Gameweek 16 contains a full round of Premier League fixtures to be played over the weekend of December 21st and 22nd followed by eight games on Boxing Day (Thursday 26th December) as well as two more the day after (Friday 27th December).

Usually, Friday night games would kickstart the following Gameweek but to simplify things, the two fixtures due to take place on 27th December — Brighton v Brentford and Arsenal v Ipswich - will be included in Gameweek 16.

Simply put, all 20 teams will play twice in Gameweek 16 and just once in Gameweek 17 - this is the most important point for gaffers to bear in mind.

UPCOMING GAMEWEEK DEADLINES:

  • GAMEWEEK 16: 11am Saturday 21st December
  • GAMEWEEK 17: 1pm Sunday 29th December
  • GAMEWEEK 18: 11am Saturday 4th January
  • GAMEWEEK 19: 6:30pm Friday 10th January

The schedule is subject to change, as Dream Team bosses recently discovered when the Merseyside derby was postponed on the morning of the game, but you can always check consult the if in doubt.

You'll have other things on your mind throughout yuletide but remember to stay on top of all things Dream Team as there will be plenty of points on offer.
