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

    FPL AWARENESS WATCH

    The following players are today's safety/danger zone.
    If you own them, a blank won't be so dramatic.
    If you don't own them, a decent score will see a significant proportion of the game's players steal a march on you. Watch out!

    Goalkeepers (%age ownership)
    Szczesny 11.4
    Lloris 10.5
    Guzan 9.7

    Defenders
    Lovren 29.0
    Vlaar 26.5
    Debuchy 22.6
    Dier 20.6
    Koscielny 13.9
    Hutton 9.6

    Midfielders
    Ramsey 46.9
    Sterling 38.2
    Henderson 15.1
    Sánchez 14.5
    Eriksen 10.7

    Strikers
    Sturridge 28.3
    Adebayor 6.8

    Worth noting that both Arsenal and Aston Villa defences have a significant investment in the game.

    1. Billy Gilmore
      12 years, 2 months ago

      As someone with only Ramsey, that is very worrying.

    2. Bubz
      12 years, 2 months ago

      Hoooooly shit, didn't realise nearly 40% own Sterling 😯

    12 years, 2 months ago

    After bringing Jov in, most seem to be getting rid of him. Fixtures are tough but surely he must be given more time.

    1. Sánchez
      12 years, 2 months ago

      tough fixtures means cover city cheap.

    12 years, 2 months ago

    Liverpool's defence is totally different to how it was just over a year ago

  27. FPL Daniel
    12 years, 2 months ago

    Bench info.

    Soldado and more important Lennon not on the bench. That could mean Chadli is there to stay. Townsend his only competition..

    Also Lallana not on the bench. Markovic and Cout on the bench... Still to see how they will lineup with Lallana is fit. I think he is gonna be first 11

  28. Mr_Partridge
    12 years, 2 months ago

    Come on Balotelli. Behave and try hard

  29. Isco Disco
    12 years, 2 months ago
