Sunday brings the Gameweek to a close with a trio of matches featuring an array of Fantasy talent. Things get rolling with a pair of lunchtime kick-offs, as Villa host United and Swansea make the trip to Carrow Road to face Chris Hughton’s Norwich. That’s followed by the headline act, as Andre Villas-Boas looks to continue the Spurs revival against a Liverpool unit weakened by a string of injuries.

While the press will be focused on David Moyes, Fantasy managers will be more interested in Wayne Rooney’s performance. With a potential absence for Sergio Aguero looming, the United striker could make himself “essential” over the Christmas period if he can produce in the midlands. With Michu expected to earn a run-out at Norwich, we’ll have the opportunity to assess whether he can join both David Silva and Theo Walcott on our midfield Christmas list, while at 4pm, all eyes will be on Luis Suarez as he looks to overcome the absence of skipper Steven Gerrard and strike partner Daniel Sturridge against the Spurs back four.

Look to our Twitter feed for the latest teamsheet bulletins, while our Dugout Discussion chatroom is now open and will remain available throughout today’s three fixtures.

Mark Mark created the beast. He's now looking to tame it.

    The thing about the Aguero replacement , he needs to be captainable . Unless are we going to just stick the Armand on Suarez every week , but he has city and Chelsea away in the next 3 weeks

    Rooney does have hull and norwich those 2 weeks

      couldn't chose the right one between Migs & Boruc for weeks at the start of the season.

      Sometimes make me think it's better to have just one playing keeper and accept the outcome. Less painful

    Whenever I captain a player against my own team the FPL gods punish me for doing it. This is one of those times.

        I've been having a terrible season which is why I'm taking big punts but I really think Hooper is a great option, his next two fixtures are very good.

    While I'd like Rooney to be playing more advanced, from a non FPL point of view I have to say this is one of the few great tactical moves I've seen from Moyes this season. Rooney in midfield has given them a control of possession and dictation of tempo that they lost ever since Carrick was injured.

    Lots of twists and turns to come in this game. As the game progresses and subs are made anything could happen. Rooney also has set pieces in his locker. As a captainer it's not going so well but I am enjoying the game.

    There are genuinely more important things than FPL.

      Agreed on your observation though. No one in United midfield can dictate the tempo with Carrick out
