As usual, there will be fitness and other concerns over some players as they return to England from all over the world. Read on to find out more about gameweek 12.<\/p>\n<h2>Fantasy Premier League 2021\/22 Gameweek 12 Picks<\/h2>\n<h3>Quick Tips<\/h3>\n<p>Unlike the last international break, the South American players are returning much earlier this time, so there should not be many concerns over them. However, Cristian Romero got <a href=\"https:\/\/www.football.london\/tottenham-hotspur-fc\/players\/cristian-romero-tottenham-injury-leeds-22188243\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">injured<\/a> and will likely miss out on this week&#8217;s fixture. Watch out for other injury updates on the pre-match press conferences.<\/p>\n<h3>Fantasy Premier League 2021\/22 Gameweek 12: Fixtures to Target<\/h3>\n<h4><b>Tottenham Hotspur v Leeds United<\/b><\/h4>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/football\/2021\/11\/01\/final-stages-antonio-conte-tottenham-hotspur\/\" target=\"_self\">Tottenham Hotspur<\/a> got off to a shaky start under Antonio Conte with a goalless draw at <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/football\/2021\/10\/29\/jean-luc-vasseur-everton-women-manager\/\" target=\"_self\">Everton<\/a> last time out. They have an ideal home fixture against struggling <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/football\/2021\/10\/03\/xisco-munoz-watford\/\" target=\"_self\">Leeds United<\/a> this week. Harry Kane had a productive couple of games for England as he scored an astonishing seven goals in those matches. Of course, consider the opposition but still, it should provide him with confidence as he looks to get back to scoring goals in the Premier League.<\/p>\n<p>Son Heung-min also <a href=\"https:\/\/www.whoscored.com\/Matches\/1560317\/Live\/International-FIFA-World-Cup-2019-2022-Iraq-South-Korea\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">scored against Iraq<\/a> and FPL managers will hope for better things from him as well. Sergio Reguil\u00f3n and Emerson Royal went forward quite a lot against Everton. In fact, Reguil\u00f3n wasted a big chance to score. So, these two should attract FPL managers as Spurs have comfortable looking fixtures coming up.\u00a0 On the other hand, Leeds United have<a href=\"https:\/\/www.leeds-live.co.uk\/sport\/leeds-united\/leeds-united-injury-list-return-22180751\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"> many players out\u00a0<\/a>at the moment and will hope to have one or two return this week.<\/p>\n<h4><b>Manchester City v Everton<\/b><\/h4>\n<p>Champions <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/football\/2021\/10\/31\/crystal-palace-manchester-city\/\" target=\"_self\">Manchester City<\/a> face Everton in a match they are expected to win easily. Everton are without a win in five, having conceded nine goals in those matches. Consider the likes of Phil Foden, Bernardo Silva, Jo\u00e3o Cancelo and Gabriel Jesus. City have a brilliant record against the toffees <a href=\"https:\/\/www.whoscored.com\/Matches\/1549653\/Show\/England-Premier-League-2021-2022-Manchester-City-Everton\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">with six wins out of the last six<\/a> against them. Andros Townsend scored a memorable goal for Crystal Palace at the Etihad a few years ago, though.<\/p>\n<h4><b>Watford v Manchester United<\/b><\/h4>\n<p>Despite <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/football\/2021\/11\/09\/manchester-united-striker-edinson-cavani-injury\/\" target=\"_self\">Manchester United<\/a>&#8216;s poor form of late, Cristiano Ronaldo remains a major threat in front of goal. He should get plenty of chances against <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/football\/2021\/11\/17\/watford-midfielder-ozan-tufan-injured\/\" target=\"_self\">Watford<\/a> and is a captaincy option as well. However, think twice before bringing anyone from the Red Devils as they face <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/football\/2021\/11\/16\/chelsea-women-sam-kerr-contract\/\" target=\"_self\">Chelsea<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/football\/2021\/11\/12\/arsenal-interested-juventus-forward-dejan-kulusevski\/\" target=\"_self\">Arsenal<\/a> after this week.<\/p>\n<div>\n<h3>Fantasy Premier League 2021\/22 Gameweek 12: Things to Consider<\/h3>\n<\/div>\n<p>Three new managers will be making their dugout debuts for their new clubs this week. <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/football\/2021\/11\/11\/steven-gerrard-becomes-aston-villa-head-coach\/\" target=\"_self\">Steven Gerrard<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/football\/2021\/11\/08\/newcastle-united-eddie-howe\/\" target=\"_self\">Eddie Howe<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/football\/2021\/11\/15\/norwich-city-appoint-dean-smith\/\" target=\"_self\">Dean Smith<\/a> will hope the new manager bounce is in full effect.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/football\/2021\/11\/08\/eddie-howe-is-the-best-manager-newcastle-united-could-appoint\/\" target=\"_self\">Newcastle United<\/a> need the three points badly but <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/football\/2021\/10\/20\/favourable-run-of-fixtures-should-see-rise-in-selection-of-brentfords-fpl-assets\/\" target=\"_self\">Brentford<\/a> have the players to hurt them despite being in poor form. It will be interesting to see how Eddie Howe will line up in his first game in charge. On the other hand, the Bees have lost four in a row but they will target this fixture to break that run.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/football\/2021\/10\/28\/premier-league-predictions-unbeaten-liverpool-host-brighton-arsenal-travel-to-leicester-city-and-more\/\" target=\"_self\">Liverpool<\/a> have a few players with fitness concerns ahead of the big game against Arsenal this Saturday. Roberto Firmino is definitely out and there are concerns over Andrew Robertson, Jordan Henderson, James Milner, Naby Keita and Joe Gomez. The Gunners are unbeaten in their last eight games but Liverpool should win here.<\/p>\n<p>All the other games this week look tight to call.<\/p>\n<h3>Captaincy Options<\/h3>\n<div class=\"code-block code-block-24\">\n<div>Mohamed Salah remains a great option for the armband despite a tough fixture.
