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.

    ManCity-Fulham game has had two things i hate most in football. Short sleeve shirt and gloves combo, and managers who can't protect themselves properly from rain.

    1. Debauchy
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Hmmmmm ok

  4. Pep's Money Laundry

    1. AIRMILES
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Rare stuff indeed. All eight teams scoring in the first half!

  9. dansmusen

  10. Philosopher's Stones
    • 5 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    1. Philosopher's Stones
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Send 5 players off from every team. I want chaos!

  11. lilmessipran
    • 13 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    Trossard could have a feast now with Semedo red card

    1. A. PRISE
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      If anything, Wolves will play more cautiously which does not suit Trossard

  12. FOO FIGHTER
    • 6 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    City looking lost lol

  13. Total Foot 5
    • 12 Years

    1. Krafty Werks
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      No Trossard the rationale here!! Was bringing Leandro in but obv the FPL site crashed.

      1. WVA
        • 9 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        I actually brought trossard in but he's no showing in my team!

        1. Total Foot 5
          • 12 Years
          3 years, 1 month ago

          I have trossard. And today earky morning i went w/ the majority choice of cancelo C, wout thinking.

        2. Krafty Werks
          • 11 Years
          3 years, 1 month ago

          Well then you didn't?! Or the transfers didn't complete properly?

          1. WVA
            • 9 Years
            3 years, 1 month ago

            Thats the thing I did, not much i can do if the site doesnt complete it properly

  14. FPL Daniel
    • 16 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    Semedo red good for Trossard

  15. ACCOUNTING ON CHRIS
    • 12 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    I assume most here are having a depressing GW

    Haaland (c), Foden, Cancelo and Andreas second on the bench. Kill me

    1. AIRMILES
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Basically the same, except sold Andreas this week.

    2. Royal5
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Very

  16. Baines on Toast...
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 15 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    Andreas third sub but at least Cancelo isn’t vice captain. Hilarious afternoon so far

  17. Il Capitano
    • 5 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    Looks like the worst GW of the season is going to be followed up by the worst GW of the season

  18. FPL Daniel
    • 16 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    Getting Arsenal attack next week against this Wolfes squad for sure

    1. WVA
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Wolves have become the worst team in the league since i brought in Kilman

    2. Gubby-Allen
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Wait until Thursday though.

  19. Scapegoat Salah
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    Come Andreas, good opportunity for more goals here against 10 men

  20. Totalfootball
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    Trossard to score hatty vs 10 man wolves?

    1. Baines on Toast...
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      This wolves side are born to play with 10 men

  21. Baines on Toast...
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 15 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    Dean Henderson is one of the least likable players in the league. So full of himself.

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

      Him talking about how he should be England number 1 in an interview was pure Patrick Bateman vibes.

  22. WVA
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    How is it possible that I CONFIRMED my transfer of Foden to Trossard long before deadline but it hasn't gone through?

    1. Patio Kev
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Because you didn’t and then didn’t bother to check it had gone through ?

      1. WVA
        • 9 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        But I did, i literally clicked on confirm transfer (-4) and it loaded, couldn't check later as site was down

        1. Patio Kev
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 11 Years
          3 years, 1 month ago

          So you did it “long before the deadline” but then couldn’t check it because the site was down also “long before the deadline” ?

          1. WVA
            • 9 Years
            3 years, 1 month ago

            Yes, they move was confirmed before the deadline therefore it should have gone through, not difficult.

  23. Free Hat
    • 6 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    0 from 6,including cpt.

    • 16 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    Hate this game, switched KDB to Foden 3 weeks ago! Got Haaland C, and also Cancelo. Had to sell Toney due to suspension and also own Mitro! Oh and Kepa got injured last week and got 0 points. I was doing ok before this disaster

  25. FOO FIGHTER
    • 6 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    No cleanies for anyone yet. This is going to be a crazy points week again.

  27. Philosopher's Stones
