Troy Deeney’s Team of the Week: Eze, Watkins, Tonali, Welbeck, Munoz, Ramsdale

All of my midfielders scored but I’m not putting them in for their goals, I’m putting them in for their all-round play.

Tomas Soucek (West Ham): Sometimes you watch games and guys just stand out on the pitch. Whenever you watch West Ham, Soucek is one of those guys who stands out.

He has a solid defensive framework. He heads it, kicks it, tackles. Offensively he’s a threat as well. He’s a really important player for them and they’re going to have to think of a way of moving on from him at some point because him and Jarrod Bowen keep stepping up for West Ham.

Sandro Tonali (Newcastle): Tonali has been in this team three or four times already this season. He is an excellent, excellent footballer. There was talk about him being sold earlier on in the season. I can’t see how they can sell him, I really can’t.

Eberechi Eze (Crystal Palace): Eze is just a joke, isn’t he? Loads of people in Fantasy Football, like myself, will be really happy with his two goals.

I think at the start of the year he would’ve felt he’d get the move like Michael Olise. He didn’t get that move and got his head wrapped around it. Now he’s just developing into this special, special talent.

He’s taking games over, getting confidence. Also, looking towards the end of this season, there’s an opportunity to break into this England team on a consistent basis. I would have Eze in my team over Phil Foden every day of the week.
