The Premier League season is about to hit its most hectic period, meaning there are plenty of points on offer in FPL.
Christmas time in the Premier League is brutal, and while the big day is still over a month away (no mad dash to the shopping centre needed just yet) the seasonal football period goes into overdrive much sooner.
With that in mind, FPL managers are going to be on the lookout for players hitting festive form, to help them mop up points at a chaotic time of year &#8211; and one traditionally riddled with rotation.
Read on for four such suggestions from <a href="https://www.squawka.com/">Squawka</a>, with this quartet beginning to heat up for the cold weather just when their teams (and yours) need them most.

<h2>1. Evanilson (£5.9m) &#8211; Bournemouth</h2>
Points: 45
Form: 7.7
Evanilson scored just one goal in his first seven Premier League games for Bournemouth following his move from Porto to replace Dominic Solanke. 
However, there were plenty of early signs that he could become a lethal striker for Bournemouth. The Brazil international now appears to be turning ‘signs’ into substance, with a goal in each of his last three appearances. 
The Cherries lost 3-2 to Brentford last time out, but Evanilson&#8217;s previous two goals helped them draw 1-1 with Aston Villa and beat defending Premier League champions Manchester City 2-1. 
Evanilson is currently sixth among all players when it comes to FPL&#8217;s &#8216;form&#8217; metric. Yet he&#8217;s still only selected in 1.7% of teams. 
Bournemouth do have fixtures against Brighton and Spurs coming up, but they&#8217;re both at home, while they also face Wolves (a), Ipswich (a) and West Ham (h) within their next five.

<h2>2. Bruno Fernandes (£8.4m) &#8211; Manchester United</h2>
Points: 50
Form: 9.7
Bruno Fernandes is one of the few players above Evanlison in FPL&#8217;s form metric right now on 9.7. 
Only Mohamed Salah (11.0) scores higher, but that&#8217;s not exactly an upturn for the Egyptian, is it?
It&#8217;s certainly an upturn for Fernandes, however. The Portugal international suffered a miserable start to the season, with no goals and just two assists in his first nine Premier League appearances. 
Maybe it was something to do with Erik ten Hag but in the two games since the Dutchman&#8217;s departure, Fernandes has registered two goals and an assist, helping United to a 1-1 draw against Chelsea and a 3-0 thrashing of Leicester. 
Fernandes has also hit two goals and an assist in Europa League and EFL Cup play combined during that time, so he certainly enjoyed something about Ruud van Nistelrooy&#8217;s interim spell in charge. 
The Ruben Amorim era begins this weekend and given the pair’s shared Portuguese and Sporting background, this may be where Fernandes kicks back into gear for United.

<h2>3. Lewis Hall (£4.4m) &#8211; Newcastle United</h2>
Points: 32
Form: 4.7
Lewis Hall is currently sixth on FPL&#8217;s list of in-form defenders, but things could be about to get a whole lot better.
The 20-year-old returns to club duty this weekend following on from picking up his first two senior caps for England, which should serve as a huge confidence boost. 
What&#8217;s more, Newcastle&#8217;s next five fixtures include West Ham (h), Crystal Palace (a), Brentford (a) and Leicester (h), while even their clash against Liverpool is at St. James&#8217; Park. 
Hall has put in some stellar defensive performances in recent weeks, including a goal line clearance against Arsenal and an assist against former club Chelsea. 
As a collective, Newcastle have four clean sheets in their last six games in all competitions. In the league since October, only Liverpool and Arsenal can boast better non-penalty xG conceded records than the Magpies (5.08).

<h2>4. Pedro Neto (£6.2m) &#8211; Chelsea</h2>
Points: 25
Form: 5.3 
Some Chelsea fans were probably starting to worry a little when Pedro Neto returned just one assist in his first eight Premier League games for the club. 
After all, he was the most expensive addition in what was another lavish summer of spending at Stamford Bridge. 
But now Neto is hitting his stride. The Portugal international has started Chelsea&#8217;s last three Premier League games, registering an assist in a 2-1 win over Newcastle and, last time out, finally finding the net himself to earn a 1-1 draw against Arsenal. 
Neto has been extremely productive in cup competitions as well, so there&#8217;s certainly no shortage of confidence on his part. But with only 1.1% of FPL players selecting him, this could be the perfect time to swoop.
