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

  13. FPL Emu
    • 15 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    The missed Bernardo points actually hurt more than the missed Haaland (C) points

    1. Ne0
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Same here. I had Bernardo for the most part in my WC team but switched to Foden last minute.

      1. FPL Emu
        • 15 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        Yeah, for me it was between Bernardo and Zaha (playing Andreas this week). Could hurt

  14. PartyTime
    • 4 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    😆

  15. Freshy
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 15 Years

    11 goals in 7 matches
    Golden Boot locked in at GW 8

    1. Magic Zico
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Insane

    2. chocolove
      • 15 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      GW 8?

  16. diesel001
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    Haaland does sort of destroy Pep's theory about playing better without a proper striker.

  17. Bavarian
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    How many goals will Haaland score this season?

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

      55

    2. diesel001
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      In the PL. 28+

    3. LoneWolf1989
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      47. 38 in PL.

    4. DARE TO BISCAN
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Yes

    5. FPL Emu
      • 15 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      47 total, 35 PL

  18. Michelle Davin
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    I just wrote some friends in a cocky way'15 min and Haaland didnt score'' bam he scores after 16 min.

  19. Saka White Rice
    • 11 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    And all it took was 15 min to confirm that Haaland was a better captain pick than Kane

    1. A. PRISE
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Not exactly but we'll see

      1. Saka White Rice
        • 11 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        Oh we will 200 percent see. If you think Haaland won't score again and Kane will at least match this score you're lying to yourself. Been playing this game for 10 years it's just obvious now.

        1. A. PRISE
          • 5 Years
          3 years, 6 months ago

          I captained Haaland to be honest but I have Kane as well and think he will get a higher score

  20. faux_C

    Sweet Jesus, Man City make football so boring.

    1. LoneWolf1989
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Do they? I’m not a city fan but I do enjoy watching them.

      1. faux_C
        • 13 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        It's not how they play, just the sheer boring inevitability of 90+ point seasons over and over again.

        1. LoneWolf1989
          • 4 Years
          3 years, 6 months ago

          That’s for the other teams to step up and challenge.

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

      With Jesus, they were more exciting!

  21. LoneWolf1989
    • 4 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    Haaland was created in lab, only way to explain how ridiculously talented he is.

    1. keefy59
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      He looks like the type of player I'd create on FIFA

  22. OPTA FPL
    • 14 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    Anyone else captain Kane over Haaland ? How do you feel

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

      My pants are full already and looking for a bigger sofa hahaha

      1. OPTA FPL
        • 14 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        😀

    2. A. PRISE
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      I wouldn't worry, Kane is a good pick

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

      Fine, until a 2nd goal goes in..

    4. DARE TO BISCAN
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Reserving judgement until end of GW. Wouldn't be crowing if it was Kane playing first. Not crying, now.

      If it doesn't work out - not the end of the world. It was a risk worth taking, and might still be.

    Those that left the Cap on Hauland since game week 1 are the real winners?

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

      This question mark thing is really weird. I’ve noticed it since the first lock down started. It’s seems literally everyone has been bitten by this statement with a question mark zombie. I wonder how it came about.

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

    I need a bigger sofa 🙁

    1. A. PRISE
