The Manchester City centre-back can be a huge differential for managers in Fantasy following his recent return to fitness.

Both of Laporte's starts this season have been in the previous two Gameweeks, including a clean sheet against Leicester City last weekend.

Due to his period on the sidelines, Laporte is owned by only 0.4 per cent of squads ahead of a favourable schedule for Man City.

Back-to-back home matches against Fulham and Brentford gives him the chance to deliver big hauls before the season breaks for the FIFA World Cup after Gameweek 16.

Laporte produced the second-best season of his career in Fantasy last term, earning 160 points thanks to four goals, two assists and 18 clean sheets.

The underlying numbers highlight his attacking potential for the champions.

His totals of 32 shots in the box and seven big chances both placed second among defenders in 2021/22 Fantasy. 

Laporte has been quick to replicate that threat this season, with his three shots and three shots in the box over Gameweeks 13 and 14 the highest by any Man City defender.

Indeed, the latter total placed second among all defenders, bettered only by the four of West Ham United's Kurt Zouma (£4.5m).

Combined with his prospects for clean sheets, Laporte could prove an overlooked gem for managers over the next two Gameweeks.
