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.

    Is it too much to double up KDB + Sterling?
    Thoughts on this lot?
    Martinez
    Justing Robbo Lamptey-
    Kdb Sterling Salah Klich
    CLewin Mitrovic Jimenez

    1. thegaffer82
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Foden & 1 of those would be a lot cheaper. Worth considering anyway...

      1. twisterteo
        6 years, 1 month ago

        Ok but will he play?

  2. ivantys
    6 years, 1 month ago

    wtf jimmy missed a tap in

  3. UnitednationsXI

    The big differnce between my current team (-4) and potential WC team would be:

    A: Werner + Martial + 6m mid (Podence?) (-4)...current team
    B: DCL + Jimmy + Son

    1. _Ninja_
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Save the WC

  4. JamTart
    6 years, 1 month ago

    Best mid up to 5.7 - Kilch, Costa or Podence?

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

      Podence is the best of those.

      1. Rinseboy
        6 years, 1 month ago

        Podence and Foden double up?!

      2. JamTart
        6 years, 1 month ago

        Just worried he gets dropped!

    2. ClassiX
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      Looking at Podence I don't see how he get's dropped. Leeds have a lot of really tricky games coming up .

      1. JamTart
        6 years, 1 month ago

        I know but he does like to rotate up top it seems. Might be worth a punt then sell if dropped

  5. Will J 256

    When is the best time to wildcard in your opinion?

    1. ivantys
      6 years, 1 month ago

      6 or 10

    2. Salah’s Sonnet

      6 years, 1 month ago

      I did it last week , got a green arrow and a better team longterm but in hindsight i would rather wait longer for more data.

      Lesson learned for next year.

    5. Bushwhacker

      After the transfer window closes.

  9. Rolls-Royce

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

      missed 3 chances in a row. Thats justifciation for a benching tbh

  11. Rainer
    6 years, 1 month ago

  12. luk46

  13. Brosstan

  14. Nightcrawler
    6 years, 1 month ago

    Wannabe firmino

  15. Pep Roulette
    6 years, 1 month ago

    Podence damn it

  16. Babelcopter
    6 years, 1 month ago

    ASM -> Podence looks actually very good move.

  17. Flair
    6 years, 1 month ago

    Podence essential

  18. Dog and Fox
    6 years, 1 month ago

    Werner, auba, asm -> Jim, kdb, Podence -4?

  19. Meinhoff
    6 years, 1 month ago

    Podence playing CF. Get in my team

  20. el polako
    6 years, 1 month ago

    As a Jimenez and Podence owner this is painful to watch.

    Need luck in this game.

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

    Podence Justin or Foden Taylor (latter leaves 0 ITB)

  22. Niho992
    6 years, 1 month ago

    Podence is awful. He wont start game in next 10-15 GWs i'm sure.

  23. Flair
    6 years, 1 month ago

    Triple City and Wolves guaranteed

  24. BIind Moth
    6 years, 1 month ago

    Two ways to look at all these Podence chances. He's trash for missing them, or he's getting lots of chances and he's only 5.5m

    1. Flair
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Latter IMO

    2. The 12th Man
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Just a cheaper version of Richarlison.

    3. Volley127
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Need to factor in John Stones too!

  25. Brosstan
    6 years, 1 month ago

    Podence messing up 3 consecutive sitters

  26. have you seen cyan
    6 years, 1 month ago

    come on Jimi!

  27. Alisson WondHaaland
    6 years, 1 month ago

    2 more goals needed to break the gameweek goalcount record apparently. 43 is the number to beat

  28. Baby Face Nelson
    6 years, 1 month ago

    City are luky Podence is a bit on the s... side

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

    Stones is so freaking bad. Podence has got in behind him so often.

  30. Shultan
    6 years, 1 month ago

    I can't settle on a front 3 for my WC
    Werner/Jimi/DCL/Jesus/Bamford/Mitrovic even Ings
    Too much choice

    1. TRIPOS TOPPER
      6 years, 1 month ago

      DCL ings Jimi proven combo
