James Trafford (Leeds): It’s been a big-pressure move for Trafford going to Leeds. I think at the World Cup with England he thought, ‘I should be playing more’ and he obviously didn’t get the time and needed a move away. He produced a strong performance for Leeds at Nottingham Forest and was one of the few goalkeepers to keep a clean sheet.

Keane Lewis-Potter (Brentford): He was excellent defensively and attacking wise and got his goal. He is one of Brentford’s underrated players and sort of sums up their team. Nobody speaks about him or Brentford but they hammered Tottenham.

Nobel Mendy (Hull City): He was so good and powerful. He offered so much defensively to Hull and scored their second goal. He was a real powerhouse. Hull will definitely need him and he is one of those defenders where you think, ‘I don’t want to play against him’.

Maxence Lacroix (Chelsea): Lacroix just added a level of experience and calmness to Chelsea and also got an assist. He read the game and understood what was needed and provided the maturity that will add so much to Chelsea going forward. It was a very good debut for the France defender.

Maxim de Cuyper (Brighton): He scored, had an assist and was excellent for Brighton. Opponents Aston Villa were poor, but if you watched the first 20 minutes you would see he was really aggressive and really set the tone with the pressure.

Marc Guehi (Man City): I’ll have Guehi in as my holding midfielder. He should have scored two against Bournemouth because he missed a massive chance before he ended up scoring. But he got the equaliser and offered a lot more of a calming presence than City’s £116m record signing Elliot Anderson – Guehi controlled the game a little bit more.

Vitaly Janelt (Brentford): He is one of those big, powerful and dominant players who does the basics really well. He mixed that with a goal against Spurs and you don’t really speak about him, but he was always the one breaking up play and doing the horrible things really well.

Christos Tzolis (Arsenal): A lot of people are talking about Arsenal and how they’re great. That is absolutely true. And so is the bit of business they did bringing this young man in from Club Brugge. So many goals and assists he brings to the team, but also a calming influence and tenacity as well. Look at Gabriel Martinelli, Leandro Trossard, he feels to me like both of them in one. He has a lot more output than those guys. He’s going to be a beast for this year.

Anthony Elanga (Newcastle): Last season I though he was treated poorly by Eddie Howe because he was one that kept being put on the bench, being introduced late or would be the first one to come off. But he showed in a new formation, under a new manager and somebody who believes in him that he can use his pace and power. As a result he looks like a completely different player and he looked happy. He ran past Milos Kerkez like he wasn’t there despite the Liverpool left-back having a five-yard start and produced an unbelievable finish for his goal.

Cole Palmer (Chelsea): One we were all talking about, and should’ve gone to the World Cup with England. Feels like he’s got a point to prove, feels like he’s been working hard. The injuries from last year skewed everyone’s vision. Everything he did at Fulham was positive. Ran forward with pace, looked like he could move. He had those issues with the groin but now he’s chopping and turning.

Joao Pedro (Chelsea): My old Watford team-mate and someone who will make everyone question when they said he wasn’t good enough. He’s going to have a breakout year.

Sergej Jakirovic (Hull City): Tactically brilliant and had a gameplan for Manchester United. His side gave a bit of space away but wouldn’t get transitioned on, gave away a lot of cheap fouls. Went forward in the wide areas, crossed it and finished the action. He was very impressive in the Championship last year, spoke well but never got too high or too low. He’ll take a few by surprise but I’m concerned they won’t have the quality in the team. For now, who cares?
