MailOnline Fantasy Football team of the week: Alvaro Morata steals the show as Leroy Sane and Raheem Sterling impress

• e-mail

It was another memorable weekend for forwards with 26 goals scored as Manchester City deepened Crystal Palace's woes with a 5-0 win in which Leroy Sane and Raheem Sterling took centre stage.

Chelsea showed the title form of last season away to Stoke City as summer signing Alvaro Morata assumed the role of star man with a fine hat-trick.

But who were the other players making the difference? Sportsmail runs through the top performers and highest scorers from week six.

GK: Mat Ryan - Brighton - 9 Points

With Newcastle throwing everything at Brighton in a bid to salvage a point on Sunday, manager Chris Hughton had his goalkeeper to thank for ensuring all three points remained at the Amex stadium. 

Ryan's five saves will catch the eye and given his modest in-game price of £5.5 million, he frees up funds for your team's galacticos.

DF: Cesar Azpilicueta - Chelsea - 13 Points

He may not steal the headlines but Azpilicueta is one of Antonio Conte's most reliable performers at Chelsea. With two assists for Spanish compatriot Morata – and a clean sheet to match – the defender is a Fantasy Football must-have.

DF: Marcos Alonso - Chelsea - 7 Points

Alonso was one of the shining lights at Stamford Bridge last season as they went on to win the Premier League title and he's recaptured that form again this season. 

With back-to-back clean sheets and favourable fixtures in the coming weeks, Alonso's owners could have more to smile about.

DF: Sead Kolasinac - Arsenal - 7 Points

Having signed for the Gunners on a free transfer in the summer, there was a quiet optimism that Arsenal had a real talent on their hands. Another clean sheet at home to West Brom on Monday makes him a key differential in Fantasy Football terms.

MF: Raheem Sterling - Man City - 14 Points

Every time a City attacker is given a starting role it feels like an audition but with two goals to show for his efforts, Sterling more than earned a call back.

Leroy Sane opened the scoring in a 5-0 demolition of Crystal Palace at the Etihad Stadium

MF: Leroy Sane - Man City - 14 Points

Sane was exquisite against Crystal Palace on Saturday. Two assists and a fine goal demonstrated why Pep Guardiola worked so hard to bring him to Manchester. 

Despite City's wealth of attacking options, expect Sane to play a starring role in the weeks to come.

MF: Philippe Coutinho - Liverpool - 11 Points

As Coutinho stood over a free-kick at Leicester on Saturday evening, there was a sense of inevitability with what was going to happen. Up, over and in. 

The Brazilian also set up Mohamed Salah for the opener and after a turbulent few months, it was his football that did the talking.

MF: Mohamed Salah - Liverpool - 8 Points

While questions on Liverpool's rear-guard continue to surface, few can fault the impact of Salah since his summer move from Roma. The opening goal against Leicester was his fourth league goal for the club and he's proved good value for owners so far.

FWD: Alvaro Morata - Chelsea - 17 Points

It looks like there is life after Diego Costa after all. Morata's fine hat-trick away to Stoke showed his pace, power and clinical edge in front of goal. 

With Crystal Palace, Watford and Bournemouth to play in the next few weeks, do whatever you can to fit him in your team.

FWD: Harry Kane - Tottenham - 12 Points

'He easily has to be worth £100million-plus,' was the verdict of West Ham captain Mark Noble after a brace from Kane helped Spurs to a 3-2 win over West Ham at the London Stadium. Kane is picking up steam now and that means one thing – goals.

FWD: Alexandre Lacazette - Arsenal - 12 Points

At the Emirates, Lacazette is imperious. His two goals were the difference against West Brom on Monday night and with Brighton and Hove Albion visiting north London next, Lacazette is the man to fire you to the top of your mini-league.

Total points: 124
