marcos Senesi<\/a><\/strong> (cemented a starting role)<br><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.365scores.com\/en-us\/football\/player\/bafode-diakite-62065\">Bafod\u00e9 Diakit\u00e9<\/a><\/strong> (arrived from Lille)<br><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.365scores.com\/en-us\/football\/player\/adrien-truffert-79763\">Adrien Truffert<\/a><\/strong> (brought in from Rennes)<br><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.365scores.com\/en-us\/football\/player\/adam-smith-3677\">Adam Smith<\/a><\/strong><\/strong> (continuing from last season)<br><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.365scores.com\/en-us\/football\/player\/djordje-petrovic-84332\">Djordje Petrovic<\/a><\/strong> (ex-Chelsea bench goalkeeper)<br><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Defensive IR Comparison<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>24\/25 Defense + GK Total IR<\/strong>: <strong>122.98<\/strong><strong><br><\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>25\/26 Defense + GK Total IR<\/strong>: <strong>129.28<\/strong><strong><br><\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Defensively, Bournemouth now thrives on interceptions, tackles high up the pitch, and winning second balls, rather than waiting deep and reacting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The improvement is evident, mainly thanks to <strong>Diakit\u00e9 (DEF IR 24.20)<\/strong> and <strong>Senesi (DEF IR 29.28)<\/strong>, two players who individually posted higher defensive ratings than any Bournemouth defender last season.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Between the posts, <strong>Petrovic<\/strong> is a significant upgrade. His <strong>GK IR of 28.27<\/strong> dwarfs Kepa\u2019s 22.77, pushing the defensive unit to new heights.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/www.365scores.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/GettyImages-2232263269-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"Bafode Diakite of Bournemouth during the Premier League match \" class=\"wp-image-11873\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.365scores.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/GettyImages-2232263269-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.365scores.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/GettyImages-2232263269-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.365scores.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/GettyImages-2232263269-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.365scores.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/GettyImages-2232263269-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.365scores.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/GettyImages-2232263269-scaled.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\"> (Photo by Mark Leech\/Offside\/Offside via Getty Images)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Midfield Stability Turned Into Dominance<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The midfield trio last season of <strong>Tyler Adams, Lewis Cook, and Ryan Christie<\/strong> managed a combined <strong>Average Impact Rating of 63.25<\/strong>.

His 30.30 defensive contribution against Brighton is proof of a forward who tackles, intercepts, and blocks as much as he dribbles and shoots.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Evanilson complements him by staying central, offering hold-up play, and exploiting the spaces Semenyo creates.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Together, they embody Iraola\u2019s principle: forwards defend first, then explode into attack. This constant pressure creates turnovers and high-value chances, turning Bournemouth into one of the Premier League\u2019s most dangerous transition teams.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>That\u2019s a leap of nearly 20 points, driving their <strong>combined Average Impact Rating from 54.73 to 76.27<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"instagram-media\" data-instgrm-captioned data-instgrm-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/DO3UxuxiAN4\/?utm_source=ig_embed&amp;utm_campaign=loading\" data-instgrm-version=\"14\" style=\" background:#FFF;

His recent performance against Brighton was astonishing:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Average Impact Rating<\/strong>: <strong>81.62<\/strong><strong><br><\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Defensive Impact Rating<\/strong>: <strong>30.30<\/strong><strong><br><\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>A forward defensively leading the team at that level shows how far Semenyo and Bournemouth have come.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div data-widget-type=\"predictions\" data-entity-type=\"game\" data-widget-id=\"0.026l0lkpsbn9\" data-lang=\"en-US\" data-user-country-id=\"\" data-entity-id=\"4452803\" data-publisher-id=\"125\" data-live-mode=\"true\" data-hide-powered-by=\"true\"><\/div>\n<script src=\"https:\/\/widgets.365scores.com\/main.js\"><\/script>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>The Bigger Picture: Bournemouth\u2019s Evolution<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The numbers leave no doubt:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Lineup Impact Rating 24\/25<\/strong>: <strong>240.96<\/strong><strong><br><\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Lineup Impact Rating 25\/26<\/strong>: <strong>285.65<\/strong><strong><br><\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>A jump of nearly <strong>45 points<\/strong> demonstrates a tactical and cultural shift.

Instead, under <strong>Andoni Iraola<\/strong>, they became stronger in every department. His tactics amplify collective effort, encourage players to contribute in all phases, and most importantly, unlock hidden potential in stars like Semenyo and newcomers like Diakit\u00e9.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Andoni Iraola\u2019s success comes from a few tactical pillars:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>High Press, High Reward:<\/strong> Bournemouth ranks among the most aggressive pressing teams, with attackers and midfielders initiating defensive actions close to the opponent\u2019s box.<br><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Compact Verticality:<\/strong> When the ball is won, transitions are immediate. Two or three passes are enough to reach the box.<br><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Shared Responsibility:<\/strong> Defending and attacking are everyone\u2019s jobs. Impact Ratings show forwards contributing defensively and defenders stepping into build-up play.<br><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Positivity in Actions:<\/strong> Every player is encouraged to take risks\u2014press, tackle, dribble, switch play. This volume of positive actions boosts both their IR and their effectiveness on the pitch.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p>With Bournemouth\u2019s trajectory pointing upward, Iraola has proven he isn\u2019t just one of the Premier League\u2019s most exciting coaches &#8211; he\u2019s one of the future architects of European football.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"789\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/www.365scores.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/GettyImages-2195893155-789x1024.jpg\" alt=\"Head Coach Andoni Iraola of Bournemouth \" class=\"wp-image-11875\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.365scores.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/GettyImages-2195893155-789x1024.jpg 789w, https:\/\/www.365scores.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/GettyImages-2195893155-231x300.jpg 231w, https:\/\/www.365scores.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/GettyImages-2195893155-768x997.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.365scores.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/GettyImages-2195893155-1184x1536.jpg 1184w, https:\/\/www.365scores.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/GettyImages-2195893155-scaled.jpg 1578w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 789px) 100vw, 789px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">(Photo by Robin Jones &#8211; AFC Bournemouth\/AFC Bournemouth via Getty Images)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Bournemouth\u2019s transformation between the 24\/25 and 25\/26 seasons is remarkable.
