<p>As we head into Gameweek 16, 2016/17 Sky Sports Fantasy Football Champion Dan Cox highlights five players for you to consider for your fantasy XI this week.</p>
<p>We return to Premier League action after yet another International Break, with three days worth of fixtures to navigate our way through and grab some much needed fantasy points.</p>
<p>Mo Salah will again be one of my five picks but I have some differentials for you to consider this week.</p>
<h3>Mo Salah 12.9m</h3>
<p>The Egyptian scored his sixth goal of the season in Liverpool&#8217;s win over Fulham, but it wasn&#8217;t the avalanche of goals at Anfield many were expecting.</p>
<p>Salah now sits on 80 points for the season and is steadily returning points each week. With the aforementioned six goals, four assists and two MOTM awards &#8211; he&#8217;s ticking over nicely.</p>
<p>In a considerable 46% of teams its a huge risk not owning the Liverpool forward. As if he does deliver a double digit points haul, and is the standout captaincy choice then a lot of people will be overtaking you. It’s a risk not worth taking in my opinion.</p>
<p>Liverpool travel to Vicarage Road on Saturday and Salah will be my choice of captain for the day.</p>
<p>So onto the differentials, and what I mean by that is players that are not highly owned. What’s good about a differential is that if they score highly &#8211; by only being in a relatively low amount of teams it means that you’ll really benefit as not many others will own them.</p>
<p>Starting with a player who surprisingly isn’t in as many teams as he should be.</p>
<h3>David Silva 10.5m</h3>
<p>Priced at just 10.5m, the Spaniard is a class act who oozes quality. He picked up his third MOTM award of the season in the 3-1 win over Manchester United and is now tied at the top alongside Eden Hazard, James Maddison, Richarlison, Roberto Pereyra and Ryan Fraser all with three apiece.</p>
<p>In just 7.7% of teams I think he’s a great pick. He’s clearly a MOTM favourite and with a trip to face former Manchester City manager Manuel Pellegrini’s West Ham, I think it’s a great time to bring him in. He’s the third highest point scoring midfielder behind Hazard and teammate Raheem Sterling with 77 points. Plus he’s 1.1m cheaper than Sterling and 1.3m cheaper than Hazard. So you could use that money to invest elsewhere in your team.</p>
<p>Having scored four times, assisted twice and with the three MOTM he’s having a great season.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h3>Granit Xhaka 9.6m</h3>
<p>Onto Sunday and the first of the two Sky Sports Super Sunday games.</p>
<p>Bournemouth host Arsenal in the 1.30pm kick off at the Vitality. A player I like a lot in Sky Sports Fantasy Football and it may come as a surprise &#8211; is Granit Xhaka at 9.6m.</p>
<p>But hear me out, he’s only 14 points behind David Silva and is in just 2.3% of teams. The Swiss international has scored twice this season and registered one assist.</p>
<p>But where he does get the majority of his points is from hitting tier two passing bonus in most games. Jorginho is the only midfielder to have made more passes. And don’t forget those bonus passing points of three for making 70 successful passes is equivalent to a midfielder scoring a goal every other game.</p>
<h3>Matt Doherty 6.5m</h3>
<p>Another option on Sunday comes from the second Super Sunday match of Wolves v Huddersfield at Molineux. Matt Doherty is priced at just 6.3m and is in just 6.3% of teams. The marauding right wing back has 61 points this season from four clean sheets, one goal, two assists and two MOTM awards.</p>
<p>I think he’s a great season long pick as he catches the eye of the sky reporter as shown with the two MOTM already. Plus he has the chance of attacking returns along with possible clean sheets.</p>
<h3>Salomon Rondon 9.5m</h3>
<p>Onto the Sky Sports Monday Night Football and Burnley host Newcastle at Turf Moor.</p>
<p>I think a popular captaincy choice will be Newcastle’s Salomon Rondon priced at just 9.5m. The Venezuelan forward grabbed 18 points last week with his brace and MOTM against Bournemouth.</p>
<p>He could turn out to be a great pick, if Newcastle have turned a corner after they followed up their first win of the season with another consecutive victory. In just 0.4% of teams he really is a differential. And it’s not just a reaction to last weeks haul why I’m selecting him.</p>
<p>In the coming weeks Newcastle face Burnley, West Ham, Everton, Wolves and Huddersfield so it’s quite a favourable run of fixtures.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h3>The Stats Pack</h3>
<p>Below are the average remaining transfers for the following brackets of teams.</p>
<table>
<tbody>
<tr>
<td>Top 10</td>
<td>13.2</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>Top 100</td>
<td>17.7</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>Top 1,000</td>
<td>20.1</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>Top 5,000</td>
<td>21</td>
</tr>
</tbody>
</table>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>I’m currently 71st having made my way into the top 100 last week. I’m well above the average transfers left so I’m hoping to again finish in the top 100 after coming 30th last season and first the season before.</p>
