Millions of vice-captains and auto-subs will be needed in Gameweek 14 of Fantasy Premier League (FPL) as Erling Haaland misses out on Leicester City v Manchester City this lunchtime.

Haaland, who suffered a knock in City’s draw with Borussia Dortmund, is one of a host of players who drop out of the starting XI named by Pep Guardiola in midweek.

The Norwegian isn’t even on the bench for the 12.30pm BST kick-off.

Phil Foden is back among the substitutes for the second league game running, while Ruben Dias also drops out of the line-up.

Aymeric Laporte, Bernardo Silva, Kevin De Bruyne, Manuel Akanji, Ederson and Jack Grealish, all benched in Germany, come back into the team today.

The Leicester team news is an altogether quieter affair, with Brendan Rodgers only making two alterations.

Jamie Vardy is back in the side to replace Patson Daka, while centre-back Caglar Soyuncu is handed his first Premier League start of the season.

Midfielder Boubakary Soumare, a Gameweek 13 starter, is missing from the squad.

GAMEWEEK 14 LINE-UPS

Leicester City XI: Ward, Amartey, Soyuncu, Faes, Castagne, Dewsbury-Hall, Tielemans, Justin, Maddison, Barnes, Vardy

Subs: Iversen, Thomas, Perez, Ndidi, Albrighton, Mendy, Iheanacho, Praet, Daka

Manchester City XI: Ederson, Akanji, Stones, Laporte, Cancelo, Rodri, Gundogan, De Bruyne, Silva, Grealish, Alvarez

Subs: Ortega Moreno, Carson, Dias, Ake, Gomez, Mahrez, Foden, Lewis, Wilson-Esbrand

    Andreas first rub-a-dub.

    Pep has confirmed a "ligament" problem for Haaland

    1. Drexl Spivey
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      You know what would be helpful here?

        Sauce?

        A Bad Lieutenant interrogation?

        1. Drexl Spivey
          • 7 Years
          3 years, 4 months ago

          I suppose I could let him off with a warning.

            • 12 Years

            I never, ever, want you to let me off with a warning ha ha. I’ll make mine own way to the dungeon!

        new ligaments?

        1. Bluetiger1
          • 3 Years
          3 years, 4 months ago

          Just two GWs to WC - Haaland not playing in WC so will have additional time to rest - I'm going to keep in my squad & if needed assess during this period

      4. Noisy Neighbour
        • 13 Years
        3 years, 4 months ago

        He said it during the pre-match interview. Paraphrasing here but he said he recovered from the fever and the fatigue, but not the ligament.

    2. Deulofail
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Can't trust you on Pep news after yesterday 😀

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

      That's very offensive, how can you say that about him without knowing how he feels about it?

    4. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
      • 15 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      time to sell if true

    5. The Ilfordian
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      BBC Football Focus reporting it’s nothing serious, just precautionary. Probably wait for more news.

    6. Sun Jihai
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years

      “Neale, Watch the full press conference, not just the start. Pep said Haaland is "fit" and that Alvarez won't be needed to play striker this weekend” 😉

    Was intending to save and ended up taking a hit!

    Foden and solanke to martinelli and Darwin - 4

    Good luck all

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

      I intended hit for Darwin and KDB but ended up with saved transfer!

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

        Mad game we play!

  4. Babit1967
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    Haaland out means Kane VC & Andreas off the bench which is fine but getting Foden in recently is really frustrating .

    1. DARE TO BISCAN
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Same. Zaha needs to do something as well

  5. Letsgo!
    • 9 Years

    Cant wait to see lei thrash manc

    1. El Presidente
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Not happening

    2. Magic Zico
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      That's gonna be a very long wait indeed

  6. tbos83
    • 5 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    Have got Salah vc and Andreas off bench, which I'm sure will both me massive differential this week

  7. Digital-Real
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    Haaland ligament injury, can't see him play for the next two. Transfer out?

    1. El Presidente
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      I think it's wise to wait for more news no?

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

      Ligament injuries can vary. Luckily there is a UCL match & other pressers and another early KO where we may get more info.

      Literally no need to rush. There's no more expensive forward.

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

    Kane is my differential like pick in all 5 guys in front of me in ML. Today is my captain, lets go harry!

  9. The Mandalorian
    • 13 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    If Haaland has a ligament problem did he ever train? Feels like Pep lied.

    1. Scapegoat Salah
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Water is wet

  10. La Roja
    • 14 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola to BT Sport: "I haven't picked a penalty taker, we will see what happens."

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

      Ederson is due one!

    2. Scapegoat Salah
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Foden to come on for it confirmed!

    3. Cok3y5murf

      Cap

    4. Lingard’s Shin Guards
      • 7 Years

      1. Bluetiger1
        • 3 Years
        3 years, 4 months ago

        Fingers cross with no Haaland

  11. Rainer
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    A midweek trip to Barcelona to see Dr Cugat should sort Haaland's ligament out!

    1. Auntie Niemi
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      He'd be better off going to the placenta applying doctor.

  12. Lingard’s Shin Guards
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    give haaland some of zlatan's injections and get him on the pitch next week coach

  13. Mo Salah No Mane
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    So I tried to do Foden and Edouard to Alvarez and Zaha for a -4.
    The site froze 3 minutes too early. It didn't go through. Should I be happy or not?

    1. La Roja
      • 14 Years

      We demand free WC

      Cheers Firminoooooo. Scout beat me this week, owes that to the cat kicker

    2. Bluetiger1
      • 3 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Greats stats which shows how awkward the season has been overall -I'm just waiting for the WC to have a reboot & hope things will settle down

  15. Steve McCroskey
    • 12 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    Would love it if Leicester hammered City now, just to show up Pep

    1. Sandy Ravage
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      5% chance

  16. Sandy Ravage
    • 10 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    Hoping to finally get some Longstaff bench points

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

    Haaland and Foden to Kane and Almiron done

    1. Bluetiger1
      • 3 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Before cut off I hope?

  18. Sandy Ravage
    • 10 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    Martinelli (che) to Rashford (avl) -4

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

      Bit early to judge anything

    2. DARE TO BISCAN
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Doesn't float mah boat

    3. The Mentaculus
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Bit early for hits! Used FT already?!

    4. Sandy Ravage
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Don't fancy Saka & Martinelli getting much away at Chelsea

      1. Sandy Ravage
        • 10 Years
        3 years, 4 months ago

        on second thought...

  19. estheblessed
    • 11 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    Salah (vc) and Trossard off the bench :-/

    1. DARE TO BISCAN
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Seems fine

  20. Deulofail
    • 10 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    Improve this BB16 WC team.
    Was hoping to fit another United player in.

    Sanchez (Pickford)
    Cancelo Shaw Zouma (Gabriel White)
    KDB Antony Zaha Trossard (Xhaka)
    DCL Scamacca Alvarez

    6.0 ITB to play with!

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

      I like the idea of building to a bb 16 team and then having the “wild card”

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

        Thanks. I think I should improve on this WC team though

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

    Would really love Salah to be out somehow. That would be pretty crazy. I imagine lots of people with no captain if that happens.

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

      That's not being very generous to your fellow FPL managers .... I'm sure that you don't really mean it. Much. 😀

    2. FPL Brains
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Salah C, Wilson VC

      😉

    3. Scapegoat Salah
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Salah to be involved in 9 goals and absolute eruption of SCENES

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

      Love the world to burn

    5. FPL Daniel
      • 16 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      I have Kane vice

  22. Sun Jihai
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    If Wardversen owners get a CS here…

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

      In all the madness before deadline I forgot to play ward & bench fabianski
      Have fab playing as thought Leicester would get smashed

    2. Scapegoat Salah
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      The current trend suggests it’s odds on

  23. MR Penquin
    • 14 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    1.1 ITB

    ward to ?
    N. Williams to ?

      1. Scapegoat Salah
        • 9 Years
        3 years, 4 months ago

        No I’m just posting 2 hours early 🙂

  25. ViperStripes
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 16 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    If Foden doesn’t come on I’ll have Anderson vs Sou come on from my 2nd bench

  26. Shultan
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    My foden to Saka transfer at 10.57 went through!
    Realy hoping now foden doesn't haul off bench

    1. Scapegoat Salah
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Gonna do a Son with a 13 minute hatty!

    2. La Roja
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      I hope he does only cos of you sold him by being aware that he’d be on bench.

    3. Sun Jihai
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Mine too but regretting it a bit as Foden will come on and likely get something and has a better fixture than Saka next week. Problem with last minute decisions!

  27. Bishopool
    • 14 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    lol KDB is still passing to Haaland, but theres no Haaland

  28. Shark Team
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    Pep again with a bad lineup, Alvarez has nothing to offer in this City team he is so quiet get Foden in asap pls

    1. La Roja
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      It’s been 10 min, chill out

      1. Shark Team
        • 8 Years
        3 years, 4 months ago

        The last 2 UCL games of City I watched they didn’t manage to score Alvarez really quiet

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

          Alvarez played as a 10 against Dortmund, not exactly a normal role for him

  29. Jafooli
    • 14 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    Am I the only one with Haaland (c) & Foden?

    #baldfraud

    1. Oggle22
      • 9 Years

      What do you think? Whose your vice at least we don't have tonworry about a 10min cameo

      1. Jafooli
        • 14 Years

        Ward (VC)

  30. Dat Guy Welbz
    • 5 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    Can’t believe Haaland chickened out at the chance to play against Danny Ward.
