Let\u2019s hope most of the matches take place this weekend. Read on to find out more about this gameweek.<\/p>\n<h2>Fantasy Premier League 2021\/22 Gameweek 21 Picks<\/h2>\n<h3>Double Gameweek<\/h3>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/football\/2021\/12\/13\/brentford-v-manchester-united-postponed-covid\/\" target=\"_self\">Brentford<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/football\/2021\/12\/22\/antonio-contes-resurgent-tottenham-secure-league-cup-semi-final\/\" target=\"_self\">West Ham United<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/football\/2021\/10\/29\/jean-luc-vasseur-everton-women-manager\/\" target=\"_self\">Everton<\/a> should play <a href=\"https:\/\/www.premierleague.com\/news\/2432706?sf252522098=1\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">twice this gameweek<\/a>. However, the Premier League has already postponed two matches this gameweek so who knows what will happen to the fixtures that are 11-12 days away.<\/p>\n<h3>Fantasy Premier League 2021\/22 Gameweek 21: Teams with Two matches<\/h3>\n<h4><b>West Ham United<\/b><\/h4>\n<p>The fixtures are quite good for the Hammers as they take on <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/football\/2021\/12\/26\/premier-league-eddie-nketiah-transfer\/\" target=\"_self\">Crystal Palace<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/football\/2021\/12\/31\/leicester-city-norwich-city-postponed\/\" target=\"_self\">Norwich City<\/a>. Both of their opponents have struggled with Covid and injuries. So, FPL managers will hope for a lot of points from West Ham players. Michail Antonio and Jarrod Bowen are possibly the two best picks. Other possible options are Vladimir Coufal, Ben Johnson and Lukasz Fabianski.<br \/>\n<b><\/b><\/p>\n<p><b>Everton<\/b><\/p>\n<p>Everton have not done well this season so be wary before picking a lot of their players. Their opponents are Brighton &amp; Hove Albion and Leicester City respectively. Dominic Calvert-Lewin, Demarai Gray, Abdoulaye Doucour\u00e9 and Michael Keane are decent punts. Everton will face Norwich City in gameweek 22 as well so maybe consider that aspect too.<\/p>\n<p><b>Brentford<\/b><\/p>\n<p>The bees face <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\/12\/05\/free-agent-willy-caballero-southampton\/\" target=\"_self\">Southampton<\/a> this gameweek. Only Ivan Toney is worth consideration as they have not been playing so well.<\/p>\n<h3>Other Things to Consider<\/h3>\n<p>In terms of single games, <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/football\/2021\/12\/24\/premier-league-transfer-news-tottenham-hotspur\/\" target=\"_self\">Tottenham Hotspur<\/a> have a great fixture at <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/football\/2021\/12\/23\/liverpool-v-leeds-united-and-wolves-v-watford-postponed-due-to-covid-19\/\" target=\"_self\">Watford<\/a>. The Hornets leak goals for fun and have conceded <a href=\"https:\/\/www.whoscored.com\/Teams\/27\/Fixtures\/England-Watford\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">15 goals<\/a> in the last five matches. Consider keeping Harry Kane and Son Heung-min.<\/p>\n<p>With a tough fixture against defensively solid Wolves, consider selling the Manchester United assets to fund the double gamers. Reece James is <a href=\"https:\/\/www.chelseafc.com\/en\/news\/2021\/12\/31\/tuchel-updates-on-james-and-chilwell\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">out\u00a0<\/a>so bringing in a West Ham defender could be good.<\/p>\n<p>Newcastle United have no fixtures this gameweek.<\/p>\n<h3>Captaincy Options<\/h3>\n<p>Michail Antonio and Jarrod Bowen are the best options for the armband.<\/p>\n<p>Main Photo<\/p>\n<p><a id=\"F7ESF_5gQlZkb6lzZ6kcPQ\" 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\/1237447408\" 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:'F7ESF_5gQlZkb6lzZ6kcPQ',sig:'QBAHr7kOcEWdmfXq_Ot1193ZP--o9r3UNqd_ay-n3-4=',w:'594px',h:'396px',items:'1237447408',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 21 kicks off on New Year&#8217;s Day.
