Rounding off the weekend’s entertainment, there are a quartet of teams battling for supremacy at opposite ends of the country. Liverpool search for their first in win three outings when they host Stoke City, while Tottenham Hotspur duel with Manchester United at White Hart Lane.

Liverpool’s attack is in fine fettle ahead of their double next Gameweek, given that they managed the joint-third-most goals (eight) and second-most shots on target (27) over their last four matches. However, prospective investors will be concerned that the Reds possess the joint-third-worst shot-conversion rate (8%) in home matches. As for the Potters, they’ve recorded one clean sheet in 10 matches yet conceded the joint-second-fewest big chances (two) across their previous four fixtures.

Spurs maintained their attacking dominance during the last four Gameweeks, registering the joint-third-most goals (eight), most attempts (80), joint-most big chances (10) and most shots on target (31). As for the Red Devils, they ranked joint-third-bottom for goals (three), third-bottom for attempts (36), second-bottom for shots inside the box (18) and joint-third-bottom for shots on target (10), augmenting the Lilywhites’ clean-sheet prospects.

    1. BENOIT
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 12 months ago

      How is Origi already on 27?

  4. Lizard Lips

    Martial not going to get any points in years here. Hopefully he looks better against next weeks poor opponents.

    1. Murder on Zidane's Flo…
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 12 months ago

      He will. Flat track bully.

  5. FudgyBadger

    Iwobi minutes prediction GW34 ?

    1. Gaffa914
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 12 months ago

      181

    2. Jazz!
      • 11 Years

      60 60

    3. Chris_White
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 12 months ago

      Anything between 100 and 150

    4. Stephen - Robot Daniels
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 12 months ago

      98

    5. FudgyBadger
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 12 months ago

      Hmm, might switch him for Ozil

  6. S.Kuqi
    • 13 Years
    9 years, 12 months ago

    Looks like Simpson and Sanchez are my only bright sparks of my wc team.

    Bolasie could have been so good punt but he is even worse finisher than Sterling.

      • 10 Years
      9 years, 12 months ago

      Do you realize that the GW hasn't finished yet and Bolasie still has a game to play?

      1. S.Kuqi
        • 13 Years
        9 years, 12 months ago

        Do you realize how poor Bolasie and Palace are? I didn't

          • 10 Years
          9 years, 12 months ago

          They've been like this the whole 2016, not recording a single win in the league.

          What were you expecting? A hattie or nothing - typical Bolasie

          1. S.Kuqi
            • 13 Years
            9 years, 12 months ago

            Apparently he should have scored atleast 1 goal yesterday 🙁

            Hope he rewards me in next game but won't be holding my breath

    Always planned to get Milner....next week. Bet he'll get benched now!

    1. Murder on Zidane's Flo…
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 12 months ago

      Probably! Can back from his suspension, will probable partner Allen for one

  8. Jazz!
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 12 months ago

    Milner.

  9. sully29
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 12 months ago

    Milner first on bench.

    Any chance Coutinho doesn't come on for a cameo? 🙁

  10. Hotdogs for Tea
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 12 months ago

    Milner to play midweek and rested for DGW 34

  11. Jafooli
    • 14 Years
    9 years, 12 months ago

    What score does Lukaku need to get on Wednesday to be considered even remotely acceptable considering the mess he's got most of us in?

    1. Jazz!
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 12 months ago

      50

      1. Mark-O
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 12 months ago

        Aguero 25 with 5 goals against Newcastle

        You must be joking

        1. Jazz!
          • 11 Years
          9 years, 12 months ago

          50 as captain so 5 goals will do.

          1. Mark-O
            • 10 Years
            9 years, 12 months ago

            Lukaku aint Aguero to me at all

            Lukaku [c] here too

    2. Greenbackbøøg…
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 12 months ago

      20

    3. Sergeant Garcia
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 12 months ago

      A hattrick as I'm triple captaining him 😛

    4. Lizard Lips
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 12 months ago

      One goal or assist was always going to be acceptable return.

      1. Lizard Lips
        • 13 Years
        9 years, 12 months ago

        7 points overall one assist. Be happy with that.

    5. Hotdogs for Tea
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 12 months ago

      A brace midweek

    6. Freshy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 12 months ago

      Suppose its about Poole getting over Dort?

    7. Chris_White
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 12 months ago

      A goal?

    8. andy85wsm
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 12 months ago

      Probably just a goal the way this week has gone so far. Don't think my new side is far behind the old side.

  12. FPL Daniel
    • 16 Years
    9 years, 12 months ago

    For the record I had that dilemma Milner or Bolasie. Went Bolasie of course. lol @ me 🙂

    1. Sergeant Garcia
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 12 months ago

      lol

      • 10 Years
      9 years, 12 months ago

      Yes but you probably dodged a bullet by not chosing any of other 150 fail options you considered.

      Can you ever have fun and enjoy this game? And stop moaning all the time

  13. Jay_
      9 years, 12 months ago

      Anyone hear that?

      "Timmy, Timmy, come 'ere. Oh my god I hate you, Timmy, Timothy" 😀

      1. Stephen - Robot Daniels
        • 13 Years
        9 years, 12 months ago

        Poor Sherwood

    • DanLFC1
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 12 months ago

      Bolasie over Milner and will ultimately cost me 4 points as well FML

      1. Rhys85
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 12 months ago

        I went Bolasie over Milner too! Forget Milner they said!

    • For Fuchs Sake
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 12 months ago

      My mate is on 88 points already!!! Whatttt!!!

      1. Freshy
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 15 Years
        9 years, 12 months ago

        Id shoot him

        1. For Fuchs Sake
          • 16 Years
          9 years, 12 months ago

          nah he's miles behind me!

      2. Jafooli
        • 14 Years
        9 years, 12 months ago

        Obviously didn't play his WC then.....

        1. For Fuchs Sake
          • 16 Years
          9 years, 12 months ago

          He did but kept Vardy, Ozil, got in Pelle, had Henn

      How's Rashford playing?

      1. Lizard Lips
        • 13 Years
        9 years, 12 months ago

        All United forwards look devoid ATM but they're playing at the hardest ground in the League. Next two matches are perfect for them, Rashford could easily brace next week.

    • Declan
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 12 months ago

      Milner

    • The Red Devil
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 12 months ago

      Milner has provided with more assists than any other liverpool player this season in all competitions (10)

      • 13 Years
      9 years, 12 months ago

    • Lateriser 12
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years

      Anyone has the overall average on them?

      1. Meinhoff
        • 13 Years
        9 years, 12 months ago

        37

    • Lateriser 12
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 12 months ago

      Moreno -> Origi open goal miss.

        • 10 Years
        9 years, 12 months ago

        That pass from Ojo to Moreno tho...

      1. Mílanista
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        9 years, 12 months ago

        FFS

    • Bøwstring The Carp
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 12 months ago

      Can being banned makes Milner such a good option

      The least likely to be rested imo especially as captain

      1. Mark-O
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 12 months ago

        Anyone can be the captain. Flanagan was a captain for once.

    • Puzzle
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 12 months ago

      Both Liverpool and Stoke's defending today is horrible. More goals incoming.
