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.

    Got £13m to splash on two midfielders to replace my AFCON boys. Any suggestions? Not sure i can stretch to Alli... what you reckon to these?

    a) Stanislas + Walcott
    b) Antonio + Phillips
    c) Alli + De Roon (i know)
    d) Summat else?

    1. Hurricane Gilbert
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 23 days ago

      A lookling like the best combo assuming Wally is fit again.

    2. Twisted Saltergater

      9 years, 23 days ago

      Hey Dunny, if both are playing or you're happy to bench someone other than Stanislas next GW, then A.

      Stanislas is my 5th mid but im starting him back Hull and benching Robson.

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

        *Rondon

  2. HurriKane

    Is Delle Alli actually better than Ozil ? 😀

        9 years, 23 days ago

        ozil is overrated. turns up against minnows like ludogorets

        went missing when arsenal needed him the most against mci and eve

    2. Hurricane Gilbert
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 23 days ago

      In FPL this season, definitely! As a player, I don't think so

      1. Sharpe Shuffle
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 23 days ago

        This.

        FPL = yes, IRL = no (not yet anyway)

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

      Different species, cant compare

    4. Jazz!
      • 11 Years

      FPL yeah, IRL not even close.

    5. Pique boo
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 23 days ago

      yes easily

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

      Should compare Eriksen and Ozil, Alli with we, Barkley 😀

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

        *er, not we .. bloody phone

    7. Winks Club
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 23 days ago

      Definitely

      1. tm370

        9 years, 23 days ago

        Ozil has performed at a world class level in the UCL - Has Alli?
        Ozil has performed for different clubs in different set-ups - Has Alli?
        Ozil has done it at international level - Has Alli?

        It is an irrelevant question. A relevant question is whether Alli has been better this season than Ozil.

        Alli is some player, that is for sure. Ozil is a wonderful talent but he is off at the moment. I think Arsenal fans have reason to fear both him and Sanchez departing.

  3. Bees4Lyf

    im buying in eriksen over alli..... am i crazy? i just get this feeling eriksen will do better

    1. Hurricane Gilbert
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 23 days ago

      Not crazy Eriksen is more reliable

    2. Van der Faart
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 23 days ago

      Not crazy. He's been threatening the last couple of games to score or at least create and he delivered tonight. Will always be a threat

    3. Speédy
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 23 days ago

      Not crazy,eriksen is more reliable,alli will slow down with the goals soon

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

      So many chances to assist with Kane, Alli and those CB's

    5. Shultan
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 23 days ago

      I have eriksen & I'm happy with him. It's been hard to watch alli bang in the goals past 3 matches, but like hazard & sanchez he'll have peaks & troughs. Most seem to be getting him in now & letting hazard go.
      People that kept hold of ibra were laughed at but he had been playing & came good. I've watched chelsea matches & apart from today hazard has played well. Today spurs were just realy good. West Bromwich likely to park the bus next match & spurs find it hard to break teams like that down, it took them a while to break down hull & burnly

    6. Zebras
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 23 days ago

      I'm doing the same. Alli is a goal threat and bang in form but so is Eriksen especially considering he's on their set pieces as well.
      Having both would be a luxury as I don't really see either slowing down anytime soon. Spurs only to improve I think

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

    Looks like Ozil is dropping :/

    Would you do Ozil to Alli?

    1. Judas
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 23 days ago

      yes

    2. Judas
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 23 days ago

      why on earth do you have ozil!

      1. Holmes
        • 12 Years
        9 years, 23 days ago

        Because he had good fixtures and got 10 plus points when I bought him 😛

    3. Venom Snake
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 23 days ago

      Defo

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

      Yes, Wenger said he's likely not to play next week. Might be OK for Swansea though.

      1. Holmes
        • 12 Years
        9 years, 23 days ago

        Next week meant Cup match? If he is fine for Swansea, I would prefer to keep him

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

          His words were, "I don't know, I haven't seen him. He's in bed." !!!

          Said he's definitely not playing next week as he's not trained. Must put him as a doubt for Swansea but maybe wait and see for news.

          1. Holmes
            • 12 Years
            9 years, 23 days ago

            Cheers, will wait. TV is already, might aswell lose 0.1 more 😆

  5. JasonG123
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 23 days ago

    Should I do Hazard and Origi to Alli and Defoe to catch the rises and avoid the falls now? Also Defoe or Giroud?

    1. Hurricane Gilbert
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 23 days ago

      Would try to keep Hazard for the next two.

      I went from Austin > Nacho > Origi. I want a long term option now. Defoe will tick along.

      1. JasonG123
        • 12 Years
        9 years, 23 days ago

        Yes I have gone Gray>Deeney>Austin>Nacho>Origi. Want Defoe to put my out of my misery. With Hazard, he doesn't seem worth the cash anymore, I might try get Costa for Hull.

  6. ⚽️ Dingo ⚽️
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 23 days ago

    Spurs fixtures all the way to April 29 are pretty damn good. That's 14 game weeks.

    1. Pique boo
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 23 days ago

      will they win all 14?

      1. ⚽️ Dingo ⚽️
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 23 days ago

        Quite possibly.

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

      Alli+Rose double up

    3. Hurricane Gilbert
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 23 days ago

      Might have to double up on Alli and Eriksen then. Ideally Rose too

      1. Dirty Harry
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 23 days ago

        On the "Allisen" double right now

    4. ⚽️ Dingo ⚽️
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 23 days ago

      I can see 12 wins in the next 14 for Spurs.

      After falling short last year i think they can genuinely be up there for the premiership.

      West Brom (H)
      Man City (A)
      Sunderland (A)
      Middlesbrough (H)
      Liverpool (A)
      Stoke (H)
      Everton (H)
      Crystal Palace (A)
      Southampton (H)
      Burnley (A)
      Swansea (A)
      Watford (H)
      Bournemouth (H)
      Leicester (A)

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

        After today I think they can/will win

      2. Max City
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 23 days ago

        Unless they got distracted by europa league, or will they?

      3. bigbudgie
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 23 days ago

        Spurs are still Spurs tho.
        They've had this kind of opportunity how many times? and never had the chemistry to take advantage.

    5. Kiwivillan
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 23 days ago

      Just did Hazard>Alli. Triple dipple Spurs attack

      1. Max City
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 23 days ago

        Can anyone explain their dismal performance against bottom clubs before?

  7. Total Foot 5
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 23 days ago

    price rise is in 5 min or around 1:10 UK time?

  8. Hurricane Gilbert
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 23 days ago

    Bottomed. Got some nice feedback earlier and would like a final vote before my decision.

    A) 3-4-3 with Lallana + Origi > Alli and Defoe (-4)

    B) 3-5-2 with de Roon + Origi > Alli and Barnes (-4)

    1. Mini Mane Mo
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 23 days ago

      A

    2. JÆKS ⭐
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 23 days ago

      Def B for me

    3. Winks Club
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 23 days ago

      A

    4. Hurricane Gilbert
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 23 days ago

      Ah damn tied

    5. Pierce34
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 23 days ago

      Close - it essentially boils down to Lallana vs. Defoe. Probably B for me.

  9. Torres76
    • 16 Years
    9 years, 23 days ago

    Time for price changes?

    1. Viprin
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 23 days ago

      15 mins more

  10. Lav
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 23 days ago

    Need a couple more opinions.

    0.5 ITB

    Foster Pick
    Alonso Cedric Holebas Friend Ake
    Sanchez Haz Eriksen Capoue de Roon
    Ibra Costa Rondon

    Drop Holebas, Cedric and/or Friend, Capoue, Hazard for -8/-12?

    1. RubeRx
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 23 days ago

      Just Capoue to Phillips

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

      I'd just do capoue and haz this week. maybe Cedric too

      1. Lav
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 23 days ago

        Keep Holebas?

        1. MartialMatas
          • 10 Years
          9 years, 23 days ago

          yeah. you dont want to take too big a hit

          1. Lav
            • 9 Years
            9 years, 23 days ago

            True but defense is in shambles but they have good fixtures. Might sort it out the next GW

  11. MartialMatas
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 23 days ago

    Pogba or Mkhitaryan?

    1. Royal5
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 23 days ago

      Nah

      1. Royal5
        • 14 Years
        9 years, 23 days ago

        Ibra more than enough.

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

      Mkhi

    3. Speédy
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 23 days ago

      Pogba

    4. Winks Club
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 23 days ago

      Paul Drogba

  12. RubeRx
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 23 days ago

    Wow green arrow despite selling Siggy for a hit

    1. Speédy
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 23 days ago

      Green arrow despite benching eriksen for me

      1. ⚽️ Dingo ⚽️
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 23 days ago

        Why would you bench Eriksen?

        1. Speédy
          • 9 Years
          9 years, 23 days ago

          Had Sanchez hazard siggy Phillips ibra ,rondon and tekkers

    2. Royal5
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 23 days ago

      Did Siggy > Lallana on WC last week. Pool not even beating Sunderland is pathetic.

      1. RubeRx
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 23 days ago

        The Pickford injury swinged it for me, but oh well still plenty of mistakes to be made lol

  13. NATSTER
    • 15 Years
    9 years, 23 days ago

    Want Baines, worth to downgrade any premium DF ?

    A: Alonso (bought 5.9, now 6.5m)
    W: Walker (bought 5.7, now 6.1m)

    1. Royal5
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 23 days ago

      Eh? Everton got City coming up. At least wait.

      1. NATSTER
        • 15 Years
        9 years, 23 days ago

        Yeah, it's planning.

    2. Netley Lucas
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 23 days ago

      A

    3. Winks Club
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 23 days ago

      A if you do it

    4. NATSTER
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 23 days ago

      Thanks. May you suggest for why Alonso?

      Fixtures ?
      Walker has more chance for bonus points ?

  14. Kiwivillan
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 23 days ago

    Hazard>Alli done. Get the hell off my lawn Eden

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

      🙁

    2. Hurricane Gilbert

      Are you a republican?

    3. Kiwivillan
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 23 days ago

      No I'm Clint Eastwood

    4. jia you
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 23 days ago

      crazy move considering the next two fixtures imo!

      1. Kiwivillan
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 23 days ago

        Last 4 Palace Bournemouth Stoke 8 goals scored and just an assist and a very late penalty. No goal from open play. Wanted to sell weeks ago

        1. jia you
          • 9 Years
          9 years, 23 days ago

          Fair enough, and there's the Alli price rises also, but think I'll give Haz two more chances. GL

    5. The Big Fella
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 23 days ago

      Ditto. Holebas to Ake too. Next stop, Zaha to Stanislas and Cedric to Walker.

  15. Snevitz
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 16 Years
    9 years, 23 days ago

    The my current wildcard team, lots of points will be left on the bench but i''ll have decisions every week!

    Randolph
    Alonso, Rose, Ake
    Sanchez (C), Eriksen, Alli, Snodgrass
    Ibra, Giroud, Defoe

    Grant, Phillips, Baines, Brunt

    1. ⚽️ Dingo ⚽️
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 23 days ago

      Horrible. You'll make the wrong decisions week in week out and be totally frustrated.

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

        I like it, makes it more interesting.
        Bench one of Snodgrass, Phillips or Defoe every week.
        Bench one of Alonso, Rose, Baines and Brunt every week.

        Downgrading Costa to Defoe gave me the cash to upgrade so many other players.....

        1. ⚽️ Dingo ⚽️
          • 9 Years
          9 years, 23 days ago

          Go for it.

    2. Winks Club
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 23 days ago

      Bench Boost can be used only once

    3. Shultan
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 23 days ago

      By benching 3 good players each week, you'll miss a lot of points

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

        So I should have players that don't score points on my bench? Surely I want good players in reserve?

        This is a template WC team with Costa downgraded to Defoe (0.5 points a game difference so far) and the usual dregs on the bench upgraded to decent players with the cash

    4. Speédy
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 23 days ago

      I like the formula of having some good players on bench,but those are tooo good players I reckon

  16. RubeRx
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 23 days ago

    You guys really didn't think Chelsea was just going to run away with the league right?

    We are only halfway boys, plenty to play for

  17. BremerHB
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 23 days ago

    Looking to get a Spurs defender in for the next while.

    1.9 ITB, 0FT so it'd be for a hit this week or wait a week and do it for free.

    Who gets replaced out of these: Pieters or Jones?

    Edging towards Pieters after they play Sunderland but he's been getting me decent points here and there. Jones has good fixtures.

    Or someone else...?
    Other defenders are: Amat, Alonso & Brunt.

    Cheers all! All the best for 2017.

      • 11 Years
      9 years, 23 days ago

      1. Kiwivillan
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 23 days ago

        Dope I mean Eriksen Alli Kane. Sold Hazard

    • 13 Years
    9 years, 23 days ago

    That was one of the best games i have watched all season
    I still would not rule out Spurs winning the title

    1. Kiwivillan
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      Didn't watch but seen few of their last games and that's their best 11 and just about the most complete team in the league

        No easy task getting one over on Chelsea they handled it well if Chelsea slip up again they have every chance now

      Agree, as a neutral I thought it was brilliant

    "Dele Alli has now scored 20 league goals since the start of last season. No Premier League midfielder has more in that time."

    He has also had 16 assists in that time and is only 20! That's 7 goals in 4 games now. Is he bound for Madrid this summer?

    1. Winks Club
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 23 days ago

      Don't think he suits for Madrid that well

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

      That's why I decided not to worry about Hazard explosion due. It assumes Alli will stop scoring at the same time

      Madrid have there own young talent beat Sevilla today 3-0 without the BBC

    Sterling & Costa --> Phillips & Kun (-8) worth it?

    1. Royal5
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 23 days ago

      No. WC?

  23. TokyoRisingSun
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 23 days ago

    Good to go?

    Heaton. Valdes.
    Alonso. Brunt. Jones. Ake. Amat.
    Sanchez. Mkhitaryan. Alli. Phillips. De Roon.
    Ibra. Costa. Benteke

    Benteke the only issue, but on -4 atm and not worth another hit to get rid IMO

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

      I'd have made Benteke the priority but yep, looks good

    Loving my team #preyfornoinjuries

    Foster - Jaku
    Alonso - Brunt - Baines - Ake - Pieters
    Hazard - Sanchez - Alli - Pedro - Stanislas
    Aguero - Giroud - Rondon

    1. Kiwivillan
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 23 days ago

      Too much Hazard

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

      Otherwise very pretty

        Yeah, Hazard stinking it up at the minute. Cheers 😉

      Prefer my front 3

      Kane Ibra Giroud

        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 16 Years
        9 years, 23 days ago

        That's a lot of captain options. I only have Aguero and Sanchez, with Hazard and Alli as considerations. Should be ok with the fixtures though.

        Captain is effectively double, right? ;&)

      That defense is exciting! 😀

        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 16 Years
        9 years, 23 days ago

        8 - 15 - 7 from Brunt, Baines and Pieters this week! Love it when a defence backs up your mid big hitters.

  25. Lav

    0.5m ITB

    Sanchez Haz Eriksen Capoue de Roon

    Dropping Haz & Capoue for -4. Leaves me with 15.2 who do I bring in?

  26. JÆKS ⭐
    • 11 Years

    If Sturridge would be fit against Manu, what would you do with this team to get Origi out.

    Valdes Jaku
    Alonso Holebas Lovren Pieters Amat
    Sanchez Hazard Eriksen Jrod Fletcher
    Ibra Costa Origi

    0.3 short of Origi + Hazard to Alli + Lukaku btw

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

      Origi to C Wilson?

      I think Origi has more chance of playing with Mané at AFCON.

      1. JÆKS ⭐
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 23 days ago

        Yea hoping Coutinho and Sturridge won't be back until after the Swansea game, but that seems unlikely I think.

        Hmm yea might be a good shout considering the fixtures, although he is relying on pens to get some points this season

  27. Ghost86
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 23 days ago

    Origi is dropping is he worth -4 to

    A) Benteke
    B) Carroll
    C) Negredo
    D) Gray

  28. Fantasy Challenged

    So after waiting on Hazard and Spurs, I have decided to pull the trigger on Hazard and Origi out to Defoe and Alli in, using my 2 FT.

    Yes, I know Spurs did well to contain Chelsea tonight and I know that Hazard could explode against Hull at home, but I have Costa and Alonso for cover there. As for Defoe, I got Origi in early so getting rid now just made financial sense and I'll have to hope Moyesy ignores him for the cup games. Alli is probably a bit of a risk, but the only I'm going to get anywhere in the rankings is to be a bit more risky.

    Having said that, in the past I wasn't one for taking hits, but this season has forced my hands a few times and they have paid off thus far. SO depending on how the cup games play out, I'll likely to be taking another one to get Ake in for Lovren.

    Now to hide in a cave until next weekend. Cheers 🙂

      No such thing as cover. Imagine having Kane as Spurs cover tonight!!!

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

        That's not cover, that's bad management. 🙂

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

        I tend to agree with you actually, Dingo. However I'd rather have Costa, arguably the most consistent player of the season in my team along with an attacking wing back in Alonso in a team that has had a mainly resolute defence with Alli in midfield as my only attacking Spurs player as opposed to having all 3 Chelsea big hitters. Don't you think? 🙂

    2. Sharpe Shuffle

      There's no way Defoe plays in the cup 🙂

      1. Fantasy Challenged
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 23 days ago

        He better not!

    3. Gnu
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 23 days ago

      Sound moves imo.
      Costa & Alonso coverage I reckon makes Hazard an excess that makes Alli a no-brainer.
      Just done a rare-ish hit myself - needs must sometimes.

  29. Hurricane Gilbert

    Gun to your head: Defoe or Lallana?

    1. Winks Club
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 23 days ago

      Defoe short and long term

      1. Winks Club
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 23 days ago

        Short term is the one to ponder with gun to my head, i guess. So Defoe still

    2. SuperDunny - Used to be goo…
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 23 days ago

      Defoe

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

      Neither, but probably Lallana.

      Pedro??

    4. Gnu
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 23 days ago

      Defoe
      *please don't shoot*

    5. Royal5
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 23 days ago

      Kind of already regretting getting Lallana last week. Don´t trust Pool.

      1. Max City

        Somehow I agree with this.. Really hard to pick one right player of liverpool

    6. Ógie
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years

      I would tell the person holding the gun to shoot me instead

  30. FDMS All Starz
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 23 days ago

    Hazard & origi to Alli & Defoe (no hits) should I pull the trigger?

      Waiting might be better
