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.

    The 'wingbacks' goal. Beautiful.

    1. Bellerinmondo

    Kos has been useless

  21. Pino

    And I sold Coleman for Alderweireld. 🙁

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

      That is really unfortunate. Toby is a keeper though

    2. FPL Blow-In

      I woud have probably benched Coleman anyway, but still feel bad now. My teams name is Bad Luck so it fits. Out of 16 GWs I have captained the right player only 4 times. Missed on Sanchez and Aguero when they scored big, missed on Costa 🙁

  22. TheTinman
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 3 months ago

    Arsenal very poor

  23. Greenbackbøøg…
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 3 months ago

    No clean sheets in the last 7 for Arsenal lol

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

    Just how many times does chamberlain give the ball away. Ridiculous

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

      Thats what British players do best.
      No matter why they are so overrated

  25. youknowho
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 3 months ago

    Heaton, Pick
    Alonso, Morgan, Holebas, amat, love
    Sanchez, Hazard, Payet, Siggy, Capoue
    Kane, Defoe, Origi
    1FT, 1.1ITB
    Somehow i feel i should have chosen Costa over Hazard.
    Save next gameweek and then do Hazard,Origi > Lallana,Costa
    Seems good? Any suggestions please?

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

      I suggest you watch the telly.

  28. Winks Club

    How does the BP-system work in terms of interceptions and other defensive merits? For example Koscielny's brilliant playing in the 1st half: is he likely to get BAPS?

    1. Wilshere Knowledge
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      Check the rules.

    Hanging onto Firmino worth it for Everto? Disappointing through Sun Bou and Wham fixtures.
