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.

    Reposted from last page to cheer people up.

    The main figure that matters is what % of people captained Suarez. I seem to remember Smarty pants reported 56% of captains in the top 10k had already played last night. So Suarez should be captained by some way below 44% of high flying players, especially when you take off Rooney captainers. Who knows exactly how much he will be, maybe around 30%?

    It's not nearly as high as when he slaughtered West Ham, is my point.

      Good point. As some have mentioned already, it's essentially *just* a 17 point loss (assuming one of the main contenders was captained). Which isn't nice, but not disastrous.

    How well you do at the end of the season comes down to experience, a lot of luck, and choices you make on days like this when there are 4-5 captaincy options. From a Suarez non-captainer with Flanagan stuck as second sub. Little wonder I'm just within 1m in rank. 🙁

              You probably bought him at 11.6 so you won't lose any money on him until he drops below 12.4 - at that point his value to you drops to 11.9 from 12
