There's no let-up in the Festive Fixtures programme, and with a new Fantasy Premier League Gameweek getting underway on Sunday afternoon, we're on hand to help you make those vital adjustments.
West Ham United could not have picked a tougher opponent for their final fixture of 2024, as table-topping Liverpool head to east London for a 5.15pm GMT kick-off.
Liverpool have lost just once in the league all season, defeated Leicester City 3-1 on Boxing Day, and - at the time of writing - sit seven points clear at the top of the Premier League tree with a game in hand, to boot.
With that all said, Julen Lopetegui's men also come into this contest in decent form. The Hammers are unbeaten in their last four, have conceded only three goals across that span, and moved up to 13th in the table with their own Boxing Day triumph at Southampton.
It all points to an intriguing London Stadium contest - even more so as Lopetegui is likely to have to shuffle his pack with both Tomáš Souček and Guido Rodríguez suspended and Łukasz Fabiański, Maximilian Kilman and Carlos Soler all having departed the St Mary's Stadium action early due to injury.
The Gameweek 19 deadline is at 1pm GMT on Sunday 29 December, while we kick-off four-and-a-quarter hours later.
While we will be giving you FPL tips and tricks throughout the remainder of the 2024/25 season on whufc.com, see below for some of our picks for the upcoming round.

Füllkrug's time to shine?
Now could be the time to add Niclas Füllkrug (£6.7m) to your attacking arsenal.
The German international returned from a troublesome calf injury at the start of December and has gradually been increasing his influence in his appearances since.
His start at Southampton was his second in succession, and he played a pivotal role in our three-point haul on the South Coast, flicking Souček's header into Jarrod Bowen's path to assist the skipper's match-winning goal.
Having also scored from the bench at Leicester City, Fûllkrug is starting to deliver attacking returns for his Fantasy owners, and will be aiming to add to his tally against the Reds.
In midfield, meanwhile, Lucas Paquetá (£5.7m) is set to return to the starting XI on Sunday having been forced to sit out on Boxing Day due to suspension.
The Brazilian returned from his recent spell as a substitute to start in the 1-1 draw at AFC Bournemouth, and staked his claim to a regular return by netting from the spot.
As the Irons' regular penalty taker, he is always worth a slot in your Fantasy teams and will want to build on that Bournemouth momentum against Liverpool.
Opposition Watch: Liverpool
Arne Slot's Liverpool are, naturally, loaded with potent Fantasy Premier League weapons.
It is hard to look beyond Mohamed Salah (£13.5m) as the spearhead of the Reds' attack. Despite his prohibitive price, not having Salah in your side this season would almost certainly have cost you, as his return of 186 points is by some distance the best in the game.
Sixteen goals and eleven assists from 17 match involvements this term tells its own story and the Hammers will have to be at the very top of their game to stop the Egypt internatonal on Sunday afternoon.
Behind him, the ever-dependable defensive duo of Virgil van Dijk (£6.5m) and Trent Alexander-Arnold (£7.1m) have also been useful options for Fantasy managers this term.
Both have tallied 68 points in 2024/25 so far, with only three Premier League players having gained more.
Hammers fans will, of course, be hoping they are not able to add to those totals in east London on Sunday.
