Sergio Aguero (£11.2m) leads the Manchester City attack for a third Premier League match in a row, much to the delight of his 46 percent ownership.

Only Mohamed Salah (£13.0m) has more backing than the Argentinian ahead of Gameweek 3, and 22 percent of those who voted in our poll are putting the captain armband on him.

Generally speaking there was little to be worried about by Pep Guardiola’s rotation for today’s meeting with Wolves at Molineux.

The popular Benjamin Mendy (£6.3m) keeps his place at left-back after registering four assists in his first two appearances of the season.

In fact there is some excitment for the 11 percent in possession of Bernardo Silva (7.6m) as the Portuguese international will be deployed on the right-wing of a 4-3-3.

Raheem Sterling (£11.0m) earned an expected recall to the side, still backed by just three percent.

The three main options to miss out were Gabriel Jesus (£10.5m), John Stones (£5.5m) and Riyad Mahrez (£8.9m) as they were named only on the bench.

Set piece specialist Rúben Neves (£5.1m) remains the most popular of Wolves’ Fantasy options with none of his colleagues coming close to his 22 percent ownership.

With the suspension of Aaron Wan-Bissaka (£4.1m) and last week’s surprising absence for Lee Peltier (£4.0m), Wolves centre-back Ryan Bennett (£4.0m) remains one of just a few active defensive options from the very cheapest price bracket.

WOLVES XI (3-4-3): Patrício; Boly, Coady, Bennett; Jonny, Neves, Moutinho, Doherty; Jota, Jiménez, Costa.

MANCHESTER CITY XI (4-3-3): Ederson; Mendy, Laporte, Kompany, Walker; Fernandinho, Gündogan, D Silva; Sterling, Aguero, B Silva.

      Where’s that guy who was saying how he wished Gündogan wasn’t at City and how he’d swap him for Neves (supposedly as a City fan)

      Why? Why is it a good idea to post a new article now?

    Why are people so quick to judge when someone benches a 7.5 player? I had to choose from Mkhi, Fraser, Bilva, Richarlison, Salah, Firmino, Aguero and Ings and I benched Bilva.

    People are salty already this weekend.

    1. Desperately Seeking Dusan
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      And you were right. Wish I’d benched Bilva for Zaha.

      It’s easy for some people when they have crap, low value teams even at this stage 😀

      1. SirStevieG
        • 13 Years

        Exactly.

      Could have (and still can) gone either way.
      Fortunately I’m one of those that think everyone should do what they want with their teams.
      Unfortunately, I dislike comments, which only purpose is being smug after something went their way

        You’re on the wrong site! Lot of what in the US are called “Monday morning quarterbacks” on here around the end of the games. Strange they don’t remember the ones they got wrong.

    Does Richarlison have a chance for a reduced suspension?
