James Hill

Hill launches a throw in far enough to reach the six yard box, which means Bournemouth treat a stoppage near the corner flag the way most teams treat a corner itself. Defenders have to pick up runners rather than relax, and goalkeepers face a ball arriving at genuine pace from an angle they rarely practise against. It is an unusual route to relevance for a centre back, built on repetition in training rather than natural talent alone.

The rest of his defending is more conventional, built around attacking crosses early and trusting his jump over his positioning. Whether that approach survives against forwards with real pace in behind is the question that follows him into most matches. He came through the lower leagues rather than a Premier League academy, which shows in how willingly he throws himself into contact that more polished defenders tend to avoid.
