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.

    Thoughts on the average?

    Is 75 any good? Didn't captain Suarez annoyingly.

      I think late 50s. Remember there are two thirds without Suarez. Plus not all owners would have captained him. Arrow will depend on where you are rank wise.

      If Aguero is only going to miss 1 or 2 matches I will definitely keep him. Injuries are sure to bite this time of year and other less crucial players are very likely to need replacing

Suarez's form in the last 3 weeks where he has averaged over 20pts in the last 3 gws is surely unique? Can't remember Ronaldo, rvp, rvn, Henry or Fowler ever hitting such form over 3gws

            I know Coutinh takes a lot of shots but, unlike Paulinho that's not why I got him. If any player plays alongside Kun or Suarez they will surely get a few assists along the way...Silva, Nasri, Gerrard, Sterling, Studge...They don't even need to do that much most of the time...just get the ball to them.

      pray Giggs doesn't start next game. I reckon Rooney was played deep to compensate for Giggs' lack of legs.

        that's a possible actually, no jones in midfield for once would have added to the lack of legs too

          Yup. Vidic back in defence would allow Cleverley and Jones/Fletcher in CM, and Rooney back up top. That's what I hope.

      I've just swooped for Rooney. Today's playing position is a concern but he's always going to get chances in a game.

    Nearly 15k people have bought Suarez today so at least that many active players never even owned him 🙂

    So. 2 FT's.

    Kasami and Kun -> Walcott and Negredo

    Was thinking Lukaku but minileague leader has him. What do you guys think?
