Fantasy managers have three matches to feast their eyes on today before the international break is upon us. Up first, Spurs welcome Liverpool to the Lane as Mauricio Pochettino’s side attempt to pick up a third straight win under the new man in charge.

A host of players from both sides are on the radar this afternoon, with Christian Eriksen, Erik Lamela, Nacer Chadli and Emmanuel Adebayor key to the hosts’ chances of avenging the 5-0 humiliation that led to Andre Villas-Boas’ departure last year. Liverpool are poised for a superb run of fixtures after this match and while Daniel Sturridge and Raheem Sterling are the obvious targets, Mario Balotelli’s display will be eagerly analysed.

Villa and Hull go head-to-head in the other 1.30pm kick-off, with Paul Lambert’s side seeking a third successive shut-out before the fixtures take a real turn for the worse.

In the final match of the Gameweek, Leicester entertain Arsenal at 4pm. Aaron Ramsey rolls up to the King Power Stadium looking to net for the third successive league match, whilst Alexis Sanchez is also finding his form – having scored the winner against Besiktas in midweek, the Chilean’s confidence is on the rise.

Paul Is certain he won't make the same mistakes next season. Follow them on Twitter

    Studge is not a team player. He literally doesn't look up when he gets the ball ever!

    1. Jimbo123
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 4 months ago

      Makes him a great fantasy prospect

      1. Ady87
        • 12 Years
        11 years, 4 months ago

        Goals almost as good as assists for forwards and when Sterling is busting a gut and a pass is on he should be making it!

    2. Frank Black
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 4 months ago

      He delivered assist for anybody today, lol!

    3. Rupert The Horse
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years

      He assisted the assister twice.

    Villa defender owners, you'll never see a clean sheet again this side of Christmas.

      I think the foxes will upset Arsenal

      1. Mr_Partridge
        • 11 Years
        11 years, 4 months ago

        Because you support Chelsea. What a surprise

      2. Wej
        • 13 Years

        Nice insight

        You're an upset

      5. Debauchy
        • 12 Years
        11 years, 4 months ago

        It is not impossible . They have looked good going forward . Were unlucky not to get 1 or 2 against Chelsea also. Arse need an early goal then all good

      6. Elniñorules
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        11 years, 4 months ago

        I think it will end up 1-1

        1. 7shadesofsmoke
          • 12 Years

          haha

    • palace ash

      11 years, 4 months ago

      Having Sturridge seems like a waste of time.

    • Bod
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 4 months ago

      Hull you beauty's, that'll serve my rival right for doubling up on Villa defence

      #Arsenal team to play Leicester City: Szczesny, Debuchy, Mertesacker, Koscielny, Monreal, Flamini, Ramsey, Cazorla, Ozil, Alexis, Sanogo

      1. Ludo
        • 12 Years

    • Mr. Mystic
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 4 months ago

      The question is:

      Eriksen -> Sterling or Mata -> Sterling?

      1. Pork Pie Sausage Roll
        • 15 Years
        11 years, 4 months ago

        Eriksen

      2. FplMagician
        • 11 Years
        11 years, 4 months ago

        Toss a coin

      3. fedolefan
        • 11 Years
        11 years, 4 months ago

        Eriksen -> Sterling

      4. Matakuko
        • 14 Years
        11 years, 4 months ago

        easy. Eriksen

      5. micsway
        • 12 Years
        11 years, 4 months ago

        Well ain't mata injured?

        1. Mr. Mystic
          • 14 Years
          11 years, 4 months ago

          Apparently it's just cramp

      6. It’s gonna Ben Mee
        • 12 Years
        11 years, 4 months ago

        I just did the former.

    • fedolefan
      • 11 Years
      11 years, 4 months ago

      Alex Bruce is owned by 16.7%. He could drop 0.3 or more right over two weeks? Dang, hate to waste a sub on a 4.0.

      1. Gaz Downright
        • Has Moderation Rights
        • 15 Years
        11 years, 4 months ago

        Why do a transfer when you think it's a waste?

        1. fedolefan
          • 11 Years
          11 years, 4 months ago

          Well, because it'll be forced out of a possible drop in value as opposed to one I need to make.

      2. Sarnab
        • 14 Years
        11 years, 4 months ago

        He won't drop so much. Max. 0.2. There is a change in Price rise/drop mechanism

    • Geordienufc1
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 4 months ago

      Still time to salvage an ade consolation? C'mon...

    • Game of Stones
      • 11 Years
      11 years, 4 months ago

      Rambo playing deeper is a good thing imo, he can then make the runs through the middle like he did a lot last season - Flamini sitting a long side him allows him to do just that

      1. Yome
        • 14 Years
        11 years, 4 months ago

        He will compensate the poor game of Ozil

    • Not Irish
      • 12 Years

      Who did it come off it if was an OG?

      1. Pork Pie Sausage Roll
        • 15 Years
        11 years, 4 months ago

        Cissokho

    • waltzingmatildas
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 4 months ago

      Starting 11 has 36 🙁 Bench has 20 :'(

    • LewanGOALski
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 4 months ago

      so Mata & Dzeko out for me for 2 FTs.

      I am getting Sterling. Then I have 9.8M to spend on a striker. Who should I be looking at..? Still Adebayor?

      1. Yome
        • 14 Years
        11 years, 4 months ago

        What about Pelle? Saints fixtures are good

        1. LewanGOALski
          • 14 Years
          11 years, 4 months ago

          Hmmm, could be a good call..

          Also allows me to do Roo > Kun for GW5

    • Rambo Motin
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 4 months ago

      Sterling is giving me heart attacks every time he's on the ball. Agonizing watching him as a non-owner

      1. Wej
        • 13 Years
        11 years, 4 months ago

        Get him in then

    • HUMZAH96
        11 years, 4 months ago

        Quinn with the assist to Jelavic

        1. Jairzinho
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 15 Years
          11 years, 4 months ago

          Will it go down as an own goal though?

      • gravless
        • 14 Years
        11 years, 4 months ago

        Glad I didn't look at my team page between the 60 & 74 min mark

        😆

      • Billy Gilmore
        • 13 Years
        11 years, 4 months ago

        Safe to say Townsend won't be taking Chadli's place anytime soon...

        1. Gigging Order
          • 14 Years
          11 years, 4 months ago

          But Welbeck will be.

      • Glasner Ball
        • 13 Years
        11 years, 4 months ago

        Chambers on the bench looking good for 8 point Duff to come in, please don't bring bim on with a few mins to go!

        1. Bubz
          • 12 Years
          11 years, 4 months ago

          Don't get too excited yet, could easily come on

      • 7shadesofsmoke
        • 12 Years

        Dembele looks like he's just crawled out of a cardboard box

        I just can't believe my rival has Weimann 😐

      • Zombie
        • 12 Years
        11 years, 4 months ago

        Sterling has 0 BAPs as it stands

      • Stephen - Robot Daniels
        • 13 Years
        11 years, 4 months ago

        Would like an unassisted low ownership goal from spurs here.

        1. 7shadesofsmoke
          • 12 Years
          11 years, 4 months ago

          yup

      • Not Irish
        • 12 Years
        11 years, 4 months ago

        Spurs still well below par in midfield.

        1. Mr_Partridge
          • 11 Years
          11 years, 4 months ago

          thats rich

            • 12 Years
            11 years, 4 months ago

            On the contrary everything you say is rich.

        Mata and Eriksen to Sterling and midfield up to 8.8m?
        Any ideas?

      • Wej
        • 13 Years
        11 years, 4 months ago

        How many BAPS is the winning goal bonus worth? Is that still a thing?
