EPL Team of the Week: Gameweek 30

Aaron Ramsdale and Bruno Fernandes played key roles in crucial wins for their clubs, while Richarlison impressed in attack to help Spurs secure a vital draw. So, who did enough to earn a place in our Team of the Week? Let’s take a look at the best-performing XI from the weekend’s action.

Goalkeeper: Aaron Ramsdale (Newcastle United)

Aaron Ramsdale takes the spot between the posts after stepping in for Nick Pope and delivering a composed performance in Newcastle’s memorable win away at Chelsea. The former Arsenal goalkeeper produced several important interventions and kept a clean sheet, playing a key role in securing the victory.

Central Defender: Sven Botman (Newcastle United)

Staying with the Magpies, Sven Botman delivered a commanding display at the back against Chelsea. The Dutchman kept the in-form Joao Pedro quiet and was instrumental in helping Newcastle maintain their clean sheet.

Central Defender: Axel Disasi (West Ham United)

Axel Disasi produced an outstanding performance against Manchester City while operating in the centre of a back three. The French defender marshalled West Ham’s defence superbly, making crucial tackles and clearances to help his relegation-threatened side secure a vital point.

Left Back: Lewis Hall (Newcastle United)

The former Chelsea left-back enjoyed an excellent outing against his old club. Lewis Hall defended resolutely and did well to limit the influence of Cole Palmer while contributing to Newcastle’s disciplined defensive performance.

Right Back: Konstantinos Mavropanos (West Ham United)

Konstantinos Mavropanos impressed on the right side of West Ham’s back three against Manchester City. The Greek defender delivered a strong defensive performance and also got on the scoresheet as the Hammers earned a valuable 1-1 draw against Pep Guardiola’s side.

Central Midfield: Kobbie Mainoo (Manchester United)

Kobbie Mainoo produced a commanding display in midfield on a big occasion against Aston Villa. The young midfielder consistently broke up play and followed it up with intelligent, measured distribution to help Manchester United control key moments in the game.

Central Midfield: Jacob Ramsey (Newcastle United)

Jacob Ramsey stepped up impressively to handle the responsibility of anchoring the midfield in Sandro Tonali’s absence. He outshone Enzo Fernandez, Moises Caicedo and Reece James on the day, using the ball intelligently and rarely wasting possession. Ramsey also showed his physical side, getting stuck in and helping his side control the midfield battle.

Right Midfield: Jarrod Bowen (West Ham United)

Jarrod Bowen delivered a solid performance against a star-studded Manchester City side. He was composed on the ball, worked tirelessly throughout the match, and provided an excellent corner that led to Konstantinos Mavropanos’ goal.

Left Midfield: Matheus Cunha (Manchester United)

Matheus Cunha delivered another impressive performance while operating on the left side of a three-man attack. The Brazilian was a constant threat, using his pace and intelligent movement to stretch Aston Villa’s defence and create space for his teammates. He scored to restore his side’s lead after the match had been level at 1-1, before Benjamin Sesko later added another.

Central Attacking Midfield: Bruno Fernandes (Manchester United)

Bruno Fernandes once again proved why he remains Manchester United’s standout performer. The Portuguese playmaker delivered another influential display and produced a brilliant pass for Matheus Cunha, which marked his 16th assist of the Premier League season. In doing so, he broke the club record previously held by David Beckham.

Forward: Richarlison (Tottenham Hotspur)

Richarlison delivered a tireless performance in attack against a tough Liverpool side. The Brazilian worked relentlessly throughout the match and capped off his display with a crucial goal that secured a vital victory for Spurs, a result that could prove significant in shaping their season.
