DEFENSIVE MASTERCLASS WINS MANAGER GAMEWEEK 7 PRIZE

Fielding a five-man defence proved to be an inspired move by Brunei manager Radin Udara.

His Admin kotw team brought in 122 points to earn him Gameweek 7's Manager of the Week accolade.

And his five defenders, together with Burnley goalkeeper Joe Hart (£4.6m), secured Radin more than half of that total.
The Gameweek's top scorer, Leicester City centre-back Harry Maguire (£5.5m), led the way with 18 points.

A goal, assist, clean sheet and maximum bonus points helped Maguire to a second double-digit haul of the campaign as the Foxes beat Newcastle United 2-0.

Three other members of the Dream Team defence could also be found in Radin's side.

Wolverhampton Wanderers duo Jonny (£4.4m) and Matt Doherty (£4.5m) brought in 12 points each, while Tottenham Hotspur wing-back Kieran Trippier (£6.2m) recorded 11 in the 2-0 win at Huddersfield Town.

Radin captained Manchester City midfielder Raheem Sterling (£11.0m).

The winger's fourth goal of the season, and his second assist, produced 14 points as Pep Guardiola's side saw off Brighton & Hove Albion 2-0.

Tottenham Hotspur forward Harry Kane (£12.5m) was only one shy of that total as he scored both goals in the victory over the Terriers.

Attacking returns from Sergio Aguero (£11.4m), Theo Walcott (£6.6m) and Wolverhampton Wanderers' striker Raul Jimenez (£5.6m) also boosted Radin's total.

As the manager with the highest score among those not using any of their chips, the Cardiff City fan wins a copy of FIFA 19, a Nike Merlin match ball and an FPL rucksack and mug.

The Brazilian playmaker scored his first Premier League goal in stylish fashion on Saturday, producing a skilful backflick that set the Hammers on their way to a memorable 3-1 win over Manchester United. And Shearer, who includes West Ham's No 8 in his Best XI for Matchweek 7, says Anderson's growing influence is beginning to tell on a Hammers side who have earned seven points from their last three matches. "The summer signing scored a wonderful goal against Man Utd," he said says of Anderson. "He is showing the star quality that will get West Ham fans off their seats."
