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.

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

      1. scootadee
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 24 days ago

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

        • 15 Years

        Yeah although eriksen is pushing him.

      Owning Kane is frustrating ...

        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years

        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

    • ᶠᶦˡᵗʰʸLucre $$$
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 24 days ago

      Chelsea have been awful second half

      1. diesel001
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 24 days 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.

    • Team Cruel
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

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

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

        Yes please

    • fedolefan
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 24 days ago

      How many baps for Kane?

      1. Dazzler365
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 24 days ago

        -742

      2. Business Cat
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 24 days ago

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

    • Yome
      • 14 Years

      Haz will punish the sellers against porous Leicester

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

        8 games 38pts. Had. Enough.

        1. diesel001
          • 9 Years
          9 years, 24 days 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
            • 11 Years
            9 years, 24 days 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, 24 days 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...

    • Shultan
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 24 days ago

      Come on eriksen get more BAPS

    • The Wise Owl

        Hold?

          My knee is jerking

            • 10 Years

            fair

    • dillydally1982
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 24 days ago

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

      1. Sess!
        • 15 Years
        9 years, 24 days ago

        Alli and wilson

    • Bubz
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 24 days ago

      Hazard to Sanchez is a pretty easy transfer for me

      1. Sess!
        • 15 Years
        9 years, 24 days ago

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

      2. greghammer95
        • 16 Years
        9 years, 24 days ago

        No reason not to.

    • seanie3
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 24 days ago

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

    • JJeyy
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 24 days ago

      Alli ---> Elneny???

      Knee Jerk

      1. Tansey
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 24 days ago

        Nah looks good

    • Bob_the_builder
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 24 days 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, 24 days ago

        Pretty much this

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

        Exactly

      3. greghammer95
        • 16 Years
        9 years, 24 days 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.
