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

      He's played a few decent balls through, unfortunately the players on the end of them are shite.

    Liverpoolvshould have risked it with Remy, Balo is shhhhh

  11. Bubz

    Rooney, Costa, Ballotelli looking like a tasty wildcard front line.

    1. Mílanista
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 7 months ago

      *Aguero, Costa, Balotelli

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

        Holy mackerel now that is sexy

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

      You watching Balotelli?

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

        Yeah, think he's been promising

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

          Missed open goal and two headers at the post?

          Not for me just yet.

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

            The open goal miss means nothing and the headers show he's getting into good positions. Just lacks match sharpness.

    3. Jax
      • 16 Years
      11 years, 7 months ago

      not after that miss

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

    Hmm, Rooney > Balotelli is starting to look interesting...

  13. Harry Ball Bag™âš½âš½…
    • 16 Years

    Chadli seems to be up front.... Worth getting instead of erikksen?

    On my wildcard

    1. Mílanista
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 7 months ago

      Chadli allows a lot elsewhere http://i.imgur.com/Rx3Ryrh.png

      ----Capoue--------Bentaleb-------

      Lamela-----Eriksen-------Chadli

    3. Kip
      • 12 Years

      could be worth a punt if he gets in the points today

  14. Wirtzle Gummidge
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    If I squint... I can almost see Cole and Yorke.

  15. Son is Rising
    • 15 Years

    Liverpool's attack looks impressive

  16. DIegoCosta19
    • 11 Years

    Sakho has the ball playing ability of a baby elephant

  17. flippetyflop
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    11 years, 7 months ago

    Looking at getting Sterling in before his inevitable price rise....do I transfer out Ramsey ( tough upcoming fixtures) or Mata (supposedly easy fixtures)

    1. Sebbo29
      • 11 Years
      11 years, 7 months ago

      would def keep Ramsey despite fixtures

  18. Wouter
    • 11 Years

    What's the Villa game like? Hull looking like scoring?

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

    2. OPTA FPL

      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 7 months ago

  22. Rambo Motin
    • 13 Years
    11 years, 7 months ago

    Adebayor + Sterling + 4.0 for Bojan + Mata + Debuchy

    -8 worth it?

  23. DIegoCosta19
    • 11 Years
    11 years, 7 months ago

    Manquilo is surely better than Johnson no?

    1. 4vets
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 7 months ago

      Much better

    2. piquiblanco
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 7 months ago

      Of course he is. Just a matter of time when Rodgers notices

  24. SW6
    • 13 Years

    Lamela got all the makings of a flat-track bully type player. Completely anonymous here.

      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      11 years, 7 months ago

      He is crap at that as well ....

  25. piquiblanco
    • 12 Years
    11 years, 7 months ago

    So I was thinking that Lamela and Ade are too much of the Spurs (I'm on WC) when I realized that I have exactly 1.4 itb which allows me to bring in Balotelli 🙂
    That's just great

  26. Wouter

    Just turned on a stream to see Weimann score 2-0.

  30. Bobby
    • 16 Years

    Third week in a row I've chosen eriksen over sterling. Probably should stop doing that.
