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.

    Top 10k EO of City defence: 122%
    Overall EO of City defence: 79%

    Only hurts if you have more than one City defender.

    City triple up fail

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

      Mendy 4 assists so far this season, 40 points from Aguero in one gameweek last weekend, and a goal from Silva, Im not seeing how its a fail.

  10. Adro3

    Mkhitaryan to deliver the goods later then.

    1. LD
      • 8 Years

  11. Sif
    • 13 Years
    7 years, 8 months ago

  12. Bubz
    • 12 Years
    7 years, 8 months ago

    Now that Dilva is back there's too many players that can take Bilva's place

    1. Rainer
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 8 months ago

      As expected.

  13. BRKFCTrueRover

  14. Darth Crooks
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 8 months ago

    If this is Patricio's first cleanie when I benched him... also have Neves sat on there. FPL eh?

  15. ☈☾
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 8 months ago

    1. AriseSirGiggsy
      • 15 Years
      7 years, 8 months ago

      Harsh

    2. twoplustwo
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years

  16. HuttonDressedasLahm
    • 16 Years
    7 years, 8 months ago

    Played Bednarek assuming he wouldn’t play, with Boly 1st sub

    Bednarek cameo incoming

  17. Majestic Chanka
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 8 months ago

    Is Mendy a BAPs machine? 21 without a cleanie!

    1. HuttonDressedasLahm
      • 16 Years
      7 years, 8 months ago

      Yep! Basically a winger. Loads of touches in opponents half

    2. Darth Crooks
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 8 months ago

      Absolutely, it's kind of ridiculous.

    3. LD
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 8 months ago

      Thanks to his attacking ability

  18. BbBb
    • 11 Years
    7 years, 8 months ago

    Kompany terrible today and Otamendi City's best cb last season who hasn't played a minute yet... am I missing something?

    1. More Tragic
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 8 months ago

      a job @ MCFC

    2. Darth Crooks
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 8 months ago

      Hasn't Otamendi been coming back from injury?

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

    Mendy is a bit fuxked in his head.

  20. Differential C (Mark)
    • 10 Years
    7 years, 8 months ago

    Bilva -> Chelsea winger opposite Hazard. Pretty much logical, right?

    1. Rover
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 8 months ago

      If only you could just choose the position, not the player.

  21. HD7
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 8 months ago

    De Gea
    Mendy Robbo Tomkins Alonso
    Salah Richa Hughes Mane
    Zaha Aguero

    Subs: Hamer, Kamara, Jota, WanB

    I see that the 3-5-2 is now a template with Mikhii and Pedro but I got Alonso last week...

    Maybe De Gea Jota to Ederson Pedro for -4?

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

      U still have Jota lol

      1. HD7
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 8 months ago

        Well did King Peltier to Kamara Alonso first... you cant do anything at once 🙂

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

    Aguero more than capable of getting a brace in the last half hour

    1. twoplustwo
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 8 months ago

      Well yeah hopefully!

  23. ☈☾
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 8 months ago

    Hamer should get dropped now

  24. Ibralicious
    • 11 Years
    7 years, 8 months ago

    Wolves running circles around City, such a rare pleasant sighting after so long for a United supporter. 🙂

    1. HuttonDressedasLahm
      • 16 Years
      7 years, 8 months ago

      Unfortunately you still have to watch Utd though

    2. Pep says
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 8 months ago

      ''Pity United can't play more like Wolves'' is more what I'd be thinking as a United supporter tbf

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

    Jota lol

  26. Jafooli
    • 14 Years
    7 years, 8 months ago

    City midfield = total no go zone

    Especially with decent nailed on options elsewhere

  27. Differential C (Mark)
    • 10 Years
    7 years, 8 months ago

    Moutinho gets assist for Boly goal.

  28. Davido989
    • 15 Years
    7 years, 8 months ago

    Wolves All or Nothing is going to be a good watch.
