Deeney’s Defensive Picks: A Mix of Experience and Youth
Deeney’s defensive picks this week are a mix of experience and youth, with a few surprises thrown in for good measure. First up is David Raya, the Arsenal goalkeeper who made some unbelievable saves against Aston Villa. Raya’s rebound save from Ollie Watkins was particularly impressive, and it’s clear that he’s a key player for the Gunners. Next up is Cristian Romero, the Tottenham defender who got the goal from the corner and was a force to be reckoned with against Everton. Romero’s aerial threat was a major concern for the Toffees, and he dealt with it admirably.
Deeney also picked Max Kilman, the West Ham defender who was a monster for the Hammers. Kilman was under a lot of pressure, but he stepped up and played the ball that sent Jarrod Bowen away to score. His performance was reminiscent of a young Rio Ferdinand, and it’s clear that he’s a player to watch. Finally, Deeney chose Micky van de Ven, the Tottenham defender who got an assist and dealt with everything Everton threw at him. Van de Ven’s surging run for Son Heung-min’s second goal was particularly impressive, and it’s clear that he’s a quality player.
Deeney’s Midfield Picks: A Mix of Creativity and Steel
Deeney’s midfield picks this week are a mix of creativity and steel, with a few players who are sure to make an impact. First up is Kevin de Bruyne, the Manchester City midfielder who is simply the best player in his position. De Bruyne was unbelievable against Ipswich, and it’s clear that he’s enjoying himself on the pitch. He’s a player who always seems to be one step ahead of the opposition, and his vision and passing range are unparalleled.
Deeney also picked Emile Smith Rowe, the Fulham midfielder who played with a freedom and creativity that was a joy to watch. Smith Rowe scored a really good goal and created problems all day for the opposition. He’s a player who is growing into the game, and it’s clear that he’s a key player for Fulham. Finally, Deeney chose Cole Palmer, the Chelsea midfielder who is probably the best number 10 at the moment. Palmer is so calm and cool on the pitch, and he demands respect from his teammates. He’s a player who is always looking to create chances, and his vision and passing range are exceptional.
Deeney’s Forward Picks: A Mix of Pace and Power
Deeney’s forward picks this week are a mix of pace and power, with a few players who are sure to make an impact. First up is Son Heung-min, the Tottenham forward who was the best player on the pitch by a mile. Son started through the middle and moved out to the left, getting a couple of goals and causing problems all day for the opposition. He’s a player who is always looking to create chances, and his pace and power are a major threat to any defense.
Deeney also picked Noni Madueke, the Chelsea forward who was fantastic against Wolves. Madueke scored a hat-trick and could have had five or six on another day. He’s a player who is always looking to create chances, and his pace and power are a major threat to any defense. Finally, Deeney chose Erling Haaland, the Manchester City forward who is a monster of a man. Haaland plays again and scores three again, and it’s clear that he’s a player who is always looking to score goals.
Deeney’s Manager of the Week: Fabian Hurzeler
Deeney’s manager of the week is Fabian Hurzeler, the Brighton manager who is the youngest in the Premier League. Hurzeler beat Manchester United on his home debut, and it’s clear that he’s a manager who is going to make an impact.
