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.

    If KDB was a kitchen appliance he'd be a deep fat frier

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

      lol

    2. The Royal Robin
      • 11 Years

      Lol.

    3. Point-one short

      Agreed: not glamorous, occasionally explodes.

  3. Stats Don\'t Lie

    A rare siting of KDB near opposition box. Wait he was just taking a corner

  4. The Road to Turfdom

    David Silva is such a classy player. Effortless

  5. Lone Wolf FPL
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 22 days ago

    Sorry but we saw last game that KDB plays deep, right? Why so surpriced?

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

      I thought he only played deep when City had 10 men

    2. Revival

      • 14 Years

      City played 2nd half with 10 men do....Watching KDB in this is just horrible

  6. tm245
    • 14 Years
    9 years, 22 days ago

    In real football terms, if City are playing some nice football right now, not sure why Pep needs to be criticized for where KDB is playing -- they might just be a bit related and he might just know what he is doing.

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

      It's obvious he wants a deep player maker there. But it's a waste of his talent long term.

      1. tm245
        • 14 Years
        9 years, 22 days ago

        If nobody else can do that playmaking as well but six of them have the attacking talent, not sure how much of a waste it is.

    2. The Road to Turfdom
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 22 days ago

      Exactly. It's almost like Pep doesn't manage his team with the FFS community's preferences in mind.

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

        So annoying! lol. It does surprise me though, KDB offers so much more around the box. But then I'm not a Champions league winning manager!

  7. Gudjohnsen
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 22 days ago

    What position is De Bruyne playing exactly?

    1. Sim Simma
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 22 days ago

      Quarter Back

    2. Greenbackbøøg…
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 22 days ago

      He's sitting in row a behind City's goal

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

      Gk

    4. Rupert The Horse
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 22 days ago

      Just behind Ederson.

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

      Just behind the goal.

    6. Rover
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 22 days ago

      Something sort of like Milivojevic at Palace

    7. Thinkering like a Boss
      • 9 Years

      at back.. goalkeeper!

    8. Lone Wolf FPL
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 22 days ago

      same as last game

    9. Fred54
      • 11 Years

      In the kitchen.

    10. Numb
      • 11 Years

      Pulling the strings from the middle of the park. Playing very well.

    11. Jafooli
      • 14 Years

      Still in GW2

    12. Andy_Social
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 22 days ago

      Pep doesn't do 'positions' - why are people so slow to get that? Players inter-change; it's total football.

      1. GREEN IS GOOD
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 22 days ago

        It's total b******s.

  8. ★Kuntheman★

    9 years, 22 days ago

    If Aguero was playing over Jesus in this system, he'd be running riot.

    I don't think Jesus vs Aguero is the difference between our team playing well or not, it's playing 4 at the back with proper wing backs.

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

    Baldiola has three of the best no.10s in the world and he plays none of them there.

    1. SUAREZ_MESSI_COUTINHO

      This. You should take his place.

  10. Jafooli

    Aguero vs Ake legs in 2nd half 😎

      Use the Taylor series.

    4. Rupert The Horse
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 22 days ago

      Almost certainty.

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

      They'll delete him from the database.

  12. tm245

    That fan behind Begovic is going to be crispy by the end of the match.

  13. GE

    1. Jazz!
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 22 days ago

      Or because he's playing Bournemouth and you should've expected that

  16. Stats Don\'t Lie

    KDB so deep they wouldn't even find him in a rectal exam...

  17. Numb
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 22 days ago

    Many refs would have stuck to the letter of the law and sent Ake off, which would have finished this game as a contest.

  18. Pirlø's Pen
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 22 days ago

    Get Sterling off he is bloody useless

    1. tisza

      • 11 Years
      9 years, 22 days ago

      FPL gold!! Looks dreadful then gets something out of nothing.
      Wasted a lot of ball against Everton but then scored and all else is forgotten.

  19. Bellerinmondo
    • 12 Years

    Get to HT at 1-1 Bournemouth.

  23. weaver93
    • 15 Years
    9 years, 22 days ago

    Easiest transfers to make..

    KDB - D Silva
    Stephens- Alonso..

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

      KDB - Sanchez is easier I think

  24. Rupert The Horse
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    9 years, 22 days ago

    Ake down.

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

      He's going to stay down by the looks of it

  25. Jafooli
    • 14 Years
    9 years, 22 days ago

    Ake down

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

    Yo mama so deep, she's playing behind KDB

  27. FlockofSeagulls

    Where's KDB playing?

    1. Forza Papac
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 22 days ago

      Just behind Emerson

      1. FlockofSeagulls

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

    Pep has literally destroyed KDB and Kun's appeal.

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

      11.5 million striker on the bench.

  30. Ohhh Shola Ameobi
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 22 days ago

    If KDB passes to Mendy instead of shooting one more time...
