Matchweek 12 Team of the Week (In a Nutshell)
I predicted two players who were selected by me in the Matchweek 12 Team of the Week!
Formation
4-4-2
Starting 11 (Players correctly predicted in bold)
Nick Pope (Burnley), Kyle Walker (Manchester City), Harry Maguire (Manchester United), Jannik Vestergaard (Southampton), Aaron Cresswell (West Ham), Thomas Soucek (West Ham), Mateusz Klich (Leeds United), Gylfi Sigurdsson (Everton), James Maddison (Leicester City), Jamie Vardy (Leicester City), Harry Kane (Tottenham)
Goalkeeper
Nick Pope (Goalkeeper- Burnley)- Pope was the reason why Burnley won against Arsenal. He made six saves to deny the opposition from hitting the back of the back of the net. It was a much needed three points that means Burnley are outside the relegation zone, for now.
Defenders
Kyle Walker (Right Back- Manchester City)- Walker made many a marauding run forward. His performance was outstanding as per usual. He helped Manchester City keep a clean sheet as well.
Harry Maguire (Centre Back- Manchester United)– Maguire was a big reason why Manchester United kept a clean sheet in the Manchester derby.
Jannik Vestergaard (Centre Back- Southampton)- Vestergaard was a pivotal part of Southampton not allowing Sheffield United to have any shots on target.
Aaron Cresswell (Left Back- West Ham)- Cresswell was a pivotal part of West Ham winning the game against Leeds United.
Midfielders
Thomas Soucek (Defensive Midfield- West Ham)- Soucek scored the opening goal of the match to give West Ham the lead.
Mateusz Klich (Centre Midfield- Leeds United)- Klich scored the opening goal in the 6th minute for Leeds United
Gylfi Sigurdsson (Centre Midfield- Everton)- Sigurdsson of Everton showed composure to score the only goal of the game from the penalty spot.
James Maddison (Attacking Midfield- Leicester City)- Maddison scored a brace, which was helped Leicester City beat Brighton and Hove Albion comfortably.
Strikers
Jamie Vardy (Striker- Leicester City)- Vardy scored a goal and provided two assists.
Harry Kane (Striker- Tottenham)- Kane broke the deadlock in the 23rd minute.
Matchweek 12 Team of the Week (Final Thoughts)
Matchweek 12 was a tough week to select My Team of the Week. I tried to select the Premier League Team of the Week in Matchweek 12 as accurately as possible. It was a tough Matchweek to select a team in, as there were seven out of 20 teams that kept a clean sheet. The 19 goals were scored by a total of 13 teams. In four out of seven games, the losing team had more possession than their opponents!
