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.

    Feel like we could be in for an epic title race between city and the scousers this season.

    1. Totti
      6 years, 1 month ago

      chelsea will be in this race 🙂
      wait

      1. diabydoesgallas
        6 years, 1 month ago

        I bloody hope so! These two look to be the finished article right now though. Feel like frank will need a few months to get it going

  2. Whats the Huth
    6 years, 1 month ago

    Is Marçal injury bad?

    1. George Agdgdgwngo
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Wait for news, but I suspect so

  3. puhd
    6 years, 1 month ago

    How is Folden looking?
    And Sterling?

    Thanks lads

    1. diabydoesgallas
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Both looking electric

    2. George Agdgdgwngo
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Foden / kdb / sterling all looking great

    3. puhd
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Thanks lads. Fodens gametime a bit of a worry though. Pep roulette and all

  4. dunas_dog

    6 years, 1 month ago

    Anyone on WC with Werner and planning to keep- sell and buy back tomorrow. At - 100.4 on fpl stats so fall in price v likely- same with Havertz

    1. diabydoesgallas
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Good man

    2. HNI
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Werner yes. He is must for me. Hungry and close every match and best captain opyion vs WBA. Havertz is silky with the ball but lacks aggression and drive. PLus his work rate is horrible compared to Werner

      1. ilikewud
        6 years, 1 month ago

        neat

    3. HNI
      6 years, 1 month ago

      I am doiing same with Bamford. Will probably get one more 0.1mn from him and that extra 0.1mn will help. Also looking at Castagne but dont think he will rise twice

  5. Van der Faart
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    6 years, 1 month ago

    Auba, ASM and Wilson to KDB, Foden and Mitro? Only -4. Yes or no?

    1. Don Kloppeone
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Just the first 2 for free?

      1. Van der Faart
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        6 years, 1 month ago

        Short .5. Other option would be to downgrade TAA to Robbo/Adams to fodder and save the cash for following week.

  6. Agger
    6 years, 1 month ago

    Kevin De Bruyne’s first half vs. Wolves by numbers:

    19 final third passes [most]
    6 ball recoveries [most]
    3 shots on target [most]
    2 tackles won
    1 penalty won
    1 goal

    Back at it

    1. puhd
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Wow

  7. Don Kloppeone
    6 years, 1 month ago

    What do you think of this -4?

    Auba, ASM > KDB, Foden (-4)

    Would give me:

    0.5itb
    McCarthy
    TAA, Davies, KWP, Taylor
    Salah, KDB, Rodriguez, Foden
    Werner, Martial
    (Steer) (Soucek, Mitchell, Brewster)

    What do you reckon?

    1. Eastman
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Yes that’s what I’m considering

      1. Don Kloppeone
        6 years, 1 month ago

        Cheers. The only thing is my defence is pants so it’s hard for me to do nothing with it!

        1. Eastman
          6 years, 1 month ago

          Defence will be ok for a week or two in my opinion. Mine is similar

          1. Don Kloppeone
            6 years, 1 month ago

            Prob right. I’m just fed up with 1 and 2pters for them!

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

      I'm also considering those two transfers. Fodens game time would concern me though.

      1. Don Kloppeone
        6 years, 1 month ago

        As long as you have a bench of some kind it wouldn’t be too bad I think

        1. Sloane426
          6 years, 1 month ago

          He comes on for 1 point if he doesn’t start. That’s the issue

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

          I have Burke so considering starting him at home to Leeds and sort out ASM next week. It would mean a price drop though so not sure it's worth the -4

          1. Eastman
            6 years, 1 month ago

            I suppose for an extra .6 you can get a regular starter like Zaha. Not really sure what to

  8. Bullet Eder
    6 years, 1 month ago

    Is it more dangerous to go with no Chelsea against WBA or no City against Leicester?

    1. Qaiss
      6 years, 1 month ago

      It’s essential to own Man City attack but that’s just my opinion

    2. FeverPitch
      6 years, 1 month ago

      City. Definitely not a given that Chelsea will beat wba imo. I’d rather bet on city goals

  9. Champions League Varane
    6 years, 1 month ago

    Greenwood or JRod?

    Considering Mason..

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

      Why are you considering Greenwood? United look awful. Everton look great. Hot Rod on set pieces, probably penalties and has two of the best headers of the ball to get on the end of his deliveries.

      It's not close imo.

      1. HNI
        6 years, 1 month ago

        What you think is better? 1) Foden + Mitrovic or 2) Podence + DCL?

    2. Fpl_Juggernaut
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Remove your manure goggles and check again.. You will get your obvious answer

      1. George Agdgdgwngo
        6 years, 1 month ago

        Eh?

  10. Says
    6 years, 1 month ago

    Nobody:

    Carragher: The Broin

    1. Weak Become Heros
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Lol

  11. rilo
    6 years, 1 month ago

    Hmm maybe Sterling + KDB on wildcard 😀

  12. Rainer
    6 years, 1 month ago

    It’s time for no Liverpool attack.

    1. Champions League Varane
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Lmao

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

      Lol

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

    WC

    Martinez - Steer
    TAA - VVD - Saiss - Lamptey - (Mitchell)
    Salah - KDB - Sterling - Foden - (Anguissa)
    DCL - Wood - 4.5

    1. Champions League Varane
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Love it

    2. Qaiss
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Basically everyone who got points this week?

    3. diabydoesgallas
      6 years, 1 month ago

      No way you can come out of a wildcard with a strike force of Calvert lewin and Chris wood

      1. MSTRKRFTSMN
        6 years, 1 month ago

        Lol

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

        And Salah. And KDB. And Sterling.

    4. A19
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Considering something very similar myself. I think it's a very good option. Sterling could easily be downgraded to a Manu or Chelsea mid when they start firing. Heavily dependent on Liverpool and City but they are the two best teams in the league!

    5. stat sifter 888888
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Go for it lol.

    6. Lilac Breasted Roller
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Mitchell probably a no starter as of GW 4

    7. Don Kloppeone
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Rather over reliant on a certain two teams But it could be gold!

    8. George Agdgdgwngo
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Can you downgrade vvd saiss to 4.5 and vinny. To upgrade wood to jimi?

    9. Piggs Boson
      6 years, 1 month ago

      ffs...

  14. Nightcrawler
    6 years, 1 month ago

    Mart

    Digne saiss justin lewis mitchell

    Sterling kdb salah james 4.5

    Ings dcl bamford

    With a few tweaks i can get this. The obvious drawback is no TAA or Son

  15. Babelcopter
    6 years, 1 month ago

    Auba & ASM -> KDB & Foden.. I'm not convinced about that Podence lad.

    1. Don Kloppeone
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Pondering exactly the same move right now

  16. Gazza2000
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    6 years, 1 month ago

    Just realised I can get Foden in for Soucek for -4

    1. H-SF
      6 years, 1 month ago

      same and I may do it

      1. Gazza2000
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        6 years, 1 month ago

        Tempting isn’t it...

    2. Don Kloppeone
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Same. It’s either for Soucek and bench ASM or dump ASM and bench Soucek

  17. MoSalalalalalalalalah
    6 years, 1 month ago

    Think this is pretty solid. Any help is appreciated, thanks fellas!

    WC
    0.7 ITB

    Martinez | Steer
    TAA | James | Saiss | Lamptey | Mitchell
    Salah | KDB | Son | Foden | Anguissa
    DCL | Werner | Brewster

    1. Rhodes your boat
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Like it yeah but would want jimi in there too!

      1. MoSalalalalalalalalah
        6 years, 1 month ago

        Thanks man, not sure who'd I'd get rid of between DCL and Werner though

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

    Anyone wc'ing to get Foden in clearly didn't own him during restart.

    1. @persecuted_by_mods
      6 years, 1 month ago

      That's what people said about DCL

    2. Don Kloppeone
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Dilva no longer in the picture now and when Foden does well, Pep seems to take notice and hopefully plays him more.

  19. LǝgleSs e|even
    6 years, 1 month ago

    Best replacement for Egan pls.. fml !

    1. Weak Become Heros
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      Saiss.

  20. Flair

    Need to hack FPL towers and enable quadruple City

  21. Boomerang V
    6 years, 1 month ago

    How did Podence played? Promissing?

    1. Gobigorgohome
      6 years, 1 month ago

      meh

    2. Pep Roulette
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Playing very further up the pitch. But nothing special from Wolves so far!

    3. Vamos Los Celeste
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Average

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

      Difficult game to judge him on really

    5. Wrong Captain Choice - Ag i…
      6 years, 1 month ago

      I am listening to Wolves FC audio - saying Podence and Jimenez isolated.

  22. andrinho
    6 years, 1 month ago

    Is Auba->KDB worth a 4 point hit?

    1. Vamos Los Celeste
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Yes i think.

  23. FPL Scoop
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    6 years, 1 month ago

    A) Foden Taylor 0 ITB
    B) Klich Justin 0.8 ITB (enough for Jim to Martial if needed)

  24. Egg noodle
    6 years, 1 month ago

    Anyone watching, could you give a short summary of the game so far please? Thanks.

    1. stat sifter 888888
      6 years, 1 month ago

      You don't have a stream? http://sportlemons.net/ Second Man City stream.

      1. Egg noodle
        6 years, 1 month ago

        I just got home mate, just want a report so far.

    2. M2.0
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Phil Foden

    3. THFC4LIFE
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      6 years, 1 month ago

      City are scary, front 4 pressing every ball, more goals to come

      1. Egg noodle
        6 years, 1 month ago

        Cheers mate

    4. Brehmeren
      6 years, 1 month ago

      lol

    5. diabydoesgallas
      6 years, 1 month ago

      City playing keep ball and cutting wolves apart at will. Men against boys. Wolves 32% possession and no shots on target

      1. Egg noodle
        6 years, 1 month ago

        Thanks all. Will hide behind the sofa now

  25. Flair
    6 years, 1 month ago

    No defense is secure in these trying times

  26. Drogo
    6 years, 1 month ago

    Best 4.5 defender (except Justin) on the market at the moment? Lamptey was impressive, but he is flagged, Holding , but they play Pool next gw, Webster, White, Ward Dann.. I don't know.

    1. MSTRKRFTSMN
      6 years, 1 month ago

      He was smiling at hen he came off, did the list match interview and didn’t even mention it. Think he just had a bit of a kicking.

      1. MSTRKRFTSMN
        6 years, 1 month ago

        When he came off* post match interview*

    2. Vamos Los Celeste
      6 years, 1 month ago

      C.Taylor

    3. Danstoke82
      6 years, 1 month ago

      I’m going Lamptey. By all accounts he was taken off as a precaution

  27. JBG
    6 years, 1 month ago

    How bad did the Marcal injury look like? Started watching right before the pen so didn't catch the first 15 or so.

  28. Wrong Captain Choice - Ag i…
    6 years, 1 month ago

    I am on 67 after WC. Doesn't sound great compared to some scores.
    But, if I only did a -4 and brought Rashford and J Rod in would have only being 38!
    Would have been a disaster if I did not WC.

    1. stat sifter 888888
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Yeah I got 87 but it would have been very bad if I had not wild-carded. No city players though with one ft so could be painful if I don't get that right.

      1. Wrong Captain Choice - Ag i…
        6 years, 1 month ago

        Well done, my wildcard last year actually cost me about 40 points. I was actually half afraid to WC this time.

    2. Vamos Los Celeste
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Well played.

  29. Pedram
    6 years, 1 month ago

    KDB, Son, Kane, Salah, Werner. so many good captain options next week.

    1. Vamos Los Celeste
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Drop the Spurs options and make a decision.

    2. stat sifter 888888
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Son is not convincing long-term with the amount of options they have there now and Jose's attacking substitutions. Moura, Lamela, Bergwijn and now Bale. World of difference between Newcastle and Southy defences as well.

    3. George Agdgdgwngo
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Kev perma captain

  30. dshv
    6 years, 1 month ago

    Mccarthy
    Taa mitchell davies taylor (justin)
    Salah kdb bruno soucek (asm)
    Werner dcl (davis)

    I am on -4.. wilson do dcl, auba to kdb

    What do you think ?

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

      Could be decent. I’m veering towards WC but you look OK
