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

    Remy would have been more useful in the Arsenal squad.. Wenger is an diot..

    Can't believe Chelsea have signed Remy... Mourinho seems to do all of the transfers Wenger should do! Rage!!

    Hey guys! Having a so-so week so far. Have 2 FT but I'm wondering should I just use one and save the other?

    Krul (Foster)
    Jones Chester Cahill (Taylor Moore)
    Siggy Ramsey Hazard Hendo Lamela
    Rooney Costa (Naismith)

    0.9m ITB

    Should I do:
    A) Lamela + Hendo -> Sterling + 4.5m MF
    B) Lamela + Hendo -> Sterling + JWP / 5.0 MF
    C) Lamela -> Sterling , save one FT
    D) Other options?

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

      C is a shrewd move.

      1. HammersXI

        Thanks man!

    Rooney -> Balotelli. Crazy?

      Yes

    2. Rödallegabomb ᴿᴮ

      I would be lying if I said the thought hadn't crossed my mind.

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

        It seems bonkers... But it's tempting.

    3. MJ6987
      • 16 Years
      12 years, 19 days ago

      I think so.

      Balotelli's scoring record is not that good if you strip out pens (no longer on them) and he hardly EVER assists.

      1. Sess!
        • 15 Years
        12 years, 19 days ago

        1 assist (and what an assist it was) in his entire man city career.

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

      @Lucy, is Pelle a real deal ?

      It's him or Adebayor for me - who do you think ?

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

        I'm not wholly convinced just yet but I think that goal will give him a lot of confidence.

  10. Twelve years a slave
    • 16 Years
    12 years, 19 days ago

    So Remy going to Chelsea means Arsenal are likely stuck with Sonogo

    Has to be worth considering

    1. Long Juan Silva
      • 12 Years
      12 years, 19 days ago

      Podolski, Sanchez, Walcott

      1. Long Juan Silva
        • 12 Years
        12 years, 19 days ago

        Will take his place sooner rather than later

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

      Are you Doosra in disguise ?

    3. Billy Gilmore
      • 14 Years
      12 years, 19 days ago

      Could very easily play Sanchez up top.

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

      Got to be someone else. Have they never considered Bony?

    5. Nomar
      • 16 Years
      12 years, 19 days ago

      Remy at Arsenal would have been a bargain at £7.5m. Right club for him too.

      Not his fault though. Arsenal have had him offering himself on a plate to them since he signed for us, but Wenger never really interested.

      Wenger bought Anelka through when he sold Ian Wright. Guess he thinks lightning can strike twice and he can pull another rabbit out of the hat with Sanogo.

    6. MJ6987
      • 16 Years
      12 years, 19 days ago

      I can't understand why Podolski doesn't get a game ahead of Sanogo

  11. Pringle
    • 13 Years
    12 years, 19 days ago

    Naismith nailed on now you think?

    1. Pork Pie Sausage Roll
      • 16 Years
      12 years, 19 days ago

      Whilst he maintains this form, yes.

    2. Wirtzle Gummidge
      • 14 Years
      12 years, 19 days ago

      Will be interesting when Barkley comes back. Still, a goal in every game.

    3. Mr. Mystic
      • 15 Years
      12 years, 19 days ago

      I'd say so, yes. He's playing in behind the striker, those being Lukaku/Eto'o

          This wasn't the first post but the first I could find - over 2 hours ago.

          Just showing as an acknowledgement would have sufficed. These things do happen around here.

      40% of the fee they paid 3 years ago. Good move for BVB.

  13. SpinyNorman [*_*]

    If Arsenal don't concede for the rest of the game, Chambers will get a CS yes?

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

      yup

    2. LewanGOALski

      yeap

    3. Wheato182
      • 13 Years
      12 years, 19 days ago

      Exactly what I'd just logged on to ask. I don't think he will but it would make sense if he plays over 60 mins and they don't concede.

    4. HUMZAH96
      12 years, 19 days ago

      Yes

      Depends who your shipping in/out

      1. BlueIncognito
        • 12 Years

        Rose, Pieters/Moreno, Naismith/Pelle for Vlaar, Jovetic, Azpili.

    3. Malcolm Tucker for England …
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    4. Jack Frost
      • 16 Years
      12 years, 19 days ago

      Not at all, I did one this past week for Ivan, Naismith and Clyne... cost me a negative 3 points because short timer Blackett remarkably kept a CS. Bojan and Cahill were my other replaced players. Saved a WC and gets my ship upright for weeks (I hope) and a couple of tenths.

      It is very difficult to make it pay within one week.

    Very unsure who to take out & who to keep for this team with 2 FT & 0m itb

    Krul
    Cahill / PVA / Clyne
    Ramsey / Mata / Sterling / Fabregas / Ince
    Rooney / Costa
    (Guzan / Jutkiewicz / Wisdom / Moore)

    Priority at the moment seems to be fix Ince & Jutkiewicz but also thinking to take a hit & build a better team....suggestions please guys

    1. Voice of the Mysterons
      • 15 Years

      Somehow get a front 3 of Rooney Aguero Costa

                Bego>Forster
                Diouf>Jovetic(C)

    Eriksen, Dzeko --> Sterling, Naismith for free? Good transfers?

    Feel like I need to wildcard now, before I miss out on the template attack:
    Ramsey-fabregas-sterling-siggy
    Costa-aguero-Naismith

    I only have 2 of these, and need to shift 3 Man U players, regardless of fixtures they are awful.
