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.

        Forward goal = 24

    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…
      10 years, 7 months ago

      He will. Flat track bully.

  5. FudgyBadger

    Iwobi minutes prediction GW34 ?

    1. Gaffa914
      10 years, 7 months ago

      181

    2. Jazz!
      10 years, 7 months ago

      60 60

    3. Chris_White
      10 years, 7 months ago

      Anything between 100 and 150

    4. Stephen - Robot Daniels
      10 years, 7 months ago

      98

    5. FudgyBadger
      10 years, 7 months ago

      Hmm, might switch him for Ozil

  6. S.Kuqi
    10 years, 7 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.

    1. JØ
      10 years, 7 months ago

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

      1. S.Kuqi
        10 years, 7 months ago

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

        1. JØ
          10 years, 7 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
            10 years, 7 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

  7. andy85wsm

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

    1. Murder on Zidane's Flo…
      10 years, 7 months ago

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

  8. Jazz!
    10 years, 7 months ago

    Milner.

  9. sully29
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    10 years, 7 months ago

    Milner first on bench.

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

  10. Hotdogs for Tea
    10 years, 7 months ago

    Milner to play midweek and rested for DGW 34

  11. Jafooli
    10 years, 7 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!
      10 years, 7 months ago

      50

      1. Mark-O
        10 years, 7 months ago

        Aguero 25 with 5 goals against Newcastle

        You must be joking

        1. Jazz!
          10 years, 7 months ago

          50 as captain so 5 goals will do.

          1. Mark-O
            10 years, 7 months ago

            Lukaku aint Aguero to me at all

            Lukaku [c] here too

    2. Greenbackbøøg…
      10 years, 7 months ago

      20

    3. Sergeant Garcia
      10 years, 7 months ago

      A hattrick as I'm triple captaining him 😛

    4. Lizard Lips
      10 years, 7 months ago

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

      1. Lizard Lips
        10 years, 7 months ago

        7 points overall one assist. Be happy with that.

    5. Hotdogs for Tea
      10 years, 7 months ago

      A brace midweek

    6. Freshy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      10 years, 7 months ago

      Suppose its about Poole getting over Dort?

    7. Chris_White
      10 years, 7 months ago

      A goal?

    8. andy85wsm
      • Has Moderation Rights
      10 years, 7 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
    10 years, 7 months ago

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

    1. Sergeant Garcia
      10 years, 7 months ago

      lol

    2. JØ
      10 years, 7 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_
    10 years, 7 months ago

    Anyone hear that?

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

    1. Stephen - Robot Daniels
      10 years, 7 months ago

      Poor Sherwood

  14. DanLFC1
    10 years, 7 months ago

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

    1. Rhys85
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      10 years, 7 months ago

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

  15. For Fuchs Sake
    10 years, 7 months ago

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

    1. Freshy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      10 years, 7 months ago

      Id shoot him

      1. For Fuchs Sake
        10 years, 7 months ago

        nah he's miles behind me!

    2. Jafooli
      10 years, 7 months ago

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

      1. For Fuchs Sake
        10 years, 7 months ago

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

  16. pundit of punts
    10 years, 7 months ago

    How's Rashford playing?

    1. Lizard Lips
      10 years, 7 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.

  17. Declan
    10 years, 7 months ago

    Milner

  18. The Red Devil
    10 years, 7 months ago

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

    Source - Opta

      10 years, 7 months ago

  21. Rusty Nail
    10 years, 7 months ago

    In other news Ben arfa just scored a hattrick

    1. Hobolicious
      10 years, 7 months ago

      He has been unplayable all season for Nice.

  22. Mark-O
    10 years, 7 months ago

    Origi-nally essential in dgw

  23. Somalion
    10 years, 7 months ago

    Milner

  24. Greenbackbøøg…
    10 years, 7 months ago

    2. Mark-O
      10 years, 7 months ago

    3. Mr. Blonde
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      10 years, 7 months ago

      Most overhyped "project" in the league

  25. Lizard Lips
    10 years, 7 months ago

    Lallana and Coutinho to get 30 minute run out for Firmino and Sturridge??

  26. Horlicks esq.
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    10 years, 7 months ago

    Cech
    Damian
    Sakho
    Coutinho

      10 years, 7 months ago

      Me too

      8pt hit maybe 12 wanted iwobi but jags and Barkley seen to it that I cant

      1. BB-8
        10 years, 7 months ago

  27. Lateriser 12

    Anyone has the overall average on them?

    1. Meinhoff
      10 years, 7 months ago

      37

  28. Lateriser 12
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    10 years, 7 months ago

    Moreno -> Origi open goal miss.

    1. JØ
      10 years, 7 months ago

      That pass from Ojo to Moreno tho...

    2. Mílanista
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      10 years, 7 months ago

      FFS

  29. Bøwstring The Carp
    10 years, 7 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, 7 months ago

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

  30. Puzzle
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    10 years, 7 months ago

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