Sergio Aguero racked up a whopping 27 points to lead the latest Sky Sports Fantasy Football team of the week.

The Argentinian proved his worth with a hat-trick in another rampant win for title favourites Manchester City.

Aguero is joined by two of his City team-mates plus two midfielders from Southampton and Bournemouth, while Swansea's backline is well represented following their resilient display at Wembley against Tottenham.

Romelu Lukaku, who has scored five goals, just misses out after scoring one and setting another up against his former club Everton, while Xherdan Shaqiri, Henrikh Mkhitaryan and Mohamed Salah also racked up double figures.

Here's the latest team of the week...

GOALKEEPER

Lukasz Fabianski (£6.2m) - 12 points

The Polish goalkeeper missed out on the Sky Sports man-of-the-match award despite keeping out Tottenham on Saturday, but did secure maximum bonus points for making eight saves.

DEFENDERS

Antonio Valencia (£9m) - 15 points

It was a perfect performance from Manchester United's right-back on Super Sunday, opening the scoring with a stunner, helping keep a clean sheet and securing the MOTM award for his efforts, keeping 11.75 per cent of Sky Sports Fantasy Football bosses happy in the process.

Nicolas Otamendi (£8.6m) - 14 points

There may not have been the MOTM award in it for Nicolas Otamendi, but a goal and a third consecutive clean sheet made for a decent day at the office, especially given the continued absence of defensive partner Vincent Kompany.

Federico Fernandez (£6.7m) - 12 points

Tottenham had 26 shots at Wembley but their lack of clear-cut chances was largely down to the performance of Federico Fernandez, who collected the MOTM award for his heroics.

Kyle Walker (£9.5m) - 12 points

The former Spurs man may not have got on the scoresheet or collected the MOTM award, but his constant involvement down the right flank saw him collect bonus points for competed passes, including an assist, to go with his clean sheet.

MIDFIELDERS

Jordon Ibe (£7.5m) - 12 points

Bournemouth's forgotten has gradually been working his way into Eddie Howe's plans and proved his creative contributions with both assists in their opening win of the season over Brighton.

Andrew Surman (£6.8m) - 11 points

The first of those assists was for Andrew Surman, who also racked up maximum passing bonus points, although just 1.13 per cent of Sky Sports Fantasy Football bosses reaped rewards.

Mario Lemina (£8.5m) - 11 points

Both Mario Lemina's arrival from Juventus and his weekend contribution might have gone under the radar for some, but the Southampton midfielder showed his class in controlling the midfield at Crystal Palace, enjoying 97 touches, five tackles and winning possession 15 times.

Steven Davis (£7.5m) - 10 points

No less than 10 players racked up 10 points over the weekend but Steven Davis gets in our side courtesy of costing the least, with his solitary strike proving the difference at Selhurst Park.

Matt Ritchie (£8.3m) - 13 points

Newcastle's Matt Ritchie might consider himself fortunate not to have been joining Sadio Mane in starting a three-match ban for similarly high-footed challenge last weekend, but he seized his reprieve with a brace of assists against Stoke on Saturday.

STRIKER

Sergio Aguero (£12.8m) - 27 points

Not only did Sergio Aguero bag himself the match ball on Saturday but he also added an assist to his contribution, leaving himself just a point behind the season's overall top Sky Sports Fantasy Football scorer Mohamed Salah.
