Dugout Discussion – Bournemouth vs Man City

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.

    Best defender/midfielder combo for 15m?

    1. Lone Wolf
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      Eriksen + Trippier

    2. Respect My Authoritah
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      Eriksen + Bertrand/Trippier

    3. Obi-1 Kenobi-0
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      Get KdB for 10m in your defence and then a 5m midfielder...

    4. Kolarov Fpl Legend
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      Alonso/Antonio maybe...

    5. Lone Wolf
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      Alonso + Pogba would be nice but 0.2 off

    6. It’s gonna Ben Mee
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      Silva and Alonso is 15.1 unfortunately

    KDB is deff out of my team, but will wait till tomorrow.
    Other mids: Mane, Mkhi, Milivoj, Carrol

    A) David Silva (no other City players) & Redmond (instead of Milivojevic)
    B) Eriksen (I have Kane)
    C) Alli
    D) someone else?

    1. Flynny
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      B

    2. 007 [RoboKlopp]

  6. Obi-1 Kenobi-0

    KdB to cost 9.7 by the time GW4 swings around? Thoroughly enjoyed the rhetoric on here this week that selling KdB before playing Bournemouth was "madness".

    1. MrZ
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      The reason kdb is still in my team is i dont want to take another hit after ditch jesus & daniels 🙁

    2. G-Whizz
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 7 Years

      "madness"? I advocated getting rid pronto for Eriksen before his price rose.

  7. Bushido
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 1 month ago

    Which team would you have? Depends on if Kane blanks or not tomorrow.

    Team A with 0.6 million in the bank?
    De Gea - Elliot
    Kolasinac - Trippier - Cedric - Mee - Roseinoir
    Jesse - Richarlison - Brady - Caroll - Alexis Sanchez
    Kane - Lukaku - Javier Hernandez

    Or Team B?
    Forster - Elliot
    Alonso - Hegazi - Britos - Mee - Rosenir
    Sanchez - Ericson - Mahrez - Mooy - Caroll
    Lukaku - Hernandez - Rooney

    1. bojack

      Absolutely pointless.

      1. Bushido
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 1 month ago

        Why, I'll be wildcarding this week. So one of those teams will be what I'll change my team to. So how is it pointless?

        1. bojack
          • 8 Years
          7 years, 1 month ago

          Because there are nine games to go.

          1. Bushido
            • 8 Years
            7 years, 1 month ago

            Just pick one A or B. It's not difficult.

    2. Fpldonny
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      Havent you answered your own question? A if he doesnt blank and B if he does

    There is a Hot Topic on price changes on the same site where people are continuing to spin cliches about price changes. So bizarre, kind of like extra time in that match...

    1. I Member
      • 9 Years

    Adding kbd to my never own list which already has cedric, gabbiadin, moreno, tadicq

    1. Bushido
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      Gabidianni scored last week and Cedric kept a clean sheet in the first gameweek.

      1. Bushido
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 1 month ago

        Tadic also scored

  17. Scheister

    7 years, 1 month ago

    Fantasy league on another platform-
    Can't decide who to drop today, please help:

    A) Pieters -great value, but also have Butland
    B) Yoshida -good fixture
    C) Willian -may lose starting position

  18. Respect My Authoritah
    • 10 Years
    7 years, 1 month ago

    To all those worried about KDB free falling in price, I don't think anyone has dropped more than 0.1 yet in a week. Possible that it might be called at that this season

    1. Respect My Authoritah
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      *capped

    2. I Member
      • 9 Years

      Two weeks to go this time though.

    3. Hot Fuzz
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      sorry but this is not right just last week we got 1 who dropped .2........source fpl statistics 🙂

    4. MrZ
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      I saw someone get 0.3 rise last season, so why not the reverse?

  19. Sánchez
    • 12 Years
    7 years, 1 month ago

    Kompany and Jesus probably 10 from 2. Not sure how to feel with that

    1. Respect My Authoritah
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      Half happy half sad

    2. RÏɠBY
      • 13 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      kompany looked poor/knackered.. not good news for their defense

  20. Trevez
    • 11 Years
    7 years, 1 month ago

    I would like to lodge a formal complaint to fantasy football (EA games). Mr John Stone statistic is showing minutes played 1 where I am pretty sure it was around 30s, I would like my other play Lewis Dunk to take his position
    Kind regards

  21. Pompel
    • 10 Years
    7 years, 1 month ago

    Opted to ship Jesus over KDB, no Mikih, Pogba nor Eriksen - pretty sure I'll be wild carding this GW. Had really hoped to be able to hang in the ropes until second international break, but being left behind on value and points ....

  22. RÏɠBY
