Gameweek 8 of Fantasy Premier League (FPL) continues on a quieter-than-usual Saturday afternoon, starting with Wolverhampton Wanderers v Manchester City at 12:30 BST.

Pep Guardiola has made three changes to the City side that beat Borussia Dortmund in the Champions League in midweek.

Bernardo Silva, Phil Foden and Ruben Dias are recalled, with Riyad Mahrez, Ilkay Gundogan and Nathan Ake making way.

Kyle Walker is on the bench after recovering from a minor injury.

City have played three times since Wolves were last in action a fortnight ago.

Bruno Lage oversaw a 1-0 win over Southampton in the hosts’ last match so changes are unsurprisingly kept to a minimum here.

Goncalo Guedes comes in for the injured Sasa Kalajdzic in the one and only enforced alteration.

Former Chelsea striker Diego Costa, signed on a free transfer over the last fortnight, is deemed not match fit enough to be involved today.


GAMEWEEK 8 LINE-UPS

Wolves XI: Sa, Jonny, Collins, Kilman, Ait-Nouri, Nunes, Neves, Moutinho, Neto, Podence.

Subs: B. Traore, Hwang, Sarkic, Mosquera, Semedo, Gomes, Ronan, Bueno, Campbell

Manchester City XI: Ederson, Stones, Akanji, Dias, Cancelo, De Bruyne, Rodri, Foden, Silva, Grealish, Haaland.

Subs: Ortega Moreno, Carson, Walker, Ake, Gundogan, Alvarez, Gomez, Mahrez, Palmer

  14. Nomar

  15. JBG
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    Let it stay like this, no more goals needed.

    1. JBG
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Lol City won't listen it seems.

      1. Rupert The Horse
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        1. JBG
          • 7 Years
          3 years, 6 months ago

          Indeed, out and about with my wife, kinda bored.

          1. Rupert The Horse
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 13 Years
            3 years, 6 months ago

            Ha. I’m sat next to mine. Living the dream bro. Fist bump.

            1. JBG
              • 7 Years
              3 years, 6 months ago

              Haha yeah.

    2. FPL Daniel
      • 16 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Gundogan needs to score from the bench

      1. JBG
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        As long as Haaland blanks and Kdb does no more, I'm happy.

  16. FPL Daniel
    • 16 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    Already shitting my pants with no Haaland captain and no KDB

    1. Jafooli
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Too much information….

    2. Rupert The Horse
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Wowzer how did that get through.

      1. The Knights Template
        • 12 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        Sphincter

    3. Gizzachance
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Ha, Kane cap for me, have Haaland to ! Switched before deadline, see how that goes

  17. Jafooli
    • 14 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    Man City on the beach….no further goal for 5mins

    1. FPL Daniel
      • 16 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      True

  18. FPL Daniel
    • 16 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    For the record Grealish was in my team for 3 GWs and I would advise against anyone planning to get him in

    1. FPL Daniel
      • 16 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Gundogan was for 4 too, again don’t go near either of them.

      “The coverage” is a myth

      1. Nomar
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 16 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        This applies to Mahrez too.

    2. g40steve
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Kev, Haul & Cancelo all you need

  19. Nomar
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 16 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    Sa looks different. He's shaved his beard off hasn't he?

    1. Nomar
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      No sorry, just my eyes without glasses on

      1. Rupert The Horse
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        That’s a neat trick. Glasses on, beard. Glasses off, no beard.

        1. Nomar
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 16 Years
          3 years, 6 months ago

          Lol by at me and my foolishness!

  20. Freshy
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 15 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    Jonny covering Haaland on corners
    Like that will work

    1. Nomar
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      So far it has..... 🙁

    2. The Mighty Hippo
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      It may work. Haaland might trip over him.

    3. The Mentaculus
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      The shorter the marker, the better the chance of earning a free kick when Haaland goes for head high balls with his giraffe legs...?

  21. Rupert The Horse
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    Went with KDB over Kane in the end. Was quite a nice moment of enlightenment for me. I couldn’t decide which to get, was really annoying me. But then I realised I was more than happy to have Isak over Kane but simply couldn’t think of anyone to have over KDB, so that sorted itself out nicely.

      The week jus started

      1. Nomar
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 16 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        Fantasy haute cuisine?

      2. Rupert The Horse
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        Yep. And I’m happy with my decision. KDB got a return, hopefully Isak will too

        1. tokara
          • 11 Years
          3 years, 6 months ago

          I also went with kdb but need a haaland goal asap pls

          1. Rupert The Horse
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 13 Years
            3 years, 6 months ago

            There you go

    2. Camzy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      I don't know why more people didn't go threemium. It was very affordable this time around with most of us having cheap defenses.

      1. Bubz
        • 12 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        Yeah, thats what I’ve gone for

        1. Camzy
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 15 Years
          3 years, 6 months ago

          Yeah we have very similar teams.

          I went James, Patterson, Almiron vs your Perisic, Bailey, Emerson

          1. Bubz
            • 12 Years
            3 years, 6 months ago

            Im going to get spanked by Haaland by the looks of it though 🙁

            1. Camzy
              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • 15 Years
              3 years, 6 months ago

              Yeah I discussed Haaland vs Kane with a friend. The problem with going Kane is that you have to have two things work for you.

              1. Kane has to haul.
              2. Haaland has to blank.

              I just couldn't see Haaland blanking so even if Kane does well, you don't gain anything and the reverse is a lot more likely to happen. Unless you can smell a Haaland benching I don't think you can take the armband off him in present form.

          2. Thomas Shelby from Birmingh…
            • 6 Years
            3 years, 6 months ago

            Cheers with Almiron! Hopes he gets a double digit haul this GW

      2. Freshy
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 15 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        Could do TAA to Patterson / Jesus to Kane

      3. Rupert The Horse
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        I actually changed my mind in the end Camzy. Thanks for your feedback on my team earlier

      4. Mozumbus
        • 4 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        Haaland KDB and Salah (bench) here. Suffered so far but expecting a decent green arrow this time around.
        I think you mean Kane instead of Salah which would need a hit or two so instead I got rid of TAA for Trippier and got Isak up front.

    3. Freshy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      For me it was KDB for FT / Kane -4 hit

    4. Das Boot
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Went Kane myself. One glimpse at the goals conceded by Leicester this season made me think that Harry could have a field day.

      1. Gizzachance
        • 11 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        Went Kane myself, Leic conceded 16 goals, Kane at home, we’ll that was my thought!
        Knew going against Haaland was always gonna be risky
