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.

    David Silva absolutely detests wide players. Must have had a bad experience as a kid.

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

      Probably bullied by a fat kid.

    Mendy's delivery is so ok good.

    1. Differentiator

      1. _Greg

        Was meant to be 'soooo' but my phone decided that can't be correct.

    Patricio got save points yet?

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

      Very easy to check.

    If it's any consolation Kun blanking because I kept C on him while all cash league rivals switched to Salah

    1. Point-one short

      Chin up, not even HT yet

  5. Woy_is_back

    Mendy exposed again

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

      Poor defender generally

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

        And foul throw! That’s under 8 stuff

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

      Generally we didn't get him for his defensive quality.

  7. Our Tiny Windows
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years

    I think Mahrez is gonna have to go

    1. Weak Become Heros
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 8 months ago

      Will come on and score.

    2. Dr. Ante Pavlovic
      • 8 Years

      Gundogan out

  8. fantasyfog

    7 years, 8 months ago

    quick question

    over the season who scores more

    salah and Kante or

    Hazard and micky

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

      Salah and Kante - around 400 points I think.

    2. Sandy Ravage
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 8 months ago

      Good question. Based on current form, I'd have Salah, but assuming Salah doesn't have another mental season, Hazard & Mikhi should score better over the next 35 games.
