Fantasy managers have three matches to feast their eyes on today before the international break is upon us. Up first, Spurs welcome Liverpool to the Lane as Mauricio Pochettino’s side attempt to pick up a third straight win under the new man in charge.

A host of players from both sides are on the radar this afternoon, with Christian Eriksen, Erik Lamela, Nacer Chadli and Emmanuel Adebayor key to the hosts’ chances of avenging the 5-0 humiliation that led to Andre Villas-Boas’ departure last year. Liverpool are poised for a superb run of fixtures after this match and while Daniel Sturridge and Raheem Sterling are the obvious targets, Mario Balotelli’s display will be eagerly analysed.

Villa and Hull go head-to-head in the other 1.30pm kick-off, with Paul Lambert’s side seeking a third successive shut-out before the fixtures take a real turn for the worse.

In the final match of the Gameweek, Leicester entertain Arsenal at 4pm. Aaron Ramsey rolls up to the King Power Stadium looking to net for the third successive league match, whilst Alexis Sanchez is also finding his form – having scored the winner against Besiktas in midweek, the Chilean’s confidence is on the rise.

Paul Is certain he won't make the same mistakes next season. Follow them on Twitter

      300,000 pounds is a lot of money

      I'm gonna be one of them unfortunately.. I did good with my 49 points(-8) yesterday, was hoping to do damage control today but I guess it's already ruined..

      Anyone with Mata in the first place should donate £1 to charity

    Just watching MOTD, surely it was a Caulker assist?

      There's a football match on right now you know...

  3. Mr_Partridge
    • 11 Years
    11 years, 4 months ago

    Sturridge looking very sharpe

    1. Jairzinho
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 4 months ago

      His goal celebration is a similar to Sharpe's.

      That's about as far as it goes.

  4. Kip

    Mata => sterling it is

    1. Pavsboot
      • 11 Years
      11 years, 4 months ago

      Yeah think I gotta make it too

    2. Venom Snake

      100%

    3. Heydudes13

  6. Paul Psychic Octopus

    Everyone drooling over Sterling… but another assist for Henderson, he's playing further forward, and is only 6.0m

    1. Captain Shirokov
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 4 months ago

      Henderson is NOT playing further forward

      1. Paul Psychic Octopus
        • 14 Years
        11 years, 4 months ago

        Than last year? Of course he is. Allen/Gerrard deeper - last season he was alongside Gerrad

    2. Kerz
      • 11 Years
      11 years, 4 months ago

      One word. Sigurdsson.

      No space for Hendo in the Siggy - Fab - Sterling - Rambo template.

  8. Captain Shirokov

    Shocking miss from Ball

  9. 7shadesofsmoke
    • 12 Years
    11 years, 4 months ago

    Need Sturridge to outshine Sterling so his value doesn't rocket!

    1. Kip
      • 11 Years
      11 years, 4 months ago

      with an ownership of around 40% atm, sterling won't rise for more than 0.1 imo

      1. 7shadesofsmoke
        • 12 Years
        11 years, 4 months ago

        extended window and we don't know how much ownership affects risers with the new system in place.

  13. TheBabyfacedAssassin
    • 16 Years
    11 years, 4 months ago

    so, do I knee jerk Mata to Sterling now (2FT) when United have QPR at home next? Sterling prob. gonna increase 0.3 and Mata decrease..

    1. Kip
      • 11 Years
      11 years, 4 months ago

      sterling wont rise 0.3 imo

  14. Jairzinho
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 15 Years

    Weimann assist.

  15. Pinoche
    • 13 Years
    11 years, 4 months ago

    Weeman assist

    1. 7shadesofsmoke
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 4 months ago

      Love it

      1. Schwarzer
        • 15 Years
        11 years, 4 months ago

        Same. On 69 points atm 😀

  16. Lucy.
    • 12 Years
    11 years, 4 months ago

    Balotelli missing but getting decent opportunities. Intriguing.

    1. Fifa las vegas
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 4 months ago

      +1

      May treble on Pool attack, maybe take a punt on Balotelli rather than getting Costa at this stage? 😐

      you should write a long book

  20. Jairzinho

    Come on City...

  21. Revival
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    11 years, 4 months ago

    Entertaining game this is so far, Liverpool look most likely to score next too

  22. Rödallegabomb ᴿᴮ
    • 13 Years
    11 years, 4 months ago

    Midfield of:

    Ramsey - Fabregas - Sterling - Sigurdsson

    Doing me very nicely indeed. The lot of them have high ownership and rising, but not many have all four, which is the differential.

    1. Harry Ball Bag™⚽⚽…
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 4 months ago

      Think most people will once they play the wildcard this weekend

    2. Yome
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 4 months ago

      Since the start of the season, it is indeed the best midfield. I have Mata instead of Fab though 🙁

      1. Kerz
        • 11 Years
        11 years, 4 months ago

        Same Yome. We need to bring Fab in ASAP!

        1. Matakuko
          • 14 Years
          11 years, 4 months ago

          Wait 2 weeks, swap for Silva/Nasri/Yaya! that's my plan

          1. Yome
            • 14 Years
            11 years, 4 months ago

            I would prefer Aguero up front though

        2. Yome
          • 14 Years
          11 years, 4 months ago

          I will bring him this week, he will rise again I reckon

  23. Harry Ball Bag™⚽⚽…
    • 15 Years
    11 years, 4 months ago

    Fabregas and costa too much Chelsea?..

    Front 8

    Fabregas sterling siggy Ramsay (Marney)

    Costa adebayor augero

    1. Schwarzer
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 4 months ago

      Nope.

    2. Kerz
      • 11 Years
      11 years, 4 months ago

      Perfect front 8.

    3. Albert_Luque
      • 11 Years
      11 years, 4 months ago

      this is my exact front eight from my wildcard last night. makes a lot of sense.

  24. Owd Big 'Ed
    • 16 Years
    11 years, 4 months ago

    Balotelli a decent option do we think? Nailed on?

    1. 7shadesofsmoke
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 4 months ago

      Looking sensual

    2. Harry Ball Bag™⚽⚽…
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 4 months ago

      Prefer sterling instead

      1. 7shadesofsmoke
        • 12 Years
        11 years, 4 months ago

        Both

    3. Fifa las vegas
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 4 months ago

      Could be

    4. Pavsboot
      • 11 Years
      11 years, 4 months ago

      If he looks nailed on might get him in for rooney

  25. Pinoche
    • 13 Years
    11 years, 4 months ago

    Sanchez to Sterling for me I guess.

  26. DropPointsNotBombs
    • 14 Years

    1. 7shadesofsmoke
