Football Park's EFL Under 21 Team of the Week

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.

Owen Goodman - AFC Wimbledon - 20 Years Old

Crystal Palace loanee made 4 excellent saves for AFC Wimbledon, two crucial saves to give Wimbledon all three points at home.

Alfie Gilchrist - Sheffield United - 20 Years Old

Sheffield United’s 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.

Sean Roughan - Lincoln City - 21 Years Old

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.

Johnly Yfeko - Exeter City - 21 Years Old

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.

Sol Sidibe - Stoke City - 17 Years Old

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.

David Ozoh - Derby County - 19 Years Old

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.

Kamari Doyle - Exeter City - 19 Years Old

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.

Charlie Savage - Reading - 21 Years Old

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.

Tom Bloxham - Shrewsbury Town - 20 Years Old

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.

Eliezer Mayenda - Sunderland - 19 Years Old

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 would’ve put Portsmouth to bed even quicker.

Mateo Joseph - Leeds United - 20 Years Old

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.
