Matchday 6 of the UEFA Champions League was packed full of entertainment and notable results with seven players picking up 13 Fantasy points or more.

UEFA.com runs down those top-performing players on #UCLfantasy, presented by Playstation.

GOALKEEPERS

Only one goalkeeper came away from Matchday 6 with a double-figure return: Brest's Marco Bizot (€4.5m). The 33-year-old made five saves, helping his side to a crucial 1-0 win over PSV Eindhoven and earning the Player of the Match award.

Of the ten goalkeepers to keep clean sheets, two represent Premier League clubs. Alisson Becker (€6.0m) marked his return to Champions League action with a seven-point score after also making five saves while the highly-owned David Raya (€5.6m) gained six points from Arsenal's 3-0 victory against Monaco, making it three clean sheets from three at home in the league phase.

However, neither Alisson nor Raya could match the eight-point haul of Bologna's Łukasz Skorupski (€4.6m), who shut out Benfica by pulling off six saves. Opposite number Anatoliy Trubin (€4.5m) picked up six points himself in the goalless draw.

DEFENDERS

It was another profitable round of games for owners of Bayer Leverkusen defenders, but while Jeremie Frimpong (€5.6m) and Alejandro Grimaldo (€5.7m) registered six and seven points respectively, Nordi Mukiele (€4.5m) took the headlines. The Paris Saint-Germain loanee scored Leverkusen's late winner and, with four ball recoveries and the Player of the Match award, finished on 16 Fantasy points, the most of any defender on Matchday 6.

For Paris themselves, popular Fantasy full-back Achraf Hakimi (€5.5m) once again delivered from an attacking perspective, setting up two goals in a 3-0 win in Salzburg. This helped him to 13 points, a score matched by Stuttgart's Josha Vagnoman (€4.4m), who scored one and set up another in a 5-1 victory against Young Boys.

There were also large returns for Hakimi's Paris team-mate Nuno Mendes (€5.6m), who finished on 12 points, and Arsenal centre-back William Saliba (€5.5m), whose 13 ball recoveries helped him to a ten-point score.

MIDFIELDERS

The highest Fantasy score from any player on Matchday 6 was Bukayo Saka (€8.9m), who earned 19 points against Monaco thanks to two goals and an assist. The Arsenal midfielder now has three goals, two assists, consecutive Player of the match Awards and 32 Fantasy points over the past two matchdays.

With Harry Kane out injured, two Bayern München midfielders scored heavily in a 5-1 at Shakhtar Donetsk. Michael Olise (€6.6m) scored twice on the way to 15 points in a Player of the Match performance, while Jamal Musiala (€9.0m) added a goal and assist to five ball recoveries, accumulating 11 points.

Also in the matchday's top three highest-scoring midfielders was Fabian Rieder (€4.6m), the bargain-priced Stuttgart player registering 12 Fantasy points after a hat-trick of assists.

FORWARDS

Fantasy managers who transferred in Atlético de Madrid forwards for Matchday 6 were well rewarded. Julián Alvarez (€8.1m) opened the scoring against Slovan Bratislava and produced seven points, but it was Antoine Griezmann (€9.1m) who proved most profitable, striking twice in a 3-1 win to pick up 13.

The only forward to match Griezmann's Fantasy tally on Matchday 6 was Borussia Dortmund's Serhou Guirassy (€7.8m), who has now recorded more points (46) than any other player in his position over the course of the league phase, although his double against Barcelona was not enough to prevent a 2-3 defeat.

A third striker who delivered a double-figure score was Vinícius Júnior (€11.2m) with a goal, assist and ten points in a crucial 3-2 win for Real Madrid at Atalanta. The Brazilian has been extremely productive for owners when available, gaining 34 points in his last three European appearances.
