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.

    Hard to say if playing with 10 makes it more or less likely Haaland will come on

    1. jacob1989
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      He has to come on. Man C cant drop points against fulham to stay in the total race

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

      Much more likely, but even more so for Foden coming on.

      You must realised by now that the opposite of what you say happens.

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

        It has to change at some point Hazz.

      2. Scapegoat Salah

  13. Lieutenant Frank Columbo
    • 14 Years

    Henderson needs to zip it …

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

      A braver ref would have sent him off there.

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

        Agreed … he’d have deserved it too.

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

      were you finding it quite easy up to the city vs arsenal blank?

      I have a feeling that a lot of players who did well early on really suffered after that point

      1. Athletic Nasherbo
        • 9 Years
        3 years, 5 months ago

        Completely.

        Played my wildcard early.

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