The second weekend of Premier League action left us with plenty to look back on. Burnley stunned Liverpool, Arsenal failed to impress again, while Paul Pogba shone on his second Manchester United debut.
Fantasy football managers across the land now have two weeks of form to look over as they start to work out who this season's budget stars will be.
As you'll probably know by now, The Football Republic have partnered with FanDuel for an exciting new fantasy football tournament every weekend this season, with weekly cash prizes up for grabs if you can reach the top end of the table each weekend.
Gameweek 2's Team of the Week included a couple of surprise packages, with Hull City's Shaun Maloney (£4.7m) and Middlesbrough's Cristhian Stuani (3.9m) both proving that money isn't everything when it comes to choosing your starting lineup.

In fact, Stuani was this week's highest-scoring player in FanDuel despite being the cheapest possible attacking option ahead of Gameweek 2. He tallied two goals in Sunday's 2-1 derby win at Sunderland and also racked up points for firing two shots on target and completing three tackles.
Here's the best possible lineup you could have picked this weekend, with all prices applicable for the upcoming weekend's action:
