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.

    • 10 Years
    7 years, 8 months ago

    and that is why Patricio is on my bench! 😀 what a save

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

      Sold him for Hennessey lol

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

        On a WC? Seems a very strange decision to sell him otherwise - he's only had 2 games and the goals conceded have been a bit unlucky.

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

    Funny how the commentators aren’t wetting themselves over that save whereas alisons was pretty standard last gw from that fk lol

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

      I agree they should be creaming in their pants over that

      1. #FPLBhuna
        • 9 Years

        Quite literally

    Outrageous save

  19. diesel001

    Rui Patricio is a class GK. Wolves lucky that Sporting fans are idiots and the players walked out.

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

      Think you got your facts mixed up there, mate

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

          50 fans were idiots, but it’s the club’s fault with all their shenanigans.
          Rui was a beloved player by the fans

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

            Doesn;t matter. Fact is those 'fans' caused Patricio and others to leave the club. Wolves are fortunate because without those incidents no way would Patricio be at Wolves.

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

              Of course it was the last straw for the players leaving, but a) it wasn’t the only reason they left b) it wasn’t representative of the fans and c) the club had been enrolled in multiple scandals and should be held accountable for the atmosphere that lead to the attacks.
              But yeah, Wolves got a crazy deal in getting him

      I'm a Sporting fan, and those people aren't fans, they are criminals. Every single one of us that really supports the club and it's players love Rui Patrício and wish him the best

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

        This

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

    Mendy hardly got out of his half in this game

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

    As a Sporting fan it's great seeing Patrício doing well

    1. _Greg
      • 16 Years
      7 years, 8 months ago

      That save was world class!

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

        He is world class really, just give him time

    Heart attack time if you have double Wolves or City defence

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

      I'm guessing anyone with double wolves defence already in intensive care

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

      Why would you have double Wolves defence...beyond me

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

    Sterling is the only City mid I’d consider

  24. Fpl Richie
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    7 years, 8 months ago

    So we should keep Patricio now? 🙂

    1. Revival
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      7 years, 8 months ago

      Maybe wait until he officially has more than 2 points

  25. Woy_is_back
    • 8 Years

    3. Rash
      • 8 Years

      Might as well have stayed in Manchester so far.

      1. FPL Pillars
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 8 months ago

        always the quiet one that'll score when everyone else is hitting post and crossbar

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

          Hope so
