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.

Paul Is certain he won't make the same mistakes next season. Follow them on Twitter

    Glad I kept Jesus and Daniels (even tho I benched him). Lol at those who sold both.

    1. TheBusDriver
      • 10 Years

    6. Cok3y5murf

      Selling him and benching him have the same result today

    7. Point-one short

      Do you ever say anything positive?

  3. Ricky - it doesn\'t ta…

    de bruyne is playing way too deep for 10m

    1. Lord Flashheart
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      8 years, 5 months ago

      He is playing too deep for 7 million

    2. under the dog
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 5 months ago

      he plays at 5.5m

  4. AnfieldLad
    • 11 Years
    8 years, 5 months ago

    KDB 'playing deep' is an understatement. Kompany passed it back to him a minute ago. He has to go...

  5. FantasyNik123
    • 12 Years
    8 years, 5 months ago

    KDB gets an assist and ends up with 5 points, would you:

    a) Keep in team
    b) Drop

    1. Tommy Tynans Left Shin Pad
      • 14 Years
      8 years, 5 months ago

      Drop

    2. diesel001
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 5 months ago

      Drop

    3. Neevesy
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 5 months ago

      DROP, playing as a Def Mid. 10m too much for that!

    4. Mauricios Cappuccino
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 5 months ago

      Drop.

    5. Les Bleus
      • 14 Years
      8 years, 5 months ago

      Drop even if he scores

    6. Kolarov Fpl Legend
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 5 months ago

      Yea i would, 5 points every 3dh week for 10.5m is great value.

    7. LǝgleSs e|even
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 5 months ago

      Drop, easy swap to Alexis!

    8. CC22
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      8 years, 5 months ago

      Drop. As everyone is saying, it'd be just papering over the cracks. For £10 million he needs to play far further forward.

    Kdb playing cb

  7. Oven Glover
    • 10 Years
    8 years, 5 months ago

    Is it a 3 atb with Kompany KDB Otamendi?

  8. Moves like Dejagah
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 5 months ago

    He's the last man ffs. This is so frustrating.

  9. Royal5
    • 14 Years
    8 years, 5 months ago

    Kdb playing extremely deep here. >:(

  10. Witty Pun: Not good at this…
    • 8 Years
    8 years, 5 months ago

    Logging back on after lunch... Time to find out if anything exciting happened! Maybe a KDB goal? Hopefully no Daniels goal because you know how it is when you bench that kind of player...

    Oh. Lol.

  11. Spartac Mac
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 5 months ago

    KDB on set pieces and corners but Silva is the man with the final pass.

    That's 3 or 4 times now he's fed a player who is in on goal.

    No doubt Silva over KDB for now.

  12. hogree
    • 8 Years
    8 years, 5 months ago

    Thoughts on % Chance TAA will play? Daniels 1st on bench behind him

  13. Differential C (Mark)
    • 10 Years
    8 years, 5 months ago

    KdB , excellent pass to Danilo, good stop by Bego

    1. Gabbiadini
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 5 months ago

      damn got both + Jesus

  14. TheTinman
    • 10 Years
    8 years, 5 months ago

    Bottomed

    I guess it's been mentioned but Aguero didn't warm up with the rest of the subs. Looks like he has taken the huff

  15. The Royal Robin
    • 10 Years
    8 years, 5 months ago

    (C) Chicharito next week looks tasty.

    1. The Royal Robin
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 5 months ago

      Well, next GW.

    2. Atimis
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 5 months ago

      I will go this way!

  16. andy85wsm

    Imagine not playing Daniels in this plum fixture

    1. Witty Pun: Not good at this…
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 5 months ago

      Heh.

    2. Nanoelektronicar
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 5 months ago

      You sold him right?

      1. andy85wsm
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • Has Moderation Rights
        • 15 Years
        8 years, 5 months ago

        Nope, played him

        1. Nanoelektronicar
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 11 Years
          8 years, 5 months ago

          The second transfer was then...?

    3. Oven Glover
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 5 months ago

      A bloke in my ML captained Kun and benched Daniels. He'll be hoping Kun stays on the bench.

    4. Point-one short
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 5 months ago

      1st on bench. Chances of ritchie or mounier having a last minhte niggle?!

    5. Fred54
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 5 months ago

      Same, benched.

      Playing Zanka and Bertrand seems an atrocious decision now.

  17. Adriano
    • 13 Years
    8 years, 5 months ago

    Why waste a player of KDBs caliber in this role...

    1. Tommy Tynans Left Shin Pad
      • 14 Years
      8 years, 5 months ago

      Bets coach in the world apparently.....

    2. Make United Great Again
      • 13 Years
      8 years, 5 months ago

      Agreed.

    3. LǝgleSs e|even
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 5 months ago

      Why bench Aguero?

  18. Revival
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    8 years, 5 months ago

    Any deeper any KDB be playing centerback

    1. LǝgleSs e|even
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 5 months ago

      Pep wants him to mimick Alonso

  19. Kryten
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    8 years, 5 months ago

    I have two of the city centre backs in kompany and kdb

  20. Syd.
    • 16 Years
    8 years, 5 months ago

    Ake is having a complete nightmare

  21. Sebbo29
    • 11 Years
    8 years, 5 months ago

    Get Ake off. He is horrible

  22. Rainer
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 5 months ago

    Bernardo pass back

  23. Cajunfit
    • 12 Years
    8 years, 5 months ago

    No point in feeling bad about selling Jesus earlier. Pep sat him a half last week, now he sits Aguero.

  24. Sailboats
    • 10 Years
    8 years, 5 months ago

    Is KDB playing DEEP or what? Please tell us more, we need to know!!

    *sarcasm*

  25. tm245

    Belgium have a wealth of talent at CB - they could really do well next summer.

    1. Kolarov Fpl Legend
      • 11 Years

      Nice one

  26. lf

    Holy, Moly. KDB as CB. Pep s****
    Going to sell him asap

  27. DeathoftheParty
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 5 months ago

    City bang average...

  28. Guy Demel
    • 12 Years
    8 years, 5 months ago

    KDBs heatmap less advanced than Edersons here.

  29. Dr. Rog
    • 16 Years
    8 years, 5 months ago

    really hoping as an Arsenal fan that the Aguero benching leads to a sanchez aguero swap deal

    1. SAY MY NAME
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 5 months ago

      think that would be pefect for us Gooners

  30. Manbatius
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 5 months ago

    So annoying watching Danilo in this, knowing the second Walker is back...
