BBC pundit names his Premier League team of the week

BBC Sport commentator Troy has shared his selection of the most impressive Premier League performers from the recent round of fixtures, singling out five players for praise.

Nottingham Forest's James McAtee stood out for his display away at Anfield, where he was described as controlling the match from start to finish, finding pockets of space and driving play forward.

Manchester United captain Bruno Fernandes drew particular praise for scoring three goals and providing an assist in a single game, along with a near-miss attempt from inside his own half. The pundit noted that United's fortunes would look far bleaker without his contribution.

Manchester City's Rayan Cherki was highlighted as one of the most entertaining players to watch in world football, admired for his ball manipulation skills and independent decision-making on the pitch.

Newcastle's Anthony Elanga earned recognition for a second consecutive week, delivering another strong performance and goal. The commentator suggested Elanga appears to be rediscovering the pace and directness that once troubled defences during his time at Nottingham Forest.

Rounding out the selection is Newcastle forward Yoane Wissa, whose contribution through the middle of the pitch was described as underappreciated despite playing a significant role in the team's success — to the extent that it has been suggested a teammate could be sold as a result of his strong form.
