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

    Glad I kept Jesus and Daniels (even tho I benched him). Lol at those who sold both.

    1. TheBusDriver
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 22 days ago

      or either

    2. Siggy in the Middle

      Lol @ Daniels benchers

    3. SAY MY NAME
      • 9 Years

      both for a -8, fml, knew the sensible thing was to stick

    4. Lord Flashheart

      Lol at your post

      Just LOL @ everything

    6. Cok3y5murf

      Selling him and benching him have the same result today

    7. Point-one short
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 22 days ago

      Do you ever say anything positive?

  3. Ricky - it doesn\'t ta…
    • 15 Years
    9 years, 22 days ago

    de bruyne is playing way too deep for 10m

    1. Lord Flashheart
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 22 days ago

      He is playing too deep for 7 million

    2. under the dog
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 22 days ago

      he plays at 5.5m

  4. AnfieldLad
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 22 days ago

    KDB 'playing deep' is an understatement. Kompany passed it back to him a minute ago. He has to go...

  5. FantasyNik123
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 22 days ago

    KDB gets an assist and ends up with 5 points, would you:

    a) Keep in team
    b) Drop

    1. Tommy Tynans Left Shin Pad
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 22 days ago

      Drop

    2. diesel001
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 22 days ago

      Drop

    3. Neevesy
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 22 days ago

      DROP, playing as a Def Mid. 10m too much for that!

    4. Mauricios Cappuccino
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 22 days ago

      Drop.

    5. Les Bleus
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 22 days ago

      Drop even if he scores

    6. Kolarov Fpl Legend
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 22 days ago

      Yea i would, 5 points every 3dh week for 10.5m is great value.

    7. LǝgleSs e|even
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 22 days ago

      Drop, easy swap to Alexis!

    8. CC22
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 22 days ago

      Drop. As everyone is saying, it'd be just papering over the cracks. For £10 million he needs to play far further forward.

  6. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
    • 16 Years

    Kdb playing cb

  7. Oven Glover
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 22 days ago

    Is it a 3 atb with Kompany KDB Otamendi?

  8. Moves like Dejagah
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 22 days ago

    He's the last man ffs. This is so frustrating.

  9. Royal5
    • 15 Years
    9 years, 22 days ago

    Kdb playing extremely deep here. >:(

  10. Witty Pun: Not good at this…
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 22 days ago

    Logging back on after lunch... Time to find out if anything exciting happened! Maybe a KDB goal? Hopefully no Daniels goal because you know how it is when you bench that kind of player...

    Oh. Lol.

  11. Spartac Mac
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 22 days ago

    KDB on set pieces and corners but Silva is the man with the final pass.

    That's 3 or 4 times now he's fed a player who is in on goal.

    No doubt Silva over KDB for now.

  12. hogree
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 22 days ago

    Thoughts on % Chance TAA will play? Daniels 1st on bench behind him

  13. Differential C (Mark)
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 22 days ago

    KdB , excellent pass to Danilo, good stop by Bego

    1. Gabbiadini
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 22 days ago

      damn got both + Jesus

  14. TheTinman
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 22 days ago

    Bottomed

    I guess it's been mentioned but Aguero didn't warm up with the rest of the subs. Looks like he has taken the huff

  15. The Royal Robin
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 22 days ago

    (C) Chicharito next week looks tasty.

    1. The Royal Robin
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 22 days ago

      Well, next GW.

    2. Atimis
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 22 days ago

      I will go this way!

  16. andy85wsm

    • 16 Years

    Imagine not playing Daniels in this plum fixture

    1. Witty Pun: Not good at this…
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 22 days ago

      Heh.

    2. Nanoelektronicar
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 22 days ago

      You sold him right?

      1. andy85wsm
        • Has Moderation Rights
        • 16 Years
        9 years, 22 days ago

        Nope, played him

        1. Nanoelektronicar
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 11 Years
          9 years, 22 days ago

          The second transfer was then...?

    3. Oven Glover
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 22 days ago

      A bloke in my ML captained Kun and benched Daniels. He'll be hoping Kun stays on the bench.

    4. Point-one short
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 22 days ago

      1st on bench. Chances of ritchie or mounier having a last minhte niggle?!

    5. Fred54
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 22 days ago

      Same, benched.

      Playing Zanka and Bertrand seems an atrocious decision now.

  17. Adriano
    • 14 Years
    9 years, 22 days ago

    Why waste a player of KDBs caliber in this role...

    1. Tommy Tynans Left Shin Pad
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 22 days ago

      Bets coach in the world apparently.....

    2. Make United Great Again
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 22 days ago

      Agreed.

    3. LǝgleSs e|even
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 22 days ago

      Why bench Aguero?

  18. Revival
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    9 years, 22 days ago

    Any deeper any KDB be playing centerback

    1. LǝgleSs e|even
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 22 days ago

      Pep wants him to mimick Alonso

  19. Kryten
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 22 days ago

    I have two of the city centre backs in kompany and kdb

  20. Syd.
    • 17 Years
    9 years, 22 days ago

    Ake is having a complete nightmare

  21. Sebbo29
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 22 days ago

    Get Ake off. He is horrible

  22. Rainer
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 22 days ago

    Bernardo pass back

  23. Cajunfit
    • 13 Years
    9 years, 22 days ago

    No point in feeling bad about selling Jesus earlier. Pep sat him a half last week, now he sits Aguero.

  24. Sailboats
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 22 days ago

    Is KDB playing DEEP or what? Please tell us more, we need to know!!

    *sarcasm*

  25. tm245

    Belgium have a wealth of talent at CB - they could really do well next summer.

    1. Kolarov Fpl Legend
      • 12 Years

      Nice one

  26. lf
    • 12 Years

    Holy, Moly. KDB as CB. Pep s****
    Going to sell him asap

  27. DeathoftheParty
    • 10 Years

    City bang average...

  28. Guy Demel
    • 13 Years
    9 years, 22 days ago

    KDBs heatmap less advanced than Edersons here.

  29. Dr. Rog
    • 17 Years
    9 years, 22 days ago

    really hoping as an Arsenal fan that the Aguero benching leads to a sanchez aguero swap deal

    1. SAY MY NAME
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 22 days ago

      think that would be pefect for us Gooners

  30. Manbatius
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 22 days ago

    So annoying watching Danilo in this, knowing the second Walker is back...
