Read on to find out more about the upcoming gameweek.<\/p>\n<h2>Fantasy Premier League 2021\/22 Gameweek 15 Picks<\/h2>\n<h3>Quick Tips<\/h3>\n<p>Many regular starters (Christian Benteke) were benched on gameweek 14 with some not even making the matchday squads (Reece James, Ilkay G\u00fcndogan). With so many matches taking place this month, it won&#8217;t always be possible to get the team news before the FPL deadlines. Hence, having two or three starters on your bench is essential. Check out this article to learn more about how to plan your<a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/football\/2021\/11\/28\/fantasy-premier-league-strategy-for-december\/\" target=\"_self\"> FPL team for December<\/a>.<\/p>\n<h3>Fantasy Premier League 2021\/22 Gameweek 15: Fixtures to Target<\/h3>\n<h4><b>Wolverhampton Wanderers v Liverpool<\/b><\/h4>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/football\/2021\/12\/02\/liverpool-are-finally-reaping-the-rewards-of-squad-rotation\/\" target=\"_self\">Liverpool<\/a> are in sublime form and have <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theguardian.com\/football\/premierleague\/table\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">scored the most goals this season<\/a> so far by a distance. Their defence is also not bad, having conceded 12 goals so far. Interestingly, <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/football\/2021\/08\/31\/wolves-transfer-news-renato-sanches-deal-unlikely-sven-botman-duje-caleta-car-not-options\/\" target=\"_self\">Wolves<\/a> have also conceded the same number of goals but they have scored only 12 themselves. If the trend continues and Liverpool try to blast their opponents in the first 25 minutes, expect a frenetic start at Molineux. Mohamed Salah, Trent Alexander-Arnold, Diogo Jota and Sadio Man\u00e9 are all great options.<\/p>\n<h4><b>Watford v Manchester City<\/b><\/h4>\n<p>Defending champions <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/football\/2021\/11\/26\/manchester-city-forward-ferran-torres-future\/\" target=\"_self\">Manchester City<\/a> are struggling somewhat with injuries. In some of the recent games, Pep Guardiola named two goalkeepers on the bench just to make up the numbers. John Stones, Kyle Walker and Ilkay G\u00fcndogan weren&#8217;t involved on Wednesday and their starting status remains unclear. Kevin De Bruyne, Phil Foden and Jack Grealish should make the matchday squad. Aymeric Laporte is back from suspension. City should have enough to win this game but it may not be an easy one. Bernardo Silva and Jo\u00e3o Cancelo are probably the best options from this game.<\/p>\n<h4><b>Tottenham Hotspur v Norwich City<\/b><\/h4>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/football\/2021\/12\/01\/antonio-conte-needs-tottenham-response\/\" target=\"_self\">Spurs<\/a> got a nice home win against <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> on Thursday night and will hope to get another three points in this game. <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/football\/2021\/11\/15\/norwich-city-appoint-dean-smith\/\" target=\"_self\">Norwich<\/a> are doing quite well of late and are unbeaten in four. Harry Kane, Son Heung-min and Sergio Reguil\u00f3n should do well. Consider Emerson Royale as well as he got two bonus points in the last match.<\/p>\n<div>\n<h3>Fantasy Premier League 2021\/22 Gameweek 15: Things to Consider<\/h3>\n<\/div>\n<p>After a ten-match unbeaten run, <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/football\/2021\/12\/01\/eddie-nketiah-rejects-contract-arsenal\/\" target=\"_self\">Arsenal<\/a> have entered a bit of a rocky patch now with two away defeats against two big sides. They now travel to struggling Everton who might target this game to get back on track. The Gunners have <a href=\"https:\/\/www.11v11.com\/teams\/everton\/tab\/opposingTeams\/opposition\/Arsenal\/\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">only won once<\/a> in the last five encounters against the Toffees. So, expect a tight game despite Everton&#8217;s recent poor form.<\/p>\n<p>The midlands derby between <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/football\/2021\/11\/11\/steven-gerrard-becomes-aston-villa-head-coach\/\" target=\"_self\">Aston Villa<\/a> and <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\">Leicester City<\/a> has all the makings of an entertaining game. The Foxes have not done well defensively this season, having conceded 25 goals. \u00c7aglar S\u00f6y\u00fcnc\u00fc is not playing well and Ollie Watkins could profit from that. Jamie Vardy played the whole game against <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/football\/2021\/10\/26\/watford-without-emmanuel-dennis\/\" target=\"_self\">Southampton<\/a>. Will he be able to start this game? James Maddison has had a decent couple of games and could play a key role.<\/p>\n<p>It will be interesting to see how Cristiano Ronaldo does under\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/football\/2021\/11\/25\/ralf-rangnick-manchester-united\/\" target=\"_self\">new interim manager<\/a> Ralf Rangnick on his first game in charge.<\/p>\n<h3>Captaincy Options<\/h3>\n<p>It&#8217;s between Mohamed Salah and either of the two Spurs stalwarts this week. However, it is quite tough to not captain Salah on current form.<\/p>\n<p>Main Photo<\/p>\n<p><a id=\"1DevxDG5Qr5g70sIr7_Uhw\" class=\"gie-single\" style=\"color: #a7a7a7; text-decoration: none; font-weight: normal !important; border: none; display: inline-block;\" href=\"http:\/\/www.gettyimages.co.uk\/detail\/1356865944\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Embed from Getty Images<\/a><script>window.gie=window.gie||function(c){(gie.q=gie.q||[]).push(c)};gie(function(){gie.widgets.load({id:'1DevxDG5Qr5g70sIr7_Uhw',sig:'o1DN4QKtjW3jLgw_NldQSVFGsEJUwFzGiLFScZmM3YA=',w:'594px',h:'423px',items:'1356865944',caption: true ,tld:'co.uk',is360: false })});<\/script><script src='\/\/embed-cdn.gettyimages.com\/widgets.js' charset='utf-8' async><\/script><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Fantasy Premier League 2021\/22 gameweek 15 starts on Saturday, December 4 as the plethora of Premier League action continues.
