The festive fixture list finally draws to its conclusion this evening as Tottenham Hotspur welcome Chelsea to White Hart Lane at 8pm.

Four of the top seven captains for Gameweek 20 – Zlatan Ibrahimovic, Alexis Sanchez, Sergio Aguero and Romelu Lukaku – have already found the net earlier in the week.

The remaining three, Diego Costa, Eden Hazard and Harry Kane, have it all to do, then, with Costa the most popular of that trio – 11.6% have backed the Spain international, compared to Hazard (4.7%) and Kane’s 2.8%.

Costa, certainly, has been the more impressive of the Chelsea pair on his travels – the Spain international has scored eight away goals compared to Hazard’s two.

Yet the league leaders won’t have it easy – Spurs boast the tightest home defence in the top-flight, with just five goals against in front of their own fans.

Chelsea, meanwhile, have been similarly resilient, conceding just one goal in six away matches since Antonio Conte switched to a 3-4-3 set-up.

Nonetheless, many Fantasy managers will be keeping a keen eye on Kane along with Deli Alli and Christian Eriksen, with the fixtures set to smile kindly on Spurs from Gameweek 21 onwards.

    Might have to sacrifice Chelsea attack for Alli. No Costa or Hazard.
    Crazy?

    1. Lizard Lips

      They don't score many and tough fixtures. Wise move I think.

        9 years, 6 months ago

        32 goals last 13..yep. Don't score much

        1. Lizard Lips
          • 13 Years
          9 years, 6 months ago

          They have a lead now and will revert to being more defensive. Just you see my naysayer.

      same boat. Can't decide... Seems mad when they've been the best team in the league

    3. Rainer

      Thinking the same, dropping Hazard, only worry is the Hull game...

  2. Lizard Lips

    That Hazard header was an absolute sitter. Think I've got ton sell him.

    1. My Name Is Prince
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      Haz --> Alli done (he then goes on to a blank run, such is the nature of the game)

  3. TheSteel
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    9 years, 6 months ago

    Alli will sky rocket to about 15-20% ownership by next gw

    @lateriser21 Any chance you could update us on the Giggs Boson team? Interesting to see if it actually kept the pace after a massive reboot some time ago. Cheers!

  5. My Name Is Prince
    • 13 Years
    9 years, 6 months ago

    People saying it's a knee jerk to sell Haz for Alli are insane

  6. AbsoluteDON
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 6 months ago

    Thoughts on Hazard / origi to Alli / Giroud for -4 ?

    1. My Name Is Prince
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

    2. MTPockets
      9 years, 6 months ago

    3. Kiwivillan
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years

      No brainer

  7. Business Cat
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 6 months ago

    Hazard's gonna get a penalty isn't?

    Can see it happening

    1. My Name Is Prince
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      Hope so, a departing gift would be nice

  8. DantheManinaPan
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    So... big question has to be Hazard to Alli?

    1. My Name Is Prince
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      How come it's a big question?

  9. Bubz
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 6 months ago

    Eriksen not actually far behind Alli in the baps

  10. We Will Klopp you
    • 9 Years

  11. YoungPretender
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 6 months ago

    Delle Alli my signing of the season so far in what has otherwise been a miserable campaign.

  12. Syd.
    • 17 Years

  13. Les Bleus
    • 14 Years

      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years

      1. Hybrid.power
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 16 Years
        9 years, 6 months ago

        Price changes are caused by transfers. People need to hold off

      2. The Overthinker
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 6 months ago

        Price changes I agree, but when you have 1-2 games in those 10 games.

    My key decisions last week:
    1) Alli or Pogba...i went with Pogba
    2) Benteke or Baines...i went with Benteke

    Yay!!

    1. Ridcully
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      I went for Pogba as well, hopefully he will perform well over the coming games.

    Why is Lukaku on the brink of dropping?

    1. TheSteel
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

    2. Champione
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

    3. Alnair
      • 9 Years

  27. The Overthinker
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 6 months ago

    2 goals from Alli, and 2 assist from eriksen didn't change green arrow to red for me.
    I just hope spurs don't get a cs

  28. TheSteel
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
