Arsenal defender Jurrien Timber (£5.5m) enjoyed a memorable day by producing the joint-third biggest single Gameweek defender score in Fantasy Premier League history.
Timber registered two goals, an assist, a clean sheet and maximum bonus for a whopping 24-point return in the Gunners' 5-0 win against Leeds United.
That has only been bettered in a single Gameweek, where a player has just one fixture in a Gameweek, among defenders by John Arne Riise for Liverpool against West Bromwich Albion in 2004/05 and Steve Watson for Everton versus Leeds in 2003/04, who both racked up 27 points.
Timber's haul matches the 24 points that Trent Alexander-Arnold managed against Leicester City in 2019/20.
