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 Pochettinoโ€™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 hostsโ€™ chances of avenging the 5-0 humiliation that led to Andre Villas-Boasโ€™ 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 Balotelliโ€™s display will be eagerly analysed.

Villa and Hull go head-to-head in the other 1.30pm kick-off, with Paul Lambertโ€™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 โ€“ having scored the winner against Besiktas in midweek, the Chileanโ€™s confidence is on the rise.

    Sterling off, Liverpool can concede now without me losing a point

      Well said.

    Actually feel a bit robbed that Sterling is only getting 7pts from that performance ๐Ÿ˜

      Same here, deserves more, but still happy with the points, not complaining ๐Ÿ˜‰

      I'll take Henderson's 9 pts if it stays..

      True...but if they stay as they are and he gets 3 bps for the winning goal, he will nick 1 bonus

      So my current attack is:

      Mata, Siggy, Ramsey, Eriksen
      Costa, Rooney, Jovetic

      1 FT

      I was thinking about Mata to Sterling... I have no Liverpool coverage due to their fixtures, but now they've become better I'm looking to get Sterling in. It would balance my team as I already have Rooney for United cover. Also, the funds would allow me to upgrade Yoshida (who isn't nailed 100% apparently).

      *I'm not jerking and doing the transfer now, I'm just thinking about my moves*

              What is the point in posting on here if you're just going to say things like that?

              Go do something productive.

                    It was just banter

                    Sterling might have 2 games for England.

                  Probably doing the same with those players

                  1. HUMZAH96
                      11 years, 4 months ago

                      Yup, I wish I could have Fabregas though

                      Which one Doos?
                      He assisted the assister twice.

                      for the 3rd goal? no

                        No, Moreno tackled a player.

                      • 13 Years

                      Nope

                    A Capoue goal now would be nice.

                    dunno about you guys bout 2 freebies for me:

                    eriksen out for gerrard
                    bojan out for jelavic

                    Why didn't United go for Moreno again? I sometimes hugely dislike our keenness for British "talent".

                      coz our scouts don't like to travel

                      why? english national team would be better if they bothered signing/playing any

                      Notice that the British players transferred early. Except Dawson.

                      11 years, 4 months ago

                      Shaw will prove to be a better signing. Moreno is suspect defensively.

                    If I use WC I can get team like this:

                    You know your attack is poor when you make Liverpool's defence look like Ac Milan's from the early 90's

                      Doesn't make any sense. They're giving them to him because he has a lower ownership. "The Fantasy People"...

                      Could have scored a couple, still selfish in certain situations but a great FPL asset looking at the fixtures to come

                    Who to get rid of first, Jovetic or Bony?

                      As a Jovetiฤ‡ owner I think we'll have to ship him out.

                      Nothing to do with quality rather, he like Dzeko will suffer from rotation issue things fwd.

                    Is Eriksen/Rooney to Henderson/Aguero a good move?
