Benjamin Mendy (Manchester City) / Harvey Barnes (Leicester) / James Maddison (Leicester) - 10 points
Willian (Chelsea) - 11 points
Tim Krul (Norwich) / Youri Tielemans (Leicester) - 13 points
Despite finishing on the wrong end of a 3-1 defeat to Manchester United on Sunday, Norwich goalkeeper Tim Krul can be delighted with his afternoon's work. Krul became the first goalkeeper in three years to save two penalties in the same Premier League game after first denying Marcus Rashford and then saving Anthony Martial's spot-kick.
Every time Leicester play you are left with the feeling why none of the Premier League big boys seriously pushed to hi-jack Leicester's move to sign Youri Tielemans on a permanent deal. The Belgium international scored and assisted in Leicester's 9-0 win over Southampton, managing the feat for the second time this season.
Ayoze Perez (Leicester) / Ben Chilwell (Leicester) / Jamie Vardy (Leicester) / Christian Pulisic (Chelsea) - 19 points
After a relatively underwhelming start to his Leicester career, Ayoze Perez burst into life in their demolition job of Southampton with his second league hat-trick of 2019. Perez was one of four players, along with Jamie Vardy, Ben Chiwell and Christian Pulisic to earn perfect WhoScored 10 ratings over the weekend.
Perez wasn't the only Leicester player to put three past Southampton on Friday, with Vardy also getting in on the act. In doing so, Leicester became the first team since 2003 to have to treble scorers in the same Premier League match. Their Leicester team-mate, Ben Chilwell, also excelled at Saint Mary's, claiming a goal and an assist.
Christian Pulisic will hope to use Saturday's display against Burnley to kickstar his Chelsea career after a tough few months in west London. The United States international scored a perfect hat-trick in Chelsea's 4-2 win over Burnley to score 19 points on Fanteam Fantasy Football.
