The relentless Premier League festive period continues with yet another round starting tomorrow. Last Word On Football wishes a happy new year to all Fantasy Premier League Managers.<\/p>\n
With so many matches taking place in a very short span, rotations are inevitable. One must choose a captain who should definitely start and do well.<\/p>\n
Newcastle United<\/a> v\u00a0Manchester United<\/a> is probably the match fantasy managers are looking into the most. Since firing Mourinho, the Red Devils have won all three matches, scoring goals for fun. Paul Pogba<\/a> just can’t stop finding the net while\u00a0Marcus Rashford<\/a>, Anthony Martial<\/a>\u00a0and Jesse Lingard<\/a> are playing superbly. Even Romelu Lukaku<\/a> is scoring again. With United in this kind of form, the Toon Army will be in for a really difficult time.<\/p>\n Chelsea<\/a> will take on Southampton<\/a> in a decent looking home fixture for the Blues. However, the Saints have improved of late and rested quite a few players against Manchester City<\/a> yesterday. Chelsea played their strongest eleven and the main man,\u00a0Eden Hazard<\/a>, was out on the pitch for the whole game. Will Sarri rest Hazard? Otherwise, the Belgian is a top pick for the armband this round. David Luiz<\/a> and Marcos Alonso<\/a> are great options as well with Chelsea having back-to-back home games.<\/p>\n Despite losing at home to Wolves<\/a>, Spurs<\/a> players should be considered as top options this round. They travel to Cardiff<\/a>, which could be a tricky tie for the North Londoners. They travel well though and the likes of Harry Kane<\/a> and\u00a0Son Heung-min<\/a> will be trying to get Spurs back to winning ways.<\/p>\n Manchester City<\/a> v\u00a0Liverpool<\/a> is a massive fixture this season and with Klopp’s team seven points clear of the Cityzens, it looks like a must-win game for City. This might make this an open game. The 0-0 draw at Anfield earlier this season had different circumstances. Mohamed Salah<\/a>, Sergio Aguero<\/a>, Sadio Mane<\/a>, David Silva<\/a>\u00a0and the hat-trick hero Roberto Firmino<\/a> should be considered. Raheem Sterling<\/a> played the whole game yesterday and he has been playing a lot recently so could be a candidate for rotation. He also seems to struggle every time he takes on his former team.<\/p>\n Arsenal’s<\/a> form has dipped rapidly recently but they have a great home fixture against Fulham<\/a> this time around.\u00a0Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang<\/a> and\u00a0Alexandre Lacazette<\/a> are the go-to guys from the Gunners and one should definitely consider them. Aubameyang has played a lot and some say he could be benched but can Emery rest the Premier League’s top scorer? Arsenal<\/a> need the three points to stay in the race for top four.<\/p>\n Everton<\/a> players like Richarlison and Lucas Digne<\/a> could be considered for their home game against\u00a0Leicester. It could be a competitive game but one would expect goals in it.<\/p>\n Bournemouth<\/a> are in terrible form but they do tend to pick up home wins to keep them out of trouble. They face Watford<\/a> at the Vitality this round in a game that promises goals. If you have Callum Wilson<\/a> and Ryan Fraser<\/a>, you should consider keeping them for this round.<\/p>\n Wolves v Crystal Palace<\/a> could be a really tight game but Matt Doherty<\/a> could shine in it. A potential clean sheet and an attacking return cannot be ruled out. Palace seem to do well in these sorts of games, though.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n Main Photo<\/p>\nOther Top Contenders<\/h2>\n
