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

After every Premier League matchday, Troy Deeney shares his picks for the standout players and manager. Here are his selections this week—do you agree with the choices?

Goalkeeper

  • David Raya (Arsenal): Made several key saves again, reinforcing why he’s considered the league’s top goalkeeper. He constantly delivers in critical moments.

Defenders

  • Ezri Konsa (Arsenal): Put in a reliable performance, including a crucial tackle on Morgan Rogers. He’s fitting perfectly into Arsenal’s strong squad and might even have to play right-back when all players return.
  • Ronald Araujo (Liverpool): Though he faced criticism for some defensive errors at Barcelona, he’s been impressive for Liverpool, effectively filling in at right-back.
  • Tyrick Mitchell (Crystal Palace): Scored twice from left-back and remains one of the most consistent players around, though he often flies under the radar.

Midfielders

  • Harvey Barnes (Newcastle): Netted a well-placed goal into the far corner. Despite not grabbing headlines like others, he’s been outstanding.
  • Martin Odegaard (Arsenal): Leads by example as captain. It’s surprising some talked about offloading him given his influence and winning mentality.
  • Cody Gakpo (Liverpool): Created two goals from midfield, showing remarkable composure amid transfer speculation linking him to Spurs and Man City.
  • Cesar Palacios (Fulham) & Vitaly Janelt (Brentford): Both quietly effective and dependable. Their contributions often go unnoticed unless they score, but their importance is clear to anyone who watches closely.

Forwards

  • Alexander Isak (Liverpool): Often doubted due to injuries last season, including a broken leg. This season, some criticize him if he doesn’t score in one game. Remember, he was once tipped for the Golden Boot.
  • Kai Havertz (Arsenal): Arsenal’s best striker currently, proving himself consistently as their top finisher, despite talk about other forwards.

Manager

  • David Moyes (Everton): Faced a tough transfer window losing attacking options but still managed to get results.
