The last few weeks have been good ones for fantasy football players, with plenty of users hitting the three digit mark for their weekly scores.

Who should you be bringing in or discarding like Christmas Day's stinky turkey? Here are our top picks.
Goalkeepers
Who's Hot
Thibaut Courtois - The Chelsea stopper has been consistently picking up points recently, boasting three Premier League clean sheets in a row.

Who's Not
David de Gea - While most would back Manchester United to contain Southampton's limited attacking threat, the Spaniard has still conceded five goals in his last three games.
Kasper Schmeichel - The Dane's form has been patchy this season and he scored a costly own goal in the defeat to Watford.

Defenders
Who's Hot
