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.

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

    G-Whizz great work with the lineup, many thanks.

    Any chance of doing them with surname only?

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

      In future weeks - with first names it’s all a bit of a muddle 😀

      1. RoysCallerAnne

    Austin dropped - so Ings really is the main man up front.

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

      Unfortunately Long starts. But so do Amartey and Morgan 😆

  16. ☈☾

  20. The Chosen One...
    • 13 Years

    3. Salahbrate
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 8 months ago

      No. Just no. Worst FPL player this season you can get.

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

        I’d say Jota takes that one.

    4. Lone Wolf FPL
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 8 months ago

      ofc

    5. Botman and Robben

    • 10 Years
    7 years, 8 months ago

    Carlos Sanchez to man mark Mkhi out of the game and stop Auba in the process.

    You never know.

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

      Naah, Auba will score. Book it.

  22. billysupertramp

    Template is falling.

    1. Podge
      • 15 Years

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

      Lol just because city are? Surely even casuals have city players....

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

      Because Mendy only gets 4 points and Aguero blanks?

      Hmmm...

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

  24. Forza Papac
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years

    1. George James
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 8 months ago

      1. Forza Papac
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        7 years, 8 months ago

  25. Siggy in the Middle
    • 10 Years
    7 years, 8 months ago

    Aguero -4 fail. Suppose Tosun will get a haul now to really rub it in.

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

      Nah over the next 5 weeks it will have paid off.

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

    odds of Mendy getting all baps?

    1. Licious Lizard
      • 13 Years
      7 years, 8 months ago

      Not likely with this score

    2. Forza Papac
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 8 months ago

      Slim. Needs to create another goalscoring opportunity to stand a chance

  27. Robson-Canoe
    • 10 Years
    7 years, 8 months ago

    Agüero price drop incoming? Especially if Auba/Kane score this weekend.

    1. George James
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 8 months ago

      at home to newcastle next. Doubt it

    2. Siggy in the Middle
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 8 months ago

    3. Point-one short
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 8 months ago
