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.

      I really wanted to put the band on him, but stuck with Kane. So disappointed.

        • 12 Years

        Was very nervous without Kane. 😆

    Matching rival using all spare cash to get Costa was a mistake. Should've gone differentials

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

    ML rival has Zlatan (c) and two Stoke defenders. Worst week ever.

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

      14 points right there for them whilst Kane is on the bench.

  14. Boydinho

    Rojo should have been off, Pogba should have been off and Zlatan should have been off

    1. Champione

      haha chill

      1. Boydinho
        • 11 Years

    2. Lizard Lips

    4. GreatCarragherReef

      they did also have a stonewall pen and a perfectly good goal disallowed...

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

        and scored a handball/offside one so

    5. Team Cruel

      It's way past your bedtime. You should be off too.

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

        it's morning here so no 🙂

    6. afcblegend
      • 14 Years

      Agree with Rojo and Pogba but at the same time United had a goal disallowed and a penalty disallowed wrongly.

    7. dcarlito
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Yawn. Ifs and buts. And for the record United had a stone wall pen turned down and a goal ruled incorrectly offside, balances out really.

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

        and scored a offside/handball one, and things don't pan out even clearly

    8. Granville
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Complete the picture. Should have had a penalty and an goal incorrectly ruled offside.

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

        scored a pisspoorgoal themself though

    here's me banging on all week about how I was planning to go all maveric and captaining Eriksen over Kane.

  17. Le _ Professeur
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    I had Eriksen for almost all his blanks at the beginning of the season, then I decided to sell him for Hazard after that brace he scored, ever since, Eriksen has been AWESOME and Hazard with no productivity at all .. My Luck 😐

  18. Champione
