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

          Gazza, exactly and that was ,,,ehm...20 yeras ago... This country need proper leader and new real deal. Not these primadonas. This country need a guy with big ego and the guy who can back this ego up- on and off the pitch. Guy who is not known for partying till 6 am in the morning. Guy who wants to carry the whole country on his shoulders when the country need him to most...

          55 mil inhabitants and for the past 20 years I haven't seen one exciting player. That's not a dig but it is a great shame and reality. This country needs new exciting player. ONE. Is it that hard? Where is he?

          Absolutely. My favourite player of the 80s. The Messi of his time on some poor pitches.

            • 12 Years
            9 years, 2 months ago

            Bit like how Dennis Irwin was fabulous in the 90's but didn't get much plaudits. Unassuming characters.
