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.

    Who scores more -

    Saiss and Zaha or VVD and Podence?

  2. Coaly
    6 years, 1 month ago

    Podence or Foden for next few weeks?

  3. Silecro
    6 years, 1 month ago

    Kevin dead

  4. ymx
    6 years, 1 month ago

    considering he just scored...Jiminez vs Ings vs DCL???

    1. Bushwhacker
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Jimi every time.

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

      Jimi is Mr Reliable. Never explosive, but always consistent.

  5. BIind Moth
    6 years, 1 month ago

    Vinagre would be too risky with this defence wouldn't it:

    Digne, James, Mitchell & Justin

    Just be boring and go with Taylor as a nailed starter?

  6. Pep Roulette

    Kev down

    1. Pep Roulette

      Kev up lol

  7. Captain_Shirokov
    6 years, 1 month ago

    I know it sounds like knee-jerk central but.....

    Auba/ASM
    to
    KDB/Podence

    for free. Good moves?

    1. FPL Bargain
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Yes. Good. ASM site to a great player with great fixtures

    2. The Senate
      6 years, 1 month ago

      I have planned this since the start of the season. Doing it tonight unless injuries in the next few minutes change the picture...

    3. totaalvoetbal
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Do it, good moves

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

      I'm probably going to do the exact move. I was going to get KDB & Rodriquez, Podence & Jimi next week. But I think I'll skip Rodriguez now.

      1. Captain_Shirokov
        6 years, 1 month ago

        I'll give Rodriguez one more week I think

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

          I was all set to get him in, but Palace, Brighton, Liverpool & Southampton isn't great. West Ham, Fulham, Leeds and Newcastle is much better.

    5. Gizzachance
      6 years, 1 month ago

      same moves for me
      asm a doubt, and worse fixtures

  8. FPL Bargain
    6 years, 1 month ago

    Looks like Havertz is dropping tonight. Do we need to get rid of him. WBA next, Ziech back.

    Great options to replace him with value though Foden, Podence, few 7ms

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

      Ziyech isn't back.

  9. Hattrick Harry
    6 years, 1 month ago

    Kdb out next game , looks bad now

    1. BIind Moth
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Cool imagination

  10. HurriKane
    6 years, 1 month ago

    Worth a hit to get in Podence for ASM?

    Podence- (whu FUL lee NEW CRY)

    ASM- (tot BUR MUN wol EVE)

    1. Under my Cucurella
      6 years, 1 month ago

      I'm considering either a hit or waiting a week. Would be nice to know for sure if ASM starts next week

  11. MoSalalalalalalalalah
    6 years, 1 month ago

    Foden nearly playing a full 90 is a positive sign

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

      Full rest next Premier League match then.

      1. Camzy

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

          I made sure to word my sentence to pee more people off on purpose, don't worry.

      2. MoSalalalalalalalalah
        6 years, 1 month ago

        Probably lol.

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

    Good luck with Podence. You may get 2 goals from him this season

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

      I will take an assist from corners or general play instead.

    2. Mighty Banana

  19. Brosstan
    6 years, 1 month ago

    Shocking game week. Almost down to 2m 🙁 Two red cards and injuries in the same week. Everyone in my team except Kane blanking while every other midfielder or striker hauls

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

      3.5 mil. Cry me a river 😉

    Kdb pace gone with injury, just limping around and surely rested in next game

      Lucky that next game is midweek.

      1. Hattrick Harry

    Top three midfielders you want in your team as of this gameweek....go:

    1)
    2)
    3)

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

      Son, Rodriguez, sterling. already have two of them. Touch me.

    2. FPL Bargain
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Podence
      Barnes
      Foden

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

    By now everyone knows about Pep Roulette and how much the pricey Man City defence hates a CS.

    7,5% ownership for Ake, their defender with highest ownership.

  29. Pedram
    6 years, 1 month ago

    City time wasting against Wolves lol

  30. 9I6
    6 years, 1 month ago

    Rethinking a few players on my WC...

    A) Ryan, James, Saiss, Alzate

    B) Martinez, Lamptey, Justin, Podence

    A would mean I bench Alzate every week, whereas B means I will choose between Bamford & Podence

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

      Rotating always end in tears
