Deeney’s Premier League Team of the Week: Full Line-Up Revealed

In his most recent picks, Deeney assembled a balanced XI that spans several clubs and playing styles. From dominant goalkeeping to attacking flair and defensive grit, the selection reflects performances that helped teams secure crucial points or put in notable displays. Included in this week’s team are several defenders praised for their solidity, midfielders who dictated play, and forwards whose contributions left a mark on match results. A manager of the week was also chosen, acknowledging tactical excellence.

Goalkeeper and Defence That Stood Out

Topping the team is Caoimhin Kelleher in goal, selected for a commanding clean sheet performance where he marshalled his area and made key saves that kept his side in control. Alongside him in defence are Michael Keane and Ibrahima Konaté, both recognised for their resilience and leadership at the back. Their inclusion points to defensive displays that were both robust and crucial in limiting opposition attacks.

The back line was rounded out by other top defenders who excelled in recent matches, with players like Robin Roefs and Trai Hume also earning recognition for their contributions on the flanks and central areas.

Midfield Engines Driving Their Teams Forward

In midfield, names like Jaka Bijol and Martin Zubimendi headline Deeney’s choices for their influential roles in control and transition. Bijol’s intelligent game reading and defensive contributions helped frustrate opposition attacks, while Zubimendi’s presence in midfield for Arsenal was noted for dictating tempo and aiding offensive plans.

Another midfield inclusion was James Garner of Everton, whose versatility and work rate across multiple positions stood out to Deeney and earned him a spot in the team of the week.

Attackers Who Made a Difference

Up front, attacking talents like Leandro Trossard, Yoane Wissa, and Jarrod Bowen featured in Deeney’s XI for their direct impact on goals and forward play. Trossard’s creativity and goal contributions helped drive his team’s attacking thrust, while Wissa added finishing quality. Bowen’s consistency and influence on game outcomes were also key reasons behind his selection.

This mix of forwards highlights both finishing prowess and overall offensive influence across the weekend’s fixtures.

Tactical Brain Behind the Scenes

Alongside the eleven players, Deeney also picked a Manager of the Week — a nod to the coach who made the most decisive tactical decisions or inspired a standout team performance. This week’s choice recognised a boss whose game-time adjustments and leadership helped his side secure an important result against tough opposition.
