Four Liverpool players make the latest Sky Sports Fantasy Football team of the week following their emphatic victory at Aston Villa on Super Sunday.

The Reds romped to a 6-0 victory at Villa Park, with six different players helping themselves to goals, including three of the line-up listed below.

Jamie Vardy remains the game's leading overall scorer with 194 points after taking his goal tally to 19 in Leicester's 2-1 defeat to Arsenal, although the striker fails to make the week's top-scoring XI.

Top scoring XI

Ben Foster (£4.9m)

Southampton's Fraser Forster (£5.1m) may have claimed his sixth successive clean sheet, but it was West Brom's fit-again goalkeeper Foster who claims the TOTW spot between the posts after saving everything thrown at him by Everton.

Kolo Toure (£5.5m)

The veteran centre-back scored his first goal since January 2011 and Liverpool's sixth of the afternoon at Villa Park, while also claiming pass-completion bonus points.

Coutinho may have failed to get on the scoresheet but his creative genius was key to unraveling Villa's defence. He claimed three assists and the MOTM award.

Emre Can (£6.2m)

The German opened the floodgates with a fine strike, just his second goal for the Reds and a first appearance in the team-of-the-week line-up.

Dimitri Payet (£6.2m)

Payet continues to prove a valuable asset for both West Ham and Sky Sports Fantasy Football bosses as he scored one and set another up as the Hammers came from two behind to salvage a point at Norwich.

Mousa Dembele (£5m)

The 28-year-old may not have have contributed a goal or an assist in Tottenham's 2-1 victory at Manchester City but his importance was recognised with passing and tackle bonus points along with the MOTM award.

Pedro (£8.2m)

Troy Deeney (7.1m)

The Watford striker also racked up a week high of 17 points with a double and the MOTM award as he fired his side up to ninth in the table, surely ending any lingering relegation concerns in the process.
