Dugout Discussion – Bournemouth vs Man City

Gameweek 3 gets underway at the Vitality Stadium as Bournemouth entertain Manchester City in the 12.30pm kick-off.

The visitors have made a somewhat underwhelming start to the new season, netting just three times in the first couple of matches.

As a result, Pep Guardiola has made a number of alterations, with the decision to drop Sergio Aguero to the bench a major surprise.

With the battle for our three-man frontlines intensifying, the Argentine’s absence could trigger big sales over the upcoming international break.

Team-mates Gabriel Jesus and Kevin De Bruyne were sold by 218,000 and 117,00 FPL managers respectively last week after serving up back-to-back blanks. But a return to a lone striker system now looks set to force a reassessment of City’s attack.

For the Cherries, Eddie Howe unleashes Josh King alongside Jermain Defoe for the first time as they go in search of their first league goal of the season.

The hosts’ Ryan Fraser also drops out as Howe opts for a wing-back system, with Charlie Daniels and Adam Smith on the flanks.

Paul Is certain he won't make the same mistakes next season. Follow them on Twitter

      It really does scare you how easily these accounts get hacked.

      Imagine the FFS twitter account being hacked and the 10s of people it would affect.

    A number of City fans clapped Daniels goal. It was an effing good hit I know that.

    1. Bubz

      Not the brightest fans in fairness.

      They're known to turn their backs on their players during games also. 🙂

    Captain Jesus.

    But KdB has to go irrespective of how many points he scores today. Looking for replacement suggestions.
    Hennessey / Elliott
    Valencia / Cedric / Dummett / Naughton / Suttner
    KdB / Alli / Mkhitaryan / Ritchie / Carroll
    Lukaku / Jesus / Mounie

    1. Respect My Authoritah
      • 10 Years
      6 years, 7 months ago

      Eriksen seems obvious

    2. Beatle
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      6 years, 7 months ago

      David Silva

    3. Stokelona
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 7 months ago

      Silva and upgrade?

    4. Ady87
      • 10 Years

      Mane

    I like how "KDB so deep" is essentially a variant of "Yo mama so fat"

    1. Andy_Social
      • 11 Years
      6 years, 7 months ago

      I'm enjoying them. Even tho the heat map shows he's NOT playing too deep!

      1. Witty Pun: Not good at this…
        • 7 Years
        6 years, 7 months ago

        Controversial opinion right here 😛

        1. FlockofSeagulls
          • 6 Years
          6 years, 7 months ago

          I'm fairly certain this is not what great minds think about.

  13. Guy Demel

    Love how sky now manage to squeeze 3 advert breaks into half time.

    1. Les Bleus
      • 12 Years
      6 years, 7 months ago

      It's so ridiculous. They came back for the 3rd one to promote the fight. Then went back to commercials.

    2. Fred54
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 7 months ago

      Was Trivago in there?

    1. Guy Demel
      • 11 Years
      6 years, 7 months ago

      At least you don't own KDB

    2. Podge
      • 13 Years
      6 years, 7 months ago

      Lucky you I'm -4

      1. The Royal Robin

  18. Les Bleus
    • 12 Years

    Yep, KDB coming out at CDM this second half too.

  19. Arteta
    • 8 Years
    6 years, 7 months ago

    Aguero owners - who is your autosub if he stays on the bench today?

    1. Baby Face Nelson
      • 13 Years
      6 years, 7 months ago

      He's coming on for 1pt

      1. Arteta
        • 8 Years
        6 years, 7 months ago

        A man can dream!

  20. Red Wasabi
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years

    After starting him twice, benched Him for the first time and he scores... Thank you Charlie Daniels.

  21. The Wanton Trader
    • 6 Years
    6 years, 7 months ago

    KDB going to have to change his name to Kevin de Kompany if he gets any deeper... 🙂

    1. Make United Great Again
      • 11 Years
      6 years, 7 months ago

      Not sure about this one.

      1. Siggy in the Middle
        • 8 Years
        6 years, 7 months ago

        Yeah. Swing and a miss I think.

      2. The Wanton Trader
        • 6 Years
        6 years, 7 months ago

        What about Kevin deep Bruyne....?

        1. FlockofSeagulls
          • 6 Years
          6 years, 7 months ago

          You're really bad at this.

          1. The Wanton Trader
            • 6 Years
            6 years, 7 months ago

            I'm trying my best.
            Hopefully he will bang in an 80 yard worldy and we can stop all this... 😉

  22. diesel001

    Pressure on Pep. 1-1 is not a good result for City.

    1. Guy Demel
      • 11 Years
      6 years, 7 months ago

      He'll be furious when they end up losing then.

    2. FlockofSeagulls
      • 6 Years
      6 years, 7 months ago

      He'll be alright once the fixtures ease up. 😆

  23. El-Kloppico
    • 8 Years

    Hope City gets a nice free kick for KdB to hit the target and give me some hope..

    6 years, 7 months ago

    KDB deeper than Riley Reid.

  28. wowBOBwow
    • 7 Years
    6 years, 7 months ago

    KDB is deeper than an autistic kid who took psyocilibin, fell down a well and found a copy of The Upanishads.

    1. FlockofSeagulls
      • 6 Years
      6 years, 7 months ago

      Oooh, controversial.

  29. DR0GBA

    Can't wait to sell KDB

  30. Forza Papac
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years

    Signs that KDB may be more adventurous this half
