With the small matter of the Euro 2008 qualifiers now out of the way, the Premier League comes back to life this weekend.

The return to action means there are points to be scored for our Fantasy Football players.

Fulham’s American midfielder Clint Dempsey was the top scorer in the Shropshire Star’s Fantasy Football game last week with seven points.

Dempsey scored a goal and laid on two assists as Fulham came from behind to draw with Tottenham.

Liverpool’s Spanish contingent shared the Fantasy League points as Derby were thrashed 6-0 at Anfield.

Fernando Torres and Xabi Alonso scored two goals and six points each and full-back Alvaro Arbeloa earned five points for his clean sheet and assist.

Matthew Etherington’s two goals in West Ham’s 3-0 win at Reading were worth six points, while defenders Zat Knight (Aston Villa) and David Wheater (Middlesbrough) also collected six points each after scoring and keeping clean sheets.

Aston Villa, Blackburn, Liverpool, Middlesbrough, Manchester United, Newcastle and West Ham all kept clean sheets.

More than 2,600 people have already registered to play.
