Sean had immense faith in Aston Villa in Gameweek 15 and Unai Emery’s men didn’t let him down.

The Villains may be on a mightily impressive streak of home wins but it was still a gutsy move to activate Park the Bus ahead of Arsenal’s trip to the Midlands.

As it happened, the hosts won 1-0 with Emi Martinez (£3.1m), Lucas Digne (£2.9m), Ezri Konsa (£3.1m) and Pau Torres (£2.8m) contributing to the clean sheet.

Matty Cash (£3m) came off the bench but didn’t play enough minutes to earn clean sheet points but that was put right on Thursday night when the Poland international started against Zrinjski Mostar in the Europa Conference League.

Cash and Torres were helpfully substituted before Villa conceded a late equaliser to the Bosnia and Herzegovina outfit, meaning they kept their clean sheets points.

The Spanish centre-back was Sean’s best-performer and his 14 points were doubled to 28 by the Park the Bus Booster.

Generally, it’s wise to switch to a formation with five defenders when activating Park the Bus but it’s hard to criticise Sean too much given he’s just won £100 from a fantasy football game.

The consistently impressive Phil Foden (£5.2m) was Sean’s best midfielder by virtue of an eight-point return against Luton – a decent effort considering he didn’t score or assist either of Manchester City’s goals.

The England star scooped three bonus points, registered two shots on target, earned one point for two tackles, and played 89 minutes.

Bukayo Saka (£6.7m) is the only player with more bonus points than Foden this season.

Arsenal’s No7 earned three of them at Villa Park despite his side’s defeat.

Lucas Paqueta (£4.1m) chipped in with seven points across his two fixtures against Fulham and Freiburg.

West Ham suffered a 5-0 thrashing at the hands of the Cottagers but they rallied to beat the Bundesliga side 2-0 on Thursday night to finish top of their Europa League group.

Only Joao Palhinha (£3.4m) has made more tackles than Paqueta in all competitions this season.

Erling Haaland’s (£7.9m) unexpected absence in Gameweek 16 caught the vast majority of Dream Team managers off guard.

The prolific poacher was also the most-popular captain by a wide margin and his foot injury is the main reason Gameweek 16 was a low-scoring affair across the board.

Alexander Isak (£4.3m) didn’t contribute much to Sean’s success either with just three points against Tottenham and Milan.

Fortunately, the ever-reliable Mohamed Salah (£6.7m) came through with a goal and assist against Crystal Palace for a ten-point return.

The Egyptian superstar didn’t get on the pitch against Union Saint-Gilloise but he will surely be a key figure for Liverpool during the knockout stages when he returns from the Africa Cup of Nations.

Fair play, Sean, your unwavering faith in Aston Villa’s defence against a strong Arsenal side proved to be a stroke of genius – spend the cash wisely!
