Dugout Discussion – Leicester City vs Man City

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.

      Allen's more attacking than Can is whilst playing in a Stoke team that's pretty garbage elsewhere, but Liverpool have a good run of fixtures coming up. Coin toss really.

    I dont understand the Walcott out transfers. He's not the most intelligent footballer but the guy scores goals.

          Seeing how Vardy exploited their defence, I have concerns that he might be given midweek off so his pace can be used against City.

      I have avoided Arsenal, not because of their players quality but just due to rotation risks.

      Unlike last season they have real strength in depth available across the whole midfield, am sure Wenger will rotate and at this time of year I want nailed on players like Siggy.
