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.

    Silva and Danilo in my team. I'll take that...

    Sends Sterling off for the celebration.

    Yellow Cards Aké for a last man challenge when Jesus was through on goal.

    My days.

      My days, too.

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

        A mixture of stupid rules and inconsistent decisions to follow them

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

      He is a terrible referee

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

        Had a mare today overall

    3. Malcolm Tucker for England …
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 22 days ago

      poor decision on Ake.
      Correct decision on Sterling.

      1. Doosra - ☭BowenOfRice☭
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 16 Years
        9 years, 22 days ago

        Disagree. Sterling was just happy. Agree about Aké. Silly challenge.

      2. Somalion
        • 16 Years
        9 years, 22 days ago

        My issue is the selectivity of following the rules. He applies it stringently to Sterling who has scored a last minute winner. Aké takes out Jesus who would be through on goal right in front of him but decides a yellow suffices.

        Either follow them all to the letter or let common sense prevail. Don't bother mix and matching imo.

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

          Exactly. I don't mind the rules being enforced all I want is a bit of consistency.

          Mike Dean is just a god damm feck in awful referee

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

            Yep. Look, refs do a thankless job and I no doubt would have numerous shockers, but on a very basic level, if you want to follow all the rules including the mad ones, do it without exception.

    4. Nascimento
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 22 days ago

      Thought Cook was lucky to stay on too

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

        Kompany barreled into Defoe off the ball when already on a yellow as well.

        1. Doosra - ☭BowenOfRice☭
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 16 Years
          9 years, 22 days ago

          This. What is known in South African Rugby as the one-fingered handoff.

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

            Yes sir, a second yellow all day in any situation imo.

            1. Doosra - ☭BowenOfRice☭
              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • 16 Years
              9 years, 22 days ago

              Also, Defoe has suffered an eye injury in an incident like this before. 🙁

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

                Those can be the real dangerous ones. There's no ball, so even if you argue you only intend to take them down, you know your action is designed to harm him.

    I'm having an absolute Jonty season so far

    1. makaveli123

      How many points in total?

      1. Bubz

        9 years, 22 days ago

        111

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

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

          With Kun(C)

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

      Kun(c)?

      I might be in the same mood when Kane hit a 1pointer in his 3rd match in a row..

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

        Yeah 🙁

    3. Neevesy

    5. Fuchs Mane Kante

      Same.

    6. DantheManinaPan
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 22 days ago

      Having to keep reminding myself that we're 1/19th of the way through the season (+ 1 match) - everything still to play for. I'm a bit concerned though as I tend to be one who starts well then falls away...

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

    Possibly 9 points from Danilo and KDB combined. I'd take that after watching that nightmare performance.

    1. sentz05
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 22 days ago

      How many will KDB get?

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

        3 perhaps.

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

          Points that is. Not Baps

  5. Bruno Bruno!!
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 22 days ago

    after bonus potentially 12 points from 2 not bad

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

      I'm also happy with my 0pts... Avoid the Man City minefield at all costs

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

    Well, this means Kun will start the next match then

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

      Who knows. I wouldn't want to own either Jesus nor Aguero.

    2. MTPockets
      9 years, 22 days ago

      Or Sane

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

    • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    9 years, 22 days ago

    People saying it wasn't a 2nd yellow are right.
    The rules state a yellow if behaviour "may be reasonably considered as controversial insofar as they are likely to
    encourage or incite any form of crowd disorder UNLESS it is for your team and you want to say 'it's not fair aaaaaaaaahh'."

    1. Doosra - ☭BowenOfRice☭
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 22 days ago

      + 42.

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

      If you watch it again he just ran to the side line and it was the fans who got onto the pitch. So basically he got sent off for a pitch invasion

      1. Doosra - ☭BowenOfRice☭
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 16 Years
        9 years, 22 days ago

        Yep.

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

        Not how I saw it. A riot was emerging and he ran right into it. Muppet move.

      3. Malcolm Tucker for England …
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 15 Years
        9 years, 22 days ago

        ......encourage or incite any form of crowd disorder

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

          Aye right... He scored a goal that is where it all went wrong

  13. GE
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 22 days ago

    Kdb -> Mkhi tonight before kdb's price drop or just loose 0.1 or more and be patient throughout the international break?

    1. FISSH
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 22 days ago

      Sell KDB

    2. sentz05
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 22 days ago

      I'm also stressing over this

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

      Sell.. I have already done it

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

        You sold for next GW already after today's matches?
        Riski IMO.
        I want to watch United first.

    4. ⚽️ Dingo ⚽️
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 22 days ago

      I'm trying to decide same thing. Lots can happen in two weeks... Injuries etc...

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

        Yup, could definetely happen.
        I have Alli and Eriksen as well and suddenly one of them picks up injuries and then I should keep Kdb.

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

      Sell

  14. BobB
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 17 Years

    City must surely appeal Sterling

    1. Doosra - ☭BowenOfRice☭
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 22 days ago

      They will. Don't you worry about that.

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

      Not possible.

    3. JJJ
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 22 days ago

      can't appeal yellow cards, only reds right?

      1. @persecuted_by_mods
        9 years, 22 days ago

        What is there to appeal, aren't these the new rules

      2. Clump
        • 11 Years

        Yep.

  15. ★Kuntheman★
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 22 days ago

    If you told me we'd walk out of the first three gws with seven points I would totally take it

    But this is a woeful way to go about it

    1. Badger Badger Mushroom Mush…
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 22 days ago

      We've been tepid to say the least.

      Get rid of 3 at the back please

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

      I thought you looked really good after the Bournemouth goal -- way more fluid and not feeling the pressure. I wonder if Aguero is helping or hurting things, tbh. They stop moving so freely and always look to just him -- so odd.

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

      True, but a lot of changes to the squad and it's a work in progress. City will only get stronger.

      Still iffy as FPL prospects though.

  16. Viper
    • 16 Years

    0 from 0

    Sold Daniels.

    Excellent.

    1. gunnerboy

      Nice

    2. Andy_Social

  18. Hot Fuzz

    besides the referee's funny decision tonight the second half was terrible imo man city are all over the place.. what happened to the city of preseason??

  19. ⚽️ Dingo ⚽️
    • 10 Years

    KDB to Antonio if he does well? Have 2ft so can have a look at rest of gameweek after Hammers.

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

      Like Antonio as well!
      But tempted by Mkhi/Pogba as well?
      What is your mid?

      1. ⚽️ Dingo ⚽️
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 22 days ago

        KDB / Salah / Richie / Mooy / Carroll

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

          Would be tempted to do Kdb and Ritchie -> Mkhi and Antonio 🙂

  20. Drum8888

    Ha the Sun league I'm in gave Otamendi MOTM

  22. The Big Fella
    • 10 Years

    Does this mean that it will be Jesus' turn to sit on the bench next time or what then?

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

      Break first so maybe not

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

      Sterling sent off - don't think so

  23. Badger Badger Mushroom Mush…
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 22 days ago

    KDB > Alli .... locked in!

    1. sentz05
      • 10 Years

      Now or after break?

  24. Konig Luther
    • 13 Years
    9 years, 22 days ago

    "Sterling goal again?"
    "Time to bring Sterling..."

    1. Konig Luther
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 22 days ago

      just hope they don't flag him

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

    This may be a stupid question, but I won't loose KDB's points from this gw even if I transfer him out tonight, before the gw is over, right?

    1. ⚽️ Dingo ⚽️
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 22 days ago

      Wow.

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

      No. His massive haul of points is safe

      1. Johnny Drama
        • 10 Years

        Thx man haha

    3. Agger
      • 10 Years

      -10 points incoming

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

      You're right, it MAY be.

  26. FISSH
    • 13 Years
    9 years, 22 days ago

    Hopefully the BAPS stay the same. Jesus and Silva 3 and 2

  27. F4L

    Its Southampton time 😎

    1. HALFSPACE

      Huddersfield time

  28. ★Kuntheman★
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 22 days ago

    And the great part?

    Two YCs mean you can't appeal the decision, like the Walker one.

    Wtf is this 😆

    1. Malcolm Tucker for England …
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 22 days ago

      well, it was 2 correct yellows.
      If you could appeal it would be frivolous and the ban'd be extended

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

      They wouldn't win the appeal anyway. That was a yellow card. Get over it.

  29. SweeSwee
    • 11 Years

    Loved it when Sterling got sent off.

    1. HALFSPACE

    1. The Road to Turfdom
      • 10 Years

      System does seem to favour Centre Backs, to be fair...
