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

    Haaland the goal machine need no rest. He is like the terminator. I haven't captained him all season, trying to be different, it's been a massive fail.... He's a real class act but please KANE score four or five for me

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

      Will you give him the armband against United ?

      1. Ten Hag of Bud
        • 3 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        Not a chance. I am considering ditching Jezeus for Ronny tho and captaining him. We will shut City down, mark my words.

    2. RICICLE
      • 3 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Kane plays too deep to score four or five

      1. Tinkermania
        • 6 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        He will get his cheap penalties!

        1. RICICLE
          • 3 Years
          3 years, 6 months ago

          Probably hehe

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

    Corner

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

    So this Haaland rotation stuff is just greatly exaggerated. Dude plays 90 every week

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

      There was a postponement which should have eased the congestion

      1. Volley127
        • 13 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        And international break next week too. But in general it doesn't seem like he's as much as a minutes risk as many thought

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

          Yes international break as well. His minutes will be managed going forward.

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

    Why the hell is Grealish top of bps

  5. Totalfootball
    • 9 Years

    6. BeaversWithAttitude
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

    Grealish (40)

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

    As a Kane captain I expect 1 blank + 1 YC today, typical that

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

    Haaland C only 12 pts?

    1. RICICLE
      • 3 Years

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

      Double whatever points he gets.

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

    Haaland slipped in the box

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

    Where did Grealish get those BPS? Probably supposed to be 30 not 40?

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

      Looks like a glitch, maybe

    2. Granville
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

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

        They should stand under Harry Kane's chin then

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

    Alvarez has been terrible after coming on

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

      What was he like before?

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

        Was sitting on his arse all match I heard

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

        Excellent seating posture. A great technician

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

      Give him a chance

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

        I'll give him a community chest

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

          I was playing Bonopoly earlier, it’s like Monopoly but where the streets have no name!!!

  19. House Frey Wedding Planner
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    Three most important things still to happen today:

    1. Dier starts.....otherwise I get Collins -3 coming on from the bench
    2. Kane (c) to smash it against Leicester
    3. No more Haaland involvement (yellow card would be nice though)

  20. Pep's Money Laundry
    • 10 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    Did Grealish jump to 3bp for getting a Pep handshake?

    1. George Sillett
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      He hot extra BP for his hair & calves

  21. FC Hakkebøf
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    Foden is a nice differential and happy to own, but Grealish could be better value if he nails down a spot

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

      But Grealish rarely scores

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

      Usual if, for city mids

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

      Nah. I’d rather have Foden.
      Grealish is all fart and no poo

      1. Mambino
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        he pooed today

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

          He did poo today, after a long series of farts 🙂

          1. Mambino
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 12 Years
            3 years, 6 months ago

            his undies must look terrible

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

              Would be more concerned about the smell or the taste

              1. Drexl Spivey
                • 7 Years
                3 years, 6 months ago

                Who tastes their underpants?

                1. Mambino
                  • Fantasy Football Scout Member
                  • 12 Years
                  3 years, 6 months ago

                  underpant eaters

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

    Haaland will nick a second in injury time

  23. Old Bull
    • 12 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    Come on Cancelo, grab a goal and nick the 3bps

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

    Haaland is human after all

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

    Palmer being berated by Haaland

  26. Paqueta Rice
    • 5 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    Kane captains must have been crapping themselves when wolves went down to 10. Seems you have gotten away with it!

    1. Mambino
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      I wasn't, cos I went for a long walk with the dogs and just got back

      1. Paqueta Rice
        • 5 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        Nice. Carry the dog poo bags with you 😉

        Nobody will ever know

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

        I should have done the same!

    2. Drexl Spivey
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      I still am.

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

    If that cross stayed in, Cancelo could have topped the BAPs!

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

      Wait he is now anyway lol

  28. TOBY1
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    Haaland could have had a lot more in this game. Oh well

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

    Pedestrian second half performance from City. They could have had 5 or 6 if they'd have bothered.

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

      Walking the league. Pedestrian.

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

        There was more for them there but they let Wolves off, imo.
