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.

    grealish is so bad

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

      Now Almiron can make Grealish comments

  3. ACCOUNTING ON CHRIS

    For the guy who was asking, yes Cancelo still gets punished for goals conceded even though he's not on the pitch.

  4. Pino
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    They said 3x City is a must have. If you are really unlucky you can get: Haaland 1p, Foden 1p and Cancelo(C) -4p.

      "My likely move is moving Saka to Foden. I don’t feel completely comfortable with the sale but getting another Man City attacker is essential."

    Cancelo can still gain (negative) points, if Fulham score more?

    1. Nanoelektronicar
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    7. OptimusBlack

      Yaaah

  6. Scots Gooner
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    Might just delete my team in the WC break

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

      Leaning that way rn

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

      Recommend it, I did it last season during the COVID postponement drama

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

      No need to delete, set up your team up with Haaland C Salah VC and just take a break for as long as you need.

  7. fantasist

    FPL managers avoiding taking a hit this GW

    Cancelo: hold my beer

    1. ACCOUNTING ON CHRIS
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      He's back next GW

      1. Gubby-Allen
        • 4 Years
        3 years, 5 months ago

        How?

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

          Cup game midweek?

          1. Gubby-Allen
            • 4 Years
            3 years, 5 months ago

            That doesn't matter with yellow cards, the ban is served in the same competition.

            If it is a red card, one match ban, maybe that is different then?

            Seems unfair, when he would not have played anyway.

  8. The Philosopher
    • 5 Years

    What is the meaning of life

    1. Berkshire Hafaway-Line
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      Do everything 15 minutes before you first intended.

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

        Yeah man, might just quit FPL a few years before I first intended as well at this rate

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

        Now he’s against 10 men, please do nothing more Trossard

  12. Red Star Toro
    • 11 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    Grealish so bad

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

      Yet Pep still starts him over Foden....

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

      He's probably drunk

  13. Gubby-Allen
    • 4 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    Bloke on the podcast said to sign Mitoma.

  14. Arteta
    • 10 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

  15. Gizzachance
    • 11 Years

  20. Joey Jo-Jo Junior Shabadoo
    • 5 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    Someone wanted a sub 5.0 recommendation on here and I offered Mitoma, Tavernier and Summerville. Actual good advice, maybe I'll give myself some this season.

    1. Deulofail
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      I think with Welbeck back, Mitoma was a good idea at best.

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

    Lapland wagon!

  22. Scalper
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    Lallana essential

  23. Total Foot 5
    • 12 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    Anyone captained cancelo, having trossard as option? If so curious rational

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

    VAR Pen check for Brentford. …… Toney … oh wait …

  26. BeaversWithAttitude
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    Lallana, is that you?

  27. Nanoelektronicar
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    And I brought Trossard in ....

    1. Feanor
      • 16 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      How do people care enough about FPL to follow the Scout twitter account, but not know that a red card is only a 3 match ban if it’s for a violent foul.

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

    Please save it Henderson, loves a penalty save

  29. SamH123
    • 13 Years
