The Fantasy Football Ultimate XI is here after another weekend of Premier League action. There was no winner, but how many of your chosen 11 made the cut?
Ultimate XI explained
The Ultimate XI points system excludes the amount awarded for man-of-the-match winners (three points), therefore allowing for a fairer view of where the points were scored.
No player could match all 11 players in the Ultimate XI to win the £50,000 jackpot, but a fantastic effort saw one entrant have six players in their selected side. Check out the list below and see how each player accrued their points to earn a place in the Ultimate XI.
