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.

    Silva/Jesus are surely THE City pick, right?

    Can't bank on any of their wingbacks starting each week.

    Cook should have been booked at least. Shocking tackle. No place in the game for that sort of challenge.

      Played the ball but cleared out the man.
      People will say it wasn't a foul but that's not right under the actual rules nowadays

    Guardiola the most annoying manager for fantasy managers?

      Pretty much.

      Jesus playing second fiddle to Aguero in front two - not nearly worth 10.5

      Jesus on his own up front - essential at 10.5

      Ho hum.
