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.

      1. George Sillett
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 6 days ago

        I'd be looking to transfer out tbh.

    2. Bazzalona
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 6 days ago

    1. Top 210 Club
      • 15 Years

    1. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 6 days ago

      Mahrez instead

      1. Fred54
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 6 days ago

        LOL??

    2. Over Midwicket
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 6 days ago

      Lol

  13. fedolefan
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 6 days ago

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

  14. Over Midwicket
    • 13 Years
    9 years, 6 days ago

    Fuchs get that booking please

  15. Bubz
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 6 days ago

    Fuchs wants to stay on to get his yellow

  16. liiusions
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 6 days ago

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

  17. Darklord_bg
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 6 days 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
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 6 days ago

      Siggy if you have costa

      1. Darklord_bg
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 6 days ago

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

    2. StalkingDwarf
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 6 days 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, 6 days ago

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

  18. El-Kloppico
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 6 days 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
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 6 days ago

      This

    2. Les Bleus
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 6 days ago

      You don't seem sorry.

    3. Speédy
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 6 days ago

      And your 11 players will be benched next week

    4. IL Fantasista
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 6 days ago

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

  19. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
    • 15 Years
    9 years, 6 days ago

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

    1. Sweetboi
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 6 days ago

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

    2. El-Kloppico
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 6 days ago

      He might just play Bravo up in MID also

  20. JÆKS ⭐
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 6 days ago

    So everyone selling Iheanacho already then?

    1. walkman666
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 6 days ago

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

      1. JÆKS ⭐
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 6 days ago

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

    2. Limited & Mediocre Mana…
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 6 days ago

      Hopefully save until midweek. Will see what happens tomorrow.

    3. Nomar
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 6 days 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, 6 days 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, 6 days 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, 6 days ago

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

  21. Scotty B
    • 13 Years
    9 years, 6 days ago

    Will Ineanacho start midweek against Watford?

    1. Bleach †
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 6 days ago

      35/65

    2. dhamphiir
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 6 days ago

      Nolito will play upfront

    3. Christina.
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 6 days ago

      lol

    4. Coaly
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 6 days ago

      Won't play ever again

  22. Bleach †
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 6 days ago

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

    1. Differentiator
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 6 days ago

      Bravo is worth a punt

      1. Bleach †
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 6 days ago

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

  23. Bolivian Seaman
    • 15 Years
    9 years, 6 days ago

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

    1. Les Bleus
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 6 days ago

      Pep only cares about the possession and passes it seems.

  24. Mark-O
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 6 days ago

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

  25. diesel001
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 6 days ago

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

  26. Knowledgeable meerkat
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 6 days 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, 6 days 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, 6 days ago

      Llorente and Origi worth looking at also

  27. Mark-O
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 6 days ago

    4 goals conceded
    One goal
    One assist
    Two bonus

    Lolarov

    1. Nomar
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 6 days ago

      Microcosm of his fantasy career right there.

  28. EmreCan Hustle
    • 13 Years
    9 years, 6 days ago

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

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

  29. Blanka
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 6 days ago

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

  30. StalkingDwarf
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 6 days ago

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