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

      Do you get a preamble on Sundays?

        • 9 Years
        9 years, 3 months ago

        Is there ever 8 games on a Sunday and 2 on a Saturday?

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

          How about Saturdays after Friday night footy?

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

            This could go on for a while ...

    2. Les Bleus
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      Doubt it. Maybe an amble?

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

        I'll take it.

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

    Lovren -> Valencia before price drop tonight?

  3. Lizard Lips
    • 13 Years
    9 years, 3 months ago

    Walcott very much in a number 9 position. Playing centrally off the last defender. Ridiculously cheap as well. Bellerin back too. What's not to like? Don't get it. Few poor match stats but season stats and average look great especially for the price.

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

      Maybe not giving points

    2. El-Kloppico
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      Come back next week.. if he is not on the bench! 🙂

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

      Didn't you just get rid of him this week?

    4. HurriKane
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      but can walcott cover sanchez points ?

      nahh i dont think so

  4. Hurricane Gilbert
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 3 months ago

    Why did Jagielka touch that ball. Tricked Lennon

  5. It’s gonna Ben Mee
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 3 months ago

    1-1 would be a great result. /Kosc seller and Sanchez non-captainer

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

      This. Would be great for Chelsea too 🙂 would take an Arsenal loss too

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

      You are on the ball, sir

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

        Good boy Seamus

  6. Sims
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 3 months ago

    Jeez just clear it u idiots

  7. Bleach †
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 3 months ago

    I could use more opinions:

    Is it too late to get on the Siggy train?

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

      nahh fixtures looks good for next 4. I got him for this gw

      1. Bleach †
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 3 months ago

        Brom and Boro away are quite hard imo.
        Anyway thinking Firm → Siggy, main worry is how long can he keep it up, getting those points for many games in a row now.

    2. Maarrrr17
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      I honestly don't think I will drop Siggy unless injury, I don't think its too late. He just gets involved in everything swansea do, I don't expect a haul every week but he just consistently brings in points that add up quickly.
      Id bring him in for sure.

    You can see how far behind English footballers are in terms of technical ability when Barkley is one of your up and comers

    1. Maarrrr17
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      John Stones doesn't like your attitude.

  9. Sims
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 3 months ago

    Chamberlain a pretty hopeless footballer

  10. HurriKane
    • 13 Years
    9 years, 3 months ago

    Since chelsea vs everton match

    Hazard - 1 goal in 4 matches

    Sanchez- 6 goals 2 assists in 5 matches

    Those who made the swap and refused to buy Alexis must be kicking themselves. Season changer 😉
