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.

    Not only are Man City players a huge rotation threat, but there’s not a single player that would tempt me if they were guaranteed to play 90 minutes every game.

    1. Leeds2116
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 22 days ago

      Silva... i think he is worth it.

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

      Well i'm stuck with Kompany, and Ake is more pressing to offload now. Stuck with him until wildcard. Can hardly bench the lad.

    3. Bellerinmondo

      er, jesus and aguero if nailed

    KDB is like a porn stars fanny. Deep and expensive.

  4. Leeds2116
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 22 days ago

  5. Cocky Spaniel Alves
    • 14 Years
    9 years, 22 days ago

    Right. Already got KDB in my team but I think I'm gonna buy him again just to be sure.

    Think he's a right bargain!

    Daniels' goal certifies that when push comes to shove, this game is a lottery.

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

      That goal wasn't a lottery lad.

      1. JJCF_96
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 22 days ago

        Just so salty I took him out 🙁

    2. George Sillett
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 22 days ago

      Wrong . City always liable to concede.

  7. Bushido
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 22 days ago

    If Kane blanks today, will you be keeping him?

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

      good question

    2. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 22 days ago

      Yes but hoping for a hatty tomorrow

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

        I hope so, I really need the points

    3. Johnny Drama
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 22 days ago

      Yes.

    4. dunas_dog
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years

      He will blank today and yes

    5. Egg noodle
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 22 days ago

      I can bet my life savings that Kane will blank today

      1. LǝgleSs e|even

        Hahaha, that golden boot's comin for ya

        Bookmarked.

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

      Yes. August will be over. + I Have KDB

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

      Sure
      Why sell if you stop playing this game

    8. Jairzinho
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 22 days ago

      It depends on his performance. If he looks threatening tomorrow, I’ll keep.

  8. Johnny Drama
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 22 days ago

    This is so painful to watch

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

    Possible that Pep liked how KDB played after the red on Monday and asked him to do the same again?

    Either way, he's not staying in my team after this.

  10. Fuchs Mane Kante
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 22 days ago

    Fook KGB.

    1. MTPockets
      9 years, 22 days ago

      Quite a grudge.

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

    KDB must shave his head. It works with David Silva

  12. Egg noodle
    • 16 Years
    9 years, 22 days ago

    Jesus substitution time is here

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

    Sterling is not playing good today. There's hope for Kun owners yet...

    1. pundit of punts
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 22 days ago

      I'd rather Kane (vc) kick in.

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

        Of course

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

    I feel your pain, De Bruyne.
    He passed the ball forward and needed to track back. What a shame..

  15. CloudSky
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 22 days ago

    KDB to be 9.7 after IB? Bargain.

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

      The drops just are so slow... No chance i'm afraid.

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

      bargain for DM? Matic is 5.0

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

        Sarcasm.

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

    Hey guys is it just me, or is KDB playing kinda deep?

    1. Reedy
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 22 days ago

      Deeper than a philosophers' convention in a mineshaft

    2. Leeds2116
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 22 days ago

      kinda deep? understatement of the year

    3. Hot Fuzz
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 22 days ago

      thats what i tried to say for 2 weeks... he is bloody deep in this system.... imo doesnt suite him .... come on pep...

  17. F4L
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 22 days ago

    Two observations:

    1 - City should play with wingbacks and ditch Sterling
    2 - Every time KDB gets the ball , he tries to pass to D. Silva

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

      To Mendy who crosses every time

      1. F4L
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 22 days ago

        Mendy would thrive playing as a LWB

    2. KrisMCFC
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 22 days ago

      Sterling has been one of our best players the last few games loool

  18. Bubz
    • 13 Years
    9 years, 22 days ago

    Suppose I could just do Aguero to Jesus.

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

      Could be Jesus benched next week

    2. Bolivian Seaman
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 22 days ago

      Guardiola plays flowing football and jesus fits in with that. It's not that he loves jesus, it's because guardiola wants to be known as a good manager. Jesus will play most games

  19. Andy_Social
    • 14 Years

    KdB is actually sitting 4th in the baps table.

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

      10m sideways passing workhorse

    2. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 22 days ago

      Essential

  20. Jigger & Pony
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    9 years, 22 days ago

    Danilo looked good first half. Does he keep his spot over Walker?

    1. polis
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 22 days ago

      Nope.

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

      I'm thinking that. I've got him and KdB and don't want to take a hit.

  21. amsemp
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 22 days ago

    Completely depressing watching KDB play. Lays the ball off and then immediately tracks back. Pretty sure I saw him filling in at centre back too when Otomendi moved forward with the ball

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

    If KDB can get as deep in bed as on the pitch then he's in the wrong industry

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

    Which is worse,

    A. Kun benched
    B. KDB playing defense

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

      B by a mile (if Kun gets a pitch time for even 15-20 minutes).

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

    KdB to get an assist from a corner/free kick in the second half and end up with 3 bonus points.

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

      He has so many successful passes that he is a BAPS magnet.

    2. Our Man Charlie
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 22 days ago

      This would be lovely

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

      I kept him for this week, but based on this line-up I'll still sell no matter how many points he scores. Pep is playing him at CDM (even fernandinho is futher forward) and was even filling in at CB for a couple of minutes....

  25. Leeds2116
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 22 days ago

    KDB is worthless.

  26. The Royal Robin

    Predictions for goals scored this weekend?

    Lukaku - ?
    Kane - ?

    3. faver

      k-3

    4. SUAREZ_MESSI_COUTINHO

      0
      3

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

        That'd be lovely.

  27. Tinydancer
    • 13 Years
    9 years, 22 days ago

    Ok so KDB is doing nothing in terms of FPL .... but what a game he is having, great to watch

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

      This, he's been sensational. But boy am I glad I got rid 😆

  28. HALFSPACE
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 22 days ago

    City's 2 at the back formation is something.

    Danilo and Mendy essentially full blown wingbacks

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

    KDB playing very well IMO. Controlling the game.

    Surprised though that Pep doesn't swap him and Silva. Old man Silva doesn't have the legs any more so playing deeper would be better for him.

  30. Siggy in the Middle
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 22 days ago

    Jesus to go back to normal price once the inevitable bandwagon develops?

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

      Hope so I held on too. Just didn't seem right going City-less.

    2. joeydordon
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 22 days ago

      Hope so! If he gets another score or 2 defo! I cptd him too so would be extra nice!
