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

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

      Already lined up ready to hit confirm. Azpi out?

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

        Aspi goneskies.

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

          no point doing it now. He will play next week and you may end up with injuries/supsensions from todays games.

  10. Stephen - Robot Daniels
    • 13 Years
    11 years, 3 months ago

    That ******* long haired rat luis playing instead of Azpi, why is he being rested again?

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

      Because Mourinho came out and said he would rotate over Christmas.

    2. Black Knights
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      I don't think you can blame last year's La Liga winner and Champ League finalist for you owning a rotation risk. Had the same choice a month ago and did JT.

  22. Syd.
    • 16 Years

    Apzi being benched doesn't really matter as Southampton will score today

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

    McNob 3rd sub.

    Taylor 2nd.

    No Azpi.

    Will Chambers play I wonder. I think yes.

    1. Spectrum-FFS Doubles Champ
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      Hope so, no Azpi no Clyne going to be relying on him

    2. The King
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      I do...no way he'll play Monreal vs West Ham, just depends on if Kosc passes the fitness test.

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

      lol NcNob 🙂

      Why didnt you start him above Naylor?

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

        I was expecting a cameo off the bench as he played midweek, and Smalling was back 😡

    4. Diva
      • 11 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      I hope so! Looks like I may need my fifth defender this week...

  24. Messiah Hazard
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    11 years, 3 months ago

    No Azpilicueta 🙁

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

      no surprise.

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

        No, quite. He's the only Chelsea defender with an equally good back-up.

  25. davies
    • 11 Years

    • 12 Years
    11 years, 3 months ago

    Fab (in the hole), Haz and Costa - check! No Clyne or Bert. Could be a good week this.

  27. chicrah
    • 14 Years

    I did Cahill to Azpi (due to Cahill injury doubt) weeks ago on an early trannie. Now regretting the decision of not waiting the news before doing it.

  30. Messiah Hazard
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
