Sunday’s Premier League action continues in Birmingham as Aston Villa take on Leicester City in Gameweek 15.

Kick-off is at 16:30 GMT.

Steven Gerrard makes two changes to his starting XI, with Ashley Young and Jacob Ramsey coming in for Matt Targett and Leon Bailey, who both picked up injuries in midweek.

That suggests £4.5m midfielder Ramsey will feature in Villa’s front three, alongside Emiliano Buendia and Ollie Watkins.

As for Leicester, Jamie Vardy – who is owned by 26.8% of Fantasy Premier League (FPL) managers – is named as a substitute, as Patson Daka leads the line.

Kieran Dewsbury-Hall also comes in for Boubakary Soumare, who drops to the bench.

GAMEWEEK 15 LINE-UPS

Aston Villa XI: Martinez, Cash, Konsa, Mings, Young, Nakamba, McGinn, Luiz, Buendia, Ramsey, Watkins

Subs: Steer, Sanson, Tuanzebe, El Ghazi, Hause, Philogene-Bidace, Chukwuemeka, Davis, Iroegbunam

Leicester City XI: Schmeichel, Castagne, Evans, Soyuncu, Thomas, Dewsbury-Hall, Ndidi, Maddison, Lookman, Barnes, Daka

Subs: Ward, Vardy, Albrighton, Iheanacho, Perez, Choudhury, Vestergaard, Daley-Campbell, Soumare

    Choosing watkins & reglion over wilson & davies, deadly 22 pts

  2. MOZIL
    • 9 Years
    4 years, 3 months ago

    Alonso likely to start next game?

    1. JONALDINHO
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      Should be rested midweek and back for Leeds

      1. MOZIL
        • 9 Years
        4 years, 3 months ago

        what about james?

        1. JONALDINHO
          • 8 Years
          4 years, 3 months ago

          Should start regardless. If he starts UCL he could be rested GW17 though

    2. BrockLanders
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      Probably. Rested for CL I'd presume

  3. Lord of Ings
    • 10 Years
    4 years, 3 months ago

    How did Watkins look today?
    Would you get Watkins over king/Dennis?*

    1. Warby84
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      Should of scored

      1. Old Man
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        4 years, 3 months ago

        Oh dear ...... *should've

    2. Green Arrow
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      Looked good. Not over King/Dennis, but over Kane/Vardy for sure.

  4. JONALDINHO
    • 8 Years
    4 years, 3 months ago

    Thoughts? 2FT 0.6ITB

    Ramsdale
    Trent • Cancelo • Dias • Alonso
    Salah(C) • Son • Foden • Jota
    Antonio • Toney
    (Foster / White / Brownhill / Davis)

    Toney -> King and save other FT?

    Name the 3 strikers you would want in your team for the upcoming xmas period....

    1. Calculated Risks
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      Ronaldo King and Davis for me

      1. Luggy10
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 6 Years
        4 years, 3 months ago

        Non playing striker or very few minutes. Not think with the congested schedule we should be looking to maximize the minutes our squad will play?

        1. Calculated Risks
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 10 Years
          4 years, 3 months ago

          Got Livra, BJohnson, and 5 nailed mids. 2 subs enough for me. No value in strikers, so I'm playing 4 4 2 or 3 5 2

          1. Luggy10
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 6 Years
            4 years, 3 months ago

            Agree about the forwards being poor value, but I like to have a full playing squad. Borja could be a decent bench able option over the Xmas period. Need to get rid of Jimenez, poor couple of fixtures and drops very deep ala Kane.

    2. Ze_Austin
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      Ronaldo Antonio Benteke

      1. Luggy10
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 6 Years
        4 years, 3 months ago

        I was looking at trying to get a palace attacker in with those fixtures but they look as though they will share minutes.

        1. Ze_Austin
          • 7 Years
          4 years, 3 months ago

          He will be benched now and then, but he'll play every game and come close enough to scoring every time. Sometimes it'll go in, sometimes it wouldn't. I like his stats and performances enough

          It's all balls to him when he's on the pitch, and I like that with those fixtures. Same for Ronaldo

          Antonio is more rounded: he might assist or score and should be rested for the odd game, but I like his chances with those fixtures too

    3. Zogzeg
      • 13 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      Ayew Hwang King

      1. Luggy10
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 6 Years
        4 years, 3 months ago

        You really are shopping at Aldi with that frontline!!!

      2. Ze_Austin
        • 7 Years
        4 years, 3 months ago

        No, I'm not

        1. Luggy10
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 6 Years
          4 years, 3 months ago

          Your defence & mids must be galactico standard.

      3. Over Midwicket
        • 14 Years
        4 years, 3 months ago

        That joke will fly over the heads of most on here

        1. Luggy10
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 6 Years
          4 years, 3 months ago

          Just got it...
          Lol.
          Witty

        2. Baps Hunter
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 8 Years
          4 years, 3 months ago

          Thx 😉 I needed 20 seconds to understand it after starting to try 😉

    4. MikeS
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      Three is too much up front. I'd go two and they'd be Ronaldo and dennis

    5. Green Arrow
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      Ronaldo, Antonio, King

    6. Camzy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      Ronaldo, Antonio, King

      1. Luggy10
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 6 Years
        4 years, 3 months ago

        Ronaldo impressive today?
        I didn't watch the game.

    7. Athletico Underachieving
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      Ronaldo, Antonio, Dennis for me

  6. iL PiStOlErO
    • 6 Years
    4 years, 3 months ago

    Looking at WC team (don't have the best team value so it makes thing more complicated).

    Ramsdale 3.9
    TAA Cancelo James Dier ____
    Salah Jota Bilva Bissouma ____
    CR7 ____ ____

    Choose players for the missing spots:

    A) Jhonson, 4.3 mid, Antonio, Dennis

    Or

    B) Telles, Bowen, King 4.5 fwd

    Cheers all.

  8. THFC4LIFE

    Anyone having a decent week?

    1. Ivan Toney Soprano
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      Not me

    2. Il Capitano
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      Expecting an ESR double digit haul tomorrow to save me (if he even starts)

    3. Calculated Risks
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      Son (C) gave me 50 with ESR and Ramsdale left and a green arrow so I guess so

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

      What is decent? 49 all out.

      1. Calculated Risks
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        4 years, 3 months ago

        47 is good this week

    5. Salah’s Sonnet
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      YUP, 59 pts with ESR to go, fourth solid GW in a row now, much needed

    6. JONALDINHO
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      54 with Ramsdale + White left so not bad. Could’ve been so much more though if City kept the cleanie

    7. Nate(U)dog(ie)
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      Yesterday I did, now with Toney replaced by Rudiger and Kane's regular 2pts I'm looking at 54

    8. lugs
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      0/

      62 one to go

    9. THFC4LIFE
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      44 with Ramsdale and ESR to go for me, seems below par

      1. Calculated Risks
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        4 years, 3 months ago

        Only a couple below average, can make it up tomorrow, most only have 1 player left

    10. WVA
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      53 with ESR to go

    11. Dave’s Rubber Digne R…
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      54. Went into the day optimistic but a Reguilon 0 pointer hurt and disappointing Watkins couldn’t bag against a terrible leicester defence.

    12. phoenixfromtheflames
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      I was 62 all out yesterday, happy enough

    13. Scots Gooner
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      66 and that's with James & Reguilon zero points. Can't complain about that.

    14. Yes Ndidi
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      57 all out. 215k to 150k, so getting there slowly

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

    Thoughts on below?

    A) Toney Raph to King/Dennis Bowen
    B) Toney Son Raph to CR7 Bowen 4.5mid -4
    C) Toney Vardy Mbeumo to CR7 King/Dennis 4.5mid -4

    Rambo/Foster
    TAA/Cancelo/James/Alonso/Duffy
    Salah/Son/Raph/Gallagher/Mbeumo
    Vardy/Toney/4.4

    1. Atimis
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      Or something else? 0.1ITB 2FTs

    2. Calculated Risks
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      A is solid

    3. Il Capitano
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      A I think

    4. Atimis
      • 9 Years

  12. not_astarte
    • 5 Years

    should I sell Gallagher????

    1. WVA
      • 9 Years

      Yes

    2. Calculated Risks
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      Depends on your team...he will be involved in goals, even with playing deeper

    3. Botman and Robben
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      Ramsdale going up again. Won't be able to get him easy now. 😀

      1. phoenixfromtheflames
        • 10 Years
        4 years, 3 months ago

        Considering De Gea instead, they’ll both be £5.0m

    4. phoenixfromtheflames
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      Yes, I just have for Bowen before Gallagher’s price drops.

  13. Botman and Robben
    • 9 Years
    4 years, 3 months ago

    1FT. 0.1ITB

    Should I roll the transfer?

  15. Camzy
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 15 Years
    4 years, 3 months ago

    If you could pick one regardless of price who would you go for?

    A) Foden
    B) Bernardo
    C) Sancho

    1. Lord of Ings
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      A

    2. Calculated Risks
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      Stats say A, B is more nailed. Need more data on Sancho

    3. MikeS
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      B whilst the price is rocketing, then switch to a eventually

    4. Nate(U)dog(ie)
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      I have A and B but A

      1. phoenixfromtheflames
        • 10 Years
        4 years, 3 months ago

        I also have a & b, Grealish pissed me off yesterday preventing several Foden Assists…

    5. Green Arrow
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      A. With Greenwood back, don't think Sancho will ever get the full 90.

    6. phoenixfromtheflames
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      B) at the moment, tho I have both A & B (& a solid squad to cover benchings)

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

    How likely are Toney and Reguilon to play next gw?

    1. MikeS
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      0% toney

      1. Scots Gooner
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
        4 years, 3 months ago

        Really? How long is he out for?

  17. Baps Hunter
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years
    4 years, 3 months ago

    Choosing Gundogan over Silva has cost me a lot. However, I don't understand this. All my (5) defenders have blanked except TAA and it's still looking like small green arrow. Thx to Son who I sold. Had busy weekend at the work and first time this season I haven't been able to follow what's happening. But what the heck is going on?!? Everyone else also being "trolled"?!?

  18. Wolfman180
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years
    4 years, 3 months ago

    Bit of help guys

    Current team:
    McCarthy / Foster
    TAA/ James/ Alonso/ Cancelo/ Liv
    Salah/ Jota/ Gallagher/ Son/ Normann
    Antonio/ Jesus/ Davis

    Been what feels like free fall for couple of weeks now with so many injury issues.

    Currently looking at taking a -8 to sort this team out with
    McCarthy, Alonso, Gallagher, Davis
    To
    DDG, Davies, Bowen, King

    Is it worth taking? Didn't want to drop Gallgher before Everton but I could end up being priced out of getting Bowen

    1. jonnybhoy
      • 13 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      Yeah worth it

      1. Wolfman180
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        4 years, 3 months ago

        Thanks for the input. I am tempted. Too risky to move early with mid week games?

  19. HonestBlatter
    • 15 Years
    4 years, 3 months ago

    55 all out...who to bring in for Raphinha and Toney (2FTs)?

    1. thegame983
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      I'm doing Bilva & Dennis

      1. Stranger Mings
        • 5 Years
        4 years, 3 months ago

        Silva, foden or Bowen & Dennis:king

      2. HonestBlatter
        • 15 Years
        4 years, 3 months ago

        King & Mount another option or a mix of those

  20. Van der Faart
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    4 years, 3 months ago

    Considering a -8 this week after a nightmare

    Kane, Raph, Duffy to King, Son, Cancelo

    Or just thr first 2 and ignore Cancelo for the moment for -4?

    1. MikeS
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      Delete profile, that's embarrassing

      1. MikeS
        • 11 Years
        4 years, 3 months ago

        Or at minimum change name to someone you don't like, to hide your tracks

        1. Van der Faart
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 14 Years
          4 years, 3 months ago

          Dont follow you sorry

      2. Scots Gooner
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
        4 years, 3 months ago

        Rude

    2. Scots Gooner
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      -8 is a bit extreme.

      Maybe the -4 is worthwhile in the long run though.

  21. AzzaroMax99
    • 9 Years
    4 years, 3 months ago

    Who to get from ManU for game vs Nor? Also is Davies from Tot worth buying? Livramento to Davies fits perfectly.

    1. Van der Faart
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      Davies has looked great recently. Getting forward too. Good option

  22. Jet5605
    • 11 Years
    4 years, 3 months ago

    2 FT and 1.9 ITB. Have exact cash to do A and so should I pull trigger now before ECL matches?

    A - Raph & Perica > Bilva & Dennis
    B - Raph > Bilva and roll 1 FT
    C - Other suggestion?

    Sanchez
    TAA - James - Cancelo - Livra
    Salah (c) - Son - Jota - Raph
    Antonio - Wilson

    Foster - Gilmour - Duffy - Perica

  23. Erez Avni
    • 9 Years
    4 years, 3 months ago

    The plan is to bring Bowen for Raphi but then who goes to the bench? Reguilon? Mbuemo?

    Ramsdale
    TAA Rudy Cancelo James Reguilon
    Salah (c) Raphi Jota Son
    King

    Foster Jimenez Mbuemo Broja

  24. Nightf0x
    • 10 Years
    4 years, 3 months ago

    Rams
    Taa can rudi regi (lamptey)
    Jota son salah bernardo esr
    Denis (watkins locadia)

    Which?

    A) regi to telles
    B) watkins son -4 to ronaldo bowen (exact cash)

    My main plan was B) but if went A) will roll ft gw17 & gw18 get antonio bowen for lcoadia son

  25. Ajax Hamsterdam
    • 11 Years

    Who is everyone selling Kane for ?

    I’m chasing a ML rival who’s 55 ahead of me right now and we have very similar teams (and he has son)
    Would you recommend
    A)Rashford/Bowen Watkins
    B)Son King
    Would you still recommend B?
