If you had the Swiss defender in your fantasy football team, his two goals and contribution to a clean sheet helped supply 26 points.

This was the joint highest with Diego Jota who scored a hat-trick for Wolves in their dramatic 4-3 win over Leicester.

However, Fabian Schar was also the cheapest player in the entire top Premier League 11 highest points winners this weekend.

Rafa Benitez having to try and rely on bargain/budget buys in the real world as well.

Ironically, Schar’s fantasy football value (£6.9m) is twice what he actually cost last summer when recruited from Deportivo.
