With Aaron Ramsey’s latest points haul still resonating within the Fantasy Football community, we now look forward to Sunday’s quartet of matches which promise to round the Gameweek off with a bang.

Proceedings begin early, with the midday kick-off at the Lane finding a Spurs side desperate to recover from their Etihad mauling against champions United. With Andre Villas-Boas on the tightrope and Wayne Rooney in red-hot form, the day looks set to get off to an intriguing start.

That’s followed by Liverpool’s visit to the KC Stadium, as Luis Suarez looks to claim his latest set of points against a Hull defence that has allowed just two goals in front of their own fans. A pair of late afternoon kick-offs come next, with Chelsea taking on Southampton at the Bridge, while City’s steamrolling home form is set to go through the gears again as Swansea draw up in Manchester.

With Rooney, Suarez and Sergio Aguero on show and sporting the armband for so many Fantasy managers, today’s events are set to cause a major swing in the ranks and mini-leagues.

The early team news from North London finds Rooney safely snuggled in the United attack although, once again, Robin van Persie is absent. The Dutchman doesn’t even make the matchday squad as his Fanatasy stock continues to diminish at pace. David Moyes is able to welcome back Nemanja Vidic, however, and he takes his place in a back four alongside Jonny Evans, with Chris Smalling at right-back. Phil Jones occupies a midfield role once more, while Shinji Kagawa earns only his third league start of the season.

Villas-Boas shuffles again, making an array of changes from the side that was humiliated at City. Nacer Chadli earns a recall on the flank, whle Mousa Dembele is also back in the lineup in the middle of the park: Lewis Holtby and Erik Lamela make way. Meanwhile, at the back, Vlad Chiriches replaces Younes Kaboul who drops to the bench.

Our Dugout Discussion chatroom is open and available throughout all today’s matches, right up until the final whistles at Stamford Bridge and the Etihad.

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

    At what point does your club allegiance come into FPL?

    I have Suarez and Coutinho in my team but I'd prefer Liverpool to lose 2-0 every week.

    FPL points always a distant thought compared to how my own club is getting on or how their rivals fare.
