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

    Lallana so much better without Can in the team.

    If Can plays at the weekend Lallana will go back to being relatively quiet.

  8. Kaneyonero

    Lallana essential. Firmino to Lallana easiest transfer. Firmino bags a hattrick next gw. Lmao

    1. Lawrø

      9 years, 1 month ago

      Pfft, I got that alone from TC Heaton.

  13. LeicesterA

  14. Moves like Dejagah

    Went for Nacho over Origi grrrr

  15. FALCAO & MOU
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    It wasn't Firmino to Payet or Eriksen, it was Firmino to Lallana.

  16. SC not pearls before swine
    • 15 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    If Mane doesn't get anything, it will be the most unfortunate blank of the year...

    Nothing away from Lallana and Origi who have also been good.

    1. Too Mane Men
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      He's the only Pool player I own. Can't watch anymore. I'm very upset.

    2. Coaly
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Why? Has he been dangerous

      1. SC not pearls before swine
        • 15 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        Hit the post, had the ball in the box with a half chance a couple times. The last two goals he's been fouled right as he slipped the ball to the eventual assister.

    3. Neeskens Under Matip
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Was going to ask, how is Mane, sounds like he is assisting the assister tonight?

      1. SC not pearls before swine
        • 15 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        Yep.

    4. squits
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Yeah he is the bridesmaid today, been involved in every goal but no assist yet!

  17. Make United Great Again
    • 13 Years

    Right I'm getting Lallana. See ya Firmino.

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

      Me too. Tonight's persuaded me he's better than Eriksen.

  18. sully29

        • 11 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        Haha, just gut calls man. Long term your advice makes more sense

  25. glufs

    Firmino will get 4-0. What then?

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

      Even if that happens, this is his last week in my team

  26. afcblegend

    "It's another goal where Sadio Mane falls over in the build-up too, Gegenpressing his heart out."

    When did Mané become Luka Modric...

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

    Spurs look awful. 1-1 wouldn't surprise me. Last season ditch all their assets and they win 4-0 away to Stoke. Funny game this as in painful!!

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

    Do which of these 2?

    1) Iheanacho >>Origi
    OR
    2) Firmino >>Eriksen

    Leaning on 1 as Everton match can be high scoring for LIV
