Striker Emmanuel Adebayor was the top scorer in the Shropshire Star's Fantasy Football game this week after collecting nine points for a hat trick in Arsenal's 5-0 win over Derby.

Teammate Francesc Fabregas was among the points again with seven for a goal and two assists.

Manchester City winger Martin Petrov was involved in each of his side's goals in an entertaining 3-3 draw with Fulham. Petrov scored two and set-up another to pick up eight points.

Elsewhere, Newcastle United's Charles N'Zogbia earned seven points for a goal and two assists, while Aston Villa keeper Scott Carson got five after adding an assist to a clean sheet.

Hameur Bouazza (Fulham) and Dave Kitson (Reading) both scored five points for a goal and an assist.

Arsenal, Aston Villa, Birmingham City, Liverpool, Manchester United and Portsmouth kept clean sheets.

With a £2,000 top prize up for grabs, along with nine £100 manager of the month prizes – all provided by Wickes – there is still time for new players to join.

If you fancy yourself as a rival to Sir Alex Ferguson, Arsene Wenger or Rafael Benitez, this is your chance to prove it.
