The deadline is at at 11:00 on the 26th of December. To help FPL managers with their decisions we take a look at the teams with the best fixtures in Gameweek 17.

We have sorted the Fixture Ticker by difficulty and the four teams that sit top are Man United, Crystal Palace, Chelsea and Arsenal. We take a look at the teams with the best fixtures in Gameweek 17.
Man United
Manchester United are top of the FFScout Fixture Ticker for Gameweek 17. They host Nottingham Forest at 8pm on the day after Boxing Day. This will be United’s first Premier League match without Cristiano Ronaldo who left the club by mutual consent during the World Cup. Man United have one five, drawn one and lost only once at home so far this season.
Manchester United assets are proving to be popular transfers in during the unlimited transfer window. The likes of Luke Shaw, Diogo Dalot and Marcus Rashford are all popular transfers in ahead of this fixture.
Chelsea
Second on the Fixture Ticker for Gameweek 17 are Chelsea. They host Bournemouth at Stamford Bridge.
Chelsea have struggled in recent gameweeks. The Blue’s have lost their last three Premier League matches. However, they have won three, drawn two and lost just one of their home matches so far this season.
If the likes of Reece James and Kepa are fit for Gameweek 17 they will likely be popular picks with FPL managers.
Crystal Palace
Crystal Palace sit third on the Fixture Ticker for Gameweek 17. They host Fulham as part of a London derby.
Ahead of the World Cup, Palace were in mixed form with two wins and two defeats in their last four. Wilfried Zaha was a popular pick for FPL assets ahead of the World Cup, however his missed penalty in Gameweek 16 has seen him sold by many FPL managers.
Arsenal
Arsenal are fourth on the Fixture Ticker for Gameweek 17. They host West Ham in a London derby.
Arsenal will be without forward Gabriel Jesus after he picked up an injury whilst at the World Cup with Brazil. Jesus needs surgery to repair the injury.
Arsenal have won seven of their last eight Premier League matches. They picked up a draw in the other match against Southampton.
