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

      Not many got the captaincy right this week so I wouldn't worry.

        • 12 Years

        Only Siggy so far

    Gulp.....says a non Ramsey owner.

  4. TheBabyfacedAssassin
    • 16 Years
    11 years, 4 months ago

    2FT. 0 ITB.
    a) Mata to Sterling and Chambers to Taylor/Amat/PvA
    b) Jovetic, Albrighton and Terry to Naismith, Sterling and Clyne for a hit
    c) Other suggestions?

    Begovic
    Jones Chambers Terry
    Ramsey Mata Fábregas Sigurdsson
    Rooney Jovetic Diego Costa
    Subs: Dummett Bruce Albrighton

    1. citizen_kane
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 4 months ago

      A for me.

    2. Journeyman
      • 16 Years
      11 years, 4 months ago

      Just Mata to Sterling for now I'd say.

  5. Royal5
    • 14 Years

    What is wrong with Ramsey today?

    1. Colonel Shoe 肝池
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 4 months ago

      i captained him....sorry

      1. Yome
        • 14 Years
        11 years, 4 months ago

        Me too, apology

        1. Royal5
          • 14 Years
          11 years, 4 months ago

          Just leave him alone next time please 🙂

          1. Yome
            • 14 Years
            11 years, 4 months ago

            I will do, he will never be captain again until the end of the season

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

      Nothing, his performance has been very similar to the rest of his games this season

  6. BlueIncognito
    • 11 Years
    11 years, 4 months ago

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

  7. Doesn't Mata
    • 13 Years
    11 years, 4 months ago

    Help guys! Is De Gea likely to drop? Who's the next best replacement for him?

    Forster, Krul, Begovic, or Mignolet?

    1. XhakaCan
      • 11 Years
      11 years, 4 months ago

      Not sure if he will drop, but if you want to replace him
      Forster for fixtures
      Krul to rotate
      Begovic to start most games
      Not Mignolet

  8. BantamPhil
    • 12 Years
    11 years, 4 months ago

    Ramsey could have easily blanked the last two games

    A very risky captain choice

  9. SG8
    • 13 Years
    11 years, 4 months ago

    Ramsey please. Do something

    1. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 4 months ago

      lol

  10. citizen_kane
    • 14 Years
    11 years, 4 months ago

    Any tips on 4.0-keepers most likely to get a run in the first team?

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

      none

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

      noneare varring injury. Personally I think Gilks isn't any worse than Heaton

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

    Ulloha looks like a serious good option fro 352

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

      Naismith better for now

    2. Not Irish
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 4 months ago

      Along with Naismith and Weimann. Would rather buy the 5.5m options than the mid priced ones ATM.

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

        Ulloa is 5.5...

        1. Not Irish
          • 12 Years
          11 years, 4 months ago

          Don't guess you caught my gist.

  12. Mindless Freak
    • 13 Years
    11 years, 4 months ago

    This is why i was saying Ramsey has been lucky. Both Everton and first GW's goals were lucky. Tough fixtures coming up, but the only reason people have him is people already have the template midfield and their is noone to replace Ramsey with, as the others are doing bad like Mata. Especially in 9m range.

    1. Wouter
      • 11 Years
      11 years, 4 months ago

      Relax. There is still more than 30 minutes left..

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

      Could replace with Sanchez

    3. Bod
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 4 months ago

      This is why I didn't get him in

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

      BS

      He's still very involved in Arsenal attack. One blank (not even yet actually) and ppl are going crazy mad.

      😐

    5. Licky
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 4 months ago

      I wouldn't say lucky, he's done well, it's just there aren't enough other players for him to effectively play off, 2 creative players on the pitch right now and nobody making the runs.

  13. Son is Rising
    • 15 Years
    11 years, 4 months ago

    picked the wrong pass, Ramsey would have finished

  14. Theseus
    • 13 Years
    11 years, 4 months ago

    Yep we do not need remy...

  15. Az
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    • 16 Years

    80 quid if Sanchez scores again
    Come on lad

  16. Lanley Staurel
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 15 Years
    11 years, 4 months ago

    Sanchez is storming the race for BAPs 😯

    1. Yome
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 4 months ago

      I like how he gets involved on the pitch, he is running everywhere

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

      Chambers will get an extra 12 for the CS.

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

    Ramsey to Sterling for me this week

    Keeping Mata

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

      Why not wildcard?

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

        Because team looks great for next gameweek

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

      😆

    3. OPTA FPL
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 4 months ago

      do it

  18. HUMZAH96
      11 years, 4 months ago

      Right so the results from the poll was to transfer Mata to Sterling out now to avoid price drops... seems risky as I'd be left with no transfers after the int break

      1. Gazza2000
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        11 years, 4 months ago

        life's a gamble

        1. HUMZAH96
            11 years, 4 months ago

            I guess it could have been seen risky to keep Mata after GW1 and keep Costa this GW

        2. Debauchy
          • 12 Years
          11 years, 4 months ago

          Live a little

          1. HUMZAH96
              11 years, 4 months ago

              Lmao this reply

        3. Licky
          • 13 Years
          11 years, 4 months ago

          Arsenal really have no options against teams who drop team under pressure.

          1. 7shadesofsmoke
            • 12 Years
            11 years, 4 months ago

            they are lacking a bit in invention, to be fair

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

          Sorry it's late but captaining Weimann went well! Yay! Never punting again though, my heart was on a knife's edge!

          1. mipola
            • 12 Years

            Nicely done

          • 14 Years
          11 years, 4 months ago

          Is wisdom nailed on or will he be dropped eventually? Thinking of swapping him for duff.

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

            don't think he's nailed on

          • Has Moderation Rights
          • 14 Years
          11 years, 4 months ago

          Stick with Fletcher up front?

          I've seen the highlights on MotD, but can recall seeing him do anything. Switch to Pelle?

          1. Sess!
            • 15 Years
            11 years, 4 months ago

            No as he will be on the bench next game. He's been by far our worst player first 3 games. Can't believe poyet has kept picking him. Def get rid now,

            1. Spencer
              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • Has Moderation Rights
              • 14 Years
              11 years, 4 months ago

              Thanks man. He looked so good in preseason tho!

          2. BantamPhil
            • 12 Years
            11 years, 4 months ago

            Naismith is by far the best value forward

            1. Spencer
              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • Has Moderation Rights
              • 14 Years
              11 years, 4 months ago

              Thanks Phil. Forgot about him.

          3. fusen
            • 13 Years
            11 years, 4 months ago

            Switch, he's going to be dropped soon. I'm a Sunderland fan who was at QPR yesterday and I also have Fletcher in my fantasy team.

            He's my next transfer out

            1. Spencer
              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • Has Moderation Rights

            I second the Naismith mention. Unbelievable value at 5.3 playing for Everton.

            1. Spencer

          Looking for Liverpool cover.
          A) Jovetic Sánchez Özil > Sturridge Sterling Mirallas

          B) Jovetic Sánchez Özil > Sturridge Sánchez Dyer

          C) Jovetic Sánchez Özil > Balotelli Özil Sterling

          D) Jovetic Sánchez Özil > Pellè Sterling Sánchez

          E) Other suggestions

          Sánchez could play as striker so not sure about selling. What are your guys thoughts on Yaya Sanogo will he get a run of games and score goals.

          1. Andre W
            • 11 Years
            11 years, 4 months ago

            Ozil > Sterling

          2. Jafooli

              And C 😀

          3. XhakaCan
            • 11 Years
            11 years, 4 months ago

            E) Ozil to Sterling, Sanchez to Hazard/Ramsey/Fabregas (Arsenal's fixtures), you could do Jovetic > Adebayor then, but I wouldn't for a hit.

            Id' wait a bit longer on Sanchez with Arsenal's fixtures.
            Sanogo needs a loan in the Championship (no disrespect to him), rarely looks like scoring.

        11. Fchildress
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 13 Years
          11 years, 4 months ago

          Sorry if already asked a million times but on cell phone so couldn't hunt the posts. Since chambers came on in 26th minute if Leicester ends on 1 will chambers get shoutout since he wasn't on when goal scored then went the 60 required minutes with no goal? I know if a defender starts and goes the 60 minutes then subs before a goal is scored he gets a cleansheet, so this would be the same thing theoretically.

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

            he's on my bench so of course he gets 6 points

          2. CellinoArmy
            • 12 Years
            11 years, 4 months ago

            Yes

          3. Les Bleus
            • 14 Years
            11 years, 4 months ago

            By reading the very first line, I'm gonna say yes.

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

              It took you a whole line? Clocked it after 4 words 🙂

            • 16 Years

            He'll get cs bonus if Leicester don't score again.

        12. andyinasia
          • 12 Years

          Albie coming on 4.5m

        13. FF Dirtbag
          • 14 Years
          11 years, 4 months ago

          Just did Mata -> Sterling. Was that a sensible move? My team now is:

          Begovic
          Jones Clyne Naylor
          Fabregas Ramsey Sterling Siggy
          Rooney Costa Jovetic

          Gilks; Davis, PVA, Wisdom

          How does it look?
