Here are his choices for this week. Do you concur? Share your thoughts in the comments section below.

**Alphonse Areola (West Ham)**: Areola was instrumental in West Ham’s 2-2 draw against Bournemouth, preventing what could have been a devastating defeat. His exceptional goalkeeping kept the team in the match and could prove crucial for their season.

**Daniel Munoz (Crystal Palace)**: Munoz is making a strong case for Player of the Season, consistently outshining his peers. While much attention may be on Arsenal players, his performances have been on another level.

**Murillo (Nottingham Forest)**: Few would have predicted Murillo’s pivotal role in Nottingham Forest’s stunning 3-0 victory over Liverpool at Anfield. His performance showcased his evolution into a formidable presence on the pitch, reminding fans of his form from last season.

**Malick Thiaw (Newcastle)**: Thiaw struggled in Italy, but he has transformed into a dominant force at Newcastle. His strength and elegance on the ball indicate that he has found his ideal environment to thrive.

**Ferdi Kadioglu (Brighton)**: Though not a traditional left-back, Kadioglu has proven to be a valuable addition to Brighton’s squad. The decision to let Pervis Estupinan go raised eyebrows, but Brighton’s track record suggests they know talent when they see it.

**Sander Berge (Fulham) and Elliot Anderson (Nottingham Forest)**: Both players are crucial to their teams’ successes. While goalscorers often steal the spotlight, Berge and Anderson’s contributions in breaking up play and supporting the attack are vital for their teams’ cohesion.

**Eberechi Eze (Arsenal)**: Eze has silenced critics with his remarkable performance in the North London derby, scoring three goals. His composure and ability to dictate play have made him a standout player this week.

**Morgan Rogers (Aston Villa)**: Rogers has earned his place in the lineup with consistent performances, particularly after scoring two important goals against Leeds that turned the game in his team’s favor. His early-season struggles seem to be behind him.

**Callum Wilson (West Ham)**: Initially lacking his usual sharpness, Wilson made a remarkable comeback with an outstanding performance that included two exceptional goals, showcasing his skill and determination.

**Harvey Barnes (Newcastle)**: Barnes, often more effective off the bench, stepped up due to an injury to Anthony Gordon. Despite missing a key opportunity against Manchester City, he displayed mental resilience by scoring twice, contributing significantly to his team’s success.

**Sean Dyche (Nottingham Forest)**: Dyche devised an impressive game plan that nearly led to a significant win for Forest. His tactical acumen could have resulted in a scoreline of five or six goals.
