With an international break looming, we need to cherish this weekend’s action. Fortunately, on paper, the Gameweek looks to have plenty to offer us – beginning at Anfield for Liverpool’s clash with Chelsea.

Jose Mourinho’s side draw up on Merseyside sitting on the Premier League summit to find a faltering Liverpool outfit struggling for a foothold.

Brendan Rodgers men have just two wins in their last seven – a run that has prompted Fantasy managers to turn their backs on the men in red: even Raheem Sterling’s star has faded badly in recent weeks.

Sterling will have the opportunity to show his worth, going up against Chelsea’s cast of midfield heavyweights – Eden Hazard, Cesc Fabregas and Oscar. Meanwhile, up front, Fantasy managers will be monitoring Diego Costa’s sharpness. Once an “essential” asset, Costa’s recent injury woes have seen enthusiasm dampened – goals today would quickly reverse that.

The early kick-off is followed by a quartet of matches, before Chelsea’s title rivals, City, pay visit to Loftus Road.

Stick around to discuss the day’s action as it unfolds and keep one eye on our Twitter feed for all the lineup news.

Mark Mark created the beast. He's now looking to tame it.

      11 years, 5 months ago

        • 12 Years
        11 years, 5 months ago

        11 years, 5 months ago

        no because Silva is not the 3rd top scoring mid.

        1. CTID_
          • 11 Years
          11 years, 5 months ago

          But silva is the best chance creater in t

          1. CTID_

            11 years, 5 months ago

            the world

      1. Piggs Boson
        • 14 Years
        11 years, 5 months ago

        3rd highest scoring mid.

        1. chrisjdgrady
          • 12 Years
          11 years, 5 months ago

          But if he doesn't get penalties he's gonna do this more often than not :/

        2. Billy Gilmore
          • 13 Years
          11 years, 5 months ago

          Will be lucky to be in the top 10 at the end of the week.

        3. The Machine
          • 12 Years
          11 years, 5 months ago

          Not after this week. Not even top 5

    3. Chris_White
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 5 months ago

      This is what usually happens though. Not worth 10m as long as he doesn't have an end product 🙁

      1. johnbarnes
        • 11 Years
        11 years, 5 months ago

        3rd highest scoring mid.

    4. SW6
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 5 months ago

    Morning all. Just woke up (On holiday)

    Anyone care to give me a quick summary of the 'Pool v Chelsea game?

    1. FISSH
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 5 months ago

      Liverpool can't defend to save their lives
      Chelsea should be way ahead

    2. Banana Shaqiri - HMD, PUP
      • 11 Years
      11 years, 5 months ago

      Can early goal, Cancelled out by Cahill equaliser before the half. Costa scored ater the hour.

      Ref terrible - Sterling got a yellow for being elbowed in the face. Lots of Chelsea handballs.

      Hazard playing well but not scored/assisted so everybody on here is slating him.

      1. HuttonDressedasLahm
        • 16 Years

        Thanks Banana 🙂

    All you Hazard "3rd highest scoring midfielder"'s, go sort midfielders by value. takes a while to spot Hazard..

    1. Hibbo
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 5 months ago

      Probably the same for all the heavily priced options thou?

    2. Pigvig
      • 16 Years
      11 years, 5 months ago

    Do we really need "lol @ X Owners" posts? I mean why can't we act like gentlemen even if all of us are not in reality! For FFS sake! It's a great site so please don't discourage some people to come on here on matchdays.
