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.

Paul Is certain he won't make the same mistakes next season. Follow them on Twitter

      Seriously considering Hazard to Alli, but Chelsea are home to Hull in 2GW's time.

      May do Kane to Costa and Haz to Alli with my 2FT's next week. I might throw in Baines too for good measure!

  10. nkhoughton
    • 10 Years

    1. Kiwivillan
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      If you have Hazard yes.

      1. nkhoughton
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 3 months ago

        What's hazard got to do with it? Also I'm not dropping him

      2. SpiderHands

  11. Dirty Harry
    • 10 Years

    Eriksen and Alli double up too much?

    Allows me to upgrade Origi as well

    1. Kiwivillan
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      No I'm tripling up on Spurs attack

      1. Dirty Harry
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 3 months ago

        They have a great run. Just a couple of tough games but mostly favourable!

  12. Hybrid.power
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 16 Years

    This is so crap

  13. greghammer95
    • 16 Years
    9 years, 3 months ago

    Eriksen &aCosta owner. would like the spur sales clean sheet to go. Costa goal would be perfect.

    1. Hybrid.power
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      Yes please

    2. Sonic Huth
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

    3. Kiwivillan
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      No. I would get knocked out of cup

  14. diesel001
    • 9 Years

    Eriksen wide.

  15. Team Cruel
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years

    Eriksen wide as usual 🙁

  16. Rhodes your boat
    • 9 Years

  17. Royal5
    • 14 Years

    How is Moses still on the pitch?

  18. jam
    • 16 Years
    9 years, 3 months ago

    Crouch OK to enable 3-5-2 for a bit? Have 5.2 to spend...

    1. Nomar
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      Seems to be in favour at the moment and Stoke strikers are pants. Bony seems to be in the doghouse.

      1. scootadee
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 3 months ago

        going to afcon anyway isnt he

  19. Davido989
    • 15 Years
    9 years, 3 months ago

    Wanyama has had Kante in his pocket the whole game. 🙂

    1. Davido989
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      Now he's getting subbed off. Pocketed.

        • 10 Years

        Conte heard you 😉

  20. Messiah Hazard
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    9 years, 3 months ago

    Eriksen or Sanchez to Alli?

    1. makaveli123
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      Not happy with 2 assists?

      1. Messiah Hazard
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        9 years, 3 months ago

        Goals carry two points more and I am low OR

    2. Kiwivillan
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      Hell no. I'm selling Hazard. Sick of him. Been absolutely useless since I bought after 19pt game

      1. nkhoughton
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 3 months ago

        Hull Burnley and Swansea in next6

    3. nkhoughton
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      Your seriously gonna drop sanc

      1. nkhoughton
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 3 months ago

        Sanchez *

    4. L S P
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      no

  21. Unbowed Unbent N'Golo
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 3 months ago

    Ake or Chambers?

    Ake bigger set piece threat but more at risk of rotation? Chambers set to rise and 'Borough less porous. Both great fixtures. Coin flip?

    1. BERGKOP
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      Ake

  22. makaveli123
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 3 months ago

    With Moses and Azpilicueta both well under 6ft, why haven't more teams targeted Chelsea's right-sided CB and wing-back?

    1. Wilshere Knowledge
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      Courtois collects most crosses.

  23. Scotty B
    • 13 Years
    9 years, 3 months ago

    Which one is better?
    A - Alli, Hazard, Aguero & Giroud
    Or
    B - Sterling, Sanchez, Kane & Costa

    1. YoungPretender
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      Alli, Sanchez, Costa, Lukaku possible?

      1. Scotty B
        • 13 Years
        9 years, 3 months ago

        Yes can afford that by 0.6

    2. Shultan
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      Neither
      Ali, sanchez, ibra & costa

      1. Scotty B
        • 13 Years
        9 years, 3 months ago

        Already got Ibra

  24. Shultan
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 3 months ago

    Mane > ali to be the most popular transfer

  25. Hybrid.power
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 16 Years
    9 years, 3 months ago

    Come on Chelsea!!

    1. diesel001
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      Not going to happen today.

  26. Gamst - Up (?) the Rovers
    • 16 Years
    9 years, 3 months ago

    What players are rising twice before next GW?

    Alli
    Eriksen
    Giroud
    ...

    1. Hurricane Gilbert
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      Alli and Gru

  27. Hurricane Gilbert
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 3 months ago

    Hazard to Alli this week and Origi to Lukaku for free next week?

    1. bluetiger
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      Or both for -4, especially if you don't think Origi will start

    2. Dirty Harry
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      Wish I could afford that.

      Looking at:
      Hazard > Alli

      Then Alonso+Origi > Ake+Kun

  28. fedolefan
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 3 months ago

    Kante(c) fail.

    1. L S P
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      heh

    2. We Will Klopp you
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      You've got to be kidding

    3. BERGKOP
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      This has to be a joke.

  29. FPLHaggis
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 3 months ago

    Cedric & Origi > Baines & Barnes (-4)?

    Money saved will allow Antonio > Coutinho on his return.

  30. AndyCook
      9 years, 3 months ago

      Is losing Lallana for Alli daft?

      1. Kiwivillan
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 3 months ago

        Do you have Hazard
