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.

      Hold Firmino imo. Decent player in a decent side will come good.

        Been holding onto him for a while plus this fpl season has taught me that theres no time for sticking.

      Hazard still stands above them on the season for total and ppg, Alli is in form, no secret!

    Do you think Alli will get 3 baps

    1. scootadee
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      currently.
      eriksen could steal it with a goal here though 😉

    2. Sess!
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      Yeah although eriksen is pushing him.

    1. The Bandit
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      He's fine

  16. Kaneyonero

  17. Sim Simma

    Owning Kane is frustrating ...

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

      But just one goal away from everybody bringing him in, and forgetting that they wanted Defoe or Giroud 2 hours ago 😉

    I just want any chelsea player to score now

  19. ᶠᶦˡᵗʰʸLucre $$$
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 6 months ago

    Chelsea have been awful second half

    1. diesel001
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      Two things:

      i) Spurs scored from two early crosses into the box, because they have not been able to thread anything through
      ii) Chelsea have not put any early balls into the box and have had no one in the box early enough even if they did.

  20. Team Cruel
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 6 months ago

    Come on Eriksen my son. Any goal involvement will give him the full baps

    1. Kiwivillan
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      Yes please

  21. fedolefan
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 6 months ago

    How many baps for Kane?

    1. Dazzler365
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      -742

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

      Zero, unless there's a bacon bap waiting for him in the dressing room

  22. Yome
    • 14 Years
    9 years, 6 months ago

    Haz will punish the sellers against porous Leicester

    1. Kiwivillan
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      8 games 38pts. Had. Enough.

      1. diesel001
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 6 months ago

        Actually not that bad a return - 4.75pts a game. Alli and Eriksen have just been ludicrous with their returns - mean reversion almost after how poor they were at the start of the season.

        1. Ten Season Wonder
          • 12 Years
          9 years, 6 months ago

          4.75 points p/g is not good enough for a player who costs as much as Hazard does

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

      Who cares what he does against Leicester, it's the long term that matters! Hazard's been awful for his price since the Everton game...

  23. Shultan
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 6 months ago

    Come on eriksen get more BAPS

  24. The Wise Owl
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 6 months ago

    Alonso > ?

    1. Kiwivillan
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      Hold?

      1. The Wise Owl
        • 10 Years

        My knee is jerking

    2. L S P

      ->Alonso?

      1. The Wise Owl
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 6 months ago

        Too sideways

        1. L S P
          • 10 Years
          9 years, 6 months ago

          fair

  25. dillydally1982
    • 16 Years
    9 years, 6 months ago

    Ali & Wilson OR Stanislas & Giroud (I already have Sanchez, but not Kane).

    1. Sess!
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      Alli and wilson

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

    Hazard to Sanchez is a pretty easy transfer for me

    1. Sess!
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      Could punish you with next games being lei and HUL although Sanchez essential with those fixtures.

    2. greghammer95
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      No reason not to.

  27. seanie3
    • 15 Years
    9 years, 6 months ago

    very good performance by spurs, well up for it, Chelsea toothless and bottled it

  28. JJeyy
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 6 months ago

    Alli ---> Elneny???

    Knee Jerk

    1. Tansey
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      Nah looks good

  29. Bob_the_builder
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 6 months ago

    As a proud Eriksen owner,I think its appalling to consider removing him for Alli.Alli may be more explosive but what Eriksen is producing is more sustainable.Double up if you may though but don't drop the lad.

    1. Sess!
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      Pretty much this

    2. Kiwivillan
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      Exactly

    3. greghammer95
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      This. Eriksen has had his more explosive days too. Both great options, although I'm worried alli could push on and be one of the players of the season.

    4. AT
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      I highly recommend the double, best thing I've done all season

    Conte needs a way to get Fabs in the lineup
