Our feast of festive football rolls on this afternoon as Fantasy managers are treated to another nine matches. First up, Spurs take on United at White Hart Lane in a noon kick-off as Mauricio Pochettino’s side look to maintain their recent form and register a fourth successive league win.

There’s no question that Christian Eriksen and Harry Kane are the men in form for the home side. Both found the net once again on Friday in a 2-1 triumph at Leicester – the duo have each returned four goals and two assists in the last seven matches and face a defence with a single away clean sheet (at Burnley in Gameweek 3) this season.

United have their own form players, though. Despite being shifted to central midfield, Wayne Rooney has racked up five goals and two assists in his last six appearances, mirroring the output of Robin van Persie. With Juan Mata and Radamel Falcao also in fine fettle, the Red Devils still have plenty of strong options in the final third despite the absence of Angel di Maria, who has failed to recover from a pelvic injury.

Paul Is certain he won't make the same mistakes next season. Follow them on Twitter

    Didn't even realise RvP was on 4 yellows prior to this game. Feel better after selling now.

  5. Jimbo123
    • 16 Years

    Why are people saying RVP suspended?

    He didn't get booked, did he?

    1. MJ6987
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      No, he managed to smooth things over with the ref

    2. Rats Ass
      • 16 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      No. Ref thought about it.

    3. Acquafresca
      • 14 Years

    4. Rats Ass
      • 16 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      He's had a bit of a scrap with Vertonghen all game. One more late tackle either way = YC.

  7. Stats Don\'t Lie

    Of course azpi has to get rested *sigh*. Cresswell coming in

    1. Fantasy Gold
      • 11 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      Cresswell is an excellent sub to come in. Stop moaning

      1. Stats Don\'t Lie
        • 11 Years
        11 years, 3 months ago

        Yes, but Chelsea is almost a guaranteed CS. I really hope they concede now.

    2. Jax
      • 16 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      azpi could come on

  8. Gaffa914
    • 11 Years
    11 years, 3 months ago

    When acon comes who would be a suitable replacement considering I have Sanchez haz silva?

    1. AIRMILES
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      Replacement for Yaya?

      1. darko
        • 14 Years
        11 years, 3 months ago

        Fab if he's affordable

    2. Cilly Bonnolly
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      Replacement for who?

    3. piquiblanco
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      Sterling, Cazorla, but probably lower priced mid and upgrading elsewhere.

  9. Willis.
    • 14 Years
    11 years, 3 months ago

    Hazard v Alderweireld should be interesting.

    1. Lawrø
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      Especially as they both play for Belgium.

      1. Willis.
        • 14 Years
        11 years, 3 months ago

        Yes, that was what I was hinting towards.

      2. Lawrø
        • 14 Years
        11 years, 3 months ago

        Just realised Alderweireld isn't playing full back so this is probably what you meant...

  10. Fantasy Gold
    • 11 Years
    11 years, 3 months ago

    I need Naylor to play tomorrow (Azpi owner)

    Will he play or due a rest?

    1. Stats Don\'t Lie
      • 11 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      Will play.

    2. The Nuttmxn
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      Naylor doesn't need resting, he'll pick up enough Yellows so it's not needed.

  11. Syd.
    • 16 Years
    11 years, 3 months ago

    Spurs to nick a winner in the last minute as per usual

    1. Royal5
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      Fingers crossed.

    2. In Like Flynn.
      • Has Moderation Rights

      That would be a Kaneing.

  12. Richd

      1. SW6
        • 13 Years

  24. HuttonDressedasLahm
    • 16 Years
    11 years, 3 months ago

    Should have done Baines to Terry

    Was sure he was going to be rested ðŸ™

    1. darko
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      Baines aint a bad pick vs Newc though. Everything crossed mind!

    2. Sess!
      • 15 Years

    I convinced a mate that Lloris > Guzan for a hit was a good idea to afford Naismith > Austin.. CS and 2/3 bonus so far for Lloris.. I'm nervous
