Gameweek 14 reaches its apogee with a pair of intriguing mid-afternoon match-ups. Liverpool look to build on their head-turning triumph at the Etihad when Swansea City pay a visit, while Norwich City host an Arsenal outfit that will be determined to bounce back from their home defeat to West Brom.

The Reds’ attack has kicked into life under Jurgen Klopp and ranks joint-top over the last four Gameweeks for attempts (67) and shots inside the box (44). Moreover, no side managed more key passes (55) than the Merseysiders during that period. As for the Swans, they place fourth-bottom for attempts (36), having drawn blanks in two of their previous three outings. Garry Monk’s beleaguered outfit has flattered to deceive at the back, too, conceding nine big chances since Gameweek 10.

The Canaries have battened down the hatches in response to their 6-2 mauling at the hands of Newcastle United in Gameweek 9, conceding just four goals in as many fixtures. However, goals (two in four) have not been forthcoming, with the Norfolk outfit also ranking second-bottom for attempts (34). The Gunners will feel they have enough firepower to break Norwich’s resistance, considering they amassed more big chances (14) than any side over the last four Gameweeks.

    Lucas and Couitnho will be spooning before 60'.

    This ain't kickboxing, Cathorla.

  3. The Machine
    • 12 Years
    10 years, 4 months ago

    Cazorla injured

    What a joke

  4. Trae44
    • 10 Years
    10 years, 4 months ago

    Monreal down, this Arsenal defence could turn to a mess 🙁

    1. Trae44
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 4 months ago

      Wow i'm stupid, it was Cazorla

  5. Royal5
    • 14 Years
    10 years, 4 months ago

    Caz dead now. It never stops.

  6. King Kav. QC at law
    • 10 Years
    10 years, 4 months ago

    Cazorla shaves his legs.

    1. In Like Flynn.
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 15 Years
      10 years, 4 months ago

      Aerodynamics. We all do it now. Can't fly with hairy legs.

      1. King Kav. QC at law
        • 10 Years
        10 years, 4 months ago

        Not me, I'm as hairy as the gruffalo.

  7. Lizard Lips
    • 13 Years
    10 years, 4 months ago

    Bellerin never seems to score assist or keep a cleanie.

    1. Harper_
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 4 months ago

      Except three weeks ago when he did exactly that.

    2. King Kav. QC at law
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 4 months ago

      How do you explain the 6 CS and 2 assists this season?

  8. Greenbackbøøg…
    • 11 Years
    10 years, 4 months ago

    Arsenals injuries are just becoming ridiculous now

  9. Mull
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    10 years, 4 months ago

    Picking Cazorla over Ozil in UFPL has probably cost me a top 50 rank 🙁

    1. Bolivian Seaman
      • 15 Years
      10 years, 4 months ago

      Same in sky, but I'm a lot lower than top 50

  10. Count of Monte Hristo
    • 12 Years
    10 years, 4 months ago

    Arsenal are a bunch of poosies!

      You are what you eat

  11. The Machine
    • 12 Years
    10 years, 4 months ago

    Monreal seems to be the only that remembers how to defend today

  12. FPL Daniel
    • 16 Years
    10 years, 4 months ago

    Giroud on penalties

    1. The Machine
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 4 months ago

      Caz back

  13. Lizard Lips
    • 13 Years
    10 years, 4 months ago

    giroud down now!

  14. Jammy Dodger
    • 11 Years
    10 years, 4 months ago

    lads I need some advice on how to get Ozil in - shocking that I haven't as yet...

    Butland / McCarthy
    Toby / Moreno / Sagna / VVD / Richards
    Sanchez / Barkley / KDB / Mahrez / Moses
    Aguero / Lukaku / Vardy

    0.0 in the bank

    Thanks in advance!

    1. Andy1
      • 16 Years
      10 years, 4 months ago

      In for aguero

  15. The Machine
    • 12 Years
    10 years, 4 months ago

    Cazorla back on...if this was sturridge he would not have even tried

    1. Numb
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 4 months ago

      Aguero would have been signalling to the bench before he even hit the ground

      1. The Machine
        • 12 Years
        10 years, 4 months ago

        😆

  16. Lizard Lips
    • 13 Years
    10 years, 4 months ago

    swansea doing a lot of attacking can see them scoring

  17. It’s gonna Ben Mee
    • 12 Years
    10 years, 4 months ago

    Aguero should play in Arsenal as injury prone as he is.

  18. Sverdet
    • 11 Years
    10 years, 4 months ago

    Zouma nailed after Terry's back? Really tempting, 2/2 CS last two games, 5.4 and BOU, lei, SUN and WAT next four matches, what more can you ask? Decent threat on set pieces as well.

    1. TorresMagic™
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 16 Years
      10 years, 4 months ago

      Only looks like 1 CS there.

      1. Mull
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        10 years, 4 months ago

        Look harder then.

      2. Lizard Lips
        • 13 Years
        10 years, 4 months ago

        and 2 goals for zouma!

      3. Numb
        • 11 Years
        10 years, 4 months ago

        2 or 3 IMO.

      4. Sverdet
        • 11 Years
        10 years, 4 months ago

        2, maybe 3 IMO. But is he nailed after terry's back

    2. Trae44
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 4 months ago

      Don't know if he's nailed but looks like my transfer this week

    3. Adam West - Team Serbia for…
      • 15 Years
      10 years, 4 months ago

      I think the spot is his for the min even if Terry comes back . He started the last two before Terry was injured .

    4. Harper_
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 4 months ago

      Might get him for Sagna.

    5. Sverdet
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 4 months ago

      Thanks guys, seems like I'm doing jenkinson -> zoom this week. Cant believe i've had jenkinson for this long. Two goals in a row was sweet though

  19. RÏɠBY
    • 14 Years
    10 years, 4 months ago

    arsenal need more weetabix

  20. The Machine
    • 12 Years
    10 years, 4 months ago

    Giroud is absolutely useless. Worse than even those who call him a donkey think. Terrible

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

      Add Ramsey

      1. The Machine
        • 12 Years
        10 years, 4 months ago

        No he isnt. Bad game today but adds good balance

        Way better than ox and joel

    2. Make United Great Again
      • 13 Years
      10 years, 4 months ago

      I disagree completely. He cost Arsenal 10m and has a good goal scoring record for that price.

      It's not his fault Wenger makes him number 1 ST and not backup to a superior player.

      1. The Machine
        • 12 Years
        10 years, 4 months ago

        Just becuase wenger is incorrectly playing him doesnt mean he is rubbish

    3. In Like Flynn.
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 15 Years
      10 years, 4 months ago

      True. 7 goals 51 points is pants.

      Whereas the mighty Aguero has 7 goals 1 assist and 52 points and is only £4 million more.

      1. The Machine
        • 12 Years
        10 years, 4 months ago

        Im not talking bout fpl

        1. In Like Flynn.
          • Has Moderation Rights
          • 15 Years
          10 years, 4 months ago

          Sorry, I thought I was on a Fantasy Football site.

        2. RÏɠBY
          • 14 Years
          10 years, 4 months ago

          in real terms 7 goals from his starts is pretty bloody good

          1. The Machine
            • 12 Years
            10 years, 4 months ago

            Its what he adds to team

            Notthing

    4. Somalion
      • 16 Years
      10 years, 4 months ago

      Now to wait for when he scores and everyone's back to "Can't believe people call him a donkey".

      1. The Machine
        • 12 Years
        10 years, 4 months ago

        Lol this i watch every second of every arsenal game he is pants

  21. PGR
    • 14 Years
    10 years, 4 months ago

    Is Courtois likely to be back next week?

    1. Andy1
      • 16 Years
      10 years, 4 months ago

      I read somewhere that it was 15th

  22. adidasOriginals
    • 10 Years
    10 years, 4 months ago

    Does anyone know how to spice up a work league?
    All of our teams are starting to mirror each other and its getting a bit dull.
    There is only 3 of us. Thinking of not allowing the 3rd person to transfer in a player if the other 2 already have him. Any thoughts or other ideas?

    1. Alan The Llama
      • 16 Years
      10 years, 4 months ago

      You're third then?

    2. FALCAO & MOU
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 4 months ago

      Give it to your daughter, tell her to do whatever she wants and then press confirm transfers.

    3. Scab
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 4 months ago

      Make more friends

    4. Gnu
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      10 years, 4 months ago

      Put all your keys in a bowl on the table and send your wives/girlfriends out the room... hold on, how spicy do you want it?

    5. F_Ivanovic
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 4 months ago

      What is it, just a normal league? I'm in a 10 team H2H, loads of fun. Sure there are a few similar teams but enough differences in them to make it exciting. (C) choices can often be the crucial decider.

    6. Harper_
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 4 months ago

      All wildcard at the same time and then have a draft for the players you want to bring in.

  23. It’s gonna Ben Mee
    • 12 Years
    10 years, 4 months ago

    Is Firmino on the pitch?

  24. Lizard Lips
    • 13 Years
    10 years, 4 months ago

    ozil misses open goal

    1. Bubz
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 4 months ago

      Apart from the two players in front of him

    2. 4vets
      • 15 Years
      10 years, 4 months ago

      Description fail

    3. Trae44
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 4 months ago

      Think your definition of an open goal might be abit different to everyone else's

  25. ACCOUNTING ON CHRIS
    • 12 Years
    10 years, 4 months ago

    Why did Ozil clear it!!

    1. King Kav. QC at law
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 4 months ago

      🙄

  26. Chris_White
    • 14 Years
    10 years, 4 months ago

    My god Ruddy is crap

    1. Sailboats
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 4 months ago

      You sound surprised

      1. Chris_White
        • 14 Years
        10 years, 4 months ago

        He used to be decent from what I remember

    2. The Light Knight
      • 14 Years
      10 years, 4 months ago

      I think the term "positionally confused" is preferred

    3. FPL Daniel
      • 16 Years
      10 years, 4 months ago

      You just realised??

  27. The Light Knight
    • 14 Years
    10 years, 4 months ago

    Cazorla = Spanish Tom Daley
    Hairless and a decent diver

  28. TorresMagic™
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • Has Moderation Rights
    • 16 Years
    10 years, 4 months ago

    Caz yellow card

  29. Sjaugen
    • 10 Years
    10 years, 4 months ago

    Arsenal and their insistence of walking the ball in...

  30. The Enlightener
    • 12 Years
    10 years, 4 months ago

    Cathorla probably has speedos on under his shorts.
