Troy Deeney names his Premier League team of the week after every round

After each round of Premier League fixtures, former striker and regular pundit Troy Deeney selects a 11-man team based on the weekend's performances. His picks, published on BBC Sport, often prompt debate among fans and pundits.

What is Troy's team of the week?

After every set of Premier League matches this season Troy Deeney chooses an 11-player "team of the week" reflecting who impressed him most across the weekend. The selection is published on BBC Sport and is intended to highlight standout individual contributions rather than predict future form.

Why the feature matters

Deeney's weekly XI attracts attention because of his experience in the English top flight and his outspoken broadcasting style. His choices often recognise players who produced match-winning moments, defensive solidity or eye-catching attacking displays, and they can spark conversations about who was rightly included or overlooked.

How he decides and common reactions

The selections are subjective and based on Deeney's assessment of performances, tactical impact and big-game moments. Supporters and commentators frequently agree with some inclusions while disputing others, making the piece a regular talking point after each round of fixtures.

Where to read and join the debate

You can find each week's team on the BBC Sport website following the final matches of a weekend or midweek round. Fans are invited to compare their own line-ups with Deeney's and share their views on social media or in comment sections, continuing the debate over who truly shone in the latest Premier League action.
