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

    Stat: Erling Haaland has scored 100 goals in his last 99 games in all competitions since leaving RB Salzburg in January 2020.

    1. Over Midwicket
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Decent

    2. Lingard’s Shin Guards
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      he's a freak

    3. Holmes
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      not bad

    4. Rainer
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Must do better.

    5. El Presidente
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      That's CR7 stats

    6. Futbol Heritage
      • 16 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Decent, but what does he offer other than goals?

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

        Makes a nice cup of Yorkshire tea

      2. Pariße
        • 11 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        Odd interviews and peculiar face expressions. He’s here to become the best of his generation.

  2. You've got red on you.
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    Kane captain here, watching the game through gaps between fingers - behind the sofa.

    Come on Wolves - shut up shop.

    1. Rainer
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      He won't be on much longer.

      1. Berkshire Hafaway-Line
        • 5 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        I love how we don't even have to name him any more.

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

      Same

    3. Holmes
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Dont worry, they are going to rest on pitch now.

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

      Hoping for a wolves goal, to rein Cancelo in

    5. Scapegoat Salah
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      You don’t own Haaland or you mean because you haven’t captained.
      If not don’t worry, Kane Kaptain plus Haaland is optimal this week

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

    What is everyone thinking about Zaha as an option out of the international break?

    1. Rainer
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Essential.

    2. Nate(U)dog(ie)
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Must have with thise fixtures from GW10 for me

    3. Dr. Rog
      • 16 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      great run of fixtures for sure

    4. Futbol Heritage
      • 16 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      On my wildcard.

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

      Pencilled in for GW10

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

      Great value

    7. Kun Tozser
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Only performs when the transfer window is open!

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

      Was my next transfer but heard talk of rail strike threat to GW9

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

      Will wait and see what the talk around his contract situation is. If he signs a new contract with Palace he may go into hibernation mode as his deal is secure.

  4. Firmino
    • 10 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    Haaland's xG 0.07 🙁

    1. Deulofail
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Overperforming. He'll regress and end the game with 0 goals

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

        Own goal incoming?

    2. Hairy Potter
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      I wonder what the stats would have been for the likes of Lineker, Romario and other old goal poachers of the past.

  5. Deulofail
    • 10 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    Lots of replies to comments on this page

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

      Thought I’d better reply- yes it makes a nice change doesn’t it

  6. Saka Punch
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    Not able to watch the game - is Foden looking remotely dangerous?

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

      Always looks a bit chavvy

    2. Il Capitano
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      More Chill Foden than Thrill Foden so far

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

      Dangerous for City’s prospect of scoring the third. He doesn’t look in sync with his teammates’ creative ideas in the second half.

  7. Scapegoat Salah
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    Just seen the goal, how on earth did Sa not save that scuffed shot from outside the box?

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

      Defending wasn’t great was it

      1. Scapegoat Salah
        • 9 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        No true, terrible all around

  8. Scapegoat Salah
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    Haaland still on

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

      Like Donkey Kong!

  9. DRIZ ✅
    • 14 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    Haaland 3 Baps?

    1. Scapegoat Salah
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Probably Cancelo if they don’t concede

    2. Bellerinmondo
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Depends how many he scores

  10. Ajax Hamsterdam
    • 11 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    need something a bit different to get my rank up....maddison and daka double up a good idea considering leicester run of fixtures?

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

      Try Toney or Isak instead

      1. Ajax Hamsterdam
        • 11 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        maybe wiser yes 🙂

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

      Too many good fwds to risk Daka, for me

      1. Ajax Hamsterdam
        • 11 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        cant afford them if I want maddison unfortunately

    3. Hairy Potter
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      It's a marathon, not a sprint. Should be opportunities to catch up after the World Cup with BGWs, DGWs and chips coming into play.

  11. Digital-Real
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    Presume Haaland isn't injured. I'd still captain him in the games he plays against the top 4.

    1. Josh.E
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      I'd captain Maddison next week imo

      1. Digital-Real
        • 9 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        If you are, suggest staying off this forum for a week leading up to the game. Your knees could wobble!

        1. Josh.E
          • 4 Years
          3 years, 6 months ago

          I just think United nullify him

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

            Martinez nullifying Haaland? Lol

            1. ☈☾
              • 8 Years
              3 years, 6 months ago

              Guess you have not seen Ajax v Dortmund

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

            If you're a United fan, take off the goggles.

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

        Bet you don't

    2. Zoostation
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Haaland every week until proven otherwise someone else can keep up with his returns.

  12. Sillet Bang
    • 16 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    Haaland rest come on Pep! Kane@

    1. DRIZ ✅
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      He is off?

      1. Scapegoat Salah
        • 9 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        Soon

  13. El Presidente
    • 6 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    Nah, City is content not going for it

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

      Because they haven't scored in 5 minutes? I mean, I'll take it

  14. Rainer
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    Haaland pissing away BPS, 6 pointer soon.

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

    Pep please make some subs!

  16. TheBiffas
    • 5 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    Would LOVE a city cs bust

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

    foden ruining chances left, right and center

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

      If you call a pass behind you a chance

  18. Granville
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • Has Moderation Rights
    • 16 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    Plucky side Wolves

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

      Yeah, I was just thinking that. You've got to appreciate their attitude.

  19. Over Midwicket
    • 14 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    Foden has been ghastly

    1. thegaffer82
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Yeah, he’s been poor. He’s a placeholder for Zaha for me. But was hoping for points in the meantime 🙁

  20. Hazz
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    KDB should have shot there

  21. Bellerinmondo
    • 11 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    Foden tries to Collins it in

  22. Rainer
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    Gundo, Mahrez & Walker might all be on before 60.

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

    Wolves actually playing decent for a ten man team. Matheus Nunes looks a baller

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

      They always look good at passing it around until they get into the box

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

    Lucky Sa

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

    Wtf is that Sa??? I dont think he has a brain

    1. DRIZ ✅
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Fpl getting to everyone i can see

  26. El Libe
    • 11 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    How is Foden looking?
    Any chance for his points today?

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

      Passes going to where he's been, not where he's going

      1. Royal5
        • 14 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        Been poor

    2. thegaffer82
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      1 chance created. 1 shot (blocked).
      Not his best game

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

        He created KDB shot off target towards end of first half, too!

  27. Digital-Real
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    KDB has fizzled out since that assist

  28. DRIZ ✅
    • 14 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    Haaland C fail ?

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

      Please don't jinx this mate

    2. Deulofail
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Vice is Mitrovic, so no

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

    Wolves 10 men giving it a go

  30. Stranger Mings
    • 5 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    Desperate man asking again but any further Leicester Line up news please?

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

      Who you got? Seen suggestions of Maddison Daka Barnes front 3

      1. Stranger Mings
        • 5 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        Super keeper Ward so praying he is benched

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

      Why desperate?

      1. Stranger Mings
        • 5 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        I accidentally played ward and benched my new signing pope

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

          Is what it is. Can't change it.
