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

    Arsenal now physically down to 10 men with Ozil off the pitch, as opposed to metaphorically down to 10 with him on it.

    Apparently:

    Chico to Real

    I hear police at the king power stadium have received a missing persons report for metsut ozil.

    1. The Devil Wears Prada
      • 15 Years

      just ozil?

    2. Licky
      • 13 Years

      😀 I love it.

  8. Salah’s Sonnet
    • 14 Years
    11 years, 7 months ago

    Is Naismith definitely nailed on now? Even with Lukaku and Eto'o in the mix?

    1. HuttonDressedasLahm
      • 16 Years
      11 years, 7 months ago

      3 in 3. No chance he's dropped

      1. Sess!
        • 15 Years
        11 years, 7 months ago

        Although won't keep that ratio up.......still decent option.

        1. BantamPhil
          • 12 Years
          11 years, 7 months ago

          West Brom and Palace next 😛

        2. Salah’s Sonnet
          • 14 Years
          11 years, 7 months ago

          West brom next then palace, omens look good don't you think?

    2. 4vets
      • 15 Years

      Nope

      1. Salah’s Sonnet
        • 14 Years
        11 years, 7 months ago

        He's not nailed on 4vets? How so?

    Jovetić owners are you:

    A) Keeping
    B) Selling

    1. mr messi
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 7 months ago

      Keeping, I've a bigger Mata fish to fry!

      1. Kerz
        • 11 Years
        11 years, 7 months ago

        I also have a more important Mata on my hands. Mata --> Fab (have Sterling already) is looking quite sensible right now, when team form & individual stats are factored in.

      2. Twelve years a slave
        • 15 Years
        11 years, 7 months ago

        He may get a fair. Bit of playing time, man c have champions league coming up and aguero will be protected

    2. Salah’s Sonnet
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 7 months ago

      Selling as i have aguero

    3. andyinasia

      WC and selling

  10. vova

    Leicester miss a good chance, cue a late Arsenal winner.

  11. Holmes
    • 12 Years
    11 years, 7 months ago

    Only Costa can score three in a row 😎

    1. Les Bleus
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 7 months ago

      Naismith 😉

      1. Holmes
        • 12 Years

        Well, he can to :rofl:

  12. Mr_Partridge
    • 11 Years

    Leicester have been pretty filthy this game

    1. Not Irish
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 7 months ago

      So typical. 😆

    2. Old Man
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 7 months ago

      I have never read so much rubbish - you've been looking at another game.

      1. Mr_Partridge
        • 11 Years
        11 years, 7 months ago

        Ramsey Ozil Ox all limping in last 10 mins

    3. Lanley Staurel
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 7 months ago

      Indeed. Dirty team. It will only get them so far in the Prem.

  13. Marshall126
    • 15 Years
    11 years, 7 months ago

    Anyone know if Total FPL is still accurate for predicting price changes? Seemed alot more accurate last year. Thanks.

    1. Sess!
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 7 months ago

      No none of them accurate at moment as can't get the right data.

    2. vova
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 7 months ago

      It usually takes a bit of time to figure out how price changes work, they will become more accurate with time.

  14. HuttonDressedasLahm
    • 16 Years
    11 years, 7 months ago

    Where's my Ramsey goal? I didn't pay 9 million for this!

    1. Bod
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 7 months ago

      You paid 9m for someone valued at 5m last year

  15. Epic Fail
    • 15 Years
    11 years, 7 months ago

    If say Chambers got injured and had to go off, would he still officially be in the game?

    1. UnderstandablyDistraught
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 7 months ago

      No

      1. Epic Fail
        • 15 Years
        11 years, 7 months ago

        Why not?

        1. JWF
          • 16 Years
          11 years, 7 months ago

          Yes, he would.

    2. Billy Gilmore
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 7 months ago

      If he's not subbed, yes. Happened in the Liverpool game against City, when our defence all got injured.

      1. Billy Gilmore
        • 13 Years
        11 years, 7 months ago

        GJ played 90 mins according to FPL.

        1. JWF
          • 16 Years
          11 years, 7 months ago

          In GJ's case it didn't make much difference whether he was physically on the pitch or not.

          1. Billy Gilmore
            • 13 Years
            11 years, 7 months ago

            🙂

      2. Epic Fail
        • 15 Years
        11 years, 7 months ago

        Cheers. Yeah that's what I meant. They've already used their subs.

  16. vova
    • 15 Years
    11 years, 7 months ago

    Anyone considering Andy King? He must be good if they named their stadium after him.

  17. Bridge Burner
    • 11 Years
    11 years, 7 months ago

    With Man Utd doing so bad anyone considering trading Rooney for Naismith?

    1. Sess!
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 7 months ago

      Not this week

    2. Ad4m
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 7 months ago

      Yep - May well do this today

  18. NIGHTHIKER - I Kane, I Shaw…
    • 11 Years
    11 years, 7 months ago

    I swear this is the 1st season I can remember that there hasn't been an early £4.5 mid bandwagon... (think Barkley)

    1. Gaz Downright
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 7 months ago

      Barton all time favorite 4.5

  19. Andre W
    • 11 Years
    11 years, 7 months ago

    Anyone know about this Janmaat injury?

    1. andyinasia
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 7 months ago

      No but at 75% chance I'd say he misses a meaningless friendly and is back in 2 weeks.

  20. Count of Monte Hristo
    • 12 Years
    11 years, 7 months ago

    Ramsey is a bit special today

    1. Sess!
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 7 months ago

      Needs

  21. Yome
    • 14 Years
    11 years, 7 months ago

    Arsenal 24 attempts and only 1 goal. That is why you need to buy a world class striker

    1. Red Devil Swede
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 7 months ago

      Mou learnt this. Wenger should know..

    2. Kew Pee Arr
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 7 months ago

      You should sent that to Wenger s.w.a.l.k. And he still wouldn't buy a striker, or DM for that matter.

      A Groundhog Day 4th placed finish for Arsenal.

  22. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
    • 15 Years

    Big ramsey exodus this gw

    I predict a price drop

    1. Sess!
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 7 months ago

      You on a wind up

      1. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
        • 15 Years
        11 years, 7 months ago

        Knee jerk

        People will sell

        1. Sess!
          • 15 Years
          11 years, 7 months ago

          They won't......not enough for price drop.

    2. Lawrø
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 7 months ago

      Excellent, season keeper for me so price is irrelevant, more of a differential!

    3. Pork Pie Sausage Roll
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 7 months ago

      I hope so, would love his ownership to be lower so when he inevitably scores it'll boost my up the leagues. The guy is a season keeper

    4. NIGHTHIKER - I Kane, I Shaw…
      • 11 Years
      11 years, 7 months ago

      Tempted to use Ramsey out as a 0.6-funding-makeweight in my planned Mata -> Di Maria transfer (after internationals in case anyone else gets injured) Question is though, who's the best mid for £8.4m?

  23. 50shades of o'shea
    • 12 Years
    11 years, 7 months ago

    Balotelli or adebayor captain?

    1. Lawrø
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 7 months ago

      Neither.

    2. OPTA FPL
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 7 months ago

      Balo

  24. Lawrø
    • 14 Years
    11 years, 7 months ago

    This is our season! 😎

    1. OPTA FPL
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 7 months ago

      Leicester City?

    2. Licky
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 7 months ago

      Nah City or Chelsea's, unfortunately they're just too strong, it would take a Herculean effort to knock them off their stride, and I think it'll be that way for a while unfortunately.

  25. SpicyItalian22
    • 11 Years
    11 years, 7 months ago

    5 MINUTES TO RAMSEY GOAL WOOHOOOOOOOO

  26. Red Devil Swede
    • 13 Years
    11 years, 7 months ago

    Chambers on 8 pts incl baps right now. Oh the luck!

    1. Sess!
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 7 months ago

      Wonder how many casuals bring him in.

      1. Red Devil Swede
        • 13 Years
        11 years, 7 months ago

        Hopefully a few!

  27. dribbler
    • 16 Years
    11 years, 7 months ago

    how dare he stamp on the ankle of a fantasy hot-shot

  28. JPeg
    • 15 Years
    11 years, 7 months ago

    As a non-Ramsey captainer but a Ramsey owner do I want him to score now? Around 170K at present...

    1. gravless
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 7 months ago

      no

    2. JWF
      • 16 Years
      11 years, 7 months ago

      You always want your players to score.

  29. Bielsa's Bucket
    • 14 Years
    11 years, 7 months ago

    Arsenal have been pretty poor, not even the fact we don't have an experienced striker, just generally overall poor.
    You can rinse Sanago all you like, but the kid apart from Sanchez and Debuchy has probably been one of our better players on the pitch.
    Dunno whether its because the midfield has been generally bullied or just can't be arsed, poor showing.
    At least I get a Chambers cleanie... (I say with 5 minutes left)

    1. Not Irish
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 7 months ago

      Harsh on Ramsey. Debuchy's done nothing of note aside from avoiding a booking.

  30. OnionBag
    • 12 Years
    11 years, 7 months ago

    Chambers on for 8 points (incl 2 BAPS)!
