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

What the report says

BBC Sport Football published Troy Deeney’s latest Premier League team and manager of the week, a regular feature that runs after each round of league matches. In the piece, Deeney selects standout performers based on recent results and asks readers to weigh in on whether they agree with his choices. The article was published 13 minutes ago and focuses on the current season’s form rather than a single broader league development.

Among the players Deeney highlighted were James Trafford of Leeds for a strong performance in a pressure situation at Nottingham Forest, Keane Lewis-Potter of Brentford after an impressive all-round display in a win over Tottenham, and Nobel Mendy of Hull City for defensive power plus a goal. He also picked Maxence Lacroix of Chelsea, praising a composed debut, and Maxim de Cuyper of Brighton after scoring twice in a dominant result against Aston Villa. Other names included Marc Guehi, Vitaly Janelt, Christos Tzolis, Anthony Elanga, Cole Palmer and João Pedro.

Deeney’s manager choice was Sergej Jakirovic of Hull City, whom he described as tactically well prepared for a match against Manchester United. The selections reflect how BBC Sport uses Deeney’s weekly picks to spotlight individual performances, while also prompting discussion about emerging players and managers who may be shaping the early part of the Premier League season. Where Deeney offered comparisons or long-range predictions, those remarks are his opinion rather than confirmed outcomes.
