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

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

    Great save by Mignolet from AppleBonkers shot.

  12. The Bandit
    • 15 Years
    11 years, 4 months ago

    I think I may get Zaha instead of a Spud

    1. Woy of the Wovers
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 4 months ago

      Good call.

  13. Rödallegabomb ᴿᴮ

    Westwood off the bar from a free kick!

    1. 7shadesofsmoke
      • 12 Years

      Villa for CL?

  15. Waynoo
    • 12 Years
    11 years, 4 months ago

    Dawson is woeful. Hull need chester back

  16. Son is Rising
    • 15 Years
    11 years, 4 months ago

    Chadli should really have buried that, sat up nicely

  17. FF Dirtbag
    • 14 Years
    11 years, 4 months ago

    Mata - > Sterling. Good shout or not?

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

      I think I've decided to do it for a hit.. Not massively rushed to get rid of Mata but think the price swing might sway me.

      1. Call Me Old Fashioned
        • 14 Years
        11 years, 4 months ago

        Sterling's 38% ownership will swing me

    2.  ⓖⓐⓩⓩⓐ™
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 4 months ago

      I'm doing the same move

    3. Call Me Old Fashioned
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 4 months ago

      I am doing that tonight.

    4. Sebbo29
      • 11 Years
      11 years, 4 months ago

      Absolutely yes

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

      A new one on me, take that chance if you want. Risky though, not many will be that brave.

    6. Kew Pee Arr
      • 12 Years

      No brainer

  18. cravencottage
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    11 years, 4 months ago

    Gerrard too old and slow to play in this side

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

      Has looked very rusty today

    2. DIegoCosta19
      • 11 Years
      11 years, 4 months ago

      Lallana Hendo Couutinho
      Sterling

      this would be a better diamond 442

      1. cravencottage
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        11 years, 4 months ago

        agree

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

        No it would be too attacking, Henderson loves to get forward, there's no one there to permanently protect the back four

    3. 4vets
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 4 months ago

      Was going to say the same thing.

    4. Lawrø
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 4 months ago

      He is having a bit of a shocker

    5. Sánchez
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 4 months ago

      Been that way for some time.
      Just goes unnoticed for some

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

        This. Untouchable in the English media.

    6. BruLee
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 4 months ago

      He's slightly injured apparently

    7. Mr Wizard
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 4 months ago

      Just having a. Off 45mins. You can't have a side with just pure pace. You need a touch of class and that's what Gerrard brings.

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

    Balo showing off that world class conversion rate so far.

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

      Jealous United fan shocker

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

        *tumbleweed*

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

          Di Maria £60m looool

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

            Better than any player in your side bar Ramsey.

            But laugh away.

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

              Hahha

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

      But getting opportunities.

    3. Malcolm Tucker for England …
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 4 months ago

      United's is what again?

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

        We don't make opportunities.

        1. Malcolm Tucker for England …
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 14 Years
          11 years, 4 months ago

          With Mata, Rooney, di Maria, Valencia, rvp? Wow

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

            It was a joke. But Mata and Valencia don't deserve to be mentioned with those other three.

  20. SpinyNorman [*_*]
    • 13 Years
    11 years, 4 months ago

    Anyone else considering dropping Rooney? I know the fixtures look OK, but I have no faith in his ability to score points in LVG's Manure side.

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

      Dropping Mata, keeping Rooney.

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

      Yeah I'm considering it.

    3. The Bandit
      • 15 Years

      74K have already done it

      1. SpinyNorman [*_*]
        • 13 Years
        11 years, 4 months ago

        I've Balo remains unscathed, I've got the exact funds to do Rooney > Balo & JWP > Chadli

    4. derOttmar
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 4 months ago

      Think about shipping him out, not sure about the combination upfront (keeping Naismith as 3rd striker)
      Diego Costa + Aguero
      or maybe going for Balotelli...

  21. Mr Wizard
    • 15 Years
    11 years, 4 months ago

    Lovren is having a good game. Sahko is all over the place

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

      as per usual with both

    2. Somalion
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 4 months ago

      Count 3 or 4 occasions he's been caught out and had to make up for it.

      Sakho very poor.

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

      Who missed the header to let chadli in? Yes your man Lovren

      1. Mr Wizard
        • 15 Years
        11 years, 4 months ago

        It was his man and if Sahko was reading the game properly it would have never developed into a chance

  22. La Roja
    • 13 Years

    Huttoninho on for a bap

  25. Geordienufc1
    • 12 Years
    11 years, 4 months ago

    That was a thoroughly disappointing first half as an adebayor owner 😐

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

      I swapped Costa for him. Gutted.

      1. Geordienufc1
        • 12 Years
        11 years, 4 months ago

        Same.

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

        Same.
        Next 45min tough.

    2. 7shadesofsmoke
      • 12 Years

      but, if you now imagine yourself as a Villa fan 😀

  26. Count of Monte Hristo

    Gerrard is dreadful today

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

      next game v villa. he always scores/assists v them

    2. Billy Gilmore
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 4 months ago

      Has been for a while. Complete liability for us these days.

      Lvg, sign him up for 20 odd million, quick

  28. Pinatta
    • 14 Years

  29. TorresMagic™
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    • 16 Years
    11 years, 4 months ago

    Sterling should play twice for England in the break?

    1. Geordienufc1
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 4 months ago

      Only thing putting me off the mata -> sterling trade straight away.

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

      I hope not!

  30. reece
    • 13 Years

    Lamela seems to be the only spurs player doing anything. Eriksen seems incapable of spotting a pass....
