With an international break looming, we need to cherish this weekend’s action. Fortunately, on paper, the Gameweek looks to have plenty to offer us – beginning at Anfield for Liverpool’s clash with Chelsea.

Jose Mourinho’s side draw up on Merseyside sitting on the Premier League summit to find a faltering Liverpool outfit struggling for a foothold.

Brendan Rodgers men have just two wins in their last seven – a run that has prompted Fantasy managers to turn their backs on the men in red: even Raheem Sterling’s star has faded badly in recent weeks.

Sterling will have the opportunity to show his worth, going up against Chelsea’s cast of midfield heavyweights – Eden Hazard, Cesc Fabregas and Oscar. Meanwhile, up front, Fantasy managers will be monitoring Diego Costa’s sharpness. Once an “essential” asset, Costa’s recent injury woes have seen enthusiasm dampened – goals today would quickly reverse that.

The early kick-off is followed by a quartet of matches, before Chelsea’s title rivals, City, pay visit to Loftus Road.

Stick around to discuss the day’s action as it unfolds and keep one eye on our Twitter feed for all the lineup news.

Mark Mark created the beast. He's now looking to tame it.

    Enjoying not having any Pool players in my squad after having 2 for the majority of last season.

    Fabregas my only interest in this game with Azpi on my radar.

    1. The Bandit
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      55% Costa ownership could wreck your gw before it starts 😉

        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        11 years, 1 month ago

        yean he could ruin my last few weeks in one match

      2. Ady87
        • 12 Years
        11 years, 1 month ago

        True, but I think I've got enough in the tank to green arrow. 😀

    2. gedda
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      I've held on to Costa. Time to get back on the horse for that boy.

  5. Ibralicious

    Made the biggest rookie error in all of my time on FPL. Was so enthusiastic about beating the price rise on Chambers that I used my FT on him without even checking who he's versing, so now I've to start him VS United next GW unless I do a -4... 🙁

    1. Leaf
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      You used next weeks transfer already ?!

      1. Ibralicious
        • 11 Years
        11 years, 1 month ago

        Yes, my efforts to beat the price rise have got me to this embarrassing situation! 😡

    That was a truly moving rendition of You'll Never Choke Alone

  12. 1966 was a great year for E…
    • 15 Years
    11 years, 1 month ago

    Who scores more:

    Sanchez + Chambers
    Tadic + Baines (+4)

    ?

    1. Lawrø
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      Tadic and Baines

      1. 1966 was a great year for E…
        • 15 Years
        11 years, 1 month ago

        Probably right, I'd still rather have the 1st 2 longer term, though.

  13. Lawrø
    • 13 Years
    11 years, 1 month ago

    I feel this gameweek will further split the men from the boys, captain choice is huge!

    1. Bubz
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      Who did you captain?

      1. Lawrø
        • 13 Years
        11 years, 1 month ago

        Aguero, and yourself?

    2. The Bandit
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      *The lucky from the unlucky really

      1. 1966 was a great year for E…
        • 15 Years

        The luck evens itself out.

    3. Leaf
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      Aguero all the way

    4. Az

      Isn't it. So many options this week, but all of them could easily fail.

  14. Super Silva

    I always have a wee tear when I see old soldiers on memorial events

  19. Willis.
    • 13 Years

    Costa looks so cute with his gloves

  20. CABAYE4
    • 13 Years
    11 years, 1 month ago

    For Liverpool's sake I hope Rodgers has ditched his flexi-formation that he used against us.

    If he hasn't, then it could be a long 90 mins for him.

  21. sully29

    That weird feeling where you don't want your player to do well because ml rivals have captained him....

  22. Az
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • Has Moderation Rights
    • 16 Years
    11 years, 1 month ago

    Come on sterling. Punish the sellers!

  23. RoysCallerAnne
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 15 Years
    11 years, 1 month ago

    Why do they always mention the Luis Garcia "ghost" goal.

    It should've been a penalty and red card for Cech's foul on Baros anyway 🙄

    1. Damo.
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      I never understand this either. It never gets mentioned! They got off lightly

  24. A.T
    • 15 Years
    11 years, 1 month ago

    Who do you want to win? Lol

    1. mookie
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      the underdog

    2. Ady87
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      1-1 Fabregas goal unassisted and 3BPS, Terry OG up the other end.

    3. Az
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 16 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      Draw would be great! 1-1 (sterling, Costa)

    4. PGR
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      Triple Chelsea attack here. Hoping they hammer Pool

      1. A.T
        • 15 Years
        11 years, 1 month ago

        Good point.

  25. The Bandit
    • 15 Years
    11 years, 1 month ago

    Coutinho shot on target 😆

    1. Billy Gilmore
      • 13 Years

      🙂

  26. Billy Gilmore
    • 13 Years
    11 years, 1 month ago

    Coutinho shot on target 😯

  27. isacki: full casual
    • 14 Years
    11 years, 1 month ago

    "The disappointment of last season, they're going to use that energy to beat Chelsea"

    How do you know? Are you just filling airtime?

    I could equally say: "The disappointment of last season is going to be prey on their minds, Chelsea will destroy them"

    1. Captain Shirokov
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      He has inside information 😉

  28. Willis.
    • 13 Years
    11 years, 1 month ago

    Just shoot Hazard

  29. Give The Todd Some Love
    • 14 Years
    11 years, 1 month ago

    Is there a better DM in the world than Matic? Mascherano, Alonso?

    1. isacki: full casual
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      I had the same debate with a friend, we concluded the definition of a DM is too vague nowadays to choose one. Alonso and Busquets hover somewhere between DMs and CMs

      1. Give The Todd Some Love
        • 14 Years
        11 years, 1 month ago

        Fair point. Even Matic likes to get forward a bit

      2. Qubit
        • 16 Years
        11 years, 1 month ago

        This. The lines are blurred more than ever between all positions

    2. Willis.
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      Nope

    3. A.T
      • 15 Years
