Fantasy managers are treated to the remaining eight matches of Gameweek 16 this Wednesday evening, with a trio of
encounters getting underway at 7.45pm.

Sadio Mane and Divock Origi are the form men as Liverpool look for a first win in three at the Riverside. Roberto Firmino arrives on the back of four straight blanks and was second only to Charlie Austin for transfers out in the Gameweek.

With Eden Hazard absent, the stage is set for Diego Costa as Chelsea visit Sunderland. The Blues frontman was the most captained player in Fantasy Premier League for Gameweek 16, with 23% handing him the armband.

West Ham embark on the first of three very favourable fixtures, with Dimitri Payet and Michail Antonio on our radars for the visit of Burnley.

In the 8pm matches, all eyes will be on Captain Poll winner Harry Kane as Spurs welcome Hull to White Hart Lane. We’ll also be monitoring Scout Picks duo Toby Alderweireld and Christian Eriksen against the struggling Tigers.

In-form pair Christian Benteke and Zlatan Ibrahimovic go head-to-head as Palace welcome United to Selhurst Park. With returns in six of the last seven, Wilfried Zaha was the most transferred in player for Gameweek 16.

With Sergio Aguero suspended, faith in Man City has dwindled ahead of what should be a plum home clash against Watford. Kevin De Bruyne is the man most likely as the Etihad side look to recover from back-to-back defeats.

We’re also keeping a keen eye on Differential Sofiane Boufal as Southampton head to Stoke. Having bagged the winner at home to ‘Boro, the Moroccan could be set to step up in the absence of Charlie Austin, promoting his prospects as a mid-price midfield candidate ahead of some fine fixtures.

West Brom have their work cut out to stop Gylfi Sigurdsson as Swansea make their way to the Hawthorns.

The Swans’ playmaker has racked up four goals and as many assists in eight appearances under Bob Bradley and faces a defence with one clean sheet in the last 12 Gameweeks.

Matt Phillips and Salomon Rondon also have the chance to maintain momentum tonight – Swansea have conceded 12 goals in four road trips since their new manager was installed.

Paul Is certain he won't make the same mistakes next season. Follow them on Twitter

        😆

        Good, would be a waste of a triple captain otherwise. 😉

    Wanted to do Lovren ➡ P.Jones this week.
    But losing Nacho is my prio for now, I guess...

    Nacho ➡ Defoe / Benteke? Or the former one?

    1. Slippy
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      what do you mean or the former one?
      people on this site use former and latter really excessively and inappropriately

      1. LewanGOALski
        • 14 Years
        9 years, 3 months ago

        I meant Lovren ➡ P.Jones

          Should have done it last night imo;) rise and a fall!

          I'd still do it though

        2. Slippy
          • 9 Years
          9 years, 3 months ago

          ohh. probably get rid of nacho. lovren might get a cleanie tonight anyway.

    What should I do with Cedric?

    1. Valencia's Left Foot
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years

      Apparently it's "illness".. hoping he's a bit under the weather and will be back at the weekend. Growing frustrated by him though.

      Wait for Soton presser.

    3. Yome
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      Sell him, cuco could well keep his spot

  5. Albrightondknight
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 3 months ago

    Signs of life from Firmino come on.

  6. Lizard Lips
    • 13 Years
    9 years, 3 months ago

    ML leader has Ibra captain. United should be down to 10 and Zlatan handballs to an offside Pogba for an assist. Not a good week this one.

  7. Kaneyonero
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 3 months ago

    Now I can say captain fail

    1. Numb
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      Unless you captained Heaton

  8. Greenbackbøøg…
    • 11 Years

    Boro looking weak at the back

  9. dark91
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 3 months ago

    Costa won't get a yellow, he will get a straight red for punching this terrible referee in the face

      • 11 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      I would be happy to take the minus points and suspension to see that happen

  10. Alnair
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 3 months ago

    Firmino actually looks great now, unlucky to have not gotten an assist or two.

  11. Matamatics
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    One of my players please do something

  12. La Roja

  15. Arteta
    • 10 Years

  16. El-Kloppico
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 3 months ago

    Lallana assist = Origi Goal

  17. Licky
    • 13 Years

    • 10 Years

    origi goal

  21. Bubz
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 3 months ago

    Going Nacho over Origi was good

  22. Hybrid.power
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    Damnit

  23. AndyCook

      1. jurgenklopp.8
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 3 months ago

        awful

    • Venom Snake
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      I knew. I bloody knew to get Origi instead of Nacho

    • Smarty Pants
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      Larsson almost

    • Tansey
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      The Dembele Theory strikes again

    • Kaneyonero
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      Should've got Lallana

    • Lizard Lips
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      Spurs were lacklustre first half. Vertonghen nearly landed the jackpot for me tho!

    • Yome
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      Lallana assist

    • Az
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
