With just one more round of Premier League fixtures before the World Cup, the Cheaters look to make the most of GW16 and head into the break in style.

Additionally, we discuss the FPL site's recent woes of crashing just before important deadlines and whether or not team sheet leaks are to blame. Hail Cheaters!
