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.

    So many people who can't count 😆

    If you captained one of the 5 pointers instead of Suarez you lost 17pts.

    5 + 44 = 49 (Roo/Aguero/Lukaku + Suarez capt)
    10 + 22 = 32 (Roo/Aguero/Lukaku capt + Suarez)

    49- 37 = 17

      One thing I admire about Rooney nowadays is that wherever he is told to play he does so with professionalism and has added some different attributes to his game.

        Rooney looked a bit deep today, and his work rate and role in the team suggests this won't be the last time we see a deep-drifting Rooney.

      My god Spurs are dreadful. That AVB doesn't seem to have the first clue what his best team is. And what's with Lamela they broke their record spending £30m on him and AVB has barely given him a kick in the league so far.

      The amount of midfield options they have is unreal, seems as though AVB just chucks darts to figure out which ones will start each game.

        AVB has received so much patience because he talks about tactics so much despite failing to implement them.

      Suarez on 22pts. Ouch. Captain means 44pts. If u captained the 5 pt band (Lukaku, Rooney, Hazard etc..) u lose 17pts. I repeat we lost 17 pts !!!

            If we captained the five point brigade instead of Suarez, we lost 34 points. 😕

        Yup. 17 down and the Yaya instead of Kun taking last 2 penalties adds another swing making nearly 40 points for my ML leader who is already almost uncatchable. Depressing.
