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

    Well done Leicester 🙂

      Thank you Lucy - at least someone appreciates a good battling draw.

        Hey Old Man - No Way you going back down - got a very " together " side

          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 14 Years

          Thanks Debauchy - I sincerely hope that you're right. I think that we might have just enough firepower to survive.

      2. Lucy.
        • 12 Years

        That's what you need to do when you want to survive. It's not pretty but that doesn't matter.

    CHAMBERS off my bench from 3rd spot 😆

    1. Djerbil

      for Dummett

  8. Red Devil Swede
    • 13 Years
    11 years, 4 months ago

    Everyone remember it's now internationals and it's clever to keep your FT's as anything can happen - players get injured, players move etc.

    This also was a good time to WC in earlier FPL seasons, this time around price changes are a lot slower so you want to think a bit about that.

    Good luck!

    1. Bøwstring The Carp
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 4 months ago

      Just did Mata ---> Sterling with a FT left over in case and 0.7 ITB

    2. FC Tinker
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 4 months ago

      Good points. Tempted to do one or two transfers to avoid a 0.1 drop but it's probably better just to wait the two weeks.

      1. Red Devil Swede
        • 13 Years
        11 years, 4 months ago

        If it's a drop for one of your players and the one you want to bring in is about to rise then it's about 0.2 so could be clever spending a FT then!

  9. Bøwstring The Carp

    Lovren CS and Sterling/ Sanchez goal is gonna kill my rank 🙁

    1. Red Devil Swede
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 4 months ago

      Lovren + Sterling yes, Sanchez not as much.

  10. CellinoArmy
    • 12 Years
    11 years, 4 months ago

    LOL @ Ramsey Cappers 😀

    p.s. I captained Rooney, so yeah unless we captained costa, we did terrible together.

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

      So why you lol'ing? Lol

      1. chuckberry04
        • 13 Years
        11 years, 4 months ago

        He was just joking. But to be honest, Ramsey captainers were being arrogant as hell, so it would only be fair.

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

    Wait so Chambers gets clean sheet points? wtf

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

      yeah, strange rules, but yeah he didn't concede when he was on.

      1. Red Devil Swede
        • 13 Years
        11 years, 4 months ago

        Nothing strange. 60 mins or more without conceding = CS = points. Rules says so and it applies to all 🙂

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

          I agree, i just thought it was wierd it worked like that, but i guess it's fair enough, why should someone who played 60 and didn't concede get penalised.

  12. pundit of punts
    • 12 Years

    Score check.

      Would freeking love it if they bought Zigic.

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

        Still possible with Wenger in command lol

        1. Mr_Partridge

      the zigic rumours are bullsh!t and made up by clowns. You are so gullable 😆

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

        These rumors are funny indeed, are these journalists against Arsenal? Seriously, I could see Cerci coming

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

      Imagine if Zigic went on to score 20 goals though!

  16. JWF
    • 16 Years

    Crap week. Red arrow ahoy.

  17. FantasTic
    • 11 Years
    11 years, 4 months ago

    Mata or Ramsey out for Mirallas?

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

      None of the above

    2. Red Devil Swede
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 4 months ago

      Mata but he's home to QPR in another must win game for United.

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

        Burnley was a must win too :/

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

    Leicester the new Stoke?

    They even have a full back called Delap

  19. Royal5
    • 14 Years
    11 years, 4 months ago

    Eriksen, Adebayor and Ramsey combine for 5 ponits. Awful day.

  20. Wej

        Much appreciated!

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

    Think that Leicester performance gives me a chance to give Moore (stk) a run out over Chester (WHU)

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

      You must have a good defence for next week then benching Chester

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

        Cahill (SWA), Clyne (NEW), Moore (stk), Chester (WHU), PVA (TOT)

        Two of the mids play at Stamford and Etihad

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

    Wow the top 4 captains this GW as voted on by this site (Rooney, Jovetic, Ramsey, Aguero) all had atrocious games

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

      Siggy against a poor WBA defense was obvious, still i din't have the balls to do it

      1. Red Devil Swede
        • 13 Years
        11 years, 4 months ago

        Siggy never really was an option for me, crap call and I was punished for it. Learnt of my own mistake.

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

        I can relate with Siggy. And if only I knew Costa was playing I wouldn't have sold him for Jovetic and then I'd have 58 points instead of 38. 🙁

    2. Granville
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 16 Years
      11 years, 4 months ago

      I captained Siggy. It looked like I was going to have a storming week but alas it didn't happen.

  23. In Like Flynn.

    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years

    Painful gameweek, did Costa > Jovetic and DDG > Krul.
    Newcastle concede in the 1st minute and Costa scores in the 1st minute to ram it home 🙁
