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.

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

          • 12 Years

        2. Old Man
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 14 Years
          7 years, 8 months ago

          I did it without seeing any rumours, If I could have been sure of Bilva starting I would not have made the transfer.

    3. GENERATION X

    5. Old Man
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 8 months ago

      Far too soon for that, I'm expecting Bilva to get something.

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

        I'm expecting him to be subbed tbh

      2. All Hail K
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 16 Years
        7 years, 8 months ago

        True. It's not that he's been bad, it's just that bringing the ball up the right side is plan B for City.

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

    Bennett a 5.0 in disguise

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

      This

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

    Sterling and Gundo for Jesus and Sane

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

      *Mahrez

  5. ☈☾
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 8 months ago

    Wolves soooo good

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

    Bennett defending well.

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

      ...questionable distribution!

  7. SharkyJon
    • 14 Years
    7 years, 8 months ago

    I know Mane might go mad but decided due to fixtures he needs to go....so which planned transfers are better?
    OUT Mane & King
    IN
    1) Hazard and Zaha
    2) £7m MID and Aubameyang
    ???

    1. Calvin Valance
      • 16 Years
      7 years, 8 months ago

      Wait!

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

      Wait what?

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

      Form over fixture.

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

        Will probably wait till later in the week unless prices go mad...just feel hazard has form and fix but I love the idea of Aubameyang!

  8. Calvin Valance
    • 16 Years
    7 years, 8 months ago

    Wolves look great here! Helder Costa impressive so far along with Neves. Kompany looks like he should just be playing Sundays

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

    Jimenez bloke looks promising.

  10. ☈☾
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 8 months ago

    Jimenez should've passed that

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

      Wolves building impressive attacks but Helder Costa's first touch is too heavy and unreliable. Caught out more than a few times now.

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

        Reply fail

  11. twoplustwo
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years
    7 years, 8 months ago

    Jiminez looks pretty decent

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

      if that's what you're into, im not going to judge

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

    Wonder what EO of City defence is at the top

    Surely everyone who takes fpl seriously has at least 1, some 2

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

      So those of us with 1... are we really bothered about the CS??

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

      90.1% have Mendy

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

        Only 29% overall

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

    Jimenz Cartel

  14. Dynamic Duos
    • 12 Years
    7 years, 8 months ago

    Costa looks like a really good player at 4.9m.

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

      Had him and switched to Neves to save value..

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

      until Traore comes in

  15. Weak Become Heros
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    Do we have marks wc team?

    1. Weak Become Heros

      Thanks

    Wolves looking like a mid table side. City will be a different beast in the second half though once fresh legs come onto the pitch.

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

      Game is set for Sane

  17. Calvin Valance
    • 16 Years
    7 years, 8 months ago

    Aguero so unlucky hitting the post

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

      It's not unlucky, he should have aimed it inside of the post, then it would have gone in

      1. twoplustwo
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        7 years, 8 months ago

        Thought keeper might have had it anyway

      2. Calvin Valance
        • 16 Years
        7 years, 8 months ago

        True dat, aiming for the post is a bad idea. Blame Guardiola or the surgeon who gave him the new knee.

  18. Calvin Valance
    • 16 Years
    7 years, 8 months ago

    Sterling unlucky saved onto the post, didn't know he had that in his locker

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

    Mendy's crosses are unreal

    1. Rupert The Horse
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      7 years, 8 months ago

      Exceptional.

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

    Hamer in my team and Pat on the bench.

    Chances of Hamer keeping his spot?

  21. Waynoo
    • 12 Years
    7 years, 8 months ago

    weak from aguero

  22. Make United Great Again
    • 13 Years
    7 years, 8 months ago

    Patricio saves again

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

    Aguero just can't score today

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

    Mendy still feeling it

  25. Rupert The Horse
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    7 years, 8 months ago

    Lovely delivery from Mendy.

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

    Cmon Kun

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

    Aguero having a off day so far

    1. Calvin Valance
      • 16 Years
      7 years, 8 months ago

      Aguero was a bit like this last game. It was that long ball from Ederson that started it off. As an owner, I'm glad he's getting so many shots off.

  28. JustPark
    • 10 Years
    7 years, 8 months ago

    Don't really mind this end goalless draw.

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

    So glad that I didn't take multiple hits to bring in Kun.... Morata will cover him 😉

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

    Hopefully Mané stays quiet today. With the tougher fixtures coming up he will blank and Salah will step up.
