In a week where many midfielders and forwards scored 2 goals, five-time Ballon d’Or winner Cristiano Ronaldo and Naija midfield marshal Wilfred Ndidi lead the line for My11 Round 15 Team of the Week. We will be looking at a 3-4-3 formation.
Goalkeeper:
Jaume Doménech | The 30-year-old goalkeeper was in fine form against Barcelona, helping Los Che salvage a point against the Catalan giants. He made 7 saves in all and he saved a penalty from Lionel Messi.
Defenders:
Achraf Hakimi | The former Real Madrid right-back has picked up his Dortmund form, adding to the team’s goals from his defensive position. He scored Inter’s first goal in their 2-1 win over Spezia, and defensively, he won 5 tackles, more than any other player on the field.
Stefan Radu | The Romanian was a solid rock defensively as Lazio defeated Napoli, helping the team keep a clean sheet. He made 2 tackles, 3 interceptions, and 6 clearances. He had 83 touches, more than any other Sky Blues player.
John Stones | The Englishman is now living up to the hype before joining the Cityzens, and he put up another good performance in the 1-0 win over Southampton. He made 1 tackle, 2 interceptions, 4 clearances, and blocked 2 shots, helping the team keep a clean sheet.
Midfielder:
Mohamed Salah | The Egyptian played for just 33 minutes in Liverpool’s 7-0 thumping of Crystal Palace, but his impact was outstanding with 2 good goals and an assist.
Wilfred Ndidi | The Naija Super Eagles star continues to prove why he is Leicester’s most important player with another man of the match performance, nullifying the entire Tottenham midfield. He was voted the best player in the encounter.
Scott McTominay | McTominay had his best goal return in a game for Manchester United and did it in style. He scored 2 goals in the first 3 minutes of the Red Devil’s 6-2 thrashing of Leeds United, before providing an assist for Daniel James.
Luka Modric | The 35-year-old has impressed a lot and many are asking if he truly is 35 years, and in Real Madrid's 3-1 win over Eibar, the Croatian was solid. With his brilliant movements, he had more dribbles than any other player, scoring the second goal in the match.
Forward:
Tammy Abraham | The Nigerian-born Chelsea star was back into the starting line-up in the London derby against West Ham, and he repaid the manager’s faith by getting on the score sheet. He scored 2 goals in the 3-0 win for the Blues.
Luis Suarez | The former Barcelona forward is enjoying life at the capital, and in Atletico Madrid's 3-1 win over Elche, Suarez hit 3 shots, 2 were on target and the two shots on target were goals for the Uruguayan.
Cristiano Ronaldo | The five-time Ballon d’Or put his penalty miss in the last match behind and he had an impressive performance in Juventus’ 4-0 win away to Parma. The Portuguese scored 2 goals from his 2 shots on target.
Manager:
Brendan Rodgers | The Irishman outsmarted Jose Mourinho as Leicester City defeated Tottenham Hotspur away from home, and the former Liverpool manager used Naija star Wilfred Ndidi to nullify Spur midfield, winning all 3 points and keeping a clean sheet.
