Fantasy Premier League today returns for the festive programme of fixtures.
Gameweek 17 kicks off on Boxing Day with an 11am GMT deadline before Brentford and Tottenham face off in the first Premier League game in six weeks.
FPL managers can make unlimited changes to their team before then with no price changes, meaning there is time to think over your plans.
A fairly hectic Christmas schedule is set to unfold with a number of players not yet back from their exploits at the World Cup.
Here are our squad selection tips for GW17...
Marcus Rashford- Manchester United - £6.7m
The stage is set for Rashford to enter the second half of the campaign, all guns blazing. With Cristiano Ronaldo gone and Jadon Sanhco not even in training, he will have his pick of where to play in the United frontline and games against Nottingham Forest and Wolves should provide him with ample opportunities after a fine World Cup and blistering display against Burnley.
Gabriel Martinelli - Arsenal - £6.5m
Arsenal are expected to suffer some sort of drop-off with Gabriel Jesus injured and Eddie Nketiah is an option as a cheaper, straight swap in FPL. However, Martinelli looks the better shout after a great first half of the season and a potential move into the middle if Arsenal sign Mykhaylo Mudryk.

With Erling Haaland once again a shoo-in for FPL managers, the question of whether to combine him with the expensive De Bruyne crops back up. The Belgian struggled at the World Cup but has enjoyed a good rest with his country’s early exit, with Phil Foden perhaps the best alternative if you cannot muster the fee.
Danny Ward - Leicester - £4.1m
The Foxes made quite the resurgence before the break but their defensive prowess flew under the radar. Ward has kept six clean sheets in eight games and is a bargain at that price.
Harry Kane - Tottenham - £11.6m
Avoiding World Cup players may be a reasonable tactic for the first couple of gameweeks back but Kane is a bit of a machine and will be desperate to right his wrongs when back in a Spurs shirt. That said, in three meetings with Brentford he is yet to score...
