As Tottenham gear up for an eye-catching run of fixtures, many Fantasy managers are lining up a route into Andre Villas-Boas’ attacking options. With Roberto Soldado failing to justify a place in our three-man frontlines, attentions have turned to midfield and, despite the re-emergence of Gylfi Sigurdsson in the last few weeks, doubts over his long-term starting role has seen our attentions focus on a couple of the club’s summer signings.

Paulinho and Christian Eriksen have both been subject to much debate on the site this week, with investment rising across the Fantasy games. In this next article for members, we cast an eye over their respective displays for the north London club and also analyse the Brazilian’s performances with and without the former Ajax man, in order to ascertain just what effect – if any – Eriksen has had on his fellow new boy.

Paul Is certain he won't make the same mistakes next season. Follow them on Twitter

    I'm imagining everyone's team looks roughly the same by now.

    Migs (Boruc)
    Enrique_Dawson_Jenkinson (Zaba, Fonte)
    Toure_Eriksen_Ramsey_Barfa (Barkley)

    Reds wait on Rooney update
    Manchester United manager David Moyes was unable to provide an update on Wayne Rooney's fitness ahead of the trip to Sunderland.

    The club's Player of the Month for September sat out the 1-1 draw with Shakhtar Donetsk with a shin injury sustained in training. Although the manager said in Ukraine that the problem was not serious, he was unable to reveal if Rooney will feature at the Stadium of Light.

    "I've not seen Wayne this morning so I couldn't give you an update yet," stated Moyes at Friday's press conference.

    "It's an important game we want to win. We'll pick a team that we think can get a result.

      I'm leaning to this being quite foolish of him... As good as Zidane was, anyone smoking is wrong and Wilshere's post proves nothing.. No amount of pictures you post of successful people smoking makes it right.

      He is a sportsman and a role model and he should set the proper example to the millions of kids that watch him every week.

        Most managers will normaly watch the Morning session. However Moyes is an idiot and doesn things differently.

        Longer he waits on seeing players i guess the more feedback he'll get from his staff about if there are fit?

    Are people holding onto Brady and hoping his price doesn't drop too much?

      It will drop quite a bit over 2 weeks I would think. Most of his owners are "active".

    If Rooney doesn't play it makes Kagawa a decent 1 week punt

          Moyes seems to reluctant to trust Kagawa he's more likely to play Valencia, Carrick, Fellaini, Cleverly and Young in a 5 behind RVP.

            Kagawa hasn't been playing because Rooney is in fine form, Moyes has tried to play him on the wing but he's not suited to it. IF rooney is out Moyes will play Kagawa in the hole behind RVP

      I am fast developing a quiet, resigned cynicism about how this season's going for me in FPL, so I wouldn't be at all surprised if he doesn't play and RVP scores 3.
