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

    It’s ironic that Haaland fit all season until he went back to Dortmund

    If Ward kept a clean sheet every game from now til the end of the season. What would his finishing price be?

    1. Bishopool
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      surely depends on transfers

      1. Scapegoat Salah
        • 9 Years
        3 years, 5 months ago

        What do you mean

      2. FPL Emu
        • 15 Years
        3 years, 5 months ago

      1. Scapegoat Salah
        • 9 Years

  5. Rainer
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    Kane's EO is going to be in and around 100%...

    1. Scapegoat Salah
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

  6. FPL Emu
    • 15 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    Going Iversen over Ward didn't exactly pan out as I expected it to

    1. Scapegoat Salah
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      Still got both!

    2. Sun Jihai
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      Saved 0.1m!

  7. Original Sin
    • 11 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    I want the score to be 0-0 until half time, then Pep will definitely bring in Foden

    1. BobbyDoesNotLook
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

  8. Dat Guy Welbz

  12. La Roja
    • 14 Years

    Ward is having a blinder

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

      Not quite sure I'd call a few routine saves a blinder, although for him I suppose it is

  13. Santi sensei
    • 12 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    Ward has been immense since we sold him on WC!

    1. Rainer
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      Since his fixtures got easier..

  14. ClassiX

    Do keeper saves contribute to BPS, even if the goal attempt was from an offside position?

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

      No imo

      1. ClassiX
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 7 Years

        Thanks

    2. BobbyDoesNotLook
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      Nope. Same as goals, does not count.

      1. ClassiX
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 5 months ago

        Cheers

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

    Grealish should start playing like Almiron

  16. Sim Simma
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 15 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    Shouldn't have benched Ward.CS and save points in the bag

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

    If Ward continues to make 3 saves every 15 minutes and doesn’t concede, he will end the match with 15 points.

  18. mdm
    • 14 Years

    Ward up for a monster score here

  19. Shark Team
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    Do you think Leicester will touch the ball in opposition half before HT?

  23. BobbyDoesNotLook
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years
