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

      Nicely done 😎

  3. Soidisant
    • 14 Years
    12 years, 19 days ago

    So how was that a penalty for Liverpool and then not a penalty in reverse for Tottenham for a worse but similar offence?

    1. Soidisant
      • 14 Years
      12 years, 19 days ago

      And I don't own Ade for the record

    2. Courtois in the Rye
      • 13 Years
      12 years, 19 days ago

      Because Adebayor didn't throw himself theatrically to the ground.

    2 FTs

    Mata & Dzeko ➡ Sterling & ____

    A. Adebayor
    B. Pelle
    C. sb else for up to 9.8 mln

    ??

    1. Kerz
      • 12 Years
      12 years, 19 days ago

      Sterling & A

  7. Venom Snake
    • 13 Years
    12 years, 19 days ago

    Can only afford an 8.8 mid for Eriksen. Crappy price bracket

    1. Venom Snake
      • 13 Years
      12 years, 19 days ago

      Unless I keep Mata?

    2. Frank Black
      • 13 Years

      Wait for Lallana.

    3. Soidisant
      • 14 Years
      12 years, 19 days ago

      Sterling?

  8. Parm
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    12 years, 19 days ago

    Looks like it's time to get Sterling in....

    - Better to get him in while I can afford him.
    - Great fixtures coming up.
    - Huge ownership(38.4%) kills my rank when he performs.

    1. Leaf
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      12 years, 19 days ago

      Need to get

      Sterling rather than sturridge
      Costa rather than hazard
      Sanchez rather than Ramsey
      Aguero not Rooney

      Wildcard maybe

      1. Frank Black
        • 13 Years
        12 years, 19 days ago

        Sanchez rather than Ramsey? NO....

        1. Leaf
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 16 Years
          12 years, 19 days ago

          If he plays as striker

    2. LewanGOALski
      • 15 Years
      12 years, 19 days ago

      I've just done Mata > Sterling

      1. Whazza
        • 14 Years
        12 years, 19 days ago

        already?

        1. LewanGOALski
          • 15 Years
          12 years, 19 days ago

          yes.

          still have 1 more FT

          Mata has been shite. I have no Pool, and need to have looking at the fixtures.

    3. Gigging Order
      • 15 Years

      I am doing the same.

      Haha

    2. Solenya
      • 15 Years
      12 years, 19 days ago

      I don't think us Utd fans have the luxury of that kind of banter atm 😀

      1. Somalion
        • 16 Years
        12 years, 19 days ago

        Banter is banter 😉

        Just speaking the truth as well 😛

  10. HUMZAH96
    12 years, 19 days ago

    Do you think I should try get Fabregas in this attack?

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

    I already have Costa so is he needed?

    1. Jax
      • 16 Years
      12 years, 19 days ago

      missed the boat

      1. HUMZAH96
        12 years, 19 days ago

        Why?

    2. 7shadesofsmoke
      • 13 Years
      12 years, 19 days ago

      Mata -> Fab

      1. HUMZAH96
        12 years, 19 days ago

        Why?

        1. 7shadesofsmoke
          • 13 Years
          12 years, 19 days ago

          I think Fab will get more points than Mata

          1. HUMZAH96
            12 years, 19 days ago

            Sterling over Fab though? I have Costa for Chelsea coverage and Sterling looks essential

    3. Kerz
      • 12 Years
      12 years, 19 days ago

      You need Sterling in there mate. Look at his fixtures, form & ownership. Essential.

      1. HUMZAH96
        12 years, 19 days ago

        Thanks

    4. Yome
      • 14 Years
      12 years, 19 days ago

      Yes for Mata or Eriksen

      1. HUMZAH96
        12 years, 19 days ago

        Why?

  11. Chu Young Ping Pong
    • 14 Years
    12 years, 19 days ago

    Idk why did I get Adebayor.

    1. Jax
      • 16 Years
      12 years, 19 days ago

      cos your knee jerked

    2. Zombie
      • 13 Years
      12 years, 19 days ago

      coz he has 2 juicy upcoming fixtures

      1. Tommy J
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 17 Years
        12 years, 19 days ago

        Cos you're a fool...like me!

        Not my best moment in FFP swapped Costa to Ade(c) and played both Vergini and C Davies over Lovren...what was I thinking....??

        1. Zombie
          • 13 Years
          12 years, 19 days ago

          lol...calm down. I don't have him

    3. Courtois in the Rye
      • 13 Years
      12 years, 19 days ago

      He's a good value striker in a top 6 team who is guaranteed to play and with reasonable fixtures. Don't panic sell.

    4. RyanC
      • 12 Years
      12 years, 19 days ago

      I listened to too many people on here. 😉

      Took Pellè put for him.

    5. Matakuko
      • 14 Years
      12 years, 19 days ago

      You needed to replace Giroud, you preferred TOT fixtures to City/City rotation?

      (That's why he's in mine)

    6. jernej93
      • 12 Years
      12 years, 19 days ago

      Spurs were playing really good in 1st half and than they got "destroyed" by that penalty. Adebayor is probably a no-rotation risk in a team that is gonna score a lot this season ... Lamela, Eriksen and other attacking midfielders are under rotation risk IMO and Adebayor is also a bigger attacking threat with scoring and also passing ability.

      I will put him in my team instead of Lamela 🙂

  12. Mindless Freak
    • 14 Years
    12 years, 19 days ago

    Who to replace Mata with? Don't want Ramsey.

    Got Sterling, Mata, Fabregas, Siggurdson, Schurrle.

    Want to get rid of Schurrle and Mata.

    1. Zombie
      • 13 Years
      12 years, 19 days ago

      Hendo for Schhurle..keep Mata

      why not Ramsey ?

    2. 7shadesofsmoke
      • 13 Years
      12 years, 19 days ago

      wait for the internationals and consider the options then

    3. Leaf
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      12 years, 19 days ago

      Alexis Sanchez is your man

    4. Call Me Old Fashioned
      • 15 Years
      12 years, 19 days ago

      I can't help if you don't want the best replacement

    5. Les Bleus
      • 15 Years
      12 years, 19 days ago

      You need ramsey

    6. Debauchy
      • 13 Years
      12 years, 19 days ago

      Sanchez ? Pretty mindless not wanting Ramsey ?

    7. palace ash
      • 17 Years
      12 years, 19 days ago

      Tadic and Gerrard

  13. Gigging Order
    • 15 Years
    12 years, 19 days ago

    Is Marc Wilson NAILED?

    1. Kerz
      • 12 Years
      12 years, 19 days ago

      I think so. After an away clean-sheet at the Etihad, I doubt Hughes would change it up much.

  14. Debauchy
    • 13 Years
    12 years, 19 days ago

    Ade Another Cpt failure , only Siggy a success of the popular options . Rambo to go.

  15. Count of Monte Hristo
    • 13 Years
    12 years, 19 days ago

    Demi, MOTM for the Arsenal game? You going Sanchez or Ramsey?

    1. Demí
      • 15 Years
      12 years, 19 days ago

      Sanogo and Ramsey for me if i had to choose. Leaving it alone though, as the odds aren't to my liking

      1. Debauchy
        • 13 Years
        12 years, 19 days ago

        Sanchez due Demi

    Ffs adebayor.

  18. Mr_Partridge

    Sterling MOTM on Sky.

    1. Jax

    Damn it the Hutton CS would have been gold.

    Rambo all eyes on you.

    Leicester you know what to do. SCORE !! Ruin Ars CS

  22. Not Irish
    • 13 Years

    What a dodgy clean sheet. Hang your head, Spurs.

    1. Mr_Partridge
      • 12 Years
      12 years, 19 days ago

      Burnley

  23. Sting
    • 13 Years
    12 years, 19 days ago

    BPS system is poor...prefer the sky game MOTM system

    How can Sterling get no bonus pts?

    1. Granville
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 17 Years
      12 years, 19 days ago

      Because they don't give points for MOTM.

      1. Adam
        • 17 Years
        12 years, 19 days ago

        Miss it when the journalists would award the bonus points and we'd always complain about someone.

        1. Granville
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • Has Moderation Rights
          • 17 Years
          12 years, 19 days ago

          I preferred that system. The element of surprise kept us interested until an hour after the game. Now it's just mechanical and dull

    2. Djerbil
      • 15 Years
      12 years, 19 days ago

      the YC killed it

    3. Heydudes13
      • 14 Years
      12 years, 19 days ago

      He was wasteful tbh.

  24. Heydudes13
    • 14 Years
    12 years, 19 days ago

    With no players in these two early games I feel really fortunate.

  25. SW6
    • 14 Years
    12 years, 19 days ago

    My strikers this week: 2 - 2 - 2 🙄

    1. Mílanista
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      12 years, 19 days ago

      Same, but one of them only got 2 points because I captained him.

      1. 7shadesofsmoke
        • 13 Years
        12 years, 19 days ago

        lol

    2. Fifa las vegas
      • 14 Years

      Same 🙁

    3. Wilshere Knowledge
      • 13 Years

      2-1-2 here. 😎

    4. mipola

      Your not alone

    5. Not Irish
      • 13 Years
      12 years, 19 days ago

      Same here. After 5 points total last week. WC to 352 imminent.

    6. Jordan.
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years

      in 3 weeks of pig, bony and dzeko I have 1 goal 1 assist and 3 capt 2s for 32 points #spewing....

  26. Rupert The Horse
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years

    What a good boy Gerrard is, taking his shoes off before going inside.

  27. Wilshere Knowledge
    • 13 Years
    12 years, 19 days ago

    I assume the Spurs love in has well and truly died then? 😆

    1. Mílanista
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years

      *cough* grav *cough*

  28. Transient Anus
    • 17 Years
    12 years, 19 days ago

    Man I really wanna hit that button. Only to make 5 changes though. Albeit very good ones imho. Waste of a wildcard?

    1. Fifa las vegas
      • 14 Years
      12 years, 19 days ago

      Not really, if they're that good

      1. Transient Anus
        • 17 Years
        12 years, 19 days ago

        hmmm. You're a bad influence on me 😛 Sod it I like the look of this team. Imma do it

    2. Not Irish
      • 13 Years
      12 years, 19 days ago

      I'm doing it.

      1. Transient Anus
        • 17 Years
        12 years, 19 days ago

        How many you swapping out?

        1. Not Irish
          • 13 Years
          12 years, 19 days ago

          Five I think. But I'm also switching Rooney out and bringing him back in before the GW at his lower price. Maybe Sturridge too. Although I may not persist with him.

    3. Adam
      • 17 Years
      12 years, 19 days ago

      I'm likely to use WC with 5 transfers in mind too.

  29. Abusive_Sgt_Daelrhos
    • 12 Years
    12 years, 19 days ago

    Eriksen failed me one more week. Am I knee jerking if I want Siggy instead of him? And Sterling instead of Mata?

    1. SW6
      • 14 Years
      12 years, 19 days ago

      No, good moves

    2. Transient Anus
      • 17 Years
      12 years, 19 days ago

      Better off with Eriksen for one more week

    3. jernej93
      • 12 Years
      12 years, 19 days ago

      Good moves, just do it 🙂

      Siggy probably won't bring you 10 points every weekend but for that price he is gonna bring big. I am tired of waiting for Mata to do something ... rather go for Sterling who is in great form and easy fixtures coming up 🙂

      1. Abusive_Sgt_Daelrhos
        • 12 Years
        12 years, 19 days ago

        Indeed. I'll just wait off with Eriksen one more gw tho. Playing vs Sunderland next week. Tired of Mata too.

    4. Debauchy
      • 13 Years
      12 years, 19 days ago

      Its never a knee jerk getting in quality and almost essential players - do it immediately.

  30. JakeTheRed
    • 12 Years
    12 years, 19 days ago

    Ade, Rooney & Jovetic didn't do anything for me this week. PRAYING for Ramsey (c) to save me!
