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

    Currently wishing I started Ward. Three saves made already.

      Same, in all the deadline madness I left fabianski in my starting 11 but with no haaland & foden would rather have played ward

    Very well played to those who picked Ward and Leicester defs, nailed CS and bonus, enjoy the haul and celebrations like it’s 1999…..

    This FPL crap doesn’t feel like worth the hassle anymore. Not had much fun with it for years. It’s just become an annoyance.

      The game has gone. Social media, EO, Patreon, Pro Pundits, team leaks...

      1. Jafooli

        This used to be community with lots of insight. This site has gone aswell.

        Algorithms, price prediction sites, upside chasing, 5 sub rule....

        Team leaks have always been around. Don’t be a baby.

      The game is negatively oriented, it's not about the good things you did but it's more about the mistakes.

      1. Mr. O'Connell
        • 13 Years
        3 years, 5 months ago

        Lol @ Haaland cappers

      2. Jafooli
        • 14 Years
        3 years, 5 months ago

        Yep, this…..EO is total BS…

    3. Ray Kinsella
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      cheer up. it'll soon be christmas

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

        Bah humbug….

  5. Scapegoat Salah

    That’s it enough, blow the whistle ref, full time thanks

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

    Foden on by 30 mins at this rate!

    1. The Train Driver
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      Pep to stubborn to admit a mistake, won't come on until after 60.

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

        Stubbornness soon becomes desperation!

  7. Digital-Real
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    Smash and grab coming up from Leicester

  8. gooberman
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    Foden is really now not an option after the world cup you would think. Just cant justify having an 8m player who has been benched for 2 games in a row when not injured. Even when he does play he gets subbed off early.

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

    I don't under logic/rational of people who do transfers as soon as GW starts!
    5K already transfered out haaland & 3K kane in
    Kane has 2 matches to go before GW15, haaland could be fit for GW15.
    Why not wait?

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

      They think they’ll get Kane pts this GW maybe? Or they transfer out of rage ?

    2. Santi sensei

      1 week teams

      1. Ray Kinsella
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        3 years, 5 months ago

        i used to do that, this season i've waited and i'm up to top 35k in the game! patience truly is virtue.

    3. Pitch Perfect
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      Is called being 'on tilt'. That or not understanding how price rises work.

    4. The Mentaculus
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      Don't let Virg catch a glimpse of your grav

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

      Kane offers differential points, Haaland doesn’t

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

        I'm not questioning the transfer of haaland > Kane just the timing?
        Why do it now, what if Kane gets injured v Bournemouth or midweek.

        1. The Mentaculus
          • 4 Years
          3 years, 5 months ago

          I guess there's enough people out there who can't be bothered checking injury updates, just see Haaland out and act right away. And assume Kane plays every game

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

          I actually genuinely believe there are people out there that read the deadline the wrong way round and associate that time as being when they can’t start making transfers

    6. DycheDycheBaby
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      One word. Casuals.

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

    Barnes almost . Would’ve been Vardy assist

  11. Ze_Austin
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    What a ball

  12. The Train Driver
    • 10 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    Can't see Alvarez playing the full game and only semi-natural replacement there is Foden.

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

      KDB false nine ?

  13. Silecro
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    Which combo sounds more appealing to you?

    A) Almiron and Vardy
    B) Barnes and Wilson

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

      Almiron with anyone

    2. Shultan
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      Alison over Barnes but not with vardy

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

        *almiron

      2. Silecro
        • 8 Years
        3 years, 5 months ago

        Vardy can be some other fwd up to 9.9 not named toney

  14. JohnnyCroat

    3 years, 5 months ago

    I probably started Guaita... but Ward is on my bench in case of shenanigans. My team was set days ago because I was going to be away.

  15. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐

    Ward max BAPs

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

    Ward caught save. Good for bonus

  18. Pointless
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    Here’s hoping Foden doesn’t come on and block the Neco Williams clean sheet and assist from my bench!

  19. Scapegoat Salah

    I'll find it hard to cope if I benched another Ward haul..!

  27. Scapegoat Salah
