Defenders from Newcastle United and Arsenal were the unlikely Dream Team heroes in Gameweek 23 of Fantasy Premier League.
Newcastle centre-back Fabian Schar (£4.6m) led the way with a 21-point haul – the joint-highest individual score of the season – as Newcastle beat Cardiff City 3-0, while Gunners duo Laurent Koscielny (£5.4m) and Sokratis (£5.1m) both recorded double-figure hauls against Chelsea.
Indeed, all five defenders in the Dream Team returned at least 11 points as a 5-4-1 formation produced 146 points overall – just five shy of the season's highest tally.
