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

      Costa hattrick and Kane blank incoming.

  2. ā˜…Kunthemanā˜…

    Sanchez is definitely the best player in the league. I can easily admit that now.

    1. HuttonDressedasLahm
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      **One of
      Definitely first 11

      Yes he is...

    3. El-Kloppico

      Very lucky though

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

        Best player in this division..He should play the one above PL..

        With Ronaldo and Messi maybe Suarez..Easy call.

  3. Fowler23
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 3 months ago

    Barkley is so bad
    England great hope lol

    Question: is Koeman a bigger fraud than Guardiola?

    1. Licky
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      That Everton squad is woeful to be fair.

    2. Dino
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      No, the Everton players are frauds. Koeman didn't inherit a squad that had won two premier leagues he inherited a squad that barely avoided relegation.

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

      The word 'fraud' is overused in football.

  5. Unliklinho
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 3 months ago

    Live PL commentary making a point about the goal was a deflected (read lucky) fk, then printing a tweet from some clown who says 'Sanchez gets more clinical with every game'...

  6. Hybrid.power

    The amount of money I've made from Alexis, Costa, Kane, Hazard

        He can score as many as he wants. Just so long as Kane scores more.

    • Jacket Potato
      • 9 Years

      Is Big Phil Jones nailed? Looks like smalling back soon, something I missed ?

      1. Matamatics
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 3 months ago

      2. fijuhmon
        • 14 Years
        9 years, 3 months ago

        Smalling and Bailly returning soon, so defo not nailed

      3. FPL Virgin
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 3 months ago

        That's why I held off. Smalling not far off and Bailey back now.

        1. Jacket Potato
          • 9 Years
          9 years, 3 months ago

          Yeah thinking that also, need a player for my bench that won't likely loose his place, good value tho for a few fixtures.

      1. ā˜…Kunthemanā˜…
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 3 months ago

        Not any different from most of our English signings

      1. Mull
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years

          • 10 Years
          9 years, 3 months ago

          Pretty incredible for a forward too

        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years

    • KUNingas
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago
