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.

    City should probably switch to 3-5-2 like against huddersfield.

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

      They do that already in possesion with Fernandinho dropping deeper , can't see him bringing on Stones needing a goal.

    2. My Name Is Pepu
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 8 months ago

      They've been playing 3-5-2 with Walker dropping back as the right centre half at times.

      • 14 Years

  20. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
    • 15 Years

    Pep will make changes

  21. sambyy
    • 15 Years

  22. Dr. Ante Pavlovic
    • 8 Years

      Shoulda done 352

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

      Mendy has only conceded one goal in his last seven games for City , so he is doing ok!

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

    Bilva will be off at half time. But really Kompany, Gundogan and Sterling should be off.

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

      Kompany Gundo Mendy Sterling

  25. IRBOX ⚽

    Would love to be in the sheds to hear Pep roast Mendy

  26. tiger
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    7 years, 8 months ago

    Can see Sane coming on...maybe for Mendy. Will Mendy stay on past the hour

    1. Dr. Ante Pavlovic
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 8 months ago

      He wasn't that bad come on

      1. tiger
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        7 years, 8 months ago

        Who said he was...would be a tactical change.

  27. Hotdogs for Tea
    • 10 Years
    7 years, 8 months ago

    Bilva going off at half time ? 🙂

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

      Probably. Harsh on him though. Gundogan, Kompany, Mendy and Sterling all been worse

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

      No will give him until the 59th min and then swap for Mahrez.

    3. Thunder Warrior
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 8 months ago

      Why would he? Plays 90 easily

      1. Hotdogs for Tea
        • 10 Years
        7 years, 8 months ago

        Well, every one goes off at half time 😉
