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

          A Kane blank feels better than a RVP blank (FPL wise)

    2. Venom Snake

    1. sminkypinky

      True.

    2. @ocprodigy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      It's not the end of the world tbf. Chelsea will beat Southampton, hopefully West Ham & Arsenal draw. That way we still gain a point.

  16. Jax
    • 16 Years

    where are rooney and rvp captainers then?

  17. Sánchez
    • 13 Years
    11 years, 3 months ago

    So hope Downing doesnt score now.
    Knew I should have benched Eriksen.

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

      You can't bench Eriksen at home can you?

  18. sminkypinky
    • 14 Years
    11 years, 3 months ago

    Figures. Got rid of Lloris for Hart. Now watch City concede.

    1. matpower_
      • 11 Years

    1. Epic Fail
      • 15 Years

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

  24. Evs
    • Has Moderation Rights
    • 16 Years
    11 years, 3 months ago

    Well... Considering both teams can't defend a nil nil was well unexpected.

  25. drughi
    • 16 Years
    11 years, 3 months ago

  26. Journeyguy
    • 12 Years
    11 years, 3 months ago
