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

    Chambers to which defender? Have 5.0m to spend... Already have Naylor. Also have Guzan in goal so don't feel like doubling up with Hutton

  4. Revival
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    11 years, 3 months ago

    Have RVP and Eriksen so could do with some goals in the 2nd half

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

      Eriksen, Rooney and Kane most highly owned in this game?

            It's a question not an argument.

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

          They are not. 2 good in the next 8

  7. Venom Snake
    • 12 Years
    11 years, 3 months ago

    Think RvP should get subbed off now

    1. S.Kuqi
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      Rooney as well.

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

      Quite a few. Wish I'd have kept myself, instead of Baines.

    4. DV8R
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      Yes and I also have Chambers/Moore coming in for him which isn't great

    5. Scoredelario
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      Yes but he is benched

      1. Venom Snake
        • 12 Years
        11 years, 3 months ago

        I benched him for Dummett

        1. Scoredelario
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 15 Years
          11 years, 3 months ago

          Me too

    6. It’s gonna Ben Mee
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      Yes on the bench

  10. Rupert The Horse
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    11 years, 3 months ago

    Anyone fancy giving me a half time report.

    1. Les Bleus
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      United all over Spurs and should've had 2-3 goals.

      1. Valar(Keith)
        • 16 Years
        11 years, 3 months ago

        and if Harry kane was a bit taller he'd have had 2 goals 🙂

    2. Make United Great Again
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      Battered them.

      Should be 3-0 up.

    3. The Mandalorian
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      UTD scored but disallowed.

      1. Malcolm Tucker for England …
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 15 Years
        11 years, 3 months ago

        So didn't score then...

      2. Valar(Keith)
        • 16 Years
        11 years, 3 months ago

        Jones was offside though.. so was fair

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

      Open game, utd could've had a goal or two. Can see Rooney nicking one second half - just doing his lurking and running on thing.

    5. Back to Back Ballacks
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      0-0
      RVP needs a zimmerframe, Falcao needs games. Michael Owen needs to shut the fook up.

    6. The Light Knight
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      RVP and Falcao both flopping at scoring, understandable considering United's unsustainable conversion rate of late

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

        i have both... 🙁

    7. Malcolm Tucker for England …
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      Neither team good enough to score.
      Utd dominating but spurs game plan appears to be soak it up then sneak a breakthrough later

    8. Rupert The Horse
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      Thanks to you all.

  11. Chambo
    • 11 Years
    11 years, 3 months ago

    Clyne out? Well I have no bench then lol

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

      Cup opponent has (C)osta 🙁

      Also has Clyne though with Chambers to replace him 🙂

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

    EVS got rid of van persie so that explains rvp missing that chance 🙂

    1. Scoredelario
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      He hasn't been lucky this season

  13. DARE

    Does anyone have nay idea when we should expect the African players to leave for ACON?

    1. Willis.
      • 14 Years

  14. Moin

    United have been Unlucky the first half

    1. The ghost of a Pug's g…
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      They've rode heir luck over the last 7 weeks or so. About time it runs out.

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

        Kinda true this 😆

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

      Bout time. They've been lucky all season.

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

        Can you be lucky all season?

  15. Solenya
    • 14 Years
    11 years, 3 months ago

    Arguably the best half of the Van Gaal era, given the opposition, the no. and quality of chances created and calmness against an energetic pressing team. Pleased.

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

      agree

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

      Don't be fooled. Tottenham aren't that great at all.

      Real test will be at the Britannia on New Year's Day.

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

        Not overestimating Spurs but their pressing trait was always a worry given our lack of calmness against such opposition, happy on that front.

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

    Rooney is the player to own for Manchester United, followed by RVP, Mata and Falcao.

    I don't own any of these though as I think none of them represent value for money.

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

      yeah rooney best value and everything goes through him basically

  17. Coaly

    Eriksen to Sterling this week for free? Team linked

  18. Dr. Rog

    1. It’s gonna Ben Mee

    Clyne missing likely to affect Chelsea's team?

    Don't understand why Saints would announce he's missing before they need to in the team sheets?

    1. Valar(Keith)
      • 16 Years

        Not using it until sou fixtures have cleared and aguero is back

        1. Marty McFly
          • 13 Years
          11 years, 3 months ago

          Sterling and Silva's fixtures aren't strong enough after GW20 to bring them in for -8pts in GW20, keep them after, and do a late WC.

  26. Marty McFly

    Sold Clyne for Zabaleta

  27. Az

    Falcaos been poor.

    I should now own him..

  28. It’s gonna Ben Mee
    • 12 Years

    Eriksen to score the only goal and Silva will blank. That would upset a few...
