Fantasy Premier League’s (FPL) most popular player Bruno Fernandes (£12.1m) starts as Manchester United visit Wolverhampton Wanderers in the final match of Gameweek 3.

For the home team, Bruno Lage sticks with the same XI that featured against Tottenham Hotspur last weekend.

That means another start for Adama Traore (£6.0m), who has taken 10 shots so far this season without scoring.

Long-term injury victims Jonny (£4.5m) and Pedro Neto (£6.5m) remain sidelined, but Willy Boly (£4.9m) and Daniel Podence (£5.5m) have returned as substitutes.

As for Man Utd, Raphael Varane (£5.5m) and Jadon Sancho (£9.3m) both start as Ole Gunnar Solskjaer makes three changes, with Daniel James (£6.0m) returning as Victor Lindelof (£5.0m), Nemanja Matic (£4.5m) and Anthony Martial (£7.8m) drop out.

As a result, Paul Pogba (£7.7m) could revert to a deeper midfield role alongside Fred (£5.0m).

Dean Henderson (£4.9m), Alex Telles (£5.0m), Scott McTominay (£5.5m)  and Marcus Rashford (£9.4m) are all absent, as expected.

Kick-off at Molineux is at 16.30 BST.

GAMEWEEK 3 LINE-UPS

Wolves XI: Sa, Kilman, Coady, Saiss, Semedo, Moutinho, Neves, Marcal, Trincao, Traore, Jimenez

Subs: Gibbs-White, Cundle, Podence, Ait-Nouri, Boly, Silva, Ruddy, Hoever, Dendoncker

Man Utd XI: de Gea, Wan-Bissaka, Varane, Maguire, Shaw, Fred, Pogba, James, Fernandes, Sancho, Greenwood

Subs: Lindelof, Dalot, Matic, Heaton, Martial, Lingard, Cavani, Mata, van de Beek

            I don't think he's bad. I don't think he's the best manager, but he knows his stuff as an FPL content creator. There are far worse sources.

                he literally doesnt tell people what to do he just displays info for them. At no point does he say im qualified to tell you what to do with your team. Listen to his videos he says this is how he interprets what he sees.

                If theres a market out there where people will pay you to talk about what you think about a subject are you telling me you wouldnt cash in on it?

          Why can't he? He's free to hate on who he likes . I am not a fan at all. He has a few nice graphics but he makes an absolute fortune of giving average template advice that you can find anywhere. Average manager making a mint out of the noobs is all that is wrong with the game but he is part reason no one has their own mind no more. They all sold FPL out. No doubt the truth will offend all his little minions but so be it

                You are of course but the manner in which you are expressing your opinion is very aggressively confrontational. Which gives the impression of jess as jealousy and or a vendetta/grudge. Even in your post above you cynically say ‘jealous of what’. I will answer that jealous of someone who is making a living out of fpl. And you wish you had the same drive, courage and work ethic to do the same. A lot of the content is free and you do not have to pay for it. The presenting seems solid the fella is not up himself. He puts the work in. Don’t like it don’t watch simple. I have seen far worse more ‘celebrated’ fpl channels to be honest.

                  You have to watch content to work out what content is worth a bolt. What you're suggesting really is to not level any criticism at anything at all. Which is really silly and counterproductive in an industry based on a competitive game. Andy's podcast is very successful for reasons that aren't his average OR (which is good but not exceptional). He is big enough and successful enough to stand up to criticism that the actual content is pretty much non stop hack advice

    As a Bruno owner, I consider that BruNO teams have, in the majority, come out ahead over this 3 GW period. There will be some who lost out (probably those that have Barnes and transferred out Buendia or Torres before GW3).

    However, if you consider the typical combos that BruNO would have had (a mix of Ings, Torres, Greenwood, Jota, Grealish, Mahrez, Antonio, Benrahma, DCL, Gundogan) then they ought to be ahead.

      I am BruNO and I think so far my choice has been a decent one.

      He is obviously a very good player and it can hurt not owning. But his performance vs Leeds, while annoying, was a big over-achievement. His returns are pretty heavily reliant on pens and pens aren't being given out like they were last season. At 12mil, he is undoubtedly expensive especially when I'm going to captain Salah most weeks.

      The managers that lost out the most are the ones who started with no Bruno but got him in after his GW1 haul.

      It was more of a straight shootout for me. Bruno/Mbuemo vs Son/Greenwood.

      49 vs 31 in base points
      69 vs 34 with captaincy

      If I owned Bruno I’d definitely have captained him in the last two after his hat trick. Going BruNO allowed me to captain Greenwood last GW and Son this GW.

    Probably won’t be getting Benrahma after all, also Torres puts me off due to rotation, while Gray with DCL may be too much - similar with Benrahma and Antonio.

    Hoping Wilson recovers over IB, will monitor before making my moves. Need to ship Barnes as a priority. 0.2m short of Barnes > Torres + Ings > DCL so thinking either:

    A) Barnes > Jota + Ings > Jimi
    B) Barnes > 6.8m mid (Sarr/Benrahma) + Ings > DCL
