Gameweek 15 rolls on with the tea-time kick-off at the King Power Stadium, as champions Leicester City host Pep Guardiola’s Manchester City.

Both of these sides are in decline as a source of Fantasy talent, with the Foxes failing to attract interest all season with both Riyad Mahrez and Jamie Vardy unable to live up to the inflated prices following last season’s triumphs.

As for City, the capitulation of Sergio Aguero last weekend has certainly reduced our level of investment. However, Kelechi Iheanacho is again given the opportunity to deputise in the Argentine’s absence – he starts today having been drafted in by more than 210,000 Fantasy Premier League managers ahead of this morning’s deadline.

Elsewhere for City, there are further teamsheet surprises from Guardiola, who keeps both Raheem Sterling and Yaya Toure on the bench, with Ilkay Gundogan retaining a starting role.

Mark Mark created the beast. He's now looking to tame it.

      I like Llorente but next 2 away could be tough - WBA and Middlesbrough are decent at home. Carroll has the juicier fixtures short term, so I'd punt on him if he looks like starting against Burnley.

        Good shout

      Wasted if you play it then

  3. Lav

    Now 31 (-4) with 6 left and captain played. Not bad I guess. Haz, Firm, Kane, Costa, Vert, & Cedric too.

    If Stones wasn't English, his value would be 3-5 mil.

    1. Differentiator
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 5 days ago

      .3-.5 mil.

    2. El-Kloppico
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 5 days ago

      He wouldn't even be in PL.
      Maybe championship 🙂

    After a week of owning sanchez, suddenly i feel to sell him to fund in zlatan..

    i think am mad..

      Your bias is showing.

        • 13 Years
        9 years, 5 days ago

        That crystal palace fixture seems irresistible..i might just make the move after the spurs match

  6. LEEDSLEEDSLEEDS
    • 14 Years
    9 years, 6 days ago

    Minus 4 for Walcott to Sanchez, minus 8 for Aguero to dislocated shoulder, minus 12 for shoulder to 1 point rotation risk. Fuchs keeping a clean sheet the first time this century the week i lose him. Morphine please nurse...

      Haha. Stay strong.

    How many mids playing now for City? 7? 8, if you think Zabaleta is a mid. Just 3 more and Pep will get his wish.

    1. dhamphiir
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 5 days ago

      6

  8. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐

    Zabaleta playing as a winger

  9. RAFA THE GAFFA

    Who do you guys think is the best Austin replacement? Got 6.8m

    Thanks 🙂

    1. Davido989
      • 15 Years

      Iheanacho.

      1. Coaly
        • 13 Years
        9 years, 5 days ago

        Great one

    2. Chris_White
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 5 days ago

      Origi if he looks good tomorrow

    3. Spectrum-FFS Doubles Champ
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 5 days ago

      Debating the same myself

    4. Worzel Gummidge
        9 years, 5 days ago

        Nacho. Or you could spend 2 million less and get Anichebe who gets you double the points.

      • Camp No No
        • 12 Years
        9 years, 5 days ago

        Origi, if you don't already have three from Liverpool. In that case, get Anichebe and invest the 2m elsewhere.

      • Fred54
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 5 days ago

        This 3rd striker list is very hot and differential. Could make and break your team over this period.

        My personal list is:
        Origi
        Llorente
        Rondon

        Still none the wiser.

        • 13 Years
        9 years, 6 days ago

        City a shoo in for the title they said

        Pep worlds best manager they said

        1. Wilshere Knowledge
          • 12 Years
          9 years, 5 days ago

          The latter is still true.

          1. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
            • 15 Years
            9 years, 5 days ago

            No it's not

        2. Forza
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 11 Years
          9 years, 5 days ago

          7 points from 1st with over half the season left, I said

        3. George Sillett
          • 10 Years
          9 years, 5 days ago

          Who said precisely ?

          1. Coaly
            • 13 Years
            9 years, 5 days ago

            Everyone

            1. George Sillett
              • 10 Years
              9 years, 5 days ago

              You poor deluded soul , I actually think you believe this too . I didn't.

      • ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
        • 15 Years

        This is pathetic from pep, throwing the ball in the box and nobody in there

        1. Spectrum-FFS Doubles Champ
          • 14 Years
          9 years, 5 days ago

          Pep taking the throw ins surely isn't allowed

          • 13 Years

          Can't believe it, he keeps launching long balls in from his technical area, horrible to see..

      • Liastro ⭐️
        • 13 Years

        So glad I didn't waste a hit on Iheanacho. #nohitsfortheseason

        This Iheanacho flash bandwagon has been the most entertaining i have ever witnessed in the history of fpl

        It was like that episode of the Simsons when Gabo was coming

        1. Spectrum-FFS Doubles Champ
          • 14 Years
          9 years, 5 days ago

          It's not a patch on the Bosselli wagon

        2. The Fantastic Mr Fox
          • 11 Years
          9 years, 5 days ago

          It was an Aguero replacement. Not exactly a bandwagon

      • Bleach †
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 6 days ago

        Pure genius. 3-0 down. Better play without striker and start bombing balls to the box.

        1. Coaly
          • 13 Years

          Classic Pep

        Decided to play Friend ahead of Amat last minute. Really hope he doesn't play now! 😀

      • Bubz
        • 12 Years
        9 years, 6 days ago

        cannot actually believe Fuchs is going to get a clean sheet vs Man City. This is just beyond a joke.

        1. Bleach †
          • 9 Years
          9 years, 5 days ago

          FPL should ask 'Are you sure' 3 times before confirming it.

          You & Fuchs. Sorry but it is a bit funny 😆

      • Limited & Mediocre Mana…
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 6 days ago

        Iheanacho was a great shout... if Pep wasn't the manager. Dropped the ball on that one, woops. Wonder if I can get away with leaving him for WAT...
