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. Mysterion
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      Pretty unlucky to not be on 13 points...

  3. Ibralicious
    • 11 Years
    7 years, 7 months ago

    Another day, scoreline could easily read 3-1 to Wolves. Unlucky! If only Jiminez and Jota could brush up their finishing this would've been a blowout.

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

      Solid trolling 1/5 would read again.

    2. Greenbackbøøg…
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      Or if the referee didn't have a complete shocker city would've won..

    3. Licious Lizard
      • 13 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      More likely 3-1 to City tbh

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

    Lol @ the "controversial" goal... How is a handball from offside position "controversial" in the slightest I will never know.

    1. Mortiis
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      Controversial that they got a goal like that

  6. AC Me Rollin
    • 7 Years
    7 years, 7 months ago

    Thank you refs - everybody but man city fans

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

    Jammy points for Wolves

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

    Does Mendy get BAPS for wanting to take the free kick?

  9. SirStevieG
    • 13 Years
    7 years, 7 months ago

    Aguero non-captainer, Mendy owner and Bilva bencher.

    How should I feel?

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

      Nothing gained but nothing lost really.

    2. Gregor
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 16 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      Pretty good that.

    3. Greenbackbøøg…
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      Bad for benching a 7.5 million player

    4. diesel001
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      Happy

    5. KLOPPTOMANIA

      Solid/bit meh. No disaster

      1. KLOPPTOMANIA
        • 16 Years
        7 years, 7 months ago

        Same here but Bilva get-ridder for Mkhi

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

      Take it. 6 points from 2.

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

      really?

  10. Dr Van Nostrand
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    7 years, 7 months ago

    City robbed today but doubt many are complaining

  11. Big Sam Time
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 7 months ago

    The curse of the early kick off, thank god i captained salah and not aguero.

  12. Dickie1898
    • 11 Years
    7 years, 7 months ago

    Never realised how poor the wolves atmosphere is.

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

      early game

    2. Patio Kev
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      Have you ever actually been to watch a game at Wolves ?

      I have many times. Fantastic stadium and supporters.

      1. Dickie1898
        • 11 Years
        7 years, 7 months ago

        Seriously? Getting a result against the champions and still quiet as anything.

        1. Old Wulfrunian
          • 9 Years
          7 years, 7 months ago

          What are you talking about mate?

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

    Mendy 2baps woop woop

  14. MTPockets
      7 years, 7 months ago

      Replays and commentary noted the offside for Boly's goal, so should be a Doherty assist?

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

        Should, never expect the obvious with FPL.

      2. Dr Van Nostrand
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        7 years, 7 months ago

        Yep shambolic officiating and fantasy football judging too

        1. MTPockets
            7 years, 7 months ago

            I'm biased as have him (benched), but decisions getting weird if they ignore that.

        2. Revival
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 13 Years
          7 years, 7 months ago

          Yeah, offside as he gets a touch

      3. Freshy
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 15 Years
        7 years, 7 months ago

        Saving my 100 pointer for next week

      4. Revival
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        7 years, 7 months ago

        Cheer up, Mendy still has the 3pm kickoff to come

      5. RiskyBusiness
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 7 months ago

        Was reminiscing earlier about the chelsea DGW to start 2012/2013 season, the hazard assists, the ivanovic points, and the lukaku disappointment

      6. ★Kuntheman★
        • 10 Years
        7 years, 7 months ago

        Very unlucky. Especially as an Aguero(c)...

        1. jia you
          • 9 Years
          7 years, 7 months ago

          We were very unlucky to blank there! He still looks great for the armband v NEW next week!

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

            Already on him

            1. KLOPPTOMANIA
              • 16 Years
              7 years, 7 months ago

              Even after playing 90, owner here and not sure of a start

              1. Pep says
                • 10 Years
                7 years, 7 months ago

                Awh jeez not this again. International break after next weekend, what's he being rested for?

                1. KLOPPTOMANIA
                  • 16 Years
                  7 years, 7 months ago

                  Sorry Pep

                • 16 Years
                7 years, 7 months ago

                Started all 15 of the last FPL home games for which he has been available

        2. le flem
          • 12 Years
          7 years, 7 months ago

          Superb record against Newcastle. Definitely captain!

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

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

        Subs: Hamer, Kamara, Jota, WanB

        Next move mates?
        Maybe De Gea Jota to Ederson Pedro for -4?

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

          Sounds like decent moves, maybe mkhi instead if funds allow?

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

            Yeah I prefer him but funds not enough :/

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

              Tbf if pedro keeps his place then he'll surely score well with the upcoming fixtures

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

                If hes nailed he maybe even better than Mikhi, hope he is 🙂

      8. BON
        • 13 Years
        7 years, 7 months ago

        Firmino > Agüero (-4) not looking so clever now

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

          You should've known better tbh

        2. TerryVenables
          • 9 Years
          7 years, 7 months ago

          That’s a shocking transfer.

      9. Hooky
        • 11 Years
        7 years, 7 months ago

        Does Mendy get minus baps for being rinsed twice by Traore?

      10. The Tinkerman
        • 10 Years
        7 years, 7 months ago

        City seriously unlucky there... triple woodwork and conceding an offside handball goal

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

          Not to mention the Dilva penalty that wasn’t given.

      11. jia you
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 7 months ago

        Hit the woodwork twice, could have had another hattie on another day! Unlucky Kun cappers!

      12. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
        • 15 Years
        7 years, 7 months ago

        Have a feeling this is going to be a low scoring week

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

          Unless Salah scores a hatty against Brighton, everyone will automatically have over 40 pts

        2. diesel001
          • 9 Years
          7 years, 7 months ago

          Suits me. I didn't WC

        1. AIRMILES
          • 14 Years
          7 years, 7 months ago

          imagine it's low - this was not the week to captain him

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

        Scenes if Mendy claims the 3 baps

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

          Hope he does.

            • 11 Years
            7 years, 7 months ago

            Pretty sure all owners think that too.

      16. The Tinkerman
        • 10 Years
        7 years, 7 months ago

        Hopefully that fires up Liverpool to take top of the league.

      17. VanDijksToWatchOutFor
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 7 months ago

        Well in, mahrez. Looks like I'll get eleven out after all!
