    I probably could have just put this in the General chat, but remembered that Prodston started a separate thread last year. Anyway, TV selections for December are out and what's noticeable is that Leicester, Man City, Sunderland, and Liverpool all have more than 48 hours between between GW18 and 19. So we may see less rotation then

    This is what we call commitment :D!

    Man City, Liverpool & Leicester are very interesting. Hopefully Klopp turn 'Pool into a full attack side :).

    There's a hot topic on FFS about bench fodder fixtures over the holiday period (when you're likely to need them): http://www.fantasyfootballscout.co.uk/2015/11/10/lineup-lessons-gameweek-12-part-one/?hc_page=16#hc_comment_11819085

    Right now, I'm leaning towards Payet to Gosling but am also not opposed to upgrading Gosling back to a strong front 8 for this period. I may even put my 4th defender regularly as first sub since Dawson and Moreno both have nice fixtures

    Whatever about Ali, looking at those fixtures I'm glad I have Kane in my team, he could be a default captain over Xmas.

    It'd be a brave man not to captain Kun at home to Sunderland on St. Stephen's Day and an Arsenal player at home to Bournemouth on 28 Dec

    Pfft. "Never captain Lukaku " is soon to be replaced by "never captain Kun" if you ask me.

    Think I'm gonna bank my transfer this week or next week, and have two for the 28th/29th. Take a couple of gambles when it becomes likely who will play and miss out for that week. I'm pretty sure it was carnage last year too. Possibly punt on Theo!

    Anyone else tempted by a WBA defence double up? Their fixtures loosen up from this week:

    BOU, swa, NEW, STO, che, sou, AVL, SWA, new.

    Absolutely. Sagna and Bertrand out for two WBA defenders and for a -4.

    Not getting the love for WBA, Palace next 4 are easier as all their opponents are failing to fire.

    Palace conceded against Newcastle and Sunderland at home, which would have been classed as easy fixtures. Even though I have Souare, I never trust them to keep a clean sheet.

    Palace have conceded 4 in their last 6 matches whereas WBA have conceded 10 with the fixtures being fairly similar.

    Pulis ball knows no logic or science.

    Last season they went on a bad run of conceding in "easier" games in the second half of the season. I gave up on Myhill and got Mignolet in as my second keeper. WBA promptly kept clean sheets against a string of top side with Myhill cleaning up save points and saving a penalty. All from my bench of course.

    With Pulis ball you are all in, or not in at all.

    Every one ready for the carnage that tomorrow usually brings...? :pac:

    I'm scared with captaining Theo. Really hope he isn't rested. Oxlade-Chamberlain could take his spot...

    I do have that same fear but surely campbell would be more likely to drop out. My initial thought weeks ago when I said walcott c gw 19 was that sanchez would be back and that theo wouldnt play against southampton and then would replace giroud up top for the bournemouth game. I dont currently have the armband on theo as Ive a triple arsenal midfield but that could change.
