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.

    Life as a Fuchs owner.....

  2. Je suis le chat
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 6 days ago

    Phew, glad Fuchs didn't troll me from the bench. Is he worth keeping for gw16?

    1. Bubz
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 6 days ago

      no

    2. sminkypinky
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 6 days ago

      What do you think? Impressive displays?

    3. Arteta
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 6 days ago

      If you are masochist then yes.

      1. Je suis le chat
        • 12 Years
        9 years, 6 days ago

        2 points is a marked improvement on his previous games. bou away might be tasty.

  3. Coaly
    • 13 Years
    9 years, 6 days ago

    Any Stones owners care to express their views on him in one word?

    1. Top 210 Club
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 6 days ago

      He went two weeks ago after he didn't start a second game in succession

    2. Over Midwicket
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 6 days ago

      Rancid

      1. Coaly
        • 13 Years
        9 years, 6 days ago

        😀

    3. HNI
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 6 days ago

      Manutd going for Bailly instead of Stones wasnt a bad decision after all..We only judge book by its cover most times..

    4. Fowler23
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 6 days ago

      I'm keeping lol
      More pressing issues

    5. French Gooner
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 6 days ago

      joke

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

    Lolarov. Trolalov.

  5. Danstoke82
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 6 days ago

    Eriksen or Siggy?

    1. EmreCan Hustle
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 6 days ago

      Siggy.

    2. Top 210 Club
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 6 days ago

      Siggy and son/Antonio for value during fixtures

    3. Smoky Johnson
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 6 days ago

      Siggy. Cheaper. On Pens. On Corners. On Free-kicks.

    4. Arteta
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 6 days ago

      Gilfy. Having him in your team is pure joy.

      1. Top 210 Club
        • 15 Years
        9 years, 6 days ago

        What a pleasure

        1. Danstoke82
          • 11 Years
          9 years, 6 days ago

          Even though Eriksen has a few plum home fixtures?

    5. Fred54
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 6 days ago

      Eriksen for the next two.

  6. Fred54
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 6 days ago

    I've never owned Fuchs or Stones this season. 🙂

    1. Ógie
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 6 days ago

      I bet you always look both ways when you cross the road too?

  7. Davido989
    • 15 Years
    9 years, 6 days ago

    Stones cost 50x more than Matip

    Matip = 0
    Stones = 50

    0 x 50 = 0

    Stones is a bargain confirmed.

    1. Top 210 Club
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 6 days ago

      U sir, are deserving of the noble prize =)

    2. HNI
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 6 days ago

      Same comparison can be done on Cost of Vardy to LEI vs Cost of Caroll to Liv...But we cant as every team plays differently and players gel rarely in right mould

    3. sminkypinky
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 6 days ago

      lol

    4. Camp No No
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 6 days ago

      The first premise is wrong though.

    5. El-Kloppico
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 6 days ago

      More than Matip and Milner combined, and the formula remains the same. 🙂

  8. HNI
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 6 days ago

    So Illheancho was a bad move or he can start vs Watford?

    1. Geoff
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 6 days ago

      Good move, or at least decent.

      It was always a risk

      Just didn't come off

    2. Valencia's Left Foot
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 6 days ago

      He can, probably won't.

  9. Jönny
    • 16 Years
    9 years, 6 days ago

    Can't quite work out if I'm happy with 34, including bonus and an 8point hit, with Mane (c), Costa, Kane and Redmond to go...

    I guess not amazing, not terrible?

    1. Geoff
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 6 days ago

      Pretty great this week I think

    2. sminkypinky
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 6 days ago

      Decent

    3. Wilshere Knowledge
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 6 days ago

      Should be a green arrow, unless Hazard goes mental.

    4. Jönny
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 6 days ago

      And with that Fuchs goal conceded, I've just about justified my AOA chip: Anichebe got 2 points 😆

      1. Camp No No
        • 12 Years
        9 years, 6 days ago

        If you win a point with it, it was well played.

  10. Bolivian Seaman
    • 15 Years
    9 years, 6 days ago

    Amat, stones, fuchs - I was lucky to get a cleansheet. I think I need to buy a defender

    1. Je suis le chat
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 6 days ago

      Just replace Stones with Holeobas and you have the holy trinity!

  11. Geoff
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • Has Moderation Rights
    • 13 Years
    9 years, 6 days ago

    Playing Capoue instead of a hit for Defoe or Ihea and getting the Amat clean sheet make this potentially a great week for me

  12. Mílanista
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    9 years, 6 days ago

    I almost got Fuchs a few weeks ago. Got his clean sheet destroyer instead 😛

    1. Mull
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 6 days ago

      Kolagod is back!

  13. sminkypinky
    • 14 Years
    9 years, 6 days ago

    Main rivals went for Origi and Nacho. I avoided the hit and stuck with Austin. Escaped one of them. Phew...

    1. Karan_G14
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 6 days ago

      Same here.

      Hopefully someone comes up tomorrow.

  14. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
    • 15 Years
    9 years, 6 days ago

    City just look clueless

    1. Fred54
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 6 days ago

      Bravo one save away from save point.

    2. Kalou
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 6 days ago

      Brendan Rogers arrival imminent..

      1. Camp No No
        • 12 Years
        9 years, 6 days ago

        If cluelessness is the way they've chosen

  15. Karan_G14
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 6 days ago

    City still have to play Pool & City.
    Could be dropping out of the Top 4 soon!

    1. Mark-O
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 6 days ago

  23. TokyoRisingSun
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 6 days ago

    Odds are that there's one person in the world who's triple captained Vardy this week..

    1. Camp No No
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 6 days ago

      His wife probably did.

  24. Mark-O
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 6 days ago

    Austin to Vardy?

  25. Carlton P
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 6 days ago

    Was all set for wally + holebas > can + Alonso, may have to rethink now
