Gameweek 15 was only completed on Wednesday night but Gameweek 16 is already almost upon us. This article tries to help you plan your squad before the deadline of 08 December, 11:30.<\/p>\n
With so many matches to be played in such a short period of time, rotation is the order of the day among the Premier League managers. Team news is also in short supply and most of the time there are unmentioned injuries. So, it is quite challenging to manage this festive\u00a0period. There are some players immune to this rotation because of their importance and fitness but most of the players will be rotated. Let’s just take a deep breath and hope for the best.<\/p>\n
The previous template of owning Eden Hazard<\/a>, Mohamed Salah<\/a> and Sergio Aguero<\/a> has already been shattered by the emergence of Raheem Sterling<\/a>, Harry Kane<\/a> and Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang<\/a>. This makes things interesting with many different combinations emerging.<\/p>\n The standout\u00a0fixture of this round from a fantasy perspective is definitely Arsenal<\/a> v\u00a0Huddersfield<\/a>. The obvious temptation would definitely be to buy Aubameyang if you don’t already have him and then captain him. The Gabonese is the top scorer right now in the league and has been in fine form of late as well. However, he played 90 minutes in two tough games against Spurs<\/a> and Manchester United<\/a>. Alexandre Lacazette<\/a>, on the other hand, was on the bench for both of these matches. Before getting injured, Lacazette and Aubameyang were starting together with the Frenchman playing upfront and Auba\u00a0deployed in a wide position. Against United, Lacazette was brought on and Aubameyang was moved out wide. With Mesut \u00d6zil<\/a> out of favour\u00a0and\u00a0Aaron Ramsey<\/a> getting a knock, Emery might decide to play the pair together against Huddersfield. There is also a chance of him deciding to bench\u00a0Auba\u00a0as he has played two tough matches in a row. Lacazette is probably the better pick for this week.<\/p>\n Another strong contender for the armband is Raheem Sterling<\/a>. He was rested against Watford<\/a> and should start against Chelsea<\/a>. One might consider this game at Stamford Bridge to be a tough game Manchester City<\/a> could win this one quite easily. Chelsea have looked out of sorts and lost to Wolves last night. Chelsea fans must be fearing this fixture. From this match, David Silva<\/a> could also be considered.\u00a0Leroy San\u00e9<\/a> might get benched as he played the whole game at Vicarage Road. It all depends on the fitness levels though so Pep might just start his strongest team.<\/p>\n Harry Kane<\/a> is also a good choice this week as your captain. He is in fine form and could score in any game. Leicester<\/a> away could be tricky, though.<\/p>\n Mohamed Salah<\/a> also is a decent shout even though Liverpool<\/a> have a tough looking away fixture at Bournemouth<\/a>. Klopp rested most of his players against Burnley in preparation for this match. This could be a really exciting game with goals for both teams.<\/p>\n Richarlison\u00a0at home to Watford could be a good pick. Marco Silva has started him in every possible Premier League match so far and the young Brazillian might continue that trend this week. From this game,\u00a0Lucas Digne<\/a> and\u00a0Gylfi Sigurdsson<\/a> are worth considering as well.<\/p>\n West Ham<\/a> have a good looking home fixture against Crystal Palace<\/a> this weekend. With Marko Arnautovic<\/a> injured, one might look at\u00a0Felipe Anderson<\/a>.\u00a0Lucas P\u00e9rez<\/a> came on and scored a brace so he might get a rare start. One might consider him also. Another Hammer to consider is Robert Snodgrass<\/a> who also had a good game and should keep his place in the side. The obvious candidate from West Ham is\u00a0Lukasz Fabianski<\/a> in goal. Palace, though,\u00a0are no pushovers and this is a London derby.<\/p>\n Callum Wilson<\/a> and Ryan Fraser<\/a> are both in good form. Despite having a very difficult game against Liverpool, they still could do well.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Main Photo<\/p>\n <\/p>\nWhich Arsenal Forward?<\/h3>\n
