Sunday brings the Gameweek to a close with a trio of matches featuring an array of Fantasy talent. Things get rolling with a pair of lunchtime kick-offs, as Villa host United and Swansea make the trip to Carrow Road to face Chris Hughton’s Norwich. That’s followed by the headline act, as Andre Villas-Boas looks to continue the Spurs revival against a Liverpool unit weakened by a string of injuries.

While the press will be focused on David Moyes, Fantasy managers will be more interested in Wayne Rooney’s performance. With a potential absence for Sergio Aguero looming, the United striker could make himself “essential” over the Christmas period if he can produce in the midlands. With Michu expected to earn a run-out at Norwich, we’ll have the opportunity to assess whether he can join both David Silva and Theo Walcott on our midfield Christmas list, while at 4pm, all eyes will be on Luis Suarez as he looks to overcome the absence of skipper Steven Gerrard and strike partner Daniel Sturridge against the Spurs back four.

Look to our Twitter feed for the latest teamsheet bulletins, while our Dugout Discussion chatroom is now open and will remain available throughout today’s three fixtures.

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

          not "stole" the fpl site goes by pl stats at the time

          if they are wrong or changed then thats not really fpl's fault.

          If they were to reallocate they would have to update all leagues and harder still it could affect bonus points this one would have likely not made a big difference but it could have meant someone who got 1bp got 0 or 2 etc.

          Its easier the rule is simple.

    If Suárez gets 10pts this FPL season will turn extremely one dimensional.

    Basically it will be down to Walcott or Özil, and Yaya or Silva.

    Why spus go for AVB over Felipao ? its beyond me.
    when last yr Big Phil aka Felipao of Brasil was available and gave hints he wanted to come back to england to set the record straight for his short lived experience while at Chelsea.

    Big Phil, won it all, world cup w/ a limited team (only had 2 playrs in rivaldo and brot an injured Ronaldo against the mainstream), brasilian tournament w feisty team Gremio, another with talented team in palmeiras, took Portugal deep into Euro when they had not done so b4 for a long time, etc a coach from a country with huge football history w/ proven track record from that country (in this case brasil who has won 5 world cups) sometimes does make a differecne in the coach's football upbringing. a coach who has played in that country as a player, and follows thru with being a coach does hav some form of comparative advantge, in this case Big Phi did it all.

    and still people in England criticized him;i find it pathetic. big phil every team he has tocuhed he makes it a winner.
    just this summer he picked up brasil from couple months of work, brasil no faith,... he piked it up and beat EASY spain,uruguay.italy. and it was easy.

    till silva and wally's performances yesterday, i had penciled to do coutinho >> paulinho in gw18
    - coutinho has two tough games in gw18 and 19
    - paulinho has 3 home games in 18/19/21 with united sandwiched in between
    - even when he plays CM, his stats are amazing, just needs some finishin lessons
    - finally (and most importantly), i expect him to play every game during the festive season
