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

    1. OPTA FPL
      • 14 Years

      Sterling is 1 surely

      1. Tinchy Sneijder
        • 11 Years
        11 years, 4 months ago

        Sterling Sturridge Hendo

      2. Jafooli
        • 13 Years
        11 years, 4 months ago

        Maybe Hendo but those mids positions are precious.

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

      Why would you want three? I think Sterling is sufficient for now.

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

      Think you just go with sterling and one of the strikers

        2. Gimli son of Gloin
          • 13 Years
          11 years, 4 months ago

          Obviously I would have checked before transferring him in.

  11. McSauce
    • 16 Years
    11 years, 4 months ago

    Don't have him but Sturridge (C) next week! EXPLOSION INCOMING

    1. Heydudes13
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 4 months ago

      More consistent than explosive.

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

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

    Have this:
    Mata, Ramsey, Sterling, Sigurdsson, Marney
    Rooney, Jovetic, Adebayor

    Looking at this:
    Hazard, Ramsey, Sterling, Sigurdsson, Marney
    Balotelli, Aguero, Adebayor

    1. Tinchy Sneijder
      • 11 Years
      11 years, 4 months ago

      I have the same with Cosya for Balo

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

      Fabs better option than Hazard on current form?

      1. Doosra - ☭DeclanMyGeniusâ…
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 16 Years
        11 years, 4 months ago

        Neither, for me.

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

    Sterling is the saviour of English football.

    Could be an all time great

    1. Heydudes13
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 4 months ago

      Thoughts like this is what creates ridiculous levels of hype and pressure.

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

      Him and a fit Walcott in the same team would be great

    3. Long Juan Silva
      • 11 Years
      11 years, 4 months ago

      But won't be because idiots make claims like this a lump way too much pressure on him

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

        Calling me an idiot?

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

          Yes, he is

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

    God I'm tempted to WC

    1. Jax
      • 16 Years
      11 years, 4 months ago

    2. 7shadesofsmoke
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 4 months ago

      Weimann/Gabby combo?

      1. Venom Snake
        • 12 Years
        11 years, 4 months ago

        Triple up with Guzan

        1. Jax
          • 16 Years
          11 years, 4 months ago

          yeah clever.

          Stylish selection

    3. Not Irish
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 4 months ago

      Nailed on for me as long as one more bandwagon presents itself.

  17. Jafooli
    • 13 Years
    11 years, 4 months ago

    Sterling needs to work on his speed.

  18. Jack Frost
    • 15 Years
    11 years, 4 months ago

    Which team has changed its character (style of play) the most this season?

    1. SW6
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 4 months ago

      Palace

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

      United

      1. Jack Frost
        • 15 Years
        11 years, 4 months ago

        Agree on Palace, United too but OUCH.

    3. Willis.
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 4 months ago

      Chelsea

      1. Jack Frost
        • 15 Years
        11 years, 4 months ago

        Yes but Chelsea is just a talent change, methinks.

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

      Comparing to last season?

      Chelsea

  19. Stephen - Robot Daniels
    • 13 Years
    11 years, 4 months ago

    Spurs playing like they're a man down.

  20. Venom Snake
    • 12 Years
    11 years, 4 months ago

    Mario might not get a bap all season

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

    Barn door

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

    Pick one midfielder and one striker form these:
    Siggy or Hendo or Chadli
    And
    Costa or Balotelli

    Kinda has to be Costa and Siggy, right

    Would be taking out both Jovetic and Mata btw. (For a hit)

    Do I do it now?

    1. Jack Frost
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 4 months ago

      Yes, Yes

      1. Fifa las vegas
        • 13 Years

  25. Not Irish

    Sakho is world class say the Scouse. 😆

  26. Doosra - ☭DeclanMyGeniusâ…

    Sterling effort. Sterling silver! 😉

    1. Pork Pie Sausage Roll

  29. RoysCallerAnne
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 15 Years
    11 years, 4 months ago

    I remember all the lol ing on here at Henderson not too long ago. He is looking a very decent player these days.

    Carroll, Downing and Adam were total flops, but a shrewd bit of business from Kenny getting Suarez and. Henderson in.

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

      Henderson runs funny

      1. RoysCallerAnne

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

      why would you make those moves with games still to play?
