MIDFIELDER – Jesse Lingard

MIDFIELDER – Ashley Young 

Sticking with Manchester United, and it was a former Watford man who came back to haunt his former employers.

FORWARD – Wayne Rooney 

The moment of the night came at Goodison Park as Wayne Rooney netted a hat-trick for Everton, who ran out 4-0 winners.

Fantasy Football points (32.45) than any other Premier League player in gameweek 14. 

FORWARD – Olivier Giroud 

Mohamed Salah is not the only sub to star in Yahoo! Fantasy Football’s best XI of the week, with Olivier Giroud on hand to bag a brace in Arsenal’s 5-0 win over Huddersfield. A 100% pass success rate meant the Frenchman racked up 23.50 points following his fine cameo on Wednesday night.
