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.

  6. FlockofSeagulls
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 8 months ago

    Had Aguero capt all week and out of fear of numbers changed to Salah a hour ago.

    Head over heart and I feel already I made a mistake.

    1. My Name Is Pepu
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 8 months ago

      Think Brighton are gonna give Liverpool a hard time as opposed to the popular notion here.

      1. Licky
        • 13 Years
        7 years, 8 months ago

        Away from home? Without Dunk?

        1. My Name Is Pepu
          • 9 Years
          7 years, 8 months ago

          I hope not as I own triple Pool as well. Just a feeling it won't be that easy as people are expecting it to be.

          1. Licky
            • 13 Years
            7 years, 8 months ago

            Typical Liverpool making it difficult then. LOL

  9. Ady87
    • 12 Years
    7 years, 8 months ago

    Mahrez get out of my team immediately.

    Only reason he isn’t already out is King/Jota and felt Mahrez might be owed a start today.

    1. My Name Is Pepu
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 8 months ago

      He might start the same week you kick him out of your team 😆

    2. bitm2007

      • 11 Years
      7 years, 8 months ago

      Owed a start.. pep doesn't owe it to anyone..mahrez looked lazy and not up for it..he needs to work a lot harder to get back in..

      1. My Name Is Pepu
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 8 months ago

        This.

        No room for complacency if that Baldie is your manager.

    2. bitm2007
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 8 months ago

      High score from B Silva will put the cat amongst the pigeons for many former owners on here.

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

    4. Podge
      • 15 Years
      7 years, 8 months ago

      6 goals no involvement is all you need to know about him, hopefully he gets an assist so people keep him.

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

    7 years, 8 months ago

    quick poll on who is sadder

    a)trolls trying to mislead others

    b) those not verifying info, falling for it and then being outraged

    answer: both are pathetic

  16. diesel001
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 8 months ago

    Would be funny if Jota scored today after so many got rid of him.

    1. bitm2007
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 8 months ago

      same with B Silva

    2. Old Man
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 8 months ago

      I got rid of Jota, King and Bilva. They could all score. Sofa time.

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

      Would be hard to hold back the "lol @" posts

    4. Fred54
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 8 months ago

      Usually when I play a WC my old team outscores my new one, but given the actual changes I made, I would eat my hat if this happened.

  17. Hooky
    • 11 Years
    7 years, 8 months ago

    Mahrez will be nailed for the first few GW's they said...

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

    2. Ronaldo7
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 8 months ago

      same with Sane at one point too. No world cup, great end to last season etc

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

        No world cup was reason to avoid

    3. Kellz86
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 8 months ago

      Not one person said that.

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

      I remember those saying that here in preseason. Pep doesnt look at price tags, does he?

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

      2. Hooky
        • 11 Years
        7 years, 8 months ago

    7 years, 8 months ago

    Can you imagine if it hadn't been Kompany making that foul on a Wolves player but a Wolves defender on Sterling

    Would've been an immediate YC

  28. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
    • 15 Years
    7 years, 8 months ago

    Kompany yellow

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

    Not even sure if I want Aguero to score or not (owner not captainer at 80k)

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

      1 goal would be fine. Salah hatty

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

    Mo Salah quadruple captain 🙂
