Troy Deeney's Premier League Standouts: Who Shone This Week?

25 October 2026

As the Premier League rolls on, Troy Deeney is back with his latest picks for Team and Manager of the Week. He’s got some exciting selections this round, and we want to hear your thoughts in the comments below. Starting off in goal, it's Zion Suzuki from Aston Villa. He’s proven himself to be a big-game player, consistently making crucial saves, even though he couldn’t stop Erling Haaland’s strike. Suzuki not only protects the net but also sparks Villa's counter-attacks, showcasing his full range of skills. Next up is Matty Cash, also from Aston Villa, who delivered a captain’s performance from right-back. He faced off against Jeremy Doku without breaking a sweat, proving to be a robust presence. Cash exemplifies everything Villa stands for, recovering quickly whenever City threatened his side. Defensively, Troy has included James Hill from Bournemouth and Ezri Konsa from Arsenal. Both players have been rock-solid, doing their jobs quietly yet effectively. They might not steal the spotlight with flashy plays, but their defensive prowess speaks volumes. Konsa even added a goal to his name this week, while Hill celebrated each tackle like a victory. Then there's Adrien Truffert from Bournemouth. While Manchester United's struggles dominate headlines, Truffert deserves recognition for his contributions. With his attacking support from the left-back position and defensive reliability, he’s been pivotal in Bournemouth’s recent performances. Shea Charles from Fulham makes the cut as well. Although Deeney hesitated to include a Fulham player since they should be winning more often, Charles' impact in their recent victory at Coventry cannot be overlooked. He’s injected life into a Fulham side that has occasionally looked lackluster. Nico Gonzalez of Newcastle is another standout. He’s possibly the best addition to the squad this season, bringing pace and control to the game. Under the manager's guidance, the young players are thriving, and Gonzalez is at the heart of it all. Marcus Tavernier is pushing for a spot as a No. 10 after a fantastic week for Bournemouth. Following a shaky start to the season, they’ve turned things around with consecutive wins against Sunderland, AC Milan, and Manchester United. Tavernier has been instrumental, scoring crucial goals and helping the team find form. On the right flank for Bournemouth, Rayan has been a force, showcasing his speed and power. He even managed to score against Manchester United, though he could have had more. Mathys Tel from Tottenham is making waves too. After a rocky start at Spurs, he finally shone against Chelsea, displaying the potential that caught the club’s eye with his relentless effort and a stunning goal. Leading the line is Nicolas Jackson from Aston Villa, who scored twice against Manchester City. With seven goals this season, including four in the Premier League, his current form makes him an undeniable pick for Team of the Week. Finally, rounding off the selections is Bournemouth’s Marco Rose. In just eight days, he’s led the team to three massive victories. His calm demeanor has transformed Bournemouth’s fortunes since taking over, steering them away from early-season woes. What do you think of Troy's selections? Who would make your Team of the Week?
