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
      • 17 Years
      4 years, 23 days ago

      Will you give him the armband against United ?

      1. Ten Hag of Bud
        • 4 Years
        4 years, 23 days 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
      • 4 Years
      4 years, 23 days ago

      Kane plays too deep to score four or five

      1. Tinkermania
        • 7 Years
        4 years, 23 days ago

        He will get his cheap penalties!

        1. RICICLE
          • 4 Years
          4 years, 23 days ago

          Probably hehe

  2. FPL Daniel
    • 17 Years
    4 years, 23 days ago

    Corner

  3. FPL Emu
    • 16 Years
    4 years, 23 days ago

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

    1. Mozumbus
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 23 days ago

      There was a postponement which should have eased the congestion

      1. Volley127
        • 14 Years
        4 years, 23 days 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
          • 5 Years
          4 years, 23 days ago

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

  4. RICICLE
    • 4 Years
    4 years, 23 days ago

    Why the hell is Grealish top of bps

    4 years, 23 days ago

    Grealish (40)
    Cancelo (36)

  8. OPTA FPL
    • 15 Years
    4 years, 23 days ago

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

  9. DRIZ ✅
    • 14 Years
    4 years, 23 days ago

    Haaland C only 12 pts?

    1. RICICLE
      • 4 Years

    2. DARE TO BISCAN
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 23 days ago

      Double whatever points he gets.

  10. FPL Daniel
    • 17 Years
    4 years, 23 days ago

    Haaland slipped in the box

  11. Kaneyonero
    • 10 Years
    4 years, 23 days ago

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

    1. Mozumbus
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 23 days ago

      Looks like a glitch, maybe

    2. Granville

  17. Deulofail

      1. Deulofail
        • 10 Years
        4 years, 23 days ago

        They should stand under Harry Kane's chin then

  18. Royal5
    • 15 Years
    4 years, 23 days ago

    Alvarez has been terrible after coming on

    1. Deulofail
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 23 days ago

      What was he like before?

      1. Hazz
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
        4 years, 23 days ago

        Was sitting on his arse all match I heard

      2. DARE TO BISCAN
        • 8 Years
        4 years, 23 days ago

        Excellent seating posture. A great technician

    2. Herogrows
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 23 days ago

      Give him a chance

      1. Deulofail
        • 10 Years
        4 years, 23 days ago

        I'll give him a community chest

        1. Herogrows
          • 5 Years
          4 years, 23 days ago

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

  19. House Frey Wedding Planner
    • 8 Years
    4 years, 23 days 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
    • 11 Years
    4 years, 23 days ago

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

    1. George Sillett
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 23 days ago

      He hot extra BP for his hair & calves

  21. FC Hakkebøf
    • 9 Years
    4 years, 23 days ago

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

    1. Firmino
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 23 days ago

      But Grealish rarely scores

    2. DARE TO BISCAN
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 23 days ago

      Usual if, for city mids

    3. thegaffer82
      • 15 Years
      4 years, 23 days ago

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

      1. Mambino
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        4 years, 23 days ago

        he pooed today

        1. thegaffer82
          • 15 Years
          4 years, 23 days ago

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

          1. Mambino
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 13 Years
            4 years, 23 days ago

            his undies must look terrible

            1. Deulofail
              • 10 Years
              4 years, 23 days ago

              Would be more concerned about the smell or the taste

              1. Drexl Spivey
                • 8 Years
                4 years, 23 days ago

                Who tastes their underpants?

                1. Mambino
                  • Fantasy Football Scout Member
                  • 13 Years
                  4 years, 23 days ago

                  underpant eaters

  22. Fabreghastly
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 15 Years
    4 years, 23 days ago

    Haaland will nick a second in injury time

  23. Old Bull
    • 13 Years
    4 years, 23 days ago

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

  24. Sim Simma
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 15 Years
    4 years, 23 days ago

    Haaland is human after all

  25. Sim Simma
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 15 Years
    4 years, 23 days ago

    Palmer being berated by Haaland

  26. Paqueta Rice
    • 5 Years
    4 years, 23 days 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
      • 13 Years
      4 years, 23 days ago

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

      1. Paqueta Rice
        • 5 Years
        4 years, 23 days ago

        Nice. Carry the dog poo bags with you 😉

        Nobody will ever know

      2. Gandalf
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 16 Years
        4 years, 23 days ago

        I should have done the same!

    2. Drexl Spivey
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 23 days ago

      I still am.

  27. Hazz
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years
    4 years, 23 days ago

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

    1. Hazz
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 23 days ago

      Wait he is now anyway lol

  28. TOBY1
    • 9 Years
    4 years, 23 days ago

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

  29. Nomar
    • 16 Years
    4 years, 23 days ago

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

    1. DARE TO BISCAN
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 23 days ago

      Walking the league. Pedestrian.

      1. Nomar
        • 16 Years
        4 years, 23 days ago

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