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

    1 FT, no other immediate concerns, Mata > Siggy? Or do the "sensible" thing and wait till after internationals?

      be sensible.

      With Swansea acting Chelsea it's probably better to wait

    Hull losing was great news for Chester owners, looks like he will have no trouble regaining his place

    1. Jairzinho

      • 15 Years
      11 years, 11 months ago

      I don't think there was ever any question.

      Robertson - Chester - Davies - Dawson - Rosie/Elm

  3. Schurrle Not

    What do people think about Pelle? May find some goalscoring form after netting yest plus southampton have decent fixtures.

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

      I am thinking to do Dzeko to Pelle

      1. Somalion
        • 16 Years
        11 years, 11 months ago

        I wouldn't.

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

          Why not? There is no guarantee Dzeko will start next game and City's fixtures are awful

          1. Schurrle Not
            • 15 Years
            11 years, 11 months ago

            I agree, i can't see city running riot against arsenal or chelsea and aguero seems to be the only safe bet in terms of their strikers

    2. Oz lotto
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      11 years, 11 months ago

      Tempted by roon to pel but I know better

    3. HUMZAH96
      11 years, 11 months ago

      May take Jovetic out for him if he doesn;t get the gametime, BUT I think I'd need a City mid to get some coverage

      Pelle off the mark is a good sign, keeping an eye on him

  4. Hughes Your Daddy
    • 14 Years
    11 years, 11 months ago

    Pleeeeease don't bring Chambers on!

  5. XhakaCan
    • 11 Years
    11 years, 11 months ago

    Is Robertson nailed on?

    1. Les Bleus
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 11 months ago

      It seems that way

  6. Tim Canterbury
    • 14 Years
    11 years, 11 months ago

    Severe blow to the head

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

      severed head

  7. Venom Snake
    • 12 Years
    11 years, 11 months ago

    Sterling or Cesc if already own both Costa and Balotelli?

  8. Courtois in the Rye
    • 13 Years
    11 years, 11 months ago

    Sterling more explosive, cheaper and better fixtures.

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

      Than.....?

      1. Courtois in the Rye
        • 13 Years
        11 years, 11 months ago

        Cesc - was a reply fail.

  9. Yome
    • 14 Years
    11 years, 11 months ago

    Leicester have been aggressive with their challenges but still no yellow for them

  10. Bubz
    • 12 Years
    11 years, 11 months ago

    Jovetic ---> Ballotelli for my FT? Or do you think it's too soon to get him?

    1. Podge
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 11 months ago

      Without penos I see no point getting him

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

        Just love the look of their fixtures and can't afford Sturr

    2. SpicyItalian22
      • 11 Years
      11 years, 11 months ago

      Too soon. Missed a couple of sitters today and it doesn't look like he'll be taking the penalties over Stevie G.

    3. Debauchy
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 11 months ago

      Too soon imo. 1 more game I think . I got him and Sturridge in sights but need a bit more to decide.

    4. VougieDipond
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 11 months ago

      not for me. Just brought Sterling in.

    5. Captain Shirokov
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 11 months ago

      Too soon mate.

    6. Get up ya bum
      • 16 Years
      11 years, 11 months ago

      Jove > Pelle is what I've done Bubz

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

    Come on Arsene, bring on Chambers 😀

  12. Count of Monte Hristo
    • 13 Years
    11 years, 11 months ago

    Leicester are boring me

  13. Jack Frost
    • 15 Years

    So FPL are withholding a stat or two that enable Crack the Code (totalfpl) and others to predict with precision price drops and rises. How does this help the game? Just curious. Seems to be a negative to me.

    1. Woy of the Wovers
      • 16 Years
      11 years, 11 months ago

      They don't like people to game the price rises.

    2. Podge
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 11 months ago

      Stops the hardcore types on here ending up with 115M
      Also stops the silly who can get the highest team value game

    3. Qubit
      • 17 Years
      11 years, 11 months ago

      It was never intended that we know the price rise and fall timings. It keeps us on our toes.

      1. Jack Frost
        • 15 Years
        11 years, 11 months ago

        Perfect Arsenal strategy... see the problem, dawdle, delay, postpone, get burned, make change, finish fourth.

    4. Kerz
      • 11 Years
      11 years, 11 months ago

      Moreover, they've changed the actual formula. It appears players rise slower yet drop quicker. This changes the game dynamics considerably:
      - WC over the international break makes less actual profit.
      - In the past, it was advised to wait right up until a GW deadline to make transfers, in case of last minute injuries. Now that we don't know when exactly players' prices will change, it makes doing the old strategy far more risky.

  14. Hughes Your Daddy
    • 14 Years

    Stitch him up and get him back on!

  15. Voice of the Mysterons
    • 15 Years
    11 years, 11 months ago

    Just got in, how was the Spurs v Liverpool game?
    A - who stood out?
    B - who looked poor?
    C - how did Lamela & Ade look?

    1. Spatburgunder
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 11 months ago

      Sterling moreno

      Spurs

      Lamela looked pants. Ade was good when someone would give him the bloody ball

  16. Butters_lfc9
    • 14 Years
    11 years, 11 months ago

    Should I look at Ade and Sterling In for Dzeko and Mata for -4 with this current team or would that be stupid so early in the week?
    Begovic
    Dummet-Ferdinand-Naylor
    Mata-Ramsay-Hazard-Sigurdson
    Rooney-Aguero-Dzeko
    Gilks-Moore-PvA-Marne

  17. Bambi
    • 14 Years
    11 years, 11 months ago

    I really don't think there are many better options than Rooney and Jovetic. Not in their price ranges

    1. Bambi
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 11 months ago

      obvious costa

    2. Woy of the Wovers
      • 16 Years
      11 years, 11 months ago

      Aguero > Sturridge > Pig. Bony/Adebayor > Jovetic.

  18. Wouter
    • 11 Years
    11 years, 11 months ago

    Ramsey is sitting so far back..

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

      The problem with him is that as soon as you captain him, he will have a bad game and blank

    2. Wings Fan
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 11 months ago

      He could be sitting in his own box for most of the game and I'd still fancy him to score or assist

  19. Mr_Partridge
    • 11 Years
    11 years, 11 months ago

    Oh my

    Leicester almost score
