Xherdan Shaqiri (£7.1m) needed only 14 minutes off the bench to seal his place in the Dream Team for Gameweek 17 in Fantasy Premier League.

The Liverpool playmaker's two goals in a 3-1 win over Manchester United earned him a season-high haul of 14 points.

Fellow midfielder Henrikh Mkhitaryan (£6.7m) equalled that total with a brace in Arsenal's 3-2 loss at Southampton.

The pair slot into a 3-5-2 formation that scored 130 points.

Robert Snodgrass (WHU) £5.4m; 11pts
