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

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

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

      Botman on the bench

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

        Botman, Burn and Targett competing for two spaces in the defence.

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

      Bruno back good for Newcastle. No Botman.

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

      No Elliot Anderson in the Newcastle squad is disappointing. Good to see Bruno back though.

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

      Where's Kelly? Not even in squad.

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

    OFF Alvarez Mahrez Gundogan
    ON Bilva Foden KDB

    1. Herger
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Um

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

        Haha the ol switcheroo

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

      Eh? 😀

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

      Ohh where are they ON? Post-match party?

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

        ON FIRE :mrgreen:

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

    Damn No ASM, Bailey first bench

  17. Boomerang V
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    OMG Logstaff benched!

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

      Botman too

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

      As soon as Bruno was back it was likely. He probably come on in the second half.

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

    Didn’t think Haaland would still be on being 3 up

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

    Regretting not doing KDB (-4) to play Neco before WC! Playing too safely!

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

      Yeah I wanted to sell Gundo to KDB for -8 but chickened out

      1. Big Mac 24
        • 13 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        I did Haaland Salah Ward & Webster to Kane KDB Cancelo Pope for -12. Content so far, so long as Haaland stays on 6 pts. I needed to play catch-up with Kane over Haaland for next 5 weeks, let’s see

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

    Lucky KDB owners he delivered before being subbed on

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

      What’s lucky about that?

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

        He should have been off before Foxen goal but there wasn’t a break for the dub to be made

    2. denial
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Finally in therapy then? 😉

      1. Pumpkinhead - I'm ITK …
        • 16 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        Yes the therapist is still trying to get the Mark and Magnus posters down from Daniel's bedroom wall. It's a slow process

  21. Puntillimon
    • 10 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    Wasted a -4 for botman… hope he comes on

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

    Brute Bernado off?

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

    Come ooon Gundogan please do something

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

    Remember when people was saying that Haaland would have his minutes limited? 🙂

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

      Wasn't it Pep that said it?!

  25. Bobby Digital
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    Let's go Haaland, one more!

  26. RamaJama
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    Need City to concede, loosing rank with Haaland C and kdb

      1. RamaJama
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        Thanks, I need that correction to improve my Norwenglish!

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

    Haaland survives another subbing

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

    Haalaand 0 bonus

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

      Count when the game is over

  29. Shark Team
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    Haaland plays full 90 more pain coming for non captainers

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

      Still more subs left?

      1. Shark Team
        • 8 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        Only defenders in the bench

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

    I blame my decisions to go for City mids like Grealish and Gundogan for not having the best start of the season

    Other than that I did fine me thinks

    KDB or no one looks like the right strategy
