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

    Wow - Great attacking side are Leicester. They nice to watch

  6. Captain Shirokov

    Mata to Ulloa?

    1. Mr. Mystic
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 11 months ago

      No brainer!

    2. Sess!
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 11 months ago

      No

  7. Butters_lfc9
    • 14 Years

    Should I look at Ade and Sterling In for Dzeko and Mata for -4 or would that be stupid so early in the week?

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

      Why Adebayor?

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

        Who would be a better option at 8.5? I just assumed he would be the best and have no Spurs coverage while have aguero so don't see the need for jovetic

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

          Pelle

  8. BantamPhil
    • 12 Years
    11 years, 11 months ago

    Essential front 3

    Ulloa, Sanogo, Naismith

    #budget

    1. 7shadesofsmoke
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 11 months ago

      Weimann needs to be in there ahead of Sanogo

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

        True that forgot about him

    Sánchez is owned by less than 15% of players. After the major exodus of the last few weeks, I imagine the bulk of that is from either dead-teams, casuals, Arsenal fans or a few shrewd players who expected him to play up-top.

    Doubt he's owned by more than 5% in the top 50k.

      I own him but am having a mare anyway

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

        He's Fantasy gold if Arsenal fail to sign another striker, I think. Well done for keeping the faith!

          If Giroud had been fit would have gone Sanchez to Rambo. Not happening whilst donkey is out

    2. Twelve years a slave
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 11 months ago

      Yep, casuals. A few might overtake us, but will soon fall by wayside

  10. zoli0506

    It was a Fifa 14 attack

  11. Barrier Freeman
    • 13 Years

    Arsenal be arsenaling, yo!

  12. RyanFootballChatbox
    • 12 Years
    11 years, 11 months ago

    sigh Bench is sitting with Clean sheet points while starting X1 is a different story

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

    Arsenal will have a difficult season, still no clean sheets in 3 games

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

      yawn

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

      Based on three games?

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

      Leicester very unlucky not to score against Chelsea - no point

  14. Red Devil Swede
    • 13 Years
    11 years, 11 months ago

    Still hoping for a Kos->Chambers sub before 30 min mark

    1. Red Devil Swede
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 11 months ago

      And obviously no Lei goal after that 😉

      1. Sess!
        • 15 Years
        11 years, 11 months ago

        So much jam

  15. Twelve years a slave
    • 15 Years
    11 years, 11 months ago

    Leicester are good under rated side. Didn't change their team much when won promotion. Play as a team

    1. Prime
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 11 months ago

      Cambiasso is gonna be big for them

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

      Yeah - looking at the 5th mid spot to get some attacking cover- have been impressed with them from game 1

  16. dribbler
    • 17 Years
    11 years, 11 months ago

    great goal...come on you foxes

  17. Honeybadger
    • 12 Years
    11 years, 11 months ago

    Anyone considered Schlopp? OOP!

    1. Prime
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 11 months ago

      Very uncertain to maintain his spot

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

        Oh, who is he playing instead of?

        1. Prime
          • 13 Years
          11 years, 11 months ago

          All 3 of Albrighton, Knockaert and Vardy could play LW

    2. Professor Abel X
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 11 months ago

      Don't imagine he'd get many clean sheet points

    3. Malcolm Tucker for England …
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 11 months ago

      Thought about it but Leicester concede too many and need to score more.
      Watch list type of player

  18. Sess!
    • 15 Years
    11 years, 11 months ago

    Debuchy worth keeping with city, spurs and Chelsea I'm next four? I think not.

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

      I am getting rid, Arsenal's defense is no longer worth it

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

      Yellow card magnet

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

      Damn - you are right - but .............

  19. McSauce
    • 16 Years
    11 years, 11 months ago

    Ramsey (C) FAIL

    1. Red Devil Swede
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 11 months ago

      Yeah, 25 mins in. Keep calm..

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

      Swap ya for my Aguero 4 pointer?

      Thought not.

  20. bv57
    • 13 Years
    11 years, 11 months ago

    Do we know Liverpool baps?

    1. andyinasia
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 11 months ago

      Looks like Gerrard 3 Moreno 2 Hendo 1

  21. guah
    • 11 Years
    11 years, 11 months ago

    Went from top 30k to 100k mauve Roonet (C) not the best decision.

    Any tips for my team? Feeling bullish on the wildcard not happy with dzeko. Took a -4 for this team:

    Begovic
    Shawcross - debuchy - Clyne
    Ramsey - siggurdson - sterling - fabregas
    Dzeko - Adebayor - Costa

    Subs: Manone - Dier (spurs) - wisdom - Isgrove

  22. andyinasia
    • 13 Years
    11 years, 11 months ago

    So if Chambers comes on now (sub 30 mins) and Leicester don't score again, does he get 6 points?

    1. Red Devil Swede
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 11 months ago

      Yes

    2. Tangerine Army XI
      • 16 Years
      11 years, 11 months ago

      He sure will

  23. Red Devil Swede
    • 13 Years
    11 years, 11 months ago

    Chambers on soon, could troll with a CS!

    1. andyinasia
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 11 months ago

      Bugger, he's stuck on my bench while Debucket plays 🙁

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

    Why do I still have Debuchy...can't ship him this week because I already have a -4 planned....

    1. Mr. Mystic
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 11 months ago

      I'm doing Debuchy -> Clyne 😀

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

        Good thing I already have Clyne 😀

          • 15 Years
          11 years, 11 months ago

          Nightmare! If it makes you feel any better I benched Siggy during GW1 😀

  25. Dr. Rog
    • 16 Years
    11 years, 11 months ago

    61pts with Sanchez(c) and Ramsey to play another 65mins

  26. Mr. Mystic
    • 15 Years
    11 years, 11 months ago

  27. Barrier Freeman
    • 13 Years
    11 years, 11 months ago

  28. vova
    • 15 Years

  29. Andre W
    • 12 Years
