Premier League fantasy football: 5 players you need to pick for your team in December
Premier League games come thick and fast in December — so you need to make sure you use your next batch of transfers wisely.
You can make three new switches to your Dream Team this Friday (Dec 6), so why not consider this merry bunch?

Dele Alli (£3.2m)
Dele’s enjoying a new lease of life under Jose Mourinho, having netted four goals in four matches since the Special One took over at Spurs.
The midfielder also bagged an assist in the win over West Ham, as well as a Man of the Match award against Bournemouth.
In total, he’s picked up 39 points in the last two Game Weeks.
There’s just no stopping him right now, so why not jump on the Alli hype train as Spurs take on Burnley, Bayern, Wolves, Chelsea, Brighton and Norwich in their upcoming games?
Marcus Rashford (£4.1m)
Another young England international in blistering form right now is Rashford.
The Man United forward hit two against Spurs on Wednesday to bring his Premier League total to nine goals so far, while his haul of 119 points is the fourth-best on Dream Team at the time of writing.
Rashy has especially proven to be a big game player since he made his debut in 2016, so all eyes will be on him when United travel to City at the weekend.

Gabriel Jesus (£4m)
Sergio Aguero will definitely miss this weekend’s Manchester derby, but will he back for the following games?
The chances look good for the striker, although you can never tell how quickly he’ll come back to full fitness.
In the meantime, Jesus has been filling in the void in attack and ended a wait of nine matches with a goal with his brace at Burnley on Wednesday.
Could this be the start of a fruitful month for the Brazilian?
Matt Doherty (£3.4m)
Wolves’ marauding right-back was a Dream Team favourite last season when he became a rich source of points in comparison to his bargain price.
But an injury-hit start to this campaign made him a somewhat frustrating option and his stock fell slightly, with just 3.2% of fantasy football managers picking him at the moment.
He’s found form and fitness in recent weeks however; bagging 27 points over the last two Game Weeks — with goal-scoring performances against Braga and Sheffield United — so it might be time to bring the Irishman back in from the cold for the busy festive period.
Reece James (£2.1m)
Another exciting option for your defence is this Chelsea wonderkid.
Much like Doherty, James excels in attack as well as defence and has a goal and an assist to his name in recent weeks, often operating further up the pitch than the average full-back.
Having started the season as a rotation option in the squad after an impressive season-long loan at Wigan, his recent run in the Blues’ starting line-up proves he’s won over the trust of Frank Lampard, and he could be a fantastic bargain option for your Dream Team in the coming games.
