Schar had an epic game against Tottenham Hotspurs and did extremely well to contain the likes of Harry Kane, his passes from the back and distribution of long balls from the back where key against Spurs.

Right Back – Bjorn Engels

Only 24 years old but Engels has been brilliant for Aston Villa in all three games he has featured for them. His greatest asset as a defender is he offers the back line nothing but protection.

Right Wing – Salah/Liverpool

Arsenal tends to be Salah’s favorite team to play against, as he always ends up scoring or assisting against them. He won a penalty against Arsenal and then scored a beautiful individual goal to give Liverpool all three points.

Center Midfield – David Silva/City

With Kevin De Bruyne fully fit again it is going to be difficult for PL teams to stop City from clincing their 3rd title, it was another weekend again where Mr De Bruyne delivered another world class performance for Manchester City.
