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

    How is my ML rival so frustrating bad and so f- lucky. He has Matip and Hazard injured, Fer and Iheanacho not playing, and WALKER benched. He also has MCARTHUR who's scored, because having Allen-Fer-Nacho-Defoe wasn't budget enough..? So he's getting Arthur's goal plus 2 clean sheets and 2 assists off the bench, plus 2 for Allen. That's not 'squad depth'...it's just a bad team. And it keeps beating me.

    1. hotunderthekolarov
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      If it keeps beating you it sounds like a good team surely?

      1. Postman Ty
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        No, actually, my team has been very respectable on paper all season. Standard good picks around here. He's been getting Fer goals, McArthur points, always sub points off the bench, typical bull crap. Anyone on here would laugh at his team and decisions all season. He's captained keepers before. Double-up on mid priced keepers. Benching Walker this week says it all...

        1. hotunderthekolarov
          • 12 Years
          9 years, 1 month ago

          Well at least you must be smashing him in the "on paper" league then so it's not all bad?

          Plus you get to laugh at his decisions when they work out better than yours as well so that's a bonus!

    2. hotunderthekolarov
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Or your team is even worse than a bad team? Either way you don't come out of it looking too great
