The Gameweek continues with a pair of Sunday afternoon encounters, beginning with Tottenham’s trip to South Wales as they take on Swansea, before Chelsea and United see us into the Sunday roast with a would-be classic at the Bridge.

Fantasy managers are likely to have plenty invested in today’s matches, with recent differentials Christian Eriksen and Emmanuel Adeabayor on show at the Liberty, while Eden Hazard and Oscar will carry the hopes for many in the 4pm kick-off.

The team news from Swansea finds the home side make just one change: Chico returns to the starting XI and takes his place alongside Ashley Williams, allowing Jordi Amat to shift to midfield to cover for the injured Jose Canas. Tim Sherwood also makes just one change to the Spurs starting lineup that saw off Palace last time out. Roberto Soldado’s season continues to go from bad to worse as he’s dropped to the bench. It’s a 4-5-1 from the visitors, then, as Nacer Chadli is drafted in with Christian Eriksen perhaps set to be pushed up behind Emmanuel Adebayor.

As usual, our Dugout Discussion chatroom is open to capture the real-time rise and fall in fortunes as today’s matches unfold.

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

      I'd say so, at the moment at least. Ramsey return could change that.

      Spurs have 11 goals in their last 5 games and Arsenal have scored 10. So yeah if based on value alone Adebayor the better pick given we can expect similar returns.

    To start with it was a crazy amount of shots but few goals, now it's not many shots but they look more threatening

    Ade doing his best to convince me to keep him in my post-wildcard team. Eriksen making a pretty strong case to come into it. Don't really want both though and there are a number of cheap-to-mid-priced midfielders so I guess Eriksen may be the one to miss out.

    This has been the most well rounded team performance I've ever experienced from a FPL side of mine.

    Nobody has stolen the show, but everyone has contributed - feels strange, with only Hazard and Coleman left to play.
