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.

    2 GW time Palace v Chelsea. Mmmmmm

  2. Jonny Sutt
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 5 days ago

    A)can
    B) Allen

    Any why please

    1. Jonny Sutt
      • 11 Years

      A

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

        Fixtures and goal threat

    3. phace
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 5 days ago

      Allen's more attacking than Can is whilst playing in a Stoke team that's pretty garbage elsewhere, but Liverpool have a good run of fixtures coming up. Coin toss really.

  3. Twisted Saltergater
    • 16 Years
    9 years, 5 days ago

    I dont understand the Walcott out transfers. He's not the most intelligent footballer but the guy scores goals.

    1. Captain Vantastic™
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 5 days ago

      He's a bargain at that price IMO.

      1. Captain Vantastic™
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        9 years, 5 days ago

        Looking to get him in after next two.

        1. Twisted Saltergater
          • 16 Years
          9 years, 5 days ago

          Seeing how Vardy exploited their defence, I have concerns that he might be given midweek off so his pace can be used against City.

    2. diesel001
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 5 days ago

      Siggy, Firmino, Hazard, Sanchez will all outscore him IMO. Can't have them all.

    3. Patio Kev
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 5 days ago

      I have avoided Arsenal, not because of their players quality but just due to rotation risks.

      Unlike last season they have real strength in depth available across the whole midfield, am sure Wenger will rotate and at this time of year I want nailed on players like Siggy.

  4. Mind över Mata
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    9 years, 5 days ago

    Best Austin replacements under 7.2m?

    A) Origi
    B) Carroll
    C) Someone else?

    1. Geoff
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 5 days ago

      I'll add Llorente to this

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

      Wait until tomorrow? Could give you an idea

      1. Mind över Mata
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        9 years, 5 days ago

        Definitely, no move tonight

      2. Flynny
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 5 days ago

        Also looking....

        Let's see how origi does tomo..

        Can't see carroll playing every game....

        Thinking llorente

    3. Viprin
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 5 days ago

      Assess after end of this gameweek

  5. JAC THE CAT
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 5 days ago

    Llorente now a decent option?

    I've still got Austin with no funds ITB

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

      I think so mate...

    2. rocky7st
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 5 days ago

      Looks a great option at that price

    3. ryacoo
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 5 days ago

      I have 6.5 for a replacement - gotta be Llorente or Carroll really.

  6. Smelbow
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 5 days ago

    Gone from top 10k to 210k in the last 3 weeks.

    47 from 6 today should see me bounce a fairway back up right?

    1. Adam West - Team Serbia for…
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 5 days ago

      Use the fantasy football fix rank predictor

    2. jungle
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 5 days ago

      yeah that's a great score today

  7. The Enlightener
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 5 days ago

    Got what I deserved today for the rather punty Iheanacho captaincy. Especially given the state that City are in right now. Not wise at all.

    1. HVT
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 5 days ago

      Unlucky mate, you win dons you lose some.

      1. The Enlightener
        • 12 Years
        9 years, 5 days ago

        True enough! Chin up. Quick GW turnaround is nice.

  8. Sancidino
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 5 days ago

    Should I do Chamberlain and Mustafi out for Barragan and Sigurdsson right now for -4? Thanks

    1. Styles_X
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 5 days ago

      Yes

  9. Kalou
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 5 days ago

    Nacho and Firmino to Costa and Can-4 hit?
    A.yes
    B.no

    1. Sancidino
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 5 days ago

      I would wait to see if Costa gets a suspension

  10. Styles_X
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 5 days ago

    Monitor KdB for one more gw or get Sanchez if he rises before deadline?

  11. TorresMagic™
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • Has Moderation Rights
    • 16 Years
    9 years, 5 days ago

    Red arrow 🙁

    1. PvA
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 5 days ago

      Above the top10k average though?

      1. TorresMagic™
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • Has Moderation Rights
        • 16 Years
        9 years, 5 days ago

        Still red.

    2. Jazz!
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 5 days ago

      Same, so far. A lot to go though.

      1. TorresMagic™
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • Has Moderation Rights
        • 16 Years
        9 years, 5 days ago

        No captain is an issue.
        Might sneak through FFS Cup at least.

    3. Swan - Villa Proud
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 5 days ago

      Same. But Firmino (C) to the rescue

    4. tm245
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 5 days ago

      How did you do today?

      1. TorresMagic™
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • Has Moderation Rights
        • 16 Years
        9 years, 5 days ago

        32(-8)
        6 left

        1. tm245
          • 14 Years
          9 years, 5 days ago

          Points on the board at least. The great thing about a hit is you pay for it on the first day of the GW and then get the profit on the next day.

          1. TorresMagic™
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • Has Moderation Rights
            • 16 Years
            9 years, 5 days ago

            Iheanacho is now an issue if he wasn't already.

            1. tm245
              • 14 Years
              9 years, 5 days ago

              Tough one, I held off on Austin out and might take a loss tonight if he drops so I can get out of the price bracket altogether. Nobody filling me with confidence below 9m besides Defoe.

        2. JJJ
          • 10 Years
          9 years, 5 days ago

          not bad......

      • 14 Years

      gabriel probably a decent option. angel gabriel for christmas and all that. possible good omens....

  14. phace
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 5 days ago

    Thanks to the lads who advised me on bringing in Alonso at the back instead of forcing Iheanacho into my team, much love, saved me a huge headache 😀

  15. Stats Don\'t Lie
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 5 days ago

    This is why I never rated Pep

  16. grooveymatt65
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 5 days ago

    guys i have a question.... my gf has austin but wants to get rid, now who do you think is the best option? she has 2.7 itb

    A. Llorente

    C. other?

    thanks just need a second opinion 🙂

    1. EmreCan Hustle
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 5 days ago

      Defoe or Benteke.

    2. Mr_Majestyk
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 5 days ago

      maybe Carroll? wait until after tomorrow's fixtures

  17. Dacra
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 5 days ago

    Austin to Ihancho for a - 4 instead of playing Amat from bench.

    Bye bye top 10k.

  18. PvA
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 5 days ago

    Green arrows are nice

    1. EmreCan Hustle
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 5 days ago

      What's a green arrow score at the 150k mark? Any idea?

      1. TorresMagic™
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • Has Moderation Rights
        • 16 Years
        9 years, 5 days ago

        28 or so

        1. EmreCan Hustle
          • 13 Years
          9 years, 5 days ago

          Cheers.

          32(-4), so just about there. Lol

    2. topgolfer48
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 5 days ago

      New to this , green and red arrows are what and where ?

  19. Cubillas
    • 14 Years
    9 years, 5 days ago

    Fer has played full games in about 90% of Swans' matches this season. However, he didn't even play even 1 minute today.

    Has he fallen out of favor with Bradley, or was he injured?

  20. Shultan
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 5 days ago

    Why is everyone selling iheanacho & not letting him get his price rise

    1. Dacra
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 5 days ago

      Still being bought according to FFFix?

  21. King H
    • 14 Years
    9 years, 5 days ago

    Ghost teams with vardy captain will fuch this game week right up

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

      Nobody ever captained Vardy

  22. camarozz
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 5 days ago

    I for one am bringing Llorente in tonight for Austin.. Guess he'll start most games over Xmas and they are top of season ticker for foreseeable future. Who's with me??

    1. diesel001
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 5 days ago

      Between Llorente and Carroll for me. Going to see what Andy does tomorrow.

      1. Mr_Majestyk
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 5 days ago

        this

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

      It's him or a punt on Carroll for me. Next 2 away games for Swansea put me off.

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

      3rd striker position for me is hotly contested and of course an excellent shot at a diff.

      My contenders are:

      Llorente
      Origi
      Carroll
      Rondon

      I was looking at Llorente but Swans have poor away fixtures in next two, but just go Rondon...

  23. Brian (Not the Messiah)
    • 16 Years
    9 years, 5 days ago

    Is Hennessy nailed on? Sure he plays for palace, but he's only 4.3

    1. PvA
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 5 days ago

      I wouldn't say so with Mandanda

    2. diesel001
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 5 days ago

      Yes - Mandanda injured

    3. Brian (Not the Messiah)
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 5 days ago

      is anyone under 4.5 besides pickford worth a look?

  24. Styles_X
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 5 days ago

    Allen looked good today. Trade him for Zaha/Can or hold?

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

      Saha advocate here, but depends on AFCON

    2. LE GOD(C)-AMERICAN DYCHO-(1…
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 5 days ago

      Probably hold tbh

  25. rdamjan
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 5 days ago

    Its madness not getting Siggy tonight? I have KDB, Firmino, Eriksen and Walcott. KDB (WAT) to Siggy (wba) could not end well. What are you doin with KDB?

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

      Do not move a muscle.

    2. Az
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 5 days ago

      They have wba (a) and mid (a)... good games on paper but quite stubborn defences. I wouldn't tear up your team to get him in - i'm not.

    3. Pipermaru
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 5 days ago

      I think I'm selling for Payet after Sunday games...he's world class but as a fantasy manager I don't have time to wait for Pep sorting his team and experiments...oh, and rotation. Not really sure is he gonna play with Watford

      1. rdamjan
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 5 days ago

        He will not play after 2 defeats? I dont bellieve this is an option. Tomorrow I will consider KDB ---> Alli (I have Eriksen and Kane). I think Siggy is a trap against wba and mid:)

    4. Worzel Gummidge
        9 years, 5 days ago

        I would drop KDB for Siggy and upgrade Walcott to Sanchez in a heartbeat.

        1. rdamjan
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 11 Years
          9 years, 5 days ago

          Thats good but I still have Austin in my team.

    5. LE GOD(C)-AMERICAN DYCHO-(1…
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 5 days ago

      Need to get rid of Mustafi ➡

      A - Toby
      B - Walker
      C - Rose
      D - Valencia

      Which one do you guys think will be the better buy?

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

        S

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

          * A

      2. Blanka
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 5 days ago

        Valencia. 5.4 gets forward and great fixtures upcoming.

      3. Moves like Dejagah
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 5 days ago

        Probably A least likely to get rotated and loves a headed goal.

      4. LE GOD(C)-AMERICAN DYCHO-(1…
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 5 days ago

        Cheers fellas

      5. Mr_Majestyk
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 5 days ago

        what about Gabriel?

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

      I'm on 29 -8.
      Alonso,Costa,Haz(C),firmino, Kane to go.
      All I need is Chelsea big win tomorrow and should have a green arrow aftr 4 straight reds.??

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

        No

      2. diesel001
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 5 days ago

        29 (-12).
        Alonso, Costa, Hazard, Firmino, Kane and De Roon to go.
        Sanchez (c) was a let down today.

    7. PvA
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 5 days ago

      I did better when I was using the ownership tactic

      1. Ayew Serious
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 5 days ago

        Link you team

    8. rocky7st
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 5 days ago

      Worth doing de Roon to Can pending tomorrow matches? Would giving me the benching headache although I do have Origi too.

    9. Kibas
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 5 days ago

      Yay or Nay

      Defoe to Benteke?
