Gameweek 15 rolls on with the tea-time kick-off at the King Power Stadium, as champions Leicester City host Pep Guardiola’s Manchester City.

Both of these sides are in decline as a source of Fantasy talent, with the Foxes failing to attract interest all season with both Riyad Mahrez and Jamie Vardy unable to live up to the inflated prices following last season’s triumphs.

As for City, the capitulation of Sergio Aguero last weekend has certainly reduced our level of investment. However, Kelechi Iheanacho is again given the opportunity to deputise in the Argentine’s absence – he starts today having been drafted in by more than 210,000 Fantasy Premier League managers ahead of this morning’s deadline.

Elsewhere for City, there are further teamsheet surprises from Guardiola, who keeps both Raheem Sterling and Yaya Toure on the bench, with Ilkay Gundogan retaining a starting role.

Mark Mark created the beast. He's now looking to tame it.

      With seven plus captain to play tomorrow, it is nice to see low scores so far for today.

    Arsene Wenger:

    - on the bench contributing
    I have top quality on the bench - there’s not one player you can question. I must say it’s general in the Premier League. When you look at the teams we play against, even the mid-table teams, when you look at their bench, there’s top quality on the bench. They had Crouch coming on today, who nearly punished us. It could have been the 2-2 on a header.

    - on Stoke’s penalty
    It wasn’t a penalty, because it wasn’t a foul. If every push is a free-kick, watch the game again. I don’t think that there was an attempt to make a penalty at all. There was no foul.

    - on Mustafi’s injury
    It’s a bad one. He had nothing in midweek. I would not have played him today (if he had). I had Hector Bellerin on the bench. I could have played Holding or Gabriel. He wanted to play in Basel, because he said ‘no it’s nothing’, and it was completely clear. I checked three times and there was no problem for. I don’t know why it happened, but it looks a ‘good’ hamstring strain.

    - on the timeframe for Mustafi's return
    Look, the minimum when you go out like that is 21 days. After that, today is December 10, so you are 21 days, that means he’ll have a nice Christmas!

      Thanks. You're a star

    2. tm245

      Wow, Mustafi is a real bummer.

    3. EmreCan Hustle
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 5 days ago

      Something in the choice of words suggests he isn't happy going into the busy festive period(without Mustafi)

    4. Vlad
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 5 days ago

      Help guys:

      My defense is :
      Mustafi, Coleman, Alonso, mcauley , Amat

      Mustafi is out 3-4 gw and I wanted to get rid of Coleman for some time now.. otherwise I think the rest my team can survive 2gw as it is..

      What do you think about -

      Coleman to Cedric
      Mustafi to Bellerin

      1 this gw, 2nd next one...

      I am also considering holebas but most ppl in my ML have him so thinking about Cedric as a differential ...

      1. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
        • 15 Years
        9 years, 5 days ago

        Toby looks a good def option now at 6.3

        1. Vlad
          • 9 Years
          9 years, 5 days ago

          a bit late to answer... anyway tnx for the heads up.. somehow missed the fact he was fit... i will do that as it makes my life easier i can swap directly mustafi to toby since i have 0.3 itb.. then i can do whatever i want with coleman next gw...

    3. Worzel Gummidge
        9 years, 5 days ago

        I think it would be better for you to delete your team if you get so upset over a stupid game.

      What happened to Walcott's BAPS?

      1. Worzel Gummidge
          9 years, 5 days ago

          He doesn't like baps. You should feel happy you got a goal out of him.

        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 15 Years
        9 years, 5 days ago

        Looking at Siggy > Alli
        Spurs - Hull/Burnley
        Swansea - wba/boro
        other option would be Firminho, those Spurs fixt are awesome and needs a mid I reckon.

        Thoughts?

            • 10 Years

            Interesting. Got Callum Wilson to move on and was only looking at Ian Nacho (sic) and Orig, been priced out of the former. Llorente would be an interesting choice and leaves more money in the bank...
