            <p class="isSelectedEnd">FPL Gameweek 3 is fast approaching – and FPL Wire co-host <a href="https://x.com/ZopharFPL">Zophar</a> is on hand to answer some of the biggest questions ahead of the deadline.</p>
<p class="isSelectedEnd">This week, he covers whether <strong>Ezri Konsa </strong>is one to buy this week, the top Manchester City picks amid their new signings, using the Triple Captain on <strong>Erling Haaland </strong>and the case for selling <strong>Bruno Fernandes </strong>among other top FPL tips.</p>

<p style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://www.fantasyfootballhub.co.uk/join?"><span style="font-weight: 400;"><strong>Win your FPL mini-league or your money back!</strong></span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;"> </span></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-weight: 400;"></span></p>
<h2>Is Konsa a no-brainer - or is he a minutes risk?</h2>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Konsa made his first Arsenal appearance when he was subbed on for <strong>Cristhian Mosquera</strong> late on against Aston Villa, with Mikel Arteta saying post-match that the substitution was precautionary.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">At the time of writing, we still don’t have any clear prognosis of whether Mosquera is injured or not.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">We can hardly rely on Arteta to be forthcoming in his press conferences, so assuming a hazy picture is given to us on Friday, that will still leave some uncertainty about Konsa starting this weekend. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">However, there is no doubt in my mind that he has been bought to be a starter, especially with <strong>William Saliba</strong> expected to be out for a while still. But that doesn’t mean he starts right away in a big London derby. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">So he is definitely someone I would buy on a Wildcard - but not necessarily plan to play him over the next few weeks, ideally as a fourth </span><span style="font-weight: 400;">or fifth </span><span style="font-weight: 400;">defender. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">I certainly wouldn’t use a free transfer on him this week but in the absence of Saliba, I do expect Konsa to become a ‘no-brainer’ pick from the league’s best defence at just 4.4m. </span></p>

<h2>Do City have any 'safe' picks left bar Haaland?</h2>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Short-term maybe, long-term no. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">I don’t think the likes of <strong>Allen</strong>, <strong>Iliman Ndiaye</strong>, <strong>Ayyoub Bouaddi</strong> or <strong>Enzo Fernandez</strong> will be thrown into the Manchester City lineup against Coventry but I do expect them all to get minutes before the international break - scattered across the Champions League, Premier League and Carabao Cup fixtures.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The popular picks people are looking at are <strong>Antoine Semenyo</strong>, <strong>Rayan Cherki</strong>, <strong>Phil Foden</strong>, <strong>Nico O’Reilly</strong> and <strong>Josko Gvardiol</strong>. I guess <strong>Marc Guehi</strong> is a factor too, to a more limited extent. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">With<strong> Jeremy Doku</strong> injured, Semenyo’s spot is probably the most secure of all the City midfielders, as I think Allen is the one likely to be given more time to acclimatise, with Ndiaye occupying a wing berth pretty soon. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">He’s also a fitness monster and well capable of playing three games a week. Could this change long term though? Possibly but given what Maresca wants from his wingers, I still think he’s the second most nailed Manchester City asset right now. </span></p>
