It feels like every few days in December there’s a new gameweek in FPL.
Gameweek 15 is only just over, and we already have less than 48 hours to get our teams sorted for Gameweek 16. The quick turnaround also means that Premier League managers will be rotating (see Jurgen Klopp and Kostas Tsimikas).
The question is, how do you prepare for this period? <a href="https://www.squawka.com/">Squawka</a> is here to help you make the tricky decisions on who to sign, sell, or just bench.
To help find you underpriced or differential picks in Fantasy Football, Squawka created the FPL Score matrix &#8211; visit the <a href="https://www.squawka.com/en/fantasy-football/">fantasy football tips section</a> to find out more.

People have steered clear of Chelsea players recently, and with good reason. 
The Blues just haven’t been good this season, but they are about to enter a really favourable run on paper, with eight of their next nine games all given a Fixture Difficulty Rating of 2.
Everyone will be going for Cole Palmer, who has five goals and is on penalties. 
But Reece James is one to take a look at if you can afford him. Coming off the bench against Manchester United after suspension and a slight knock, James was Chelsea’s best attacking player, with an xGI of 0.17 in 45 minutes. 
Given Chelsea’s lack of options at right-back, he should be a guaranteed starter in this run. And providing he does stay fit, James should be backed to pick up some attacking returns as well as clean sheet points.

<h2>Sell: Joachim Andersen </h2>
<ul>
<li style="list-style-type: none;">
<ul>
<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1">Position: DEF</li>
<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1">Price: £5.1m</li>
<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1">Teams selected by %: 22.8</li>
<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1">Squawka FPL Score: 55%</li>
</ul>
</li>
</ul>
Bryan Mbeumo could be on your list to sell with the latest injury news, but for us Joachim Andersen is another you should probably move on. 
He’s the fourth-most-owned defender in FPL but Crystal Palace are not in good form at all. 
Across the past four gameweeks, Andersen has accumulated just five points.
 In the past seven, Palace have conceded at least two goals on five occasions, meaning Andersen hasn’t even been getting the standard two points. 
To compound the misery for Andersen owners, Palace have Liverpool next before facing Manchester City, Brighton, Chelsea, Brentford and Arsenal in their next six games. 
That run takes you up to the end of January. There’s no point holding onto him.

<h2>Bench: It might be time to cut back on Arsenal defenders</h2>
We’re going a bit different for this one, looking at a selection of players rather than just one. 
Arsenal have a tough fixture this weekend against Aston Villa at Villa Park, with Unai Emery’s side on a 19-game winning run at home in the Premier League. 
Stretching further, only Nottingham Forest have stopped Aston Villa from scoring all season, so it might be a good weekend to bench Arsenal defenders – especially if you have doubled up. 
The Gunners have William Saliba, Gabriel and Oleksandr Zinchenko in the top 10 for most-owned defenders right now, with Ben White also 11th.
