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.

        There was a nick on the way to Boly by Moutinho.
        Moutinho got the assist, not Neves who crossed it.

      Well, City voted to delay the introduction of VAR, so they really have nothing to complain about.

  12. Ohhh Shola Ameobi
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 8 months ago

    Surely the assist should be Doherty, and not Moutinho?

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

      Agreed. But FPL Twitter is fast, but not accurate. Wait for the official to update properly when reviewed.

    No VAR in the Premier League is a joke. While from a selfish point of a view as a Liverpool fan it'd be great to see City drop points it'll be a travesty if they lose the game as a result of that decision.

    1. Rupert The Horse

      Nah. Prefer without.

    Buying B. Silva GW 2 hasn't really worked out.

  22. SADIO SANÉ

    the most nailed City defender just scored...

  23. Lord Flashheart

    No Fpl implications

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

      big implications for me, I benched Patricio, so now im relieved

  24. Gabbiadini

    Why if a player goes up do you not get their price rise in your own team, it makes absolutely no sense.

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

      You get half the difference so you need minimum of a 0.2 rise to get any benefit

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

      If he goes up 0.2m, you can sell him for 0.1m profit.

      You only get half the profits, rounded down in the case of an odd number

    3. TOPCAT1960
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 8 months ago

      When it rises 0.2 from your price or after an odd number it does !

    4. In Like Flynn.
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 15 Years
      7 years, 8 months ago

      50% need two rises for you to have .1 in added value in selling price.

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

        why is that the system? Why not get 100% of their price rise? If I own a player and he goes up 0.1 and I want to trade him to a player who has also gone up 0.1 it should be a straight trade!

  25. Skalla

    Gundo to Laporte , the goal everyone wanted!

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

    Doherty will get the assist hopefully

    Looked like a clear touch

    1. ☈☾
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 8 months ago

      Nope

  27. Borisalandoris
    • 8 Years
