Fantasy football team of week

in #sports7 years ago

Kyle Walker is joined by Kyle Walker-Peters in the opening Sky Sports Fantasy Football team of the week as Tottenham boast three of the top-scoring players.
There are also two Huddersfield players following their impressive 3-0 win at Crystal Palace, but it was West Brom's Ahmed Hegazi who topped the scoring charts with an 18-point haul.
Romelu Lukaku (£12.4m) and Jamie Vardy (£11.2m) both bagged doubles but just miss out due to their higher valuations, with plenty of lower-priced options racking up points.
Here's the XI in full...
GOALKEEPER
Jonas Lossl - Huddersfield (£5.7m)
On-loan Mainz man Jonas Lossl opened with a clean sheet and, such was the Terriers' impressive defensive work in their win at Palace, he didn't even reach the five-save bonus point marker. Few neutrals reaped rewards, however, with only 0.38 per cent of Sky Sports Fantasy Football bosses selecting the Dane.
DEFENDERS
Kyle Walker - Man City (£9.5m)
The former Tottenham man began to justify his hefty transfer fee with a man-of-the-match display in Manchester City's 2-0 win at Brighton, rampaging down the right all evening and helping his new side keep a clean sheet.
Kyle Walker-Peters - Tottenham (£5.9m)
Mauricio Pochettino called upon Kyle Walker-Peters as cover for the injured Kieran Trippier and had his faith rewarded, with a clean sheet and a MOTM display delivered by the 20-year-old.

Ben Davies - Tottenham (£8.2m)
From the other flank, Ben Davies was on hand to wrap up the points at St James' Park, while he also secured bonus points for completing 68 passes as a patient start evolved into a dominant display against Newcastle's 10 men.
Ryan Bertrand - Southampton (£8.2m)
Mauricio Pellegrino's Southampton failed to convert any of their 29 shots against Swansea, hitting the target with just two, leaving their defence to take credit in a 0-0 draw.
Ahmed Hegazi - West Brom (£6.2m)
It may be a new season but one thing that has not changed is West Brom's superiority from set-pieces, with new boy Ahmed Hegazi doing exactly what was expected of him, keeping a clean sheet and scoring a header.
He was also named MOTM, but just 0.8 per cent of Sky Sports Fantasy Football bosses selected
MIDFIELDERS
Granit Xhaka - Arsenal (£8.7m)
Few Arsenal players attracted more criticism last season than big-money signing Granit Xhaka, but the Swiss playmaker enjoyed a fine start to his second campaign, laying on two superb assists in their 4-3 comeback win over Leicester.

Christian Eriksen - Tottenham (£10.8m)
Also offering up two assists for team-mates was Tottenham's chief architect Christian Eriksen, following on from where he left off last season when he created more chances than any other Premier League player.
Mohamed Salah - Liverpool (£9.4m)
Salah had less joy in his previous Premier League campaign, when he was shipped off to Fiorentina after just three substitute appearances for Chelsea.
But he started his new Liverpool season impressively, scoring a goal, setting up another and being named MOTM.

STRIKERS
Sam Vokes - Burnley (£9m)
Additional responsibility has been placed on Vokes' shoulders following Andre Gray's exit, but that only seemed to spur the striker on as the Clarets took advantage of their numerical superiority over Chelsea, with the striker bagging a brace.
Steve Mounie - Huddersfield (£8.5m)
Huddersfield's record signing also bagged a brace and racked up the MOTM award, with a yellow card the only tarnish on an otherwise perfect debut.
