Troy Deeney names Premier League Team of the Week

BBC football pundit Troy Deeney has named his Premier League Team of the Week, selecting an 11-player XI and a manager after the latest round of fixtures. The selections reflect standout performances across the league, featuring a mix of goal-savers, attackers and midfield conductors who helped shape results this week. The feature, published by BBC, invites readers to weigh in with their own picks in the comments.

Dubravka (Burnley) was named in goal, Tyrick Mitchell (Crystal Palace) and Neco Williams (Nottingham Forest) were listed on the back line, with Marcos Senesi (Bournemouth) and Sven Botman (Newcastle United) also included as the center-backs. In midfield, Ryan Gravenberch (Liverpool) supplied a goal, Alex Iwobi (Fulham) added a goal and an outstanding pass, and Anton Stach (Leeds) provided energy and control. Up front, Bruno Fernandes (Manchester United) was included after scoring his 100th United goal, Wilson Isidor (Sunderland) and Hugo Ekitike (Liverpool) provided attacking impetus. Leeds boss Daniel Farke was recognized as manager for guiding a comeback win away to Wolves.

Deeney singled out several performances as pivotal to the outcome of the week’s fixtures. He highlighted Dubravka’s key saves that kept Burnley competitive against Nottingham Forest, Mitchell’s all-round contribution in Palace’s win over West Ham, and the clean-sheet pair of Senesi and Botman. Williams’s attacking input and his goal-scoring threat were also noted, alongside Gravenberch’s strike that helped Liverpool maintain momentum as they chase another strong finish this season. Iwobi’s decisive goal and assist were praised, and Stach’s high-energy display since arriving at Leeds was described as a driving force for the team. Fernandes’s landmark strike for United mattered in a must-win context, while Isidor’s finish against Aston Villa and Ekitike’s consistent impact for Liverpool underscored the breadth of the selections.

Daniel Farke’s Leeds United tenure was singled out for the improvement shown in their win at Wolves, a result Deeney described as a sign of grit and resilience this season. The lineup shows players from Burnley to Sunderland and across the league who delivered in different ways, from goalkeeping and defense to midfield control and attacking finish.
