Defensive heroics dominate the latest Sky Sports Fantasy Football Team of the Week, following a weekend where defenders outscored strikers. Camiseta Andres Iniesta . Only six Premier League forwards found the net compared to seven different defenders, including Robert Huths double in Leicesters 3-1 win at Manchester City.Riyad Mahrez was also crucial in the victory, scoring one and setting another up, although the Leicester winger fails to make the line-up due to the ultra-defensive formation of 5-4-1 not being available.

Aaron Ramsey (£8.2m)The Wales international may not have got on the scoresheet in Arsenals 2-0 victory over Bournemouth, but he makes the TOTW courtesy of racking up tackling bonus points for a sixth time, passing bonus points for a ninth time and a third assist.Gylfi Sigurdsson (£7.1m)The attacking midfield has enjoyed a stunning return to form, taking his tally to five goals from his last six games with the opener in Swanseas 1-1 draw with Crystal Palace on Saturday.Roberto Firmino (£8m) Roberto Firmino: Has scored five goals in as many league games With 50 points from his last five matches, Firmino is developing into a Sky Sports Fantasy Football must-have, bagging a goal and an assist in Liverpools 2-2 draw with Sunderland.Aleksandar Mitrovic (£7.3m)Mitrovic was the only striker to be named MOTM this weekend, having delivered the decisive goal in a 1-0 victory over West Brom on Sunday, taking his tally to five for the season.Gabriel Agbonlahor (£6.7m)Mitrovics modest tally is impressive in comparison to Agbonlahor, who scored his first goal since March in Villas crucial victory over the Canaries.
