The December schedule now picks up pace as Tuesday evening treats Fantasy managers to the first two matches of Gameweek 16.

All eyes will be on Alexis Sanchez as Arsenal make their way to Goodison.

The Chilean has already delivered 10+ points hauls on four occasions away from the Emirates and faces a defence that’s managed a single clean sheet in 11.

Both Theo Walcott and Mesut Ozil were in the goals at home to Stoke and Saturday and have the chance to stake a claim as a double-up option alongside their more explosive team-mate.

For the Toffees, Romelu Lukaku returned to form with a brace away to Watford last weekend and looks the man most likely to break down a Gunners rearguard that’s kept out their opponents in only one of the last eight Gameweeks.

Bournemouth entertain a resurgent Leicester in the other 7.45pm kick-off.

Fantasy interest in Jamie Vardy is on the rise after his stunning hat-trick at home to Man City ended a 10-Gameweek goalless drought.

If Claudio Ranieri’s men can take advantage of a Cherries defence that’s conceded three times in each of the last three Gameweeks, more investment could come their way ahead of some decent upcoming fixtures.

The home side will be buoyed by the numbers too, though.

Having conceded 18 times in seven road trips, Leicester’s defence has been anything but resilient – only Crystal Palace (19) have shipped more away goals.

Callum Wilson drops to the bench despite netting against Arsenal and Liverpool over the last three Gameweeks. Steve Cook, Nathan Ake and Charlie Daniels boast plenty of goal threat from the back, though – all three have netted twice already this season.

Paul Is certain he won't make the same mistakes next season. Follow them on Twitter

      • 16 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      Big red predicted for me on FFF and I own him. That's annoying.
      Will only be happy if Kane matches his score.

    7. diesel001
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      Yes - provided he does not get another goal or assist. Up to Kane to deliver two or more goals tomorrow now.

    8. Volley127
      • 13 Years

    Wally needs to go right?

    1. Swan - Villa Proud
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years

    2. Deulofail
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      Not sure. Fixtures coming up are golden

      1. Lone Wolf FPL
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 3 months ago

        city next

        1. Deulofail
          • 10 Years
          9 years, 3 months ago

          Hopefully that's the one game he's rested for, though his price would plummet. Although Walcott v City could be good. If he was nailed for certain, if keep him over Siggy or anyone cheaper

  4. Venom Snake
    • 12 Years

    Alexis such a competitor

        1. joescores
          • 10 Years

      1. joescores
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 3 months ago

        I drunk Coor light in 2005 in Maryland, it tasted like a human wee ( I think thats the way wee tastes)..Have they improved since?

      2. the axolotl
        • 14 Years
        9 years, 3 months ago

        everything you never wanted from a beer, and less

  6. Nomar
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 16 Years
    9 years, 3 months ago

    Ake CS and bonus buried on my bench. Lovely!

    1. WVA
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      What is your def?

      1. Nomar
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 16 Years
        9 years, 3 months ago

        Starting Cedric, Alonso and Walker.

        Put Amat ahead of Ake on bench. Did it the other way round on Saturday too!

        1. WVA
          • 9 Years
          9 years, 3 months ago

          Fair enough thats a good defence, Bournemouth defenders all score so highly though!

          1. Nomar
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 16 Years
            9 years, 3 months ago

            Yeah.

            Wouldn't be so bad if Cedric plays. If he doesn't then I'm getting rid of him this weekend.

        2. Sjaugen
          • 10 Years
          9 years, 3 months ago

          Would have done the same

    2. thevikings
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      We exactly the same bench, except i have ake before amat on bench. Gonna pray for a Cedric/Walker rest tomorrow.

  7. Feanor
    • 16 Years
    9 years, 3 months ago

    I deserve all the credit for this Bournemouth clean sheet. Me taking out Smith guaranteed it.

    1. diesel001
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      Thanks - that is what I like - unlucky players who ditch the players I have.

  8. JaydenLFC87
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 3 months ago

    Coleman playing like a bit of the old tonite any takers at this stage?

    1. Over Midwicket
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      No thanks

    2. Albrightondknight
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      Totally the amount of work he is getting through is silly. I lost him this week for Azpi. Should be ok long term. Everton can't defend no matter how good Coleman is going forward.

  9. Butcher
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 3 months ago

    Will Lovren drop tonight? FPL statistics says 92%

    1. DA Minnion (Former great)
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      Dead I hope.I've ake first sub and lovern starting.

  10. Bruno Bruno!!
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 3 months ago

    even though sanchez has scored im happy as a non owner, arsenal have looked poor apart from the first 20 minutes

    1. twoplustwo
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      Yeah a few teams not inspiring at the moment

  11. Bubz
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 3 months ago

    Need to buy Sanchez 🙁

    1. Grand Thibauto
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      How really at this price without dropping someone important

      1. Bubz
        • 12 Years
        9 years, 3 months ago

        God knows

      2. FPL Puppy
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 3 months ago

        My thought exactly.

      3. Gamst - Up (?) the Rovers
        • 16 Years
        9 years, 3 months ago

        Sell Aguero.

    2. FPL Puppy
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      With heavy GWs during Christmas and New Year's and God knows what could happen in 1-2 GWs, is it really worth doing major surgery just to bring him in?

      1. FPL Puppy
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 3 months ago

        I'm not saying that you shouldn't do it, it's just that you would probably have to sacrifice one or two importants spots just to afford 11.7 for Alexis (11.8 tomorrow).

  12. Grand Thibauto
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 3 months ago

    Iwobi close

  13. Eden Azzzar
    • 10 Years

  14. SAY SOMETHING SIGNIFICANT
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 3 months ago

    In non-FPL terms, this is quite and interesting game. End to end stuff.

  15. Old Bull
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 3 months ago

    Fed up with Koscielny's poor returns. Best value defender ideas please?

        1. Konig Luther
          • 13 Years
          9 years, 3 months ago

      1. Eden Azzzar
        • 10 Years

        Most have
        Sanchez

      2. diesel001
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 3 months ago

        Sanchez + Bournemouth defender.

      3. Pochecinno
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 3 months ago

        Sanchez and Bournemouth defenders probably

      4. TorresMagic™
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • Has Moderation Rights
        • 16 Years
        9 years, 3 months ago

        Sanchez = 9.6

      5. Adam West - Team Serbia for…
        • 15 Years
        9 years, 3 months ago

        I am guessing most own Sanchez and have another player who didn't do well .

      6. Grand Thibauto
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 3 months ago

        Sanchez just getting 9. But Bournemouth defenders is edging them I think.
