Here is this week’s line-up, in a 4-4-2 formation. Have a scroll through and see whether you agree with our selection or not, posting your own thoughts and line-ups in the comments section.

Goalkeeper – Jamal Blackman (Rotherham United): Has had his critics this season, but produced an adept and convincing performance in registering a clean sheet at Derby as the Millers secured a huge three points in their Championship survival quest.

Defence – Callum Brittain (Barnsley): A player who has been ultra-consistent since arriving at Barnsley. His vibrant display was one of the few positives from a disappointing night against Swansea. Went close with a scorching shot.

Andy Butler (Doncaster Rovers): With his new deal freshly signed, the veteran gilded it with a commanding performance in the heart of the backline as Rovers maintained their excellent form with victory at Swindon.

Tom Anderson (Doncaster Rovers): Rovers’ new captain has been wonderfully consistent this term and stood tall when the bullets were flying at the County Ground as Swindon pressed.

Romoney Crichlow (Huddersfield Town): Solid enough on a difficult afternoon for injury-hit Town at Watford. Playing against Premier League class opponents, Crichlow did not look overawed and this will have been another decent afternoon in his education.

Midfield – Jack Harrison (Leeds United): On the day, Harrison was comfortably the best Leeds player against Brighton and took the fight to the visitors. Went agonisingly close in the first half and his trickery and close control caused problems for Albion.

George Honeyman (Hull City): Stepped up to plate for spells for Hull and was the dominant force in the engine room. Such an important player for the Tigers.

Jamie Lindsay (Rotherham United): If at first, you don’t succeed… After seeing an effort cleared off the line in the second half at Derby, Lindsay persisted and grabbed a priceless winner for the Millers. It was just reward for an outstanding non-stop display by the Scot, who was here, there and everywhere.

Matt Crooks (Rotherham United): Produced an assertive and threatening performance and Derby struggled to handle him, just as Everton toiled against him on the previous Saturday. At his best, he is a massively important player for the Millers.

Forwards – David McGoldrick (Sheffield United): The nearest thing that the Blades possess to a ‘go-to’ man and he is one of their few players who can hold their heads up high this season.

Glanced home an excellent header, but unfortunately, it was to no avail. Was not cowed by Tottenham.

Fejiri Okenabirhie (Doncaster Rovers): Scored two clinical goals in the first half at Swindon and it crowned a very presentable performance by the forward, who took his goals tally for the season to nine.

Manager – Paul Warne (Rotherham United).
