Sunday brings Gameweek 10 to a close with the early kick-off at Goodison as Everton host Spurs, while at tea-time, we’re treated to the first Premier League South Wales derby as Cardiff welcome rivals Swansea.

Fantasy managers still totting up their tallies from City’s rout of Norwich will now look to the likes of Leighton Baines and Romelu Lukaku against Spurs, while eyes will be on Michu as he looks to break a drought of four league outings without a goal for the Swans when they face the Bluebirds.

The team news from Goodison Park looks significant from a Fantasy perspective as Roberto Martinez drops Ross Barkley to the bench for the first time this term. The youngster (owned by 35% of FPL teams) makes way for Leon Osman in the central midfield three after the latter climbed off the bench to grab a goal and assist in the previous Gameweek.

Spurs are unchanged from the side that craped past Hull last Sunday. This sees Aaron Lennon keep his place in the XI ahead of Gylfi Sigurdsson, in spite of the latter’s wonder goal in the Capital One Cup – Christian Eriksen and Erik Lamela warm the bench once again, whilst Jan Vertonghen continues at left-back.

Our Dugout Discussion chatroom is now open and available to support you real-time reactions throughout today’s matches.

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

    Hi guys, could i get some advice on my team please? I'm struggling to work out the best direction to go.

    Mignolet
    Shaw Rat Coleman
    Hazard Michu Ozil Morrison
    Benteke(c) RVP Lukaku

    Camp Barkley Pieters Chester

    1 FT, 0.2 in bank.

    No idea what to do about Suarez/Aguero now, think i'll just ignore them. Hazard seems to have jumped to the head of the queue for axing, although he has WBA(h) next. Brady in for Barkley?
