We look at the leading XI from this weekend's Barclays Premier League action in the Sky Sports Fantasy Football game.

Leicester's Riyad Mahrez makes the top Fantasy Football side for the third week in a row, while Bournemouth striker Callum Wilson produced the biggest points return following a hat-trick against West Ham.

Tim Krul

Krul was part of the Newcastle side that kept their first clean sheet of the season in the goalless draw at Manchester United. The Holland international will need to be on form again this weekend when Arsenal travel north to St James' Park.

Allan Nyom

Nyom is a key figure in the defence that has helped Watford claim two goalless draws in a row. More is required from the Hornets going forward but Nyom and his defensive colleagues are more than playing their part for the cause.

Scott Dann

Experienced defender Dann opened the scoring in Crystal Palace's 2-1 victory over Aston Villa on Saturday afternoon. The 28-year-old was linked with a move to Everton over the summer and there's plenty of Fantasy Football bosses after his signature too!

Chancel Mbemba

It's early days for Mbemba after joining Newcastle from Anderlecht over the summer but it has been a good start to life by the Tyne for the 21-year-old. A clean sheet at Old Trafford is definitely a decent way to get support from the Magpies' fans.

Jose Fonte

Fonte enjoyed a great 2014/15 campaign as Southampton qualified for the Europa League and he's started off the new season with more top quality defensive work. The Portuguese produced a solid display in Sunday's goalless draw at Watford.

Aleksandar Kolarov

Kolarov set Manchester City on the way to a 2-0 victory at Everton on Super Sunday with a cracking goal. The Serbia international is a set-piece specialist too so is a real valuable asset for any Fantasy Football manager.

Pedro

What a start to life in the Premier League and Sky Sports Fantasy Football! Pedro opened the scoring and won the man of the match award as Chelsea beat West Brom 3-2 on Super Sunday to acquire 15 points, the weekend's second largest return.

James Morrison

Morrison netted twice as West Brom fell to defeat against Chelsea. The Scotland international also missed a penalty so it could have been even better for Fantasy Football chiefs!

Riyad Mahrez

Three games and three appearances in the Fantasy Football team of the week for Leicester star Mahrez. The winger's fourth goal of the season secured a 1-1 draw for the Foxes at home to Tottenham.

Callum Wilson

Wilson was this weekend's Fantasy Football MVP after netting a hat-trick in Bournemouth's 4-3 victory at West Ham. Bosses with the Cherries striker in their team were better off to the tune of 22 points following that treble.

Diego Costa

Costa costs a lot at £9.8million for Fantasy Football managers but he provides a guarantee of points. The Chelsea striker found the back of the net in the 3-2 success at West Brom as the Blues got back on track after a tough start.
