Troy Deeney's Premier League Team of the Week: Isak, Konsa, Mitchell, Barnes Shine

Troy Deeney Picks His Premier League Team of the Week

After each set of Premier League fixtures, Troy Deeney shares his picks for the standout performers in his team of the week. Here are the players and manager he selected this round. Do you agree with his choices?

Goalkeeper

  • David Raya (Arsenal): Made several crucial saves again, proving why many see him as the league’s top goalkeeper. He consistently delivers big moments when needed.

Defenders

  • Ezri Konsa (Arsenal): Delivered a solid display, including a key tackle on Morgan Rogers. He fits seamlessly into an already strong Arsenal squad and might even be indispensable at right-back once all players return from injury.
  • Ronald Araujo (Liverpool): Previously criticized for defensive lapses at Barcelona, Araujo has impressed at Liverpool, adapting well to playing right-back in tough situations.
  • Tyrick Mitchell (Crystal Palace): Scored two goals from left-back and remains a consistent performer who often flies under the radar.

Midfielders

  • Harvey Barnes (Newcastle): Netted a goal with a precise finish into the far corner. Despite less attention compared to others like Anthony Elanga, Barnes has been outstanding.
  • Martin Odegaard (Arsenal): The captain and leader continues to shine, showing why any talk of letting him go seems baffling.
  • Cody Gakpo (Liverpool): Created two goals from midfield, maintaining composure and high performance despite transfer speculations linking him to other clubs.
  • Cesar Palacios (Fulham) & Vitaly Janelt (Brentford): Both midfielders quietly do their job well, rarely grabbing headlines unless they score, but their importance is clear to anyone watching closely or who’s played the game.

Forwards

  • Alexander Isak (Liverpool): Despite criticism about his form and injuries last season, Isak has shown quality this term. One scoreless game doesn't diminish the fact that he was once tipped for the Golden Boot.
  • Kai Havertz (Arsenal): Recognized as Arsenal’s top striker, he consistently proves his worth and finishing ability, standing out among teammates.

Manager

  • David Moyes (Everton): Faced with a poor transfer window and loss of attacking options, he still managed to deliver a positive result for Everton.
