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

      If I'm not mistaken, Origi just broke Studge record of 5 goals in 5 consecutive matches.

    27. brianutd-why always we? 20
      • 14 Years

      Rondon

    28. Shirokov(c)
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Well, at least I didn't take a hit this week.

    29. Kaneyonero
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      One Kane goal would be such a differential in my ML

    30. Hybrid.power
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      There goes Amat's cleanie

    31. Hect.OR 98th
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Every week I think it's the week I'll haul in my ML leader. For weeks I've had the better team on paper but it's just not worked out. He's made better captaincy choices and had some luck with autosubs.

      This week he's captained....Rondon. Fair play to him, he's having a cracking season.

      1. Salah’s Sonnet
        • 14 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        exactly the same story here man, i empathise greatly.

        1. Hect.OR 98th
          • 16 Years
          9 years, 1 month ago

          I have much better selling value, so I've just got to keep in touch and try and make the money count in the second WC and the DGWs

      Got Eriksen and Origi in fur Fer / Defoe. Happy days #smugboast
