Gameweek 15 of Fantasy Premier League (FPL) gets underway at 15:00 GMT this afternoon and there’s only one place to start with the team news.

Manchester City v Fulham is the headline act from a Fantasy perspective and there are notable benchings and omissions on both sides at the Etihad.

Erling Haaland is fit enough to return to the hosts’ matchday squad but is only among the substitutes, where he will warm the bench alongside Phil Foden.

The two starting centre-backs in midweek, Ruben Dias and Aymeric Laporte, are also benched.

There are, in fact, eight changes from the team that defeated Sevilla in midweek, with Ilkay Gundogan, Jack Grealish and Julian Alvarez the only ones to keep their places.

Fulham boss Marco Silva has made three alterations, all of them enforced.

Aleksandar Mitrovic is suffering from ankle pain, Bobby Decordova-Reid is suspended and Neeskens Kebano is out for several months after rupturing his Achilles.

Carlos Vinicius, Kenny Tete and Harry Wilson come into the side.

The other matches getting underway at the traditional kick-off time are Leeds United v Bournemouth, Nottingham Forest v Brentford and Wolverhampton Wanderers v Brighton and Hove Albion.

Leeds are unsurprisingly unchanged after their Gameweek 14 heroics at Anfield, while the only tweak for the Cherries sees Ryan Fredericks oust Jordan Zemura.

Brentford’s two changes are enforced, as Keane Lewis-Potter and Mads Roerslev come in for the injured Kristoffer Ajer and the suspended Ivan Toney.

Steve Cooper has responded to Nottingham Forest’s 5-0 defeat to Arsenal by recalling Neco Williams, Brennan Johnson and Emmanuel Dennis.

Jesse Lingard, Renan Lodi and Taiwo Awoniyi all drop to the bench.

At Molineux, visitors Brighton are unchanged from their 4-1 win over Chelsea.

Caretaker Wolves boss Steve Davis makes three changes from last weekend, having his hand forced with two of them.

Hwang Hee-Chan replaces the suspended Diego Costa up top, while Joao Moutinho comes in for the injured Matheus Nunes.

Winger Adama Traore drops to the bench as Goncalo Guedes returns to the starting XI.

    FPL is over rated anyway...

        Oooh thank you!

    2. The Philosopher
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      Already a better game than FPL, as it won't crash mid game.

  3. BeaversWithAttitude
    • 7 Years

    Neves, you menace!

  4. Sherif halawa
    • 7 Years

  5. Fodderx4
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    Haaland and Foden on at half time? leaked half time subbie news on Instagram at 15.50.

  6. Saïss Doesn't Mat…

  7. The Senate
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    Making the ‘right’ decisions of captaining Kane in 14 and Cancelo in 15 has backfired massively

  8. dshv
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    Put haaaland and foden in

    1. Sgt. Schultz
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      Will do

  9. banskt
    • 12 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    Haaland(c). Alvarez(vc). KDB. Mitrovic.

    Pereira first on bench.

    Not sure how to feel about this game.

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

      Well you're getting Pereira in for Mitro.

      Haaland will come on.

      1. banskt
        • 12 Years
        3 years, 5 months ago

        Want Haaland to remain on bench as well.

        The way this gameweek is going, I will prefer those captaincy points from Alvarez.

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

          Oh definitely but can't see it happening, Pep will want to give him a little run out if he can

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

    How many games does Cancelo miss?

    1. TomSaints
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      3

      1. Pukki Party
        • 8 Years
        3 years, 5 months ago

        No just 1 as not violent?

        1. TomSaints
          • 8 Years
          3 years, 5 months ago

          My bad, I thought 3 for straight red professional foul

    2. Lieutenant Frank Columbo
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      He’s out for a month and a half.

    3. Camzy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      Just 1. It was DOGSO.

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

        And can that be the EFL cup game so back for GW16?

        1. Camzy
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 15 Years
          3 years, 5 months ago

          Actually, yeah, you're right...

          I think he can serve his suspension midweek.

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

            That would be good - otherwise would have been tempting for a one week punt on TAA/Robbbo

  11. TomSaints
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    Salah going to haul now…

  12. Lieutenant Frank Columbo
    • 14 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    Well, the crash means I at least have two transfers next week … wasn’t thinking I’d have to be looking at Cancelo …

  13. Nuka Girl
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    I had 3 of my 4 players in the Man City - Fulham game not on the pitch.
    Now my 4th, and Captain, is not on the pitch either. 🙁

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

      I have Andreas 3rd on the bench

      1. Nuka Girl
        • 9 Years
        3 years, 5 months ago

        Me too. Oh dear.

  14. Count of Monte Hristo
    • 12 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    Cancelo > TAA done.

    F this game.

    1. TheBiffas
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      Already got him, no clue what I'm gonna do

    2. dunas_dog
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      But does he not serve ban midweek v Chelsea and play next week v Brentford ?

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

      TAA is a horrible pick

  23. SomeoneKnows
    • 10 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

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

      Marco Silva has confirmed that Aleksandar Mitrović wasn't in condition to be involved today due to ankle pain, but believes the situation isn't serious.

    • 6 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    Anyone know how many have Haaland (c) and Cancelo (vc)?
    Wanna see if it's beneficial for Haaland to come on.

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

  26. Scapegoat Salah

    A Neco clean sheet with him guaranteed to come off my bench would be dreamboat worthy

    1. SAKA AND EMILE SMITH ROWE
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      Started him, hoping for a CS + bps

      1. Scapegoat Salah
