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.

      Terrible moves in hindsight admittedly

    For anyone not watching the game,De Bruyne is playing extremely deep.He is happy to set back and dictate the play.Very unlikely he will get a goal unless he shoots from long range.Mendy looking very promising!

    Votes..Which is the better news?

    A. Kun benched

      B. At least I get points for B. Kun will come on for a cameo.

    Kdb is deeper than Plato

      Plato's cave analogy is about KDB.

    If anyone played Daniels email me.

    If anyone sold Daniels email me.

    If anyone sold Daniels and is now complaining when they never would have played him anyway, email me.

    1. Witty Pun: Not good at this…
      • 9 Years

      What if I benched him?

    KDB deeper than Barry White's voice. Sorry I'll get my coat.....

  8. Dr. Ante Pavlovic

    Took a hit Daniels to Trippier :/

    1. Leeds2116
      • 9 Years

      lolololol

    2. El-Kloppico
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 22 days ago

      Good move on the long run..
      Trippier can still outscore him this WE itself.

      1. Dr. Ante Pavlovic
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 22 days ago

        Aurier will be a starter, so not good for long run :/

      Same mate!

    4. Beatle

      Spurs signing a new RB. Not a good move mate

  9. FPL.team
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years

    KDB reclassified as a defender next year?

    1. We Will Klopp you
      • 9 Years

      Gk*

    2. Fantasy Gold
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 22 days ago

      So depressing owning him right now

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

        Thankfully I shipped him out after GW1 when I saw him playing DM.

        He will assist the assister more often than not, not good for a 10.0m asset.

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

    KDB so far detached from proceedings that Richard Dawkins is writing a book claiming he never existed

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

      But a radical fringe minority still sacrifice 10% of their budget to him.

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

      Best one so far tbh

    3. The Scholes School
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 22 days ago

      Have a +1 for that reference

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

      "What if I'm wrong about KDB? What if YOU'RE wrong about the Mongolian holding midfielder who lives at the bottom of your garden and assists three times every game without ever getting a yellow card" fumes a pink-faced Dawkins to wild applause.

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

    why waste KDB as a holding mid.. silly old man in charge

    1. Samwise the Brave
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 22 days ago

      Yet people call him genius, then he buys the league

  12. Guy Demel
    • 13 Years

    KDB so deep hes only just made it back to the dressing room.

    1. _figu

      Haha. These are awesome keep 'em coming.

  13. Witty Pun: Not good at this…

    KDB deeper than the non-fans in the back row of the stadium.

  14. Podge
    • 15 Years

    So is KDB on goal kicks ?

    1. _figu

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

    Triggerlips' community team sold Daniels for Trippier. But also did KDB to Eriksen (both for free).

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

      * Daniels to Phil Jones

    2. FlockofSeagulls
      • 9 Years

      What's a triggerlips? Sounds raunchy.

  17. Old Man

    How about KDB in row Z?

  18. james_lebron
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 22 days ago

    KDB to Mane? or is Eriksen just a lock now

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

      I'm going for Mane, just because I have Alli.

    2. Samwise the Brave
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 22 days ago

      I went mane, since I dropped jesus for kane

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

    What's worse, selling Daniels or benching Daniels?

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

      Benching

    2. We Will Klopp you
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 22 days ago

      Neither cause you wouldn't have played him

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

      Benching, they've got ARS next I think

    4. Cok3y5murf
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 22 days ago

      Selling for a hit, like me

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

      Benching.The player you sold him for could still get a clean sheet or score too

    6. Point-one short

  20. Andy_Social

    Pair of KdB 2nd half assists - incoming.

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

      Higher chance that Ederson gets assists than KDB

      Nope

    2. Bucket_

      Unless this GW goes really really well, yup. Or at least seriously considering it.

  24. FALCAO & MOU
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 22 days ago

    For God's sake KdB, live up at least one bit to your 21-assist season. He looks like a ball playing defender of Guardiola's, except that he is playing with our balls.

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

    DeBrexit means DeBrexit

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

    Knowing Pep, he won't change a thing. Probably would say this is the best half they've played all season.

    1. Bubz
      • 13 Years

      He's such a tool

    2. HALFSPACE

      Salty fantasy managers hating on the best manager in the world, unreal

      1. Les Bleus
        • 15 Years

        Best managers? Mate you're having a good laugh there.

        1. HALFSPACE
          • 9 Years

          Oof an Aguero owner/captainer!

            I'm not actually either.

        • 11 Years
        9 years, 22 days ago

        Best manager in the world!?

        Mourinho, Zidane and Ancelotti would like to have a word

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

          Lol Mourinho who? Ancelotti who?

          Zidane is a great tactician but not Pep level yet

          1. Les Bleus
            • 15 Years

            Not sure if trolling

            Lol, all got more cups than the ballhead, ask him to go home with his tactics.

            9 years, 22 days ago

            Pep didn't exactly have it hard. He succeeded with a Barca team that had Messi, Xavi, Iniesta, Ibra etc. He was then brought in to win the CL with Bayern and he failed. Now he's at City and hasn't won any silverware yet. Not calling him a fraud or anything but I don't think he can be called the best in the world.

    What is best strategy for WC in first part od the season?

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

      GW2

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

      when trf window closes, ie before next GW; even better if you can wait until 2nd int break. Depend how your squad is doing, ofc.

      1. emperor90
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 22 days ago

        Thanks. Will see after this GW how I stand.

  28. Richd

    KDB gets to sit on the back seat of the team bus!!

    Aguero in with the luggage

  29. hurrrrr
    • 13 Years
    9 years, 22 days ago

    Is everyone wildcarding this GW?

    KDB almost certain to drop tonight unless he does something this 45 and I'm guessing almost everyone will be like me in not being able to afford a straight swap to Sanchez.

    Makes sense to wildcard this eve to protect yourself against price drops and then adjust your team depending on weekend results/any transfers/international break injuries.

  30. Dynamic Duos
    • 13 Years

    There is alot of hate for KDB, just sell him.

    1. Guy Demel

      You just know he's going to get the winning goal and baps to increase the dilemma.
