The FPL General is back with another round of FPL tips, providing five must-have players for your teams ahead of December’s fixture pileup.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The festive period is always a crunch time for Fantasy Premier League<\/a> (FPL) managers, with teams often playing six or more games in just a few weeks.<\/p>\n

Navigating this intense schedule requires a mix of reliability, form, and favourable fixtures. Here are five must-have players to help you maximise your points haul during December’s fixture congestion.<\/p>\n

FPL December Tips \u2013 5 Must-Haves for the Festive Fixture Pileup<\/h2>\n

1. Mohamed Salah \u2013 Liverpool<\/h3>\n

Liverpool\u2019s talisman is having his best-ever start to an FPL season, amassing an impressive 133 points after just 13 gameweeks.<\/p>\n

Salah has been involved in almost everything good for Liverpool this campaign, and with penalties in his locker, he remains one of the most reliable captaincy options.<\/p>\n

Regardless of the opposition, Salah\u2019s combination of form, fitness, and fixture-proof ability makes him indispensable during this busy period.<\/p>\n

2. Cole Palmer \u2013 Chelsea<\/h3>\n

Chelsea have had a sensational start to the season under Enzo Maresca \u2013 and Cole Palmer is at the heart of it.<\/p>\n

Palmer offers set-piece duties, penalty-taking responsibilities, and a general goal threat, making him a top captaincy pick for the midweek clash against Southampton. Chelsea\u2019s favourable fixtures until January further enhance his appeal.<\/p>\n

3. Bukayo Saka \u2013 Arsenal<\/h3>\n

Bukayo Saka is delivering elite numbers this season, with 16 attacking returns in just 12 appearances (5 goals and 11 assists).<\/p>\n

Arsenal\u2019s upcoming fixtures look promising, and Saka\u2019s dual-threat as a creator and scorer makes him a prime target. His consistency and knack for delivering in high-pressure situations are exactly what FPL managers need in the thick of the December fixture pileup.<\/p>\n

4. Gabriel Magalh\u00e3es \u2013 Arsenal<\/h3>\n

In a period notorious for rotation, Gabriel Magalh\u00e3es stands out as a defender who is both nailed on and dangerous at set-pieces. His third goal of the campaign at the weekend underlines his attacking threat.<\/p>\n

As a centre-back, he\u2019s less likely to be rotated, making him a great pick for managers seeking a reliable and goal-scoring defender during the fixture crunch.<\/p>\n

5. Matheus Cunha \u2013 Wolves<\/h3>\n

For FPL managers searching for value up front, Matheus Cunha is a standout pick. The Brazilian has already scored seven goals this season and is a consistent threat with his responsibilities for corners and penalties.<\/p>\n

Wolves\u2019 next four fixtures are particularly enticing, offering Cunha a prime opportunity to deliver more attacking returns. At his price point, he\u2019s a risk worth taking.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
