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.

  6. Black Panther
    • 11 Years

    It doesn't affect my team but FPL have made another mistake with assists, Phillips should have 2 and Brunt 1, it's currently the opposite.

    1. Az
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 16 Years

      I heard two from Brunt on Sky Sports

    2. Lawrø
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      No I think that's correct?

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

        I've seen all three goals and own Phillips and Brunt so no bias or anything! 😉

    3. The Bandit
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      Nope

    4. Black Panther
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      I watched the game. Phillips free kick headed in for 1st goal, Phillips left sided cross headed in 2nd goal, brunt cross 3rd goal.

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

        You're a little off, Phillips passed to Brunt who crossed it to Rondon

        1. Stupendous
          • 13 Years
          9 years, 3 months ago

          Yup I felt the Eriksen captaincy and left it there since Sunday.

          Bout time my defenders did summat too.

          Cheers. Big rise.

    15. President Giggs
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      59, which I think is a very decent score. No Lallana or Eriksen, lots of players chipping in with 6-9.

    3. hafakilo

      agreed

  11. hannesdela
    • 14 Years
    9 years, 3 months ago

    So glad I brought Eriksen and Origi in and overlooked Kane in the process. Just a shame I made Costa captain.

  12. Sp0rting
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 3 months ago

    Anyone got the bap predictions?

    I'm SO lazy

  13. 1569Tippins
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    9 years, 3 months ago

    No Hazard or Iheanacho... Capoue and Holebas off the bench for 2pts

    Auto-sub bench players never seem to deliver for the best managers... just the lucky ones!

  14. Iceball
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member

  15. Coaly
    • 13 Years
    9 years, 3 months ago

    2FT:
    a) Walcott to Eriksen
    b) Walcott Mane to Sanchez Phillips/Zaha (or Lallana for -4 with downgrading Capoue)
    c) Cedric Walcott to Valencia Eriksen

  16. Kermit Special

  17. Arteta

    Stoke 0:0 Southampton

    Perfect! Played Grant and van Dijk but benched Pieters. They are also on bonus points. I'll take it.

    1. Az
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      1. Arteta
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 3 months ago

        And high five to you my friend! 😀 Pity that I benched Heaton but how rare is that both of your goalkeepers will get 9+ points. So unexpected.

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

    Zlatan killing me. ML leader has him (c). Damn the ref for not sending Rojo off.

  19. youzef
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 3 months ago

    Morgan, Snodgrass, Iheanacho
    to
    Lallana, Walker, Diomande for - 4?

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

    Any sight which can project your points including auto subs and projected bonus points?

    Azpilicueta, van Dijk, Pieters, Ake, Boruc give be perfect defensive points. Payet (C) not so good though, hopefully he can do something next week versus Hull.
