Here are this week's choices. What's your opinion? Share your thoughts using the response area further down.

Shot-stopper

Alphonse Areola (West Ham): West Ham might have been six goals down at Bournemouth if it wasn't for him. Massive moment, rose to the occasion and showed top ability. Superb shot-stopping to help achieve a 2-2 draw. Defeat might have ruined their whole season.

Backline

Daniel Munoz (Crystal Palace): He's up there for player of the season. Fans mention Arsenal's squad. He's been the best performer by a country mile.

Murillo (Nottingham Forest): One would need to be a wild optimist to say 'Murillo nets and we'll beat Liverpool 3-0 at Anfield'. You could have gotten long shots on that. He shone. He is emerging as a dominant figure. He is truly a handful. Pleased to watch him perform similar to before.

Malick Thiaw (Newcastle): I observed him multiple matches earlier in Italy for AC Milan and he had difficulties because he was making mistakes. However with the Magpies he's impressed greatly. He displays really strong and imposing and seems polished. It appears he has secured a ideal club.

Ferdi Kadioglu (Brighton): Not naturally a full-back, leaning towards a contemporary style in attack. He is a wonderful signing for Brighton. Who would be surprised at them discovering another star out of nowhere? Many felt releasing Pervis Estupinan that was strange but the club is aware more than us.

Central players

Sander Berge (Fulham) and Elliot Anderson (Nottingham Forest): Similar players and they make it for the shared purpose. Their teams won, all discuss the scorers, but lacking these players the sides struggle. They are so good. They halt attacks, they support going forward.

Eberechi Eze (Arsenal): The man of the moment. A lot of followers, including my son, were questioning whether he was the man to lead them to success. A hat-trick in the key match and currently fans desire to honor him permanently of him. Scoring, calmness, he ran the show. The best player on the pitch.

Morgan Rogers (Aston Villa): Maybe this is point of agreement with Thomas Tuchel on - he has got to a point now where it will prove quite challenging to drop Morgan Rogers. I didn't think he began well this campaign, I think he seemed somewhat presumptuous and hoped he might have got a move to Chelsea, and likely desired it, but he seems to have settled down. Two great goals obviously against Leeds pulled his side when trailing. He was the difference maker.

Attackers

Callum Wilson (West Ham): I mentioned he doesn't look his typical form. He appeared as if he'd lost a yard. However, incredible. That's all I can say. He shone. Phenomenal in his approach and with his two finishes.

Harvey Barnes (Newcastle): A particularly intriguing player. He excels, often more effective as a substitute, but Anthony Gordon has an injury so he has to play. He failed to convert a great opportunity against Manchester City at 0-0 with his easiest shot. But to have the psychological strength to put himself in tough scenarios and net two was impressive.

Coach

Sean Dyche (Nottingham Forest): He comes in and outperforms Arne Slot. A superb tactical approach. It could have been multiple goals for Forest and few would dispute.
