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.

    Rough and smooth for me I haven't WC til next week as no BB so still have Toby A

    Benched Alli and stuck the TC on Lukaku as a crazy punt (no ML rivals have it left either so no harm done if it fails)

    What a week, what can go wrong will go wrong.
    I expect a Lukaku red on Wednesday just to top it off

    The DGW players next week could be a leveller to those who have made up ground this week. My mate is on 109 points, but only has a few DGW players next week.

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

      Might not be prepared for 35 either.

  8. It’s gonna Ben Mee

    This makes me think of the preamble which marks talks about destroying the casuals

    Good job we're getting 160 points next week from the bench boost!

    1. KOLASINA(C)
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 12 months ago

      Not really

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

      Most of them won't play both in the luck we're in.

    3. Hamstergod

      cue all DGW matches postponed to 35 due to freak snowstorm

    4. ekul the lokonga enthusiast

      its crazy

  12. George Sillett
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 12 months ago

    Man U 1 shot on target , no change there then. Might have 2 against Villa with a really attacking display.

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

      Making me reconsider any united tbh

  13. Fred54

    GW 33 Massive step back
    GW34 Praying for a massive step forward
    Net result, back to where we started....

    1. Fred54
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 12 months ago

      With Palace and Everton players to boot. 🙁

  14. KOLASINA(C)

    BAN CHIPS AND STUPID SECOND WILDCARD

  15. JJeyy
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 12 months ago

    Monreal or Iwobi?

  16. Back on the horse
    • 15 Years
    9 years, 12 months ago

    Aren't you DGWERS getting a bit carried away? The dgw hasn't even been yet

    1. Danstoke82
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 12 months ago

      Can't see Everton giving us much to cheer in fairness.

    2. Fred54
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 12 months ago

      GW 33 Massive step back
      GW34 Praying for a massive step forward
      Net result, back to where we started....with a squad to sort out for blanking GW35.

  17. Danstoke82
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 12 months ago

    As soon as DGW is over I'm getting my Spurs boys and Vardy back. Sod this for a laugh.

    1. Les Bleus
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 12 months ago

      Can't believe we got rid. Unbelievable.

  18. Numb
    • 11 Years

    Average score up loads today!

  19. Would an idiot do that?
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 12 months ago

    Anyone know the site that tracks passes and tackles? Think it has total in the name

  20. Backup Dancer
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 12 months ago

    There's a simple explanation for all of this. The best two teams in the league don't have double game weeks.

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

    I'd say you could fill a swimming pool from the tears of FFS this week 🙁

  22. Bedknobs and Boomsticks
    • 16 Years
    9 years, 12 months ago

    Rose assist! Ok, so I transfered Toby out for him, but look on the bright side!

  23. Fowler23
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 12 months ago

    Omfg
    My rival has Kane, Lamela, Toby, Mahrez and Vardy.

    My 114 point lead has just been halved

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

      I daren't look at the moment, in a similar position

  24. 420king
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 12 months ago

    Ice Hockey!

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

    Alderweireld top 10k ownership?

    1. Les Bleus
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 12 months ago

      A lot

    2. Fred54
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 12 months ago

      People keep mentioning the top 10K.

      Surely a sample of the top 500K would suit us better...not being sarcy, genuinely mean that.

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

      Last time I checked a few weeks ago it was 70%. Probably gone down a bit by now

  26. Bubz
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 12 months ago

    Alderweireld started by 34.2% of top 10k. Alli started by 35.2% of top 10k

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

      Oh ffs....

    2. Moin
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 12 months ago

      36% of the top 10K are casuals?

  27. Jay_
      9 years, 12 months ago

      Martial don't get involved ffs

    • Frank Black
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 12 months ago

      Score: 30
      Bench Score: 24

      Iwobi was a great buy and keeping Rose was a good call. Williams CS was unexpected. If i had at least played the first two.

    • FudgyBadger
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 12 months ago

      proper footy scrap to finish things off

    • Ziro Becomes One
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 12 months ago

      Mark can rest easy now, FFSers going down the drain, leaving the casuals on top in peace and they are none the wiser. 😀
