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

    Well so far Hazard->Phillips and benching Alonso has worked out well.

    A Willian goal would be lovely to bust up Sp*rs CS...

      20 mins

  10. Reedy
    • 15 Years
    9 years, 24 days ago

    Alli got the goals today, on another day it could have been Kane. But you KNOW Eriksen will get the assists.

    1. SC not pearls before swine
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 23 days ago

      Both good options. But in terms of FPL points Alli was better on a per minute basis last year and has been better so far this year. It's hard to keep up to goals with assists.

    2. scootadee
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 23 days ago

      this.

  11. Sgt Frank Drebin
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 24 days ago

    Alonso owners what you're doing with him?

    1. Tsssst
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 24 days ago

      Nothing, there's 2 weeks til the next PL game isn't there?

    2. The Wise Owl
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 24 days ago

      Swapping for VVD probably

      1. Sonny “The Hitman&rdq…
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 23 days ago

        He may well be on Chelsea by the end of the month

    3. Sonny “The Hitman&rdq…
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 23 days ago

      He created a lot of chances today.
      Could move him to Daniels, Ake, Brunt, Baines ... ???

    4. Sif
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 23 days ago

      Keeping, got him in 5.9
      Don't assume CS from Che or Spurs but still great prospects, Benched this week and was rewarded.

  12. Les Bleus
    • 14 Years
    9 years, 24 days ago

    Average in the top 10k increased by 5 points since the Spurs CS.

    C'mon Chelsea, please score!!

  13. Numb
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 24 days ago

    Hazard > Alli going to be popular this week

    1. Colonel Shoe 肝池
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 24 days ago

      the reverse will be popular when alli gets injured in the cup

      1. Numb
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 24 days ago

        Probably won't play

      2. diesel001
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 24 days ago

        ain't gonna happen (non-Alli owner). Just my luck that Alli scores two today.

  14. Hybrid.power
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 15 Years

    1. Twisted Saltergater
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 23 days ago

  19. bluetiger
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 24 days ago

    Hazard and Origi > Alli and Lukaku (-4). No brainier, right?

    1. Les Bleus
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 23 days ago

      For sure.

    2. Sgt Frank Drebin
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 23 days ago

      right

    3. Sif
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 23 days ago

  20. Kiwivillan
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 24 days ago

    If Hazard gets 2pts he will have same points 38 in last 8 games played as Alli last 3 not including tonight's score. Hazard is a joke at +10m

    1. Gamst - Up (?) the Rovers
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 23 days ago

      Do you have a crystal ball? I have a long run.

    2. Forza
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 23 days ago

      You'd have a point if it was obvious in November that this would happen...

      Hindsight is wonderful.

  21. MTPockets
      9 years, 24 days ago

      Capoue/De Roon -> Alli/Eriksen?
