Welcome to all Premier League fans, we are here with our final EPL Team of the Week (Gameweek 18) list for this year.

We have picked the best players from all these games in our best team list for this week.. Let's not waste any more time then, scroll down below to find out our EPL team of the week. 


Premier League/EPL Team of the Week - Gameweek 18 (GW18)

Goalkeeper

Martin Dúbravka (Burnley)

Martin Dúbravka is our best Goalkeeper choice for Gameweek 18 Premier League Team of the Week after his solid performance against Everton. He made a total of 6 saves and helped his team keep a clean sheet.


Defenders

Patrick Dorgu (Manchester United)

Patrick Dorgu had his best ever performance for Manchester United so far against Newcastle. He was a constant threat throughout the match with his dangerous attacking runs, and his volley was nothing less than a spectacular goal.


Micheal Keane (Everton)

Micheal Keane has been one of the most underrated defenders in the Premier League so far, especially if you consider his partner in crime James Tarkowski often gets more credit. Nonetheless, he was solid against Burnley.


Micky van de Ven (Tottenham)

Micky van de Ven played a starring role in a much needed victory for Spurs against Crystal Palace. He was impressive at the back and kept away the attacking threat from Crystal Palace.


Diogo Dalot (Manchester United)

Ruben Amorim has been criticized widely for his immense trust in Diogo Dalot. However, no one can argue that he was fantastic in the game against Newcastle. The Portuguese still have time to prove the doubters wrong.


Midfielders

Kevin Schade (Brentford)

Kevin Schade is slowly establishing himself as one of the most promising young wingers in the Premier League. He scored a stunning hat-trick in what was a huge 4-1 win for Brentford against Bournemouth.


Martin Ødegaard (Arsenal)

Martin Ødegaard has been heavily criticized in the past few months for failing to replicate his old best form with the club, but he was fantastic in the game against Brighton. Hopefully this is the beginning of a great run for him.


Ryan Gravenberch (Liverpool)

Ryan Gravenberch is arguably Liverpool's most important player from a tactical perspective. He was impressive in the game against Wolves, and even scored a goal.


Florian Wirtz (Liverpool)

Florian Wirtz has finally arrived in the Premier League, scoring his first EPL goal for Liverpool against Wolves. The only way is up from here for the former Bayer Leverkusen star.


Rayan Cherki (Manchester City)

Rayan Cherki has been nothing less than fabulous since his move to Manchester City from Lyon. He scored one and assisted another to help City claim 3 points against Nottingham Forest.


Forwards

Ollie Watkins (Aston Villa)

Chelsea were in complete control against Aston Villa through the game, until Unai Emery brought Ollie Watkins from the bench and delivered the ultimate blow. A solid cameo that ended in a superb brace to help Villa claim a huge victory.


So the following is our Premier League Team of the Week for Gameweek 18 (GW18):
