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.

    Commentator made a great point earlier about attacking players gambling on staying onside too much. The extra yard might not be worth it for all the times you're off and would have gotten to the ball anyway.

      so much this. I dont understand why they cheat so much...

      you're 100% faster than the CB just wait a little bit jeez

  2. dshv

    Can somebody score one more goal in that match ?

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

    Why is Jimenez playing RW lol

  4. TomSaints
    6 years, 1 month ago

    KDB should be on 20+ points.

    10x player son is and I should be rewarded for that transfer (still bitter)

    1. TheSteel
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Could still get 3 more goals

  5. Neevesy
    6 years, 1 month ago

    Has there ever been a season with so many attacking options?

    Just need to stick to plans and not panic as you can't have them all.

    1. JerseyD
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Yes, bad year to spend big in defence it seems

  6. TheSteel
    6 years, 1 month ago

    Who do we like for 6.0 midfielder no Leeds?

    1. JerseyD
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Thiago

      1. TheSteel
        6 years, 1 month ago

        Maxed out pool players

    2. Hazz

      Turn on the TV.

      1. TheSteel
        6 years, 1 month ago

        Podance? Worried about Semedo

    3. Wivanee
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Klitch

  7. JerseyD
    6 years, 1 month ago

    (have KDB)

    A) Jesus
    Or
    B) Werner

    1. Ëð
      6 years, 1 month ago

      B

  8. FPL Scoop

    Trent v Robbo on WC?

    Price diff could enable Foden over 5.5

    1. JerseyD
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Trent for me

      Foden will not keep his place

      Thiago could be better value long term

    2. Ëð
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Trent still worth the extra I think

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

      Foden will cause headaches I feel. A 5.5m may be better.

  9. MoSalalalalalalalalah
    6 years, 1 month ago

    Not buying into this Podence hype. He's up against Stones who is meh and his finishing looks poor. His stats back it up as well, 220 appearances and 27 goals in his career.

    1. Karan_G14
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Have a look at Wolves fixtures. He's definitely up against much worse that City.

  10. ivantys
    6 years, 1 month ago

    Pls sub fabio silva in

  11. Ëð
    6 years, 1 month ago

    ASM to Podence or wait until next week and get Foden? (Not enough £ this week)

    1. TheSteel
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Wait if you can

      1. Ëð
        6 years, 1 month ago

        Thanks! Just Auba to KDB this week then

  12. Mackans
    6 years, 1 month ago

    McCarthy
    Trent Shaw Saïss
    Auba Salah Son ASM
    Werner DCL Adams

    Nyland, Justin, Ferguson, Bissouma

    How about Auba, ASM & Shaw ->
    KDB, Foden & Lamptey

  13. Manani
    6 years, 1 month ago

    Foden worth getting?
    thinking getting him (and KDB) on WC

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

      If you can stomach the Pep roulette

    2. Bushwhacker
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Really depends on the rest of the injury list at City . . too many lined up for that spot.

  14. Flair
    6 years, 1 month ago

    Jesus is only clinical when offside ffs

  15. The Train Driver
    6 years, 1 month ago

    Ake hammy...

  16. A19
    6 years, 1 month ago

    On WC

    Robbo -> VVD if it allows Soucek -> Podence for 5th mid? Playing 352 and already own TAA

    1. ThisPostsOnFire
      6 years, 1 month ago

      IMO: Robo is worth far more to you over VVD than Podence over Soucek. Podence isn't key to Wolves as hasn't looked great.

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

      Podence is trash

    3. A19
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Pretty clear responses haha. Thanks guys!

  17. Karan_G14
    6 years, 1 month ago

    Foden & Podence could be bargains!!

    Lots of other options around those price brackets so it's worth taking the risk on them.

    1. FPL Daniel
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Well said Karan

  18. THE Wild Rover
    6 years, 1 month ago

    Might as well give AA33 the Scout Pick Challenge prize now. Nobody is going to beat that! 😯

  19. KAPTAIN KANE SERVES THE PAI…
    6 years, 1 month ago

    Think I prefer the look of Neto to Podence, nobody seems to be mentioning him

  20. Flair
    6 years, 1 month ago

    6 players from Wolves and City is way too little

  21. Right In The Stanchion
    6 years, 1 month ago

    Podence is the Portuguese Obertan.

    I’d be embarrassed having him. Delete your teams lads

  22. dunas_dog

    6 years, 1 month ago

      Klich v Podence
      Mitro Burke v Brewster Foden

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

  23. Pedram
    6 years, 1 month ago

    The way Vinagre has been playing he's going back to the bench

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

    Klich could be good over Podence.

    1. el polako
      6 years, 1 month ago

      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      6 years, 1 month ago
