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 β€œessential” 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.

      1. Count of Monte Hristo
        • 12 Years
        11 years, 1 month ago

      Lol? Full season the jokes on you

      1. Count of Monte Hristo
        • 12 Years
        11 years, 1 month ago

    3. GENERATION X
      • 12 Years

      Just warming up for a flat track assault on WBA

  3. Your Mum's Athletic
    • 14 Years
    11 years, 1 month ago

    One more Costa

  4. HP.

    How is that an azpilicueta assist when mignolet parried it and it hit moreno before going to Costa?

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

      See below πŸ™‚

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

    How is that an Azpi assist? It was a cross (not a shot) that was parried out by Migs and the deflected by defender to Costa. πŸ˜•

    1. FPL Daniel
      • 16 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      It was. By the rules it was

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

        Actually, by the rules it clearly wasn't πŸ™„

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

        No it isn't.

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

        Double deflection. Shouldn't be an assist

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

      My thoughts. Did it hit Oscar on the way to Costa?

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

      lol at this post and the one above πŸ˜€

  6. FPL Daniel
    • 16 Years
    11 years, 1 month ago

    Was that Azpi assist? Thinking of downgrading Ivan to Azpi

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

      Was deflected twice by Mig and Moreno. But FPL have given it.

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

      I said at the start that Azpi was on my radar. Top player. Will be bringing him in soon, possibly this week,

      1. Pigvig
        • 16 Years
        11 years, 1 month ago

        Had him last year and he was great. Chelsea not keeping enough clean sheets though

  7. Piggs Boson
    • 14 Years
    11 years, 1 month ago

    10 goals in 9 Premier League games.

  8. binyamin44
    • 11 Years
    11 years, 1 month ago

    Azpi will got the assist points ?

  9. Sz21
    • 14 Years
    11 years, 1 month ago

    Cahill and Costa..
    Hands up if you own both!!

    Incredibly lucky it must be said..

    No Hazard or Fabs too for good measure.

  10. Willis.

    11 years, 1 month ago

    Liverpool are full of Chelsea rejects. Rodgers, Johnson, Sturridge, Borini, Gerrard, etc

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

      Gerrard a reject because Mourinho doesn't want him at 34? seems harsh

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

      Rodgers?

    3. Cilly Bonnolly
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      How is Gerrard a Chelsea reject?

  11. OPTA FPL
    • 14 Years
    11 years, 1 month ago

    LOL @ Hazard owners

    1. A Defender's Nightmare
      • 13 Years

    2. Piggs Boson
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

        • 14 Years

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

      I will have a furious fap if Costa gets 3 baps

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

      Winning goal?

  13. Punty
    • 12 Years
    11 years, 1 month ago

    Why did Johnson start this game, walking around in the centre waving his hand pleading for offside while Coutinho has to defend as left back.. surely Johnson has some dirty pictures of Rodgers that he uses to blackmail him...unbelievable

  14. AlCapwnUK
    • 11 Years
    11 years, 1 month ago

    Second goal to make us Costa keepers look smart, as is maybe just breaking even?

  15. Bøwstring The Carp
    • 14 Years
    11 years, 1 month ago

    Costa looking to steal 3 bps from Can now

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

      Always knew he was a criminal.

    2. Nabs Kebabs
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      winning goal so he actually has more as it stands

  16. CTID_

  19. Bøwstring The Carp
    • 14 Years
    11 years, 1 month ago

    A Hazard goal would be the icing on the cake πŸ˜›

  20. Parm
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    11 years, 1 month ago

    I think that goal was the first i've seen Azpilicueta actually beat his man...

  21. SW6
    • 13 Years
    11 years, 1 month ago

    Sorry, was cooking lunch.

    COSTAAAAA πŸ˜€

  22. CTID_
    • 11 Years
    11 years, 1 month ago

    Never got rid of Costa just a waste of a transfer

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

      This 100%

  23. The Machine
    • 12 Years
    11 years, 1 month ago

    Remember Clyne getting an assist earlier this season for the exact same thing. If anything the deflection was even more obvious

    Didn't see anyone complaining back then

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

      That was one deflection, not two, but I get your point.

    2. Nabs Kebabs
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      actually quite a lot of people were complaining.

      1. The Machine
        • 12 Years
        11 years, 1 month ago

        Yes about getting the assist before it was added

      2. vanishing spray
        • 11 Years
        11 years, 1 month ago

        When aren't people complaining? Maybe if it's a goal straight from kick-off...

  24. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
    • 15 Years
    11 years, 1 month ago

    Lol at people switching between costa and aguero every week

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

      best to have both

    2. Make United Great Again
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      Surely it's best to have both?

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