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.

    Benched Daniels (2nd Sub but 1st Def)

    Hoping the new boy at Southampton starts ahead of Stephens!

      You're not getting on Arsenal fan tv, no matter how hard you try.

    Pep Guardiola's career is over

      Too much rotation, too many different types of players and no clear system. Conte showed how to win the league last season with a settled formation and team

  5. Jafooli

    Jammy Daniels keepers.....should've sold him like the rest of us.

    1. Jafooli

    Am I the only one here who Had Daniels and Played him?
    A Lottery

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

      Nice

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

      Nope. I missed the deadline and forgot to bench him ...

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

        Benched Bertrand by mistake, so there could be a sting in the tail yet.

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

      I have him in Telegraph Fantasy Football. Season keeper for me and TFF suits long term picks.

    4. Beatle
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 22 days ago

      Same 🙂

    5. Dimen
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 22 days ago

      I have Daniels and had no wish to sell. This is the exact reason we got him in the first place. Can't believe people trade him out because he missed 2 cleans

  9. fpltactician
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 22 days ago

    I can only hope that Stephens doesnt start

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

    Daniels should retire straight after this match.

    He'll never beat that effort so go out whilst on top my son.

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

      In that case same for Siggy on his Everton debut 😉

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

        Na, can't lose two greats of the game in one hit. 🙂

    2. The Overthinker
      • 9 Years

      Absolute stunner

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

    Got to feel for Daniels sellers, or even benchers.

    1. It’s gonna Ben Mee
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 22 days ago

      Third on my bench and Kun(c). I love FPL!

  12. TheTinman
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 22 days ago

    Bandwagoners getting punished again. Looks like Jesus hat trick on the cards

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

    According to the app, only 176 people transferred Daniels out.

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

      Thousand

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

      That's after the GW deadline

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

      This week right? So Since 11:30

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

    Daniels last on the bench... sigh, will this prevent him dropping in price though?

  15. seanysheep
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 22 days ago

    Even if I had kept Daniels he wud of been on the bench today so yeh goan yersel Charlie

  16. Inverjas
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 22 days ago

    Hit for jesus > aguero, and now daniels on bench good start this week! fml

    1. Wilshere Knowledge
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 22 days ago

      Unless Jesus blanks, Kun stays benched, and you get Daniels.

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

        Hoping Stephens or Kolasanic is benched

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

    Come on Atsu, you can get that common cold to keep you out of the game!

  18. Champione
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 22 days ago

    Kompany, what an awful pick

    1. LIARS POKER
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 22 days ago

      Yep, kicking myself for picking him at the start.

    2. Football Heaven
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 22 days ago

      Got him as well

  19. The Overthinker
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 22 days ago

    Took Daniels out , and he scored 🙂

    Knee jerked

  20. LIARS POKER
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 22 days ago

    Bottomed

    Thinking about doing Kompany, Aguero -> Alonso, Lacazette for -4, madness?

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

    City players don't even know where they're playing. Such bad management from Pep.

  22. TheSteel
    • 14 Years
    9 years, 22 days ago

    Daniels is fixture proof. You should know that by now.

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

      Set and forget. Goals, assists, baps and cleanses come from anywhere.

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

      Agree.

  23. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
    • 16 Years

    Defoe close

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

    Defoe denied

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

    City are playing so bad

    1. Ghost Gooner
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 22 days ago

      They look lethargic. Getting out sprinted and losing duels

  26. Duffy Dunk
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 22 days ago

    I'll sell the hell out of KDB if he keeps playing back there.

  27. _Make
    • 9 Years

    Shambles. Pep out?

  28. Bubz
