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.

    Remember when City had good defenders for FPL? Pepperidge Farm remembers.

    Slow down Leicester, you only need to score 3....

    Look at the header image of the page

    JUST LOOK AT IT LOL

    you couldn't make this up haha

    1. Greenbackbøøg…

      Its usually a manager looking grumpy or worried

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

      Different users see different header images, so eventually they make sense....

    Claudio Bravo has to be the worse signing ever

    1. Jimmers
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 6 days ago

      but but but he's good with his feet???

      1. Venom Snake
        • 12 Years
        9 years, 6 days ago

        He has feet for hands

      2. Granville

        • Has Moderation Rights
        • 16 Years
        9 years, 6 days ago

        So is De Gea.

    2. Granville
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 6 days ago

      Pep has never needed a defence before in Spain or Germany.

      1. Syd.
        • 16 Years
        9 years, 6 days ago

        No he hadn't and appears that he had a very steep learning curve. Getting rid of Hart was a major mistake

        1. Granville
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • Has Moderation Rights
          • 16 Years
          9 years, 6 days ago

          I'd argue he was City's most important player

          1. Syd.
            • 16 Years
            9 years, 6 days ago

            You could be right for all his faults he kept the defenders in front of him aware of what they had to do. Bravo just doesn't do anything worthwhile

            1. Granville
              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • Has Moderation Rights
              • 16 Years

              Every side needs a leader

    Pep finding premier league life very difficult. Much harder then playing with giants amongst mice

    1. Jay Jay Okocha
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 6 days ago

      La Liga is far more difficult. Hope that helps

      1. FALCAO & MOU
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 6 days ago

        Have you seen the lower teams, they are like Premium League second teams.

      2. Venom Snake
        • 12 Years
        9 years, 6 days ago

        Lol.

      3. wachu
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member

        9 years, 6 days ago

        Yeah right! In the past four years the first 3 teams has always been: Barca, Real, Athletico. There is no competition above that teams, as it is in the EPL, so even if you lose there a game with one of the contenders, you can always win the league, because the rest of the teams are weaker.

    Why do I have Stones and Kosc in my team.
    Who do I transfer out first for a Chelsea defender a.

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

      Stones easy. Kosc if you need the funds.

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

      Stones is absolute garbage.

  7. Depleda
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 6 days ago

    Stones must be the biggest bargain turned waste of space FPL option I've ever come accross.

    1. Tansey

    Are these the final baps or is Siggy likely to get winning goal baps?

    1. TorresMagic™
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      • 16 Years
      9 years, 6 days ago

    Stones is still the third highest owned defender in FPL.

    1. camarozz
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 6 days ago

      Can't be.

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

        It's true.

    2. 824545201
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 6 days ago

      Dead teams mostly, he was by far the most owned defender GW1.

  10. wachu
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 6 days ago

    hehehe 🙂 Guardiola - EPL it's not the same league as in Spain or Germany where he was manager of best teams in the country and there was only one-two teams which could makes the problem to win leagues 🙂

  11. camarozz
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 6 days ago

    Bring back Mancini oh sheikh one.

  12. bodgejob
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 6 days ago

    City can't defend with 4 yet alone 3 at the back

  13. ★Kuntheman★
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 6 days ago

    I think I have a right to be pissed at Pep now

    1. Hurricane Gilbert
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 6 days ago

      Everyone has

    2. FALCAO & MOU
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 6 days ago

  14. HurriKane
    • 13 Years
    9 years, 6 days ago

    what do you expect while playing 3 fullbacks and a 50m donkey in defence

    pep has lost it

    1. ★Kuntheman★
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 6 days ago

      Every time I see the three at the back I almost don't want to see the game

  15. Revival

      3. Davidinho
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 6 days ago

        Lovely touch from Mahrez in the run up to that first goal. Joy to watch when he's in the groove.

      4. Frank Black
        • 12 Years
        9 years, 6 days ago

        I knew it, now that Leicester are able to put the CL aside for a while they can focus on the PL and i also knew that Pep was going to lose it in the christmas period.

        Now i'm kind of glad that i've kept Fuchs(although i put him third on the bench) but i don't feel so good about getting Kelechi last night.

      5. Revival
