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.

  2. George Sillett

    1. HNI

      9 years, 4 months ago

      1. George Sillett
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 4 months ago

        I'd be looking to transfer out tbh.

    2. Bazzalona
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      He might well do that.
      Would not surprise me in the slightest.

  4. HNI

    1. Top 210 Club
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      Would replace if you able to afford Antonio or son

        1. HNI
          • 13 Years
          9 years, 4 months ago

  8. walkman666

    9 years, 4 months ago

    Fuchs off to a standing ovation

    1. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      Mahrez instead

      1. Fred54
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 4 months ago

        LOL??

    2. Over Midwicket
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      Lol

  11. fedolefan
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 4 months ago

    Fuchs down to 1 point. Get that yellow card son.

  12. Over Midwicket
    • 14 Years
    9 years, 4 months ago

    Fuchs get that booking please

  13. Bubz
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 4 months ago

    Fuchs wants to stay on to get his yellow

  14. liiusions
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 4 months ago

    This was just Fuchs trolling his owners even more who had to keep him due to Aguero problems

  15. Darklord_bg
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 4 months ago

    What to do, what to do?

    A) Zaha -> Siggy
    B) Eriksen -> Hazard
    C) Firmino -> Hazard

    Siggy rising tonight so I need to be quick...

    1. Dog and Fox
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      Siggy if you have costa

      1. Darklord_bg
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 4 months ago

        Yeah, I have Costa, but I feel like Hazard is also a must...

    2. StalkingDwarf
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      A imo. Zaha leaving for AFCON soon, and the game's he'll play before he leaves are United and Chelsea.

      1. Darklord_bg
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 4 months ago

        That's what I was thinking too, but Zaha has been playing so well, I feel like it will be a huge waste 😀

  16. El-Kloppico
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 4 months ago

    Nolito was playing as striker in Spain.
    So, Pep can stop scratching his head, Nolito it is, until Kun's return.
    Sorry Nacho owners! 🙂

    1. Fowler23
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      This

    2. Les Bleus
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      You don't seem sorry.

    3. Speédy
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      And your 11 players will be benched next week

    4. IL Fantasista
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      Nolito was sort of pushed away from Benfica. But he always scored while he was there.

  17. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
    • 15 Years
    9 years, 4 months ago

    Pep licking his lips at the thought of all these midfielder he can pick v watford

    1. Sweetboi
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      He loves defenders in midfield as well...he's wise beyond his years.

    2. El-Kloppico
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      He might just play Bravo up in MID also

  18. JÆKS ⭐
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 4 months ago

    So everyone selling Iheanacho already then?

    1. walkman666
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      Fffix has him possibly rising tonight. I'd at least wait until after price changes.

      1. JÆKS ⭐
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 4 months ago

        Yea I'm def waiting, maybe even keeping, just seen so many posts about everyone selling him already

    2. Limited & Mediocre Mana…
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      Hopefully save until midweek. Will see what happens tomorrow.

    3. Nomar
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      But you'd have been selling him in 3 weeks time anyway, which is why I never understood the point of getting him in the first place.

      Leaving Man City players alone for now.

      1. JÆKS ⭐
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 4 months ago

        He looked like good value though considering his goal scoring record. 4 weeks is enough time for him to pay back the investment.

        1. Nomar
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 16 Years
          9 years, 4 months ago

          City haven't looked right for ages, though.

          He might thrive in City's system better than Kun, but hard to think Pep drops Kun on his return from suspension.

          1. JÆKS ⭐
            • 11 Years
            9 years, 4 months ago

            Could keep him for 3 more games though, but the early substitution is a worry though

  19. Scotty B
    • 13 Years
    9 years, 4 months ago

    Will Ineanacho start midweek against Watford?

    1. Bleach †
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      35/65

    2. dhamphiir
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      Nolito will play upfront

    3. Christina.
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      lol

    4. Coaly
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      Won't play ever again

  20. Bleach †
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 4 months ago

    15 from 3 not that bad, but Kelechi punt went horribly wrong. Not getting City players anymore.

    1. Differentiator
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      Bravo is worth a punt

      1. Bleach †
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 4 months ago

        Was thinking Alonso → Stones, but after this game, I dont know anymore.

  21. Bolivian Seaman
    • 15 Years
    9 years, 4 months ago

    Leicester has just gone past 200 passes, city close to 700

    1. Les Bleus
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      Pep only cares about the possession and passes it seems.

  22. Mark-O
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 4 months ago

    Fuchs is going to be punished by Ranieri for defying orders?

  23. diesel001
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 4 months ago

    Kolarov - City's best player today. Will be benched midweek. Standard Pep.

  24. Knowledgeable meerkat
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 4 months ago

    I'm going to scout caroll tomorrow. If he starts:

    Nacho > Carroll

    Carroll has Hull and Burnley at home in the two subsequent game weeks

    1. Blanka
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      With you, brother. Has he got it in him to start a second match so soon tho? Fast fixtures this week.

    2. Kun Tozser
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      Llorente and Origi worth looking at also

  25. Mark-O
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 4 months ago

    4 goals conceded
    One goal
    One assist
    Two bonus

    Lolarov

    1. Nomar
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      Microcosm of his fantasy career right there.

  26. EmreCan Hustle
    • 13 Years
    9 years, 4 months ago

    Koscielny+Hojbejrg to Cedric+Can(-4)?

    Have Anichebe in a 3-4-3. Don't want to start him against Chelsea.

  27. Blanka
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 4 months ago

    If Carrol looks good tomorrow, he is perfect replacement for Nacho. Plum fixtures. Shame always the fitness issues.

  28. StalkingDwarf
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 4 months ago

    Think any Spurs midfielders will be rested in the next few games?

  29. Carlton P
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 4 months ago

    Holebas owners... Your still shipping right?
    Non alonso owner here

    1. Kun Tozser
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      Keeping

  30. Je suis le chat
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 4 months ago

    Us Nacho owners will be better off if he comes on in the second half for a 30 main cameo vs Harry Hole and friends.
