Who has made Troy's Premier League team of the week?

What the report says

BBC Sport Football says pundit Troy Deeney has again named his Premier League team of the week after the latest round of fixtures, inviting readers to compare his picks with their own. The feature is a regular post-match roundup rather than a news report, and it focuses on standout performances from across the league.

Deeney’s selections include Brighton goalkeeper Bart Verbruggen, whom he credited with several key saves, and a back line featuring Archie Gray, Ezri Konsa, Jan Paul van Hecke and Jurrien Timber. He also highlighted midfielders Romeo Lavia and Declan Rice for their all-round influence, while forward-minded picks included Tatsuhiro Sakamoto, Johan Manzambi, Ollie McBurnie and Taiwo Awoniyi. In Deeney’s view, these players combined effort, defensive work, goals and assists to shape important results for their clubs.

The article also names Coventry manager Frank Lampard as Deeney’s manager of the week, with praise for Coventry’s aggressive display in a significant match against Sunderland. BBC Sport notes that Deeney’s choices are subjective and asks supporters to weigh in through the comments section.

The piece matters mainly as a weekly barometer of which players and coaches made the biggest impression in the Premier League and beyond, as assessed by a former top-flight striker and current BBC football pundit.
