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

    Bet Wenger would still resist signing a world class striker even if he threw himself at him, for free!

    Stubborn old rat.

        Good GW for you? Kept Costa?

  3. Vasty Deep

    I need Ivanovic in - who to sacrifice, Wilson (Stoke) or Amat (Swansea)? Both have decent fixtures and will be strong at home.

  4. HUMZAH96
    12 years, 2 months ago

    Loic Remy will cost Chelsea £6.8m per year, assuming a £10.5m fee + a 4-year deal at £80k pw.

    If you WCed now, what would your front line look like?

    1. Transient Anus
      12 years, 2 months ago

      Aguero Costa Pelle

    2. Heydudes13
      12 years, 2 months ago

      Full of last week's scorers of course.

      Like all WC teams look like.

      1. Lucy.
        12 years, 2 months ago

        Well show me something different then 😛

        1. Heydudes13
          12 years, 2 months ago

          Sturridge Diego Costa Adebayor.

    3. SW6
      12 years, 2 months ago

      Costa - Aguero - Sturridge

    4. Rödallegabomb ᴿᴮ
      12 years, 2 months ago

      Aguero Costa Rooney/Adebayor/Naismith

    5. MJ6987
      12 years, 2 months ago

      Rooney Costa ??????

      Not sure on the third spot. Might go cheap with Naismith and shore up the defence? Mind you, I keep thinking Bony could explode soon.

      1. Rödallegabomb ᴿᴮ
        12 years, 2 months ago

        Aguero

        1. MJ6987
          12 years, 2 months ago

          That's an option alright

    6. RamaJama
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      12 years, 2 months ago

      Long time: Aguero, Rooney, Costa

    7. Somalion
      12 years, 2 months ago

      That's the issue really, I don't think I'd change it yet. Would possibly like Aguero but not the easiest of run coming up.

    8. Limbo
      12 years, 2 months ago

      Aguero, Costa, Naismith.

    9. The Iron Tulip
      12 years, 2 months ago

      Aguero - Rooney - Costa (my current front line)

    10. Debauchy
      12 years, 2 months ago

      Costa , Sturridge , Naismith.

  7. MJ6987
    12 years, 2 months ago

    Ramsey' gonna blank ain't he?

    1. Pork Pie Sausage Roll
      12 years, 2 months ago

      90th min scrappy goal no doubt

      1. Licky
        12 years, 2 months ago

        It'll be the scrappiest.

    2. Evs

      Early yet for Aaron, he like to step up late on for a Glory Winner 😉

      1. Christina.
        12 years, 2 months ago

        What a kak GW.

        🙁

        1. Evs
          • Has Moderation Rights
          12 years, 2 months ago

          Double kak I say 🙁

          1. Christina.
            12 years, 2 months ago

            Now I need to lose on of Dzeko Or Jovetic.

            How did I get myself into this mess?

            1. Transient Anus
              12 years, 2 months ago

              I've done Jovetic to Pelle. Backed myself into a Costaless corner

              1. Christina.
                12 years, 2 months ago

                ooooohhh shit.

                1. Transient Anus
                  12 years, 2 months ago

                  yup. Could always get him for Rooney but can't spend 4 on that with city in gw5 vs rooney's leicester right?

                  1. Christina.
                    12 years, 2 months ago

                    Im tempted to do mata/Jovetic/Dzeko->Sterling/Costa/? for -4

                    Not idea who ? might be though...

                    I have 8.8m

                    1. Transient Anus
                      12 years, 2 months ago

                      Pelle. Have a good feeling about him. 2 in his last 2 and good fixtures

            2. Evs
              • Has Moderation Rights
              12 years, 2 months ago

              I'm going back.

              Selling Jovetic. I don't trust him playing v Dzeko.

              Bony, Costa & Rooney I think.

              1. Transient Anus
                12 years, 2 months ago

                I'm sittin on Aguero Rooney Pelle now. Would love Rooney to be Costa but don't think it's worth 4 points ay?

                1. Evs
                  • Has Moderation Rights
                  12 years, 2 months ago

                  Despite united form, not with those fixtures.

                  If anything....

                  Rooney ➡ Slurridge ? (Or Balo)

                  1. Transient Anus
                    12 years, 2 months ago

                    Yeah. Think I'll have to hold onto fatty for a bit yet 🙁

                    1. Evs
                      • Has Moderation Rights
                      12 years, 2 months ago

          2. Rödallegabomb ᴿᴮ
            12 years, 2 months ago

            How have the pair of you scored so far?

            1. Evs
              • Has Moderation Rights
              12 years, 2 months ago

              40 I think.

              No Costa
              No Sterling
              No Sanchez
              no LFC defender.

              1. Rödallegabomb ᴿᴮ
                12 years, 2 months ago

                Not too bad, could be worse. A small slide in the ranks and the international break to compose yourself and sort your team our for GW4.

                1. Evs
                  • Has Moderation Rights
                  12 years, 2 months ago

                  I need some LFC attacking coverage and sort my defence out.

                  Costa back must be the priority though ???

                  1. Christina.
                    12 years, 2 months ago

                    Doesn't help that the price hikes/drops are a mystery.

                    1. Evs
                      • Has Moderation Rights
                      12 years, 2 months ago

                      May just get him tonight and have done with it.

                      Sell...

                      Jovetic or Bony ?

                      I'm think Jove, just for Bony consistency (and he's due a goal)

                      1. Christina.
                        12 years, 2 months ago

                        Yeah keep bony. He was unlucky so far and it seems he is staying at Swans.

                  2. Rödallegabomb ᴿᴮ
                    12 years, 2 months ago

                    I would bring Costa back in, yes. Sterling is looking in fine form so I would back him as the best value Liverpool 'cover'. Defence isn't too bad, you could spend a lot and still only get 10 points between the lot of them one week, I would gradually sort it out over time as we find out who the good value defenders are.

          3. Transient Anus
            12 years, 2 months ago

            Sad times at the Senegoal ranch 😥

            1. Christina.
              12 years, 2 months ago

              Well done to Epic. Kept Costa.

              1. Transient Anus
                12 years, 2 months ago

                Smart fella

                1. Christina.
                  12 years, 2 months ago

                  Because I was away I had limited internet. Sold Costa, then found out he was ok 10 min later. Feck.

                  1. Transient Anus
                    12 years, 2 months ago

                    I didn't even look after the presser. Ridiculous. Even more ridiculous is Aguero actually started, and you know the rest...

        2. Transient Anus
          12 years, 2 months ago

          Costa 🙁

          1. Christina.
            12 years, 2 months ago

            No comment.

          2. Christina.

            What trannie did you do Champ?

            1. Transient Anus
              12 years, 2 months ago

              See above

  8. Jafooli
    12 years, 2 months ago

    Sanogo is woeful.

    1. XhakaCan
      12 years, 2 months ago

      He needs a loan move

  9. Mr Arsenal
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    12 years, 2 months ago

    What happened to Cazorla? He used to be good. Now he's doing an ashavin, getting fat and turning into a pub player

    1. MJ6987
      12 years, 2 months ago

      Looks more like Keith Harris everytime I see him.

  10. CelticBhoy1
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    12 years, 2 months ago

    Get Costa in now before he goes up in price or wait out the two weeks?

    1. MJ6987
      12 years, 2 months ago

      Depends what you can afford. He is in the Spain squad.

      1. CelticBhoy1
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        12 years, 2 months ago

        Going to have to sacrifice someone for him anyway.

        Most likely Mata > Zaha/ Schneid/ Dyer/ Hendo???

  11. Whazza
    12 years, 2 months ago

    Okay to confirm Cahill & Mata --> Ivan & Sterling for free right now?

    1. Lucy.
      12 years, 2 months ago

      Yup!

    2. Transient Anus
      12 years, 2 months ago

      Go for it

    3. Bod
      12 years, 2 months ago

      Looks ok to me

    4. SW6
      12 years, 2 months ago

      Just Mata to Sterling imo.

    9. MJ6987

  12. Mr_Partridge
    12 years, 2 months ago

    Sanogo would struggle in the SPL

    1. Pork Pie Sausage Roll
      12 years, 2 months ago

      SPL doesn't exist, so no wonder

      /pedant

  13. Chu Young Ping Pong

    Sanogo is possibly the worst striker I've ever seen.

        GalacticKeegan - it's brilliant. Check back the history as it's abit serious at the moment in the story.

    Cazorla and Ozil have been little more than average whenever I've seen them for Arsenal lately.

  17. Jafooli

    Sanogo should be off at half time.

      Have him, thinking of getting rid maybe

      1. Koflok
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        12 years, 2 months ago

        He that bad?

        Fixture is with him and decent underlying stats

        1. Gimli son of Gloin
          12 years, 2 months ago

          Yeah he's alright.. but there's other players I want more.
          Can't see him getting huge points really.. he'll probably tip along.

    Mata to fall and Sterling to rise today?

    1. Sess!
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      12 years, 2 months ago

      Nobody knows

    2. Mr. Mystic
      12 years, 2 months ago

      No, Mata unlikely to fall for a while.
      Sterling unlikely to rise today either

    3. The Man Pastore
      12 years, 2 months ago

      Hoping so

  22. Rambo Motin

    Wenger should try Ramsey striker 😀

      You follow some right old sad sacks

  23. bombayblues

    Need help with my team

    Bego. Krul
    Chambers. Cahill. Ward. Chester. PVA
    Ramsey. Mata. Hazard. Sigurdsson
    Wickham. Rooney. Jovetic

    2.2 ITB. 1 FT

    1. supersan321
      12 years, 2 months ago

      Mata Jovetic > Costa Sterling?

      1. bombayblues
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        12 years, 2 months ago

        Thanks for the reply! I was thinking Mata - Sterling
        Rooney - Costa and then slowly upgrade my defence coz right now Ward aint doing much and Chambers aint nailed on

        What are your thoughts?

  24. Mr Arsenal
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    12 years, 2 months ago

    Arsenal not buying a striker - apart from ruining their chances of a top 3 finish - is great for FPL. They'll score all their goals from midfield so Sanchez/Ramsey best options.

    1. OPTA FPL
      12 years, 2 months ago

      😯

    2. Yome
      12 years, 2 months ago

      Arsenal need a striker, a defensive midfielder and a defender.
      But Wenger don't buy and lacks ambition with his 4th finish every year

  25. Wilshere Knowledge
    12 years, 2 months ago

    Ox and Wilshere to save the day! 😀

    1. Yome
      12 years, 2 months ago

      And assisting Rambo I hope

      1. Wilshere Knowledge

        Of course! 😉

      Or Ozil could just step up for once.

    I just don't understad how Arsenal were not in for Remy. He could transform this side, they have the creators they need the finisher. Sanogo or Remy? Remy could turn them into a 2 goal+ side every week and even make them Top 2 challengers.

      Mindless comment again ? They were, silly. We cant match Chelsea's financial muscle . Get with it

    Arsenal's kept 0/3 clean sheets so far...they play City, Spurs, and Chelsea in the next 4 weeks.
    Time to ditch all Arsenal defenders. 😉

    If Falcao joins City imagine the damage the partnership of Aguero and Falcao could cause, could tear any defence in the world to shreds ❗

      It would require Aguero to be more of a number 7 though, Falcao is a real out and out striker while Aguero is more versatile.

    Thoughts on changing:

    Debuchy-----> Shawcross? Stoke have good upcoming fixtures and Arsenal can't keep a CS to save their life.
