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

    Such a love affair with hazard on this forum. His returns have been appalling.
    Probably the most overrated player in the league

      Hazard is very overrated but he does return points in FPL often from the penalty spot.

    The two goals are absolutely identical: Walker's passes, Eriksen's crosses and Alli's headers.

    Makes me think that Alli + Eriksen might be a better combo than Alli/Eriksen + Kane, though.

    Eriksen and Zaha both left me with parting gifts, welcome Alli, Phillips and Stanislas, hopefully Stanislas and Phillips will give me a bit of pace down the flanks and Alli will give us an extra dimension

        Because Alli scores, worth 2 extra points, while Eriksen is the creator, I couldn't go for the double up as I am anticipating the triumphant return of Coutinho to fpl, plus Eriksen tends to drop deep to make them tick when they get routs (good for the team but bad in an fpl sense) sacrificing his own output (fpl wise) it was a sacrifice rather than an easy transfer.

    Felt last week that Spurs front 3 were basically doing what Firmino, Coutinho and Mane did for Liverpool prior to Couts injury.

    Had Eriksen and Kane since GW14 but did Kane > Aguero last week, and Mane > Alli on Monday after the deadline... (hope Dele's done for the evening! - at least Mane was in the goals this week too!!)

    Feels like the 3 of them could share points, and £2.5m is too much for pens...might be wrong of course!
