Danny Caro's Team of the Week: October 8

2. JOSH BURCHHARDT (NL Galaxy) - "got his goal and was composed all game. He really is cementing his place in the team and Is making arriving at the back stick his trademark"

3. AARON BENJAMIN (Brook Farm Rovers) - "worked tirelessly up and down the left side as left back and then left winger. Constantly won his individual battles and drove the team forward"

4. GRANT BATES (Temple Fortune) - "yet another magnificent performance from Batesy. He’s really come into his own in the past few weeks and this was another 10/10 performance. He showed strength and confidence in his defensive work and was incredibly composed in possession too. I can’t speak highly enough of him at the moment, he’s proving to be one of our most important assets"

5. BEN SCHWARZMANN (MLFC Blue) - showed great leadership qualities against Faithfold DocMM White

6. MAX FOSTER (HMH) - "had an awesome man-of-the-match debut marshalling the defence"

7. JAMES MILLET (Hertswood Vale) - "it’s really difficult to keep our little magician out of the headlines this season. James has picked up exactly where he left off last season with eight goals in his first four games, but his performances are more than just his goal stats. James is a true leader on the pitch, linking up the team with his brilliance both on and off the ball. Grabbed a win in his first game as captain, stepping up when regular captain James Neidle wasn’t available"

8. NIGEL GOLDTHORPE (Scrabble) - Mr Reliable chipped in with a goal against Paris Saint-Jewmain (Ed. about as close as he'll ever get to scoring against a European team!)

9. HARRY GRAHAM (Hertswood Vale) - "Grabbed his first goal of the season, and his first for Vale since last November with a well-taken goal on the stroke of half-time. A brilliant performance off the bench, and caused their defence all kinds of problems, holding up play throughout to link up the rest of the team"

10. JONO GAON (Hampstead Ducks) - match-winning hat-trick against West Hamdillah

11. LUKE LEWIS (NL Galaxy) - "strong performance up front. Added a brace to his goal tally for the season - both being long-range finesses and gave the Bayern centre-backs a nightmare throughout"

STAR MAN: Max Foster (HMH)

MANAGER: Jon Yantin (Scrabble)

REFEREE: Neal Cohen (Temple Fortune vs Faithfold DocMM Green)
