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.

    Kompany is terrible

  2. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐

    Wolves looking good

    Was contemplating spending 4 on David Silva. Now KDB is out I think pep will stick with him for the experienced head. Will get him next week I think.

    1. Chenku╰☆╮
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 8 months ago

      I will stay away from him for now.. might be dropping deeper..

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

      Please get back on scoutcast we need someone who thinks outside the box

      1. Granville
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • Has Moderation Rights
        • 16 Years
        7 years, 8 months ago

        Mark thinks outside the box, then as soon as it goes against him jumps back in. An Aguero blank would be funny.

        1. Chenku╰☆╮
          • 11 Years
          7 years, 8 months ago

          An auba and kun blank would be better

    3. Delph & Safety
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 8 months ago

      Be prepared for 65/70 mins subbing though.

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

      He's probably their most important player, and the other player that could lay claim to that is KDB, I reckon he's going to be one of the first names on the team sheet.

    5. Touré De Force
      • 15 Years
      7 years, 8 months ago

      Think he's a snip at that price to be honest

    6. GENERATION X
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 8 months ago

      or just leave mids till kdb is back

  4. #FPLBhuna
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 8 months ago

    Can see vincent being hooked at half time if he isnt sent off before then

  5. Ógie
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    7 years, 8 months ago

    Wolves are being positive and willing to have a go at City here which is nice to see.

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

      Only way to beat them

      1. Chenku╰☆╮
        • 11 Years
        7 years, 8 months ago

        Finally a team taking them on

  6. Sancidino
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 8 months ago

    Wolves are a very good side, glad I didn't captain Aguero

    1. Royal5
      • 14 Years

      13 mins played

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

        Yeah I know, but they were never gonna be hammered like Huddersfield

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

    Wolves playing well here. Showing some neat passing

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

    Benching Jimenez could prove to be my big blunder this week.

  9. Differentiator
    • 10 Years
    7 years, 8 months ago

    City are a joke

  10. Bragazeti
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 8 months ago

    Wolves are really up for the challenge

  11. Touré De Force
    • 15 Years
    7 years, 8 months ago

    Be surprised if Wolves don't score in this game the way they've started

  12. Bolivian Seaman
    • 15 Years
    7 years, 8 months ago

    Sane needs to play in this game

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

    Terrible shot by gundogan

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

      B.Silva should take his place with Sane/Mahrez in an advanced position

    2. Jack Sparrow
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 8 months ago

      Do you ever STFU on match days? Do you not get embarrassed with the amount of inane tripe you post?

      1. Scoring freely
        • 10 Years
        7 years, 8 months ago

        @ Jack Sparrow, Lol, you fell for the fake Bernardo Silva news didn't you?

  14. IRBOX ⚽
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 8 months ago

    Mendy is FPL gold, however, a lot of his defensive decisions are poor. Pep has already aluded to these issues and he may be dropped at some stage this season.

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

      Great for FPL, though.

    2. Skalla
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 8 months ago

      Pep can just him in and play Sane or Delph behind him , problem solved!

      1. IRBOX ⚽
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 8 months ago

        Haha true. His shortcomings as a defender though are clearly evident

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

      Has a defender ever got 200 points before. Hel get close if he plays enough

      1. alastair
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 16 Years
        7 years, 8 months ago

        196 is the record

        1. XabiAlonso
          • 10 Years
          7 years, 8 months ago

          Who was that, bale?

          1. alastair
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 16 Years
            7 years, 8 months ago

            Terry and Lescott

    4. Ross From Friends
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 8 months ago

      You should start writing for The Guardian

      1. IRBOX ⚽
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 8 months ago

        It’s a pertinent observation mate

    5. Rotation's Alter Ego
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 8 months ago

      Can't see him being dropped. Delph wouldn't be mobile enough

    6. Mr Arsenal
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      7 years, 8 months ago

      Sure - and he also will beat Henry’s record for assists in a season.

      1. IRBOX ⚽
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 8 months ago

        Quite possibly!

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

    Should finish that in the far post

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

    Great pass by Mendy and Aguero assist wasted there by Gundo!

  17. Marvin.
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 8 months ago

    Jota could be Deulofeu's brother.

  18. Sasquatch Slayer
    • 10 Years
    7 years, 8 months ago

    Jota looking good now that he has shed the burden of that 0.2 value

  19. Ibralicious
    • 11 Years
    7 years, 8 months ago

    Bennett pick of the 4.0s. Fight me.

    1. XabiAlonso
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 8 months ago

      You look quite big in your picture with messi so il pass

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

        Wise

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

        Its Messi, not a fair scale.

  20. Chucky
    • 12 Years
    7 years, 8 months ago

    Any chance of a Kun YC,RC etc.....

    1. Chenku╰☆╮
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 8 months ago

      As much a chance as you getting banned.

      1. Pumpkinhead - I'm ITK …
        • 16 Years
        7 years, 8 months ago

        Quite high then

  21. Mr Arsenal
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    7 years, 8 months ago

    Kompany won’t finish the game - injury or RC.

    1. Royal5
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 8 months ago

      Subbed before 60

  22. ⚔★Vibudh★⚔
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 8 months ago

    Jota looking good?

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

      Much better than when I had him for the first two GW's

    2. Royal5
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 8 months ago

      No

  23. ☈☾
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 8 months ago

    Gundogan getting many chances, essential

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

    Bilva will be first to be subbed for Mahrez/Sane

  25. Fresh_From_Desh
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 8 months ago

    I have 5 players playing on this game!

  26. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
