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, 1 month 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, 1 month 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

    What should I do with Cedric?

    1. Valencia's Left Foot

      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

      Sell him, cuco could well keep his spot

  5. Albrightondknight
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years

    Signs of life from Firmino come on.

  6. Lizard Lips
    • 13 Years
    9 years, 1 month 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, 1 month ago

    Now I can say captain fail

    1. Numb
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Unless you captained Heaton

  8. Greenbackbøøg…

    Boro looking weak at the back

  9. dark91

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

      • 11 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

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

  10. Alnair
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

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

  11. Matamatics

  21. Bubz
    • 12 Years

    Going Nacho over Origi was good

    Damnit

  23. AndyCook

    • Venom Snake
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

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

    • Smarty Pants
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Larsson almost

    • Tansey
      • 10 Years

      The Dembele Theory strikes again

    • Kaneyonero
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Should've got Lallana

    • Lizard Lips
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

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

    • Yome
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Lallana assist

    • Az
