Football Park's EFL Under 21 Team of the Week
Players 21 and under have taken the EFL by storm for yet another game week so we decided to look at this week's top performers.
Here are our picks.
Crystal Palace loanee made 4 excellent saves for AFC Wimbledon, two crucial saves to give Wimbledon all three points at home.
Sheffield Unitedβs new number 2 came off in the 59th minute against Watford but won 2/3 tackles, had 85% passing accuracy and over 50% of his aerial duels.
Outstanding this afternoon, @alfie_gilchrist π

Played every minute in League One so far. Won 100% ground duels and kept a clean sheet against an experienced Stevenage side despite going down to 10 men.
Excellent going forward and brilliant with recoveries, barely put a foot wrong all game completing the most dribbles from centre back as well as the most tackles.
Substituted on in the 74th minute, the 17 year old made an instant impact by getting the assist for the decisive winner. Only 6 touches and one of them lead to the game winner.

Man of the match performance from the jump. Completed the most dribbles, won the most duels, most tackles and scored an 89th minute goal to top it off.
Bossed the midfield for 60 minutes and grabbed his first goal of the season from outside the box. Creative in the final third but the end product was not on the teenagers side.
A regular for Reading, picked up his third goal of the season and a man of the match award against Charlton. Not only good going forward but also fantastic defensively with three interceptions and four recoveries.

Came off the bench and bagged a brace with ease. Two touches in the opposition's box and two goals to go home with. Almost grabbed himself an assist as well.
The Spaniard was the most creative on the pitch. Two assists and dangerous going forward with accurate passes and positive dribbling. Had two attempts saved which wouldβve put Portsmouth to bed even quicker.
That's three goal contributions in two games now. Excellent forward play and very tricky for defenders to deal with. Positive play and great dribbling was too much for the Hull defence to deal with.
He will shine all season long. Remember the name - Mateo Joseph! pic.twitter.com/TGjeRUYsz9
