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

    No idea what the LMS safety score will be. Should be pretty low.

    1. Partick Bateman
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Like 40 low?

        Should be less than 40.

    2. Rolls-Royce
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      32 pts. Safe?

    1. TLF
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Seems he was subbed early but not sure if that was due to having just come back after injury or down to performance.

    Origi flagged

    1. Yome

  8. FPL Panda

  9. GoonerByron
    • 14 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Either of these worth a hit..

    Benteke -> Origi

    Redmond -> Lallana

    1. Bobby_Baggio
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      just the last

  10. ChelseaGuy
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    How did Carroll look today?
    Better option than Origi?

    1. Paul
      • 15 Years

  11. GoodFella93
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Alli & Sigurdsson >>> Erikson & Lallana (-4)

    Before the price rises?? Lallana doesn't have great fixtures though.

  12. ♤TeddyBear♤
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Lallana or Erikson for Firmino?

    1. Bobby_Baggio
      • 14 Years

      Banana

    2. Kane Train
      • 10 Years

    Any issues with these moves for -4

    Iheanacho > Ibra
    Firmino > Lallana
    Cedric > Pieters

    Leaves me:

    Heaton
    McAuley - Lovren - Pieters
    Haz - Lallana - Sanchez - Zaha
    Kane - Ibra - Costa

    (De Roon - Smith - Amat)

    1. Kane Train
      • 10 Years

      Looks great mate.

      Help above please

  14. Bubz
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Hopefully the flag will keep Origi as a bit of a differential

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

      So he isnt injured right? Then why the flag?

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

        Klopp said he didnt think he was injured. So God knows why hes been flagged. Ridiculous really

  19. Krafty Werks
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Should we consider Negredo now he is back as 3rd striker over Origi? Next 2 of Swansea and Burnley is mighty tempting?

    1. Chris_H
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Except that Middlesboro don't score goals

    Do lots of people still own Gundogan? If so, could see some price rises for Phillips / Zaha etc as replacements this week.

    Well this GW has thrown everyone a curve ball. Used 1FT on Evans > Ake, but so many options for 2nd FT

    a) Firmino > Eriksen
    b) Anichebe > God knows who at similar price
    c) Allen > Eriksen

    I was planning on getting in Toby but that's been scuppered.
    Assumes Hazard is slight knock only

    1. *sigh*
      • 14 Years

      Why has Toby been scuppered?

      1. ViperStripes
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 16 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        Just cash needed elsewhere now.

  28. cuervos
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Firmino to
    a) Eriksen
    b) Lallana
    c) Payet
    Would like to replace nacho too (.6 ATB).

    1. JÆKS ⭐
      • 11 Years

      Kinda missed the Eriksen train now I think, would go for Lallana

  29. JÆKS ⭐

    Any updates on the Hazard injury?

    1. cuervos
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      "Chelsea manager Antonio Conte has said the injury that has ruled Eden Hazard out of the game against Sunderland on Wednesday is not a serious one.

      The Belgium international has been replaced by Willian in the Chelsea XI for Wednesday's game, but Conte says he should be back fit again soon."
