Fantasy football saw some heavy hitters as the Premier League resumed for Gameweek 19.
West Ham and Leeds played out a thrilling 2-2 draw at Elland Road, while Fulham picked up three more points at Leicester.
At the bottom of the table, Everton were humiliated at home and Nottingham Forest squeezed past Southampton to leave them rock bottom.
We take a look at some of the best and worst fantasy performers.
Gameweek 19 top performers
Harry Kane (Tottenham)
Harry Kane emerges as our top scorer in GW19 after scoring a brace in Tottenham’s 4-0 win over Crystal Palace.
With 16 points, the England captain picks up his best return in fantasy football this season, topping his 11 in GW16.
Next up in the league for Spurs is Arsenal in the North London Derby — a fixture that no player has scored more goals in than Kane.
Bernd Leno (Fulham)
Some of the credit for Fulham’s fantastic season can be put down to goalkeeper Bernd Leno, who had an excellent game against Leicester.
The Cottagers ran out 1-0 winners and the German picked up 10 points, making him the joint-highest-scoring keeper alongside Nick Pope.
But for a fraction of the price, Leno’s contributions outweigh the impressive form of Pope and earn him a spot in our top performers for the week.
Casemiro (Manchester United)
Casemiro has been receiving a lot of praise in recent weeks and he backed up his claim as one of the best midfielders in England with a goal against Bournemouth.
Scoring 10 points, the Brazilian equals his best return and looks set to continue United’s charge for a top-four spot.
However, the Manchester derby is next on the list and the mere 2.2% of players who selected Casemiro should think carefully before awarding him a starting place for GW20.
Gameweek 19 worst performers
Ibrahima Konate (Liverpool)
Liverpool suffered a humiliating defeat to Brentford and Ibrahima Konate will not want to watch any replays of the match.
He ended up on minus one points, which was unlucky for the 0.5% of managers who selected him.
Liverpool will travel to Brighton next and it may be a bit of a stretch to expect the Reds to pick up three points on the South Coast.
Miguel Almiron (Newcastle)
Although Newcastle can view a point at the Emirates as a good result, Miguel Almiron’s two-point haul will upset 42% of fantasy football players.
Substituted early, the Paraguay international failed to make an impact in North London.
With a home tie against Fulham next on the agenda, Almiron will be looking to bounce back with a goal or two on Tyneside.
Martin Odegaard (Arsenal)
It is not very often that Martin Odegaard picks up just two points, but he was unable to make the difference in the draw at home to Newcastle.
It ends his run of three straight games of scoring over 10 points, which will be a disappointment to the 23.4% of players who had him in their line-up.
Arsenal are yet to win at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium but there is a feeling that they could pick up a win over their rivals in GW20.
