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

    Coutinho didn't play! Costa is on my bench.

    It. Is. On.

      The facts that you have Coutinho and benched Costa say too much...

      1. Cluckfuster
        • 14 Years

        Does it. What does it say exactly?

      Good one . You held Costa so just deserts

      BREAKING: AC Milan has signed Marco van Ginkel on loan. The player will arrive to Milan in the next hours.

        Makes sense. Could do with some easy pace football at Serie A. Mingling around with the Bison should help too.

        1. HUMZAH96
            11 years, 4 months ago

            Amazing move imo, couldn't see a better move, can settle well with Torres

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

              They'll maybe buy a cottage and have a couple of nippers

      2. FPL Touches

        For 0.6m more I think I would definitely prefer to have ADM over Mata...

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

          Don't know why you'd want either at this point in time.

        2. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
          • 15 Years

          is triggerlips getting him?

          1. FPL Touches
            • 14 Years
            11 years, 4 months ago

            ...No?

            1. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
              • 15 Years
              11 years, 4 months ago

              😆 I thought you were copying triggerlips?

              You mentioned it before?

        3. SG8
          • 13 Years
          11 years, 4 months ago

          Don't think any United midfielder is worth paying more than 8.5 on current form given the options elsewhere.

        4. Marstar
          • 13 Years
          11 years, 4 months ago

          I wouldn't. That's 0.6m more reasons to fail 😛

          If Man U are going to produce fantasy points then it'll start with Mata.

          1. FPL Touches
            • 14 Years
            11 years, 4 months ago

            Don't agree with this view, sorry 😛

            Mata was absent and ADM was our best player by far, played incisive passes and looked the most threatening

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

        all my players have played im on 68 points is this good average or bad

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

          Unless Ramsey scores a hat-trick it's excellent.

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

          Absolutely dreadful, you might as well quit now. 😉 Depends on your position, but you should get a greenie.

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

          very good

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

          Link you name to your team. I'll just assume you are a first time player, yes very good, check the average scores on the points page for the week if you want to be top 10,000-30,000 add about 15-20 points to the average which you must do every week.

      4. Reckoner

        11 years, 4 months ago

        How'd you like these apples?

        Dzeko to Pelle
        Eriksen to Fabregas

        for free.

        Won't be doing anything until after the international games.

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

          Love it

          How sensible. You won't fit in here at all.

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

          Doing the same also for free but with Sterling instead of Fabregas (already have him).

        Who to shift out first??

        Eriksen or shrek?

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

          Personally, and related to my post directly above, holding Roonpig for a Roonpig/Aguero swap down the line.

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

            When Rooney is 10.3 and kun is 12.3??

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

              It's a risk, but fixtures make it so hard to do earlier.

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

          Eriksen

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

        Fabregas or Hazard?

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

          Hazard imo

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

          have neither and still trying to make the same decision

      7. XhakaCan
        • 11 Years
        11 years, 4 months ago

        How was Adebayor today?

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

          Pretty bad

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

            Don't agree. Very isolated, was a product of the entire Spurs team. Also could have had a pen at the end for the shirt pull in the box.

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

              Agree. Was their best player. Lamela Chadli and eriksen were worse

        2. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
          • 15 Years
          11 years, 4 months ago

          shite

        3. SG8
          • 13 Years
          11 years, 4 months ago

          very ineffective

        4. Tim Canterbury
          • 14 Years
          11 years, 4 months ago

          A class above but just wasn't getting the service

        5. Reckoner
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 14 Years
          11 years, 4 months ago

          Pochettino has got him pressing, so that's something new.

          Easily main goal threat for Spurs. I wouldn't be that unhappy to own him.

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

            I have him in my wildcard team, do you think he worth keeping in?

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

              For a WC, I think there are marginally better options. Just looking at Spurs cover, he looks the best choice.

      8. Sting
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        11 years, 4 months ago

        Any chance of making 0.2 on my WC?

        Any double risers out there?

      9. Moody1000

        11 years, 4 months ago

        sry fot repost but ivanovic or coleman or baines everton has two palace and west brom while chelsea has swansea and city

        1. Podge
          • 14 Years

          Coleman

      10. Farcelona
        • 11 Years
        11 years, 4 months ago

        Mata to Fabregas, Sterling or someone else?

        Already have Ramsey, Lamela, Sigurdsson.

        £1.4m in the bank.

      11. Twelve years a slave
        • 15 Years
        11 years, 4 months ago

        Free transfer made

        Bony to Costa

        Will Bony score a brace at Chelsea? Both my previous transfers out this season have scored a brace in next game

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

          hasnt affected you in any way. stop complaining

        2. BantamPhil
          • 12 Years

          *Brings in Bony for Dzeko

        3. Not Irish
          • 12 Years

          Not WCing then?

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

        8.8 mid to bring in? Thinking either Mirallas or Tadic as not seeing too many options

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

          You don't seem to have Sterling?

      13. Sweetpea
        • 13 Years
        11 years, 4 months ago

        Ok, need some input, thinking the following for a hit tonight:

        Dzeko, Eriksern and Debuchy > Costa, sterling and van Aanholt.

      14. BantamPhil
        • 12 Years
        11 years, 4 months ago

        Dier bandwagon derailed 😎

          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 14 Years

          was also lucky not to get booked

        2. SpicyItalian22
          • 11 Years

          But there goes the Moreno bandwagon....

      15. Les Bleus
        • 14 Years
        11 years, 4 months ago

        Adebayor -6 BPS yet he score the most points of his teammates.

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

        Jamie Redknapp hates Arsenal

      17. Reed_Rothchild
        • 16 Years
        11 years, 4 months ago

        I like the transfers Liverpool has brought in. They have the depth to compete in the league and the Champions League.

        1. SG8
          • 13 Years
          11 years, 4 months ago

          Today was proof that we haven't "done a Spurs".

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

          I'm not sure on Balotelli, it's been a poor market for strikers this year, I would say Bony would have been a better option but even then someone with a bit more pace would be better.

      18. Keno
        • 11 Years
        11 years, 4 months ago

        Is there a place that has the BPS scores up yet including today s game?

        1. Podge

      19. Whazza
        • 13 Years

        Ivan and Sterling rising in price tonight?

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

        Can't wait for Walcott to come back.

      21. SG8
        • 13 Years
        11 years, 4 months ago

        A goal from Ramsey as my captain would make such a difference to this GW for me

        1. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
          • 15 Years
          11 years, 4 months ago

          you have told us this many times

          1. SG8
            • 13 Years
            11 years, 4 months ago

            it's the first time I've mentioned it mate

        2. Courtois in the Rye
          • 12 Years
          11 years, 4 months ago

          Wouldn't a goal from your captain make such a difference in any GW?

      22. Tim Canterbury
        • 14 Years
        11 years, 4 months ago

        lol @ the scout picks

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

          3rd week running

      23. SpicyItalian22
        • 11 Years
        11 years, 4 months ago

        Balotelli missed a couple of sitters today and it doesn't look like he'll be taking the penalties over Stevie G....very relieved I didn't pick him up.

        1. Courtois in the Rye
          • 12 Years
          11 years, 4 months ago

          For £8.0 I'd have been interested, at £10m it's barking.

        2. SG8
          • 13 Years
          11 years, 4 months ago

          despite that he looked decent, composed and eager to do well. Wouldn't bring him in but I'd monitor him.

      24. rozzo
        • 12 Years
        11 years, 4 months ago

        Is Terry, Rooney and Dzeko to Ivanovic, Aguero and Naistmith for -4 a bad idea?

        1. Courtois in the Rye
          • 12 Years
          11 years, 4 months ago

          Yes those are not good transfers.

      26. Scoredelario
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        11 years, 4 months ago

        It is so hard not to kneejerk in these early weeks

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

          It's often the correct thing to do, but people only point out the fails.

      27. BantamPhil
        • 12 Years
        11 years, 4 months ago

        Eriksen 1 point ouch

        Poor Zep 🙁

      28. Reed_Rothchild
        • 16 Years
        11 years, 4 months ago

        If Falcao goes to City, that will devalue Aguero.
