Philippe Coutinho stars in the latest Sky Sports Fantasy Football team of the week after leading Liverpool to a 5-1 thumping of Hull.

Coutinho is joined by his Reds team-mate James Milner in the XI, while Southampton also boast two players in an attacking line-up from a weekend which saw 34 Premier League goals.

Artur Boruc (£5.5m) - 9 points

Competition was hardly fierce for the spot between the sticks again this week, with only four Premier League sides keeping clean sheets. Boruc makes the line-up courtesy of costing less than Burnley's Tom Heaton (£5.8m), Southampton's Fraser Forster (£6.4m) and Arsenal's Petr Cech (£7.5m).

Ryan Bertrand (£7.7m) - 10 points

Southampton were the only side to record a clean sheet on the road and Bertrand also helped them at the other end of the pitch, providing an assist in a 3-0 demolition of West Ham on Super Sunday.

Hector Bellerin (£10.3m) - 10 points

Arsenal recorded the same scoreline against London rivals Chelsea on Saturday, with Bellerin matching Bertrand's points total as he set up Theo Walcott's goal.

Michael Keane (£6.6m) - 14 points

It was the cheapest of the defensive trio who top scored, with Keane heading home Burnley's second in their 2-0 win over an abject Watford side on Monday Night Football.

Philippe Coutinho (£10.7m) - 21 points

Coutinho was the star of the week as he inspired a 5-1 mauling of 10-man Hull, ticking all the boxes for an attacking midfielder in scoring one, setting up another and picking up additional bonus points for passes completed and shots on target.

Highlights of Liverpool 5-1 Hull

James Milner (£8.9m) - 15 points

Sky Sports Fantasy Football bosses may be put off by Milner being utilised as a left back, but he rewarded those who have kept faith, scoring from the spot twice, while also picking up bonus points for completing over 60 passes.

Joe Allen (£8.2m) - 15 points

Former Liverpool midfielder Allen helped Stoke break a run of four successive defeats, putting them ahead as part of a man-of-the-match display, only for Salomon Rondon to deny them all three points late on.

Paul Pogba (£11.9m) - 16 points

It's fair to say Pogba has struggled to live up to his hefty Sky Sports Fantasy Football price tag, let alone his world-record transfer fee, but he did manage to more than double his points total with a goal and the MOTM award in Saturday's 4-1 victory over Leicester.

Pogba scores first United goal

Sergio Aguero (£13m) - 17 points

The Argentina star returned to the top of the goalscorer's chart on five goals alongside Diego Costa and Michail Antonio following a three-match ban, bagging a brace at Swansea to remind us why he is the most expensive player in the game.

Heung-Min Son (£9.3m) - 17 points

While all eyes were on whether Vincent Janssen could fill Harry Kane's boots, Tottenham's almost forgotten man popped up with a sublime double to fire them to a 2-1 victory at Middlesbrough.

Charlie Austin (£9.8m) - 15 points

If there was any lingering doubt in Claude Puel's mind as to who his main goalscoring threat was before Sunday's trip to West Ham, it was suitably settled with a typically instinctive finish from Austin, who has now scored five goals in his last four appearances.
