Adama Traoré (£6.5m) remains in a wing-back role for Wolves as they host Manchester City, his favourite team to face last season.

In two meetings against Pep Guardiola’s men, the FPL midfielder registered three goals, one assist and six bonus – all for a total of 29 points.

That accounted for 22.3% of his 130 points across the whole of last season, no Premier League offering up more Fantasy fuel to Traoré than Manchester City.

He might be fancying his chances once again this time around, as the wing-back will have the chance to double-up with right-winger Daniel Podence (£5.5m) on adventurous left-back Benjamin Mendy (£6.0m).

Pedro Neto (£5.5m) staffs the other side of Wolves’ front-three, joined there by talismanic forward Raúl Jiménez (£8.5m).

With Manchester City losing a number of key personnel to injury, Guardiola’s latest line-up was easier than normal to predict.

Gabriel Jesus (£9.5m) leads the line in the absence of Sergio Aguero (£10.5m) while Phil Foden (£6.5m) and Raheem Sterling (£11.5m) make use of Bernardo Silva‘s (£7.5m) muscle problem to start on the left and right-hand side of the front-three.

Oleksandr Zinchenko (£5.5m) and Joao Cancelo (£5.5m) are out with muscle and foot injuries respectively, hence the start for Mendy, while Aymeric Laporte‘s (£6.0m) red flag means Nathan Aké (£5.5m) makes his Premier League debut next to John Stones (£5.0m).

Owned by 33% of FPL managers worldwide, Kevin De Bruyne (£11.5m) is this game’s most popular asset, as he makes an expected start in central midfield.

With Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang (£12.0m) on the chopping board for many of us, all eyes will be on how the Belgian compares with Sterling tonight.

The last time Manchester City visited Molineux, the Englishman scored twice while De Bruyne failed to match up, mustering just one assist and no goals…

Wolves XI (3-4-3): Patrício; Saïss, Coady, Boly; Marçal, Neves, Moutinho, Traoré; Neto, Jiménez, Podence.

Manchester City XI (4-3-3): Ederson; Mendy, Aké, Stones, Walker; Rodrigo, De Bruyne, Fernandinho; Foden, Jesus, Sterling.

    Egan>Stones?

    1. BobbyV
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Egan to Reece James

    2. A19
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Would go to a Wolves defender. Saiss for goal threat or Coady for the security of start

  2. Dog and Fox
    6 years, 1 month ago

    Semedo set to take Traores place, Traore plays in stead of Neto or Podence?

    1. Scholes Out For Summer
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Semedo Moutinho Neves Marcal
      Traore Jimenez Neto

      1. Pep Roulette
        6 years, 1 month ago

        Podence has been amazing post restart!

    2. Pep Roulette
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Neto imo. Podence & Traore. Neto backup for both!

    3. Third Eye Vision
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Rotation of those 3.

  3. Champions League Varane
    6 years, 1 month ago

    Sorry for in game question.. Wildcard???

    From this:
    McCarthy Steer
    Trent Ayling Justin Taylor KWP
    Bruno Auba Salah ASM Soucek
    DCL Werner Wickham.

    To:
    Martinez Forster
    Trent Zouma (.1 off James) Saiss Justin Dunne
    Sterling Salah Rodriguez Son Greenwood ( if he we don’t get Sancho)
    DCL Wood ( great fixtures) Brewster.

  4. Flair
    6 years, 1 month ago

    KDB, Sterling, Jesus for that GW3-7 run is enticing

    1. Threat Level Midnight
      6 years, 1 month ago

      This would be ballsy Flair. Im going 2 of the 3 for sure

      1. Flair
        6 years, 1 month ago

        Let's see, 2/3 for sure

    2. Pep Roulette
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Triple up?

      1. Flair
        6 years, 1 month ago

        Yeah, they look great

        1. Pep Roulette
          6 years, 1 month ago

          Jesus & one of KDB/Sterling would be amazing!

    3. Magic Zico
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      6 years, 1 month ago

      I am going KDB Jesus on WC

    4. Pompel
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Three from any team is risky - Covid19 still lurking around you know.

      1. Flair
        6 years, 1 month ago

        It's City, I'll take the risk

    5. Bushwhacker
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Jesus has got to show more . . . Raz is playing almost central here at times.

  5. Magic Zico
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    6 years, 1 month ago

    Well, could be two horse race again this year LIV v MCI

    1. @persecuted_by_mods
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Can't see anything but Liverpool, City are basically the same team but now have lost Silva and Sane too

      1. Magic Zico
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        6 years, 1 month ago

        Still time for transfers hopefully

      2. Bushwhacker
        6 years, 1 month ago

        City have a better team and a better squad ; with Laporte fit and no defensive snaffus they're a better team. And I'm a Liverpool supporter. We'll be there or there abouts.

  6. Pedram
    6 years, 1 month ago

    Fraud will bench KDB next week and Sterling will score a hattrick

  7. Scholes Out For Summer
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    6 years, 1 month ago

    Liking the look of Neto

    Stationed on the LW, more unlikely to be affected by the Semedo transfer

    1. Rainer
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Was Podence’s side last game.

  8. KGFC
    6 years, 1 month ago

    City are relentless!!

  9. diesel001
    6 years, 1 month ago

    1. Ginkapo FPL
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Are you suggesting the manager started his best team?

  10. MoSalalalalalalalalah
    6 years, 1 month ago

    Best 4m defender?

    1. BobbyV
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Ferguson long term

  11. Ginkapo FPL
    6 years, 1 month ago

    Time for Buur

  12. Nightcrawler
    6 years, 1 month ago

    Bruno and Podence

    To

    Rodriguez and KDB

    Worth a hit?

    1. A19
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Not for a hit

    2. Hart-ake
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Nah, not Podence out I wouldn't say.

  13. It’s gonna Ben Mee
    6 years, 1 month ago

    ASM > KdB for a second hit?

    Would give me:

    McCarthy
    TAA Saïss Lamptey
    Mo Son KdB JRod Greenwood
    Mitro DCL

    Bench: Holding Davis Justin

    1. Hansel
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    2. A19
      6 years, 1 month ago

  14. Zimo
    6 years, 1 month ago

    Woo! KDB goal puts me above 50 points 😆

  15. Brosstan
    6 years, 1 month ago

    Lol how about this WC team. Penalty FC

    Guaita
    Trent - VVD - Lamptey - Vinagre - Mitchell
    Salah - KDB - Zaha - Klich - Burke
    Ings - Jimenez - Maupay

    1. MoSalalalalalalalalah
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Other Gk?

      1. Brosstan
        6 years, 1 month ago

        Button

        1. MoSalalalalalalalalah
          6 years, 1 month ago

          I like it a lot, maybe not sure on Klich though? Any ITB?

        2. Ser Davos
          6 years, 1 month ago

          Get keepers with penalty saving potential

  16. Yank Revolution
    6 years, 1 month ago

    Jimenez
    or
    DCL

    for the foreseeable future?

    1. Hansel
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Jim

    2. Danstoke82
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Jimenez. Unreal upcoming fixtures

    3. Forza
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      6 years, 1 month ago

      DCL blanked for about 10 games at the end of last season, Jimenez has never blanked 4 times in a row.

      1. Yank Revolution
        6 years, 1 month ago

        Oh I remember, I owned the son of a gun....tempted by Everton seemingly turning a corner tho.

    4. A19
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Jimi

  17. A19
    6 years, 1 month ago

    Thoughts on potential WC team?

    Martinez (Steer)
    TAA Robbo Saiss (Lamptey Ferguson)
    Salah KDB Sterling Klich Soucek
    DCL Mitro (Davis)

    Sterling could easily be downgraded to a ManU or Chelsea mid when they start firing. Davis would become Brewster if the transfer goes through.

    8 changes from current team. Players out: 4.5 def, Rashford, Auba, ASM, Adams and Werner

    1. Salah’s Sonnet
      6 years, 1 month ago

      It’s a bit too dependent on pool and city with little firepower up front

      1. A19
        6 years, 1 month ago

        Thank you for the feedback! Yes maybe. But on the other hand, they are the two best teams in the league by far and budget strikers have proved over the years that they can be good value. Will see... Good luck!

    If only you got fpl points when your player fell over and threw their arms up to protest a free kick /pen.
    Jesus would be essential

    1. Dthinger
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      6 years, 1 month ago

      you should lose points for that

    2. Bushwhacker
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Spot on.

  19. SuperMane Returns
    6 years, 1 month ago

    How's this GW3 Wildcard looking folks?

    Ryan (Steele)
    Trent Justin Taylor (Mitchell, Dallas)
    KDB Mane Son Hamez Pereira
    Jimenez DCL (Brewster)

    Thanks in advance 🙂

    1. Ser Davos

  24. Sterling Malory

    TAA Doherty Saiss
    Salah KDB Podence Soucek
    Vardy Werner Mitro

  27. FFSbet.com
    6 years, 1 month ago

    Thoughts on Foden?
    If Mahrez starts + double pivot he will be benched

    1. George Agdgdgwngo
      6 years, 1 month ago

      He’s not going to start every game. But when he does he’ll be in the points

  28. Dreaming of glory
    6 years, 1 month ago

    Wildcard required? 0 ft and would change those in bold

    Mccarthy - 4.0
    Taa - EGAN - HOLDING - Mitchell - Justin
    AUBA - salah - ZAHA - greenwood - ASM
    WERNER - dcl - VASSILIV

  29. Dr. Ante Pavlovic
    6 years, 1 month ago

    How's this for gw3?

    Ryan
    TAA, Dallas, Struijk (Justin)
