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

        Dead teams are the most dangerous!

  12. BabyB
    • 12 Years

  13. Jafooli
    • 14 Years
    11 years, 3 months ago

    Falcao misses a sitter 😮

  14. Owd Big 'Ed
    • 16 Years

    Hey Blue Lion 😉

    1. Jafooli
      • 14 Years

      Maybe....

  17. Wings Fan
    • 12 Years
    11 years, 3 months ago

    Falcao just looks off balance any time he's on/near the ball. I'm just waiting for him to fall over each time, and sure enough he delivers

    1. Nico.
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      Ala a certain Fernando we had

  18. Owd Big 'Ed
    • 16 Years
    11 years, 3 months ago

    Kane is such a threat regardless of fixture. Disappointed I went for Benteke.

    1. Dr Dream
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      Yeah he is...great FPL pick.

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

        5m for a top 6 team bargin of the century in FPL terms

  21. Debauchy

    Townsend on target

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

    Chelsea Warrior: Spurs playing such a high-line and allowing Mata time on the ball is similar to playing Russian roulette.

    Best comment you'll see on BBC today.

    1. Zod
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years

      They're all terrible comments from morons.

  23. Jafooli
    • 14 Years
    11 years, 3 months ago

    Breaking: Townsend takes it on himself and shoots, shocker!

    1. Mílanista
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      And gets it on target! 😯

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

        😛

  24. Kazza_
    • 14 Years
    11 years, 3 months ago

    is KANE on pens as well??

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

      Surely Eriksen?

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

        really did he take them at ajax?

      2. Chenku╰☆╮
        • 11 Years
        11 years, 3 months ago

        Eriksen is very poor against the big teams..

      3. Gimli son of Gloin
        • 13 Years
        11 years, 3 months ago

        Not surely at all.
        I'd lean towards Kane, but we have no clue.

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

          Well, quite, that's why I put a question mark. But I just assumed it was him, but having put 30 seconds thought into it, there's no good reason why it should be him. I have Kane anyway, so hope it's him.

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

      Apparently Townsend took one in Europa when they were both on the pitch.

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

        that wud suck

        hope he gets subbed soon then

  25. Scoredelario
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 15 Years

    I would be happy to see one of my players out of the squad. Never comfortable with Sig first on the bench

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

      Me too. Flashbacks of GW1.

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

      Same here, although I benched Bony and played Siggy......but yeah a no show would not be a problem for me....

    3. A Defender's Nightmare
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      Comfortable with his 2 Points?

  26. TheCurseOfRaheem

  28. Owd Big 'Ed
    • 16 Years
    11 years, 3 months ago

    Is Mata becoming a reasonable consideration?
