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.

    1. Bolivian Seaman

        Me to. He was at number 10 last week.
        Can't trust pep. Especially around champo. Kane is always up top always plays

    What is Kevin De Bruyne's favourite genre of music?

    Deep house

    1. The Road to Turfdom

      Kevin de Bruyne is also playing deep in this match.

      1. Badger Badger Mushroom Mush…

        Is he?

    Attention TFF & SIMS,

    PoP is here.

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

      Are they related?

  7. The Mastermind
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 22 days ago

    Aguero owners - Feeling confident he will run riot in the second half? Tired Ake legs are territory for a brace.

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

      Ake will probably be subbed off at some point

    2. Rupert The Horse
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years

      Clutching.

    3. Syd.
      • 17 Years

      I am expecting a 2 minute cameo with City losing 2-1

      #Pep is clueless

  8. Stats Don\'t Lie

    Name one thing his missus never says to de bruyne?

    Deeper.

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

      Why not?

  9. Net Gains
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 22 days ago

    It actually looks like KDB has only been allowed to play if he agrees not to get within 30 yards of Bournemouth's goal.

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

    Pep to KDB, you play deep, play make like Perlo. But you must not shoot!

  11. MASTER ROSHI

    Sold Daniels and Jesus this week.

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

      You should have kept them. They both scored.

      1. Net Gains
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 22 days ago

        Yeah, you see, I'm not sure he knew that at the time mate

      2. FPL.team
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 22 days ago

        😀

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

    KDB only played deep due to the red card.

    Ignoring the fact he was deep prior to this 😉

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

      KdB only played deep due to the red card.

      That's actually not wrong. Before the card he was deeper.

  13. Nanoelektronicar

    Any chance Stephens gets benched and I get jammy Daniels points :)?

    1. Jason Bourne
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 22 days ago

      Zero chance mate

    2. Begbie.
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 22 days ago

      Possibility.

    3. suddenorgan
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 22 days ago

      Hoedt could start but looks unlikely

  14. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
    • 16 Years
    9 years, 22 days ago

    Just can't fit Jesus in 🙁 although if Kane blanks... that's a tempting transfer

    1. Stats Don\'t Lie
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 22 days ago

      Phone ozil, he always finds a space

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

    KDB so deep, he's gonna quit football and become a world renowned poet known for the depth of his poetry

    1. AC Tomasso
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 22 days ago

      KDB so deep I saw him asking Ederson for spare gloves

    2. Net Gains
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 22 days ago

      Wow you just killed an already poor joke with that ending

  16. tisza
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 22 days ago

    problem is you see FFix commentary and you see KDB attempted assists (got 3) and think he's going to do something.

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

      Out of those three, one was a chip over the defence when everyone else was heading in the opposite direction, one was a completely unexpected pass to Sterling, and the third I don't recall seeing.

      1. Begbie.
        • 12 Years
        9 years, 22 days ago

        Corner to Otamendi.

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

          Ah yes. The very reason why we got him in the first place. Set pieces.

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

    Truly madly deeply

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

    All the City defenders were waiting for KDB to make that clearance.

  19. Ryan Naysmith
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 22 days ago

    Danilo really isn't very good. Hope he gets me some points though.

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

      As a madrid fan, I can confirm this, they were laughing when the bid came in.

  20. Net Gains
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 22 days ago

    KDB's favourite song? (t)rolling in the deep!

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

    Christ, i'd be mortified if i owned KdB to be honest.

  22. The Enlightener
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 22 days ago

    KDB - So deep he put that a** asleep.

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

    KDB plays a pass and immediately runs back. Not even looking to go forward even on the counter.

  24. FlockofSeagulls
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 22 days ago

    Is anyone in the city midfield over 4 feet tall?

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

    Sterling needs to get back onto the bench

    1. ⚔★Vibudh★⚔
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 22 days ago

      This

  26. ⚔★Vibudh★⚔
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 22 days ago

    Would you people sell KDB for a hit?

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

      Yea

    2. SUAREZ_MESSI_COUTINHO
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 22 days ago

      No. Would you?

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

    So far sooo good.

  28. Dynamic Duos
    • 13 Years
    9 years, 22 days ago

    Not bad Silva.

  29. Bellerinmondo
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 22 days ago

    Funnily enough I actually only came on here to ask how deep KDB was playing - most effectively answered question ever

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

    I would,d love to see a heat map for this.
