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.

    Those of us with 1 city defender;

          • 14 Years

      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      7 years, 8 months ago

      1. Zladan
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 8 months ago

        Able to rejig the team when the season opening template comes apart. GW2 wildcarders changed their teams to the template most were already on.

    Where have all those smug bilva owners from earlier gone?

    1. Desperately Seeking Dusan
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 8 months ago

      I’m here! Benched Zaha for him!

      1. The_Colonel
        • 12 Years
        7 years, 8 months ago

        Ouch. Hopefully Zaha doesn’t punish you too badly

    2. Cok3y5murf
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 8 months ago

      No one else from City scored either

      1. The_Colonel
        • 12 Years
        7 years, 8 months ago

        *yet

  23. Desperately Seeking Dusan
    • 14 Years
    7 years, 8 months ago

    Didn’t one of the scouts (sensibly) have Boly on the bench this morning? The Breakfast Club. FPL General I think.

    1. Fpl Richie
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 8 months ago

      Think it was Joe (aka: Jonty).

    2. TAT
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 8 months ago

      Jonty?

  24. HurriKane
    • 13 Years
    7 years, 8 months ago

    well another double digit scorer on the bench

    van bissaka gw1 and boly gw3

  25. Zladan
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 8 months ago

    So happy to have dodged the Bilva bandwagon. Preferred to save my FT in GW1 and it paid off nicely.

    Derailed bandwagon #1.

    1. George Sillett
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 8 months ago

      Retrospective pat on the back. Poor stuff.

    2. Jack Sparrow
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 8 months ago

      Looking at your team I wouldn't say there is much to gloat about.

      1. Zladan
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 8 months ago

        Are you even looking at my team? Lol

  26. OldBenKenobi
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 8 months ago

    Silva so cool on the ball.
    Looks impossible to tackle him 😆

  27. barracuda
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 8 months ago

    Sloppy City bloody ell

  28. All Hail K
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 16 Years
    7 years, 8 months ago

    Bilva off. I'm going to listen to the fake news from now on.

  29. Locarno
    • 15 Years
    7 years, 8 months ago

    I'll see how Willian plays - seems an ideal replacement for Bilva.

    1. Odikostar
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 8 months ago

      Will be in and out the team with pedro in form and Hazard coming back.

  30. Viper
    • 16 Years
    7 years, 8 months ago

    The only good thing about B. Silva is I don't have to worry about a drop before selling him. Should have taken the hit for Mhki but at least its an easy swap

    1. Manani
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 8 months ago

      yeah me too. He played pretty forward though, but never really looked dangerous
