Fantasy Premier League: Dream Team - Gameweek 5

Gameweek 5 of the Premier League concluded on Sunday, with Manchester United thrashing Everton 4-0. The other big result included Watford's 6-0 annihilation at the hands of Manchester City.

The London derby between Chelsea and Arsenal ended in a goalless draw, where Chelsea were down to 10 men after a red card to David Luiz for his wild challenge on Sead Kolasinac.

Meanwhile, Tottenham still haven't won at their new home ground - Wembley.

Elsewhere, Liverpool were held to a 1-1 draw by a defiant Burnley side.

Here we take a look at the Fantasy Premier League's 'Dream Team' for Gameweek 5.

Goalkeeper:

1) Lukasz Fabianski(Swansea)

Fabianski was instrumental in keeping a clean sheet against Tottenham, giving the Lilywhites a hard time to get the ball past him.

He made a total of 8 saves in the game, and has been given 11 points, making him the best goalkeeper for the weekend.

Defenders:

2) Antonio Valencia(Manchester United)

Valencia scored an absolute screamer this weekend

Valencia had a very good game for Manchester United. He scored a wonder goal from an acute angle, and his defensive game was also up to the mark.

He was given 15 points, making him the best defender of the weekend.

3) Nicolas Otamendi(Manchester City)

Otamendi, too, had a good week and game against Watford. Though Watford had a few chances in the game, Otamendi was at his best in the match and also scored with a header in the match.

He gathered a total of 12 points, making him the 2nd pick in this category.

4) Kyle Walker(Manchester City)

Kyle Walker and John Stones in action for Manchester City

Walker has been given 10 points and completes the back three. He had an easy game against Watford, who were decimated by Manchester City.

After being subject to intense debate over his seemingly hefty price tag, upon arrival from Tottenham this season, he seems to be gelling well with the rest of the Manchester City side and has established himself as a starting choice for Pep Guardiola.

Midfielders:

5) David Silva(Manchester City)

Watford v Manchester City - Premier League

David Silva was one the best player on the pitch for Manchester City, and was instrumental in the 6-0 defeat against Watford.

He had two assists in the match, and has been touted as one of the best midfielders in the Premier League.

He quite clearly proved his standards in the game against Watford, and picked up 11 points.

6) Matt Richie(Newcastle United)

Matt Richie was the best player for Newcastle this weekend. He had two assists in the match and kept the midfield flowing, and subsequently won 11 points in the Fantasy Premier League

Richie is an important player for the Magpies as he already has four assists to his name this season.

With three back to back victories for Newcastle, Rafa Benitez seems to be doing some fantastic work.

7) Steven Davis(Southampton)

Crystal Palace v Southampton - Premier League

Davis scored the only goal of the match against Crystal Palace, winning him 11 points for the match, in Fantasy.

His goal ensured a win for Southampton, taking them to 9th place in the English Premier League table.

8) Scott Arfield(Burnley)

Liverpool v Burnley - Premier League

Scott Arfield's goal in the match ensured that Liverpool had to come from behind, to get a draw in the match.

He had a good match in terms of threats and chances, winning 10 points for the match.

9) Andrew Surman(Bournemouth)

After the goal against Brighton

Andrew Surman's goal gave Bournemouth the much-needed goal and laid the foundation for the comeback against Brighton and Hove Albion.

He had a great match and was a great influence in the midfield, and was awarded 10 points this week.

Forwards:

10) Sergio Aguero(Manchester City)

Watford v Manchester City - Premier League

Aguero had one of the best games of the season, as he scored a hat-trick against Watford. He accumulated 20 points this week and is the best player in the Fantasy Dream Team.

His attacking prowess is known to everyone and he proved it yet again, against Watford.

11) Romelu Lukaku(Manchester United)

Manchester United v Everton - Premier League

Lukaku had an assist and a goal in his match against his old club Everton.

It was enough to get him on the Dream Team for the week, as he was given 12 points for his performance in the match. Manchester United seem to be on a roll this season, and are the only other unbeaten team this season in the league, apart from local rivals Manchester City

Many would not agree with this team as being the best team for the week, but this is a team based on points given for their performance in the match, and in no way is the best team for the week as given by pundits.
