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..

        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
          • 11 Years
          11 years, 4 months ago

          C is a shrewd move.

        Rooney -> Balotelli. Crazy?

        1. SW6
          • 13 Years
          11 years, 4 months ago

          Yes

        2. Rödallegabomb á´¿á´®
          • 13 Years

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

          1. Lucy.
            • 12 Years
            11 years, 4 months ago

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

        3. MJ6987
          • 15 Years
          11 years, 4 months 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
            11 years, 4 months ago

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

        4. LewanGOALski
          • 14 Years
          11 years, 4 months ago

          @Lucy, is Pelle a real deal ?

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

          1. Lucy.
            • 12 Years
            11 years, 4 months ago

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

      • Twelve years a slave
        • 15 Years
        11 years, 4 months ago

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

        Has to be worth considering

        1. Long Juan Silva
          • 11 Years
          11 years, 4 months ago

          Podolski, Sanchez, Walcott

          1. Long Juan Silva
            • 11 Years
            11 years, 4 months ago

            Will take his place sooner rather than later

        2. Podge
          • 14 Years
          11 years, 4 months ago

          Are you Doosra in disguise ?

        3. Billy Gilmore
          • 13 Years
          11 years, 4 months ago

          Could very easily play Sanchez up top.

        4. andyinasia
          • 12 Years
          11 years, 4 months ago

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

        5. Nomar
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 16 Years
          11 years, 4 months 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
          • 15 Years
          11 years, 4 months ago

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

      • Pringle
        • 12 Years
        11 years, 4 months ago

        Naismith nailed on now you think?

        1. Pork Pie Sausage Roll
          • 15 Years
          11 years, 4 months ago

          Whilst he maintains this form, yes.

        2. Wirtzle Gummidge
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 13 Years
          11 years, 4 months ago

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

        3. Mr. Mystic
          • 14 Years
          11 years, 4 months ago

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

              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.

                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.

                Don't know why Wenger underestimates Pod, the German is an absolue beast when he plays regularly

                Podolski doesn't lead the line

                Remember Remy can play also on the wing, he could compete with William/Schurrle/Oscar...

              Debuchy > Moreno?

              Arsenal are definitely not going to be keeping cleanies and Moreno looked wonderful + great fixtures

              • 12 Years
              11 years, 4 months ago

              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

                Somehow get a front 3 of Rooney Aguero Costa

                  that would need a major overhaul of the squad probably a wild card

              I'm assuming if Leicester don't score again, Chambers will get cleansheet points ?

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

                11 years, 4 months ago

                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.

                  if you have 3 Man U players then wild card

                    11 years, 4 months ago

                    Yea form over fixtures. Unless they sign 5 players tomorrow I fancy them for bottom half
