A round-up of all the highlights from matchweek 2 of the Premier League.

Nottingham Forest stopper Dean Henderson soared into third spot after making four saves and blocking a Declan Rice penalty to secure three points for his side and a clean sheet in the 1-0 win over West Ham.

Henderson could be the best shout as a Fantasy Premier League selection, currently valued at only £4.5m and owned by only 7.0 per cent of players – despite racking up 14 Fantasy points over the weekend.

Newcastle duo Fabian Schar (No 5) and Nick Pope (No 10) secured top-10 standings from two successive clean sheets, with Schar elevated further by his piledriver in the 2-0 win over Forest on the opening weekend.

How are the Power Rankings calculated?

The Power Rankings are based on points awarded to players for 35 different statistics – from goals and assists, to blocks and tackles. The standings take into account the number of points a player has earned up to the previous five matchdays of a season, with each previous game worth 20 per cent fewer points in incremental deductions.

Brentford midfielder Josh Desilva (No 6) netted his second goal in as many games in the 4-0 demolition of Manchester United and is a bargain Fantasy pick at £4.6m after collecting 14 Fantasy points in two games – owned by only 8.6 per cent of players.

Meanwhile, Tottenham workhorse Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg (No 7) scored the first of two levellers in a fiery 2-2 clash at Chelsea.
