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.

    2. RomeluAndJuliet

      Very rare that City needs a goal to win

  2. Ibralicious

    For all that attacking potential, Mendy's defensive brain is peanuts.

    1. ZeBestee
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      Nothing to do with brains. Just not a good defender.

  3. ☈☾

  11. COLLIN QUANER
    • 9 Years

    Need a goal from both Aguero and Neves. Neves is my first sub and he will come on in place of Peltier who has been rested today.

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

    • 8 Years
    7 years, 7 months ago

    Traore so good, no idea why he doesn't start

    1. Critical Observer
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      Probably cos he's a newcomer being bought by the Wolves only weeks ago.

  20. sambyy

    Mendy is actually awful defensively

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

      the perfect fantasy wing back.

  21. ☈☾
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 7 months ago

    Ngl Mendy sucks defensively

    Will massively get exposed against big teams

    1. moment
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      Not sure he'll necessarily play against the big teams

  22. Duffy Dunk
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 7 months ago

    Lots of mistakes in this match.
    Most of them by city players.

  23. Mic
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 7 months ago

    Until Traore scores or assists he is nothing to me

    1. 50shades of o'shea
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      he lacks end product

      1. Rupert The Horse
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        7 years, 7 months ago

        Ahaha. So dopey

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

    I’d quite like Shane Long to lock down a starting place.

  25. Lord Flashheart
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    7 years, 7 months ago

  26. Skalla
