Premier League-Team of the Week, Week 1

So we've now had the first round of matches and we've had a chance to see all the teams in action, however who were the best players from the week we've just had?

Goalkeeper-David De Gea (Manchester United)
The Spaniard may not have kept a clean sheet against Everton but Manchester United's young keeper managed to keep the Toffee's down to just a single goal in an outstanding performance that saw him making 3 or 4 fantastic saves.

Defence-Sylvian Distin (Everton)
Everton's Sylvain Distin may not have gotten the plaudits due to the performance of team mate Marouane Fellaini (also selected for the tam of the week) but he was a rock and thwarted United time and time again.

Defence-Branislav Ivanovic (Chelsea)
Serbian Branislav Ivanovic was one Chelsea's stand out players in their 2-0 victory at Wigan. His threat going forward, which resulted in the opening goal was tremendous and his work at the back in helping Chelsea keep a clean sheet was vital, a real stand out performance.

Defence-James Collins (West Ham)
West Ham's resigning of James Collins looks like a a steal having cost less than £3 million and his performance against former team Aston Villa was almost flawless as the West Ham defense completely neutralised the Villa attack.

Defence-John Arne Riise (Fulham)
The veteran defender was a star at the back for Fulham playing not only brilliantly to defend his teams goal (something that was rarely required) but playing some of the most delightful diagonal balls we saw over the opening weekend.

Midfield-Marouane Fellaini (Everton)
The Belgian Midfielder gave Manchester United a headache linking play between attack and defence amazingly well and capped off an excellent performance with a stunning header to secure Everton the win.

Midfield-Samir Nasri (Manchester City)
The talented Frenchman did everything a manager could ask of an attack minded midfielder as he ran Southampton ragged before scoring the winning goal in the game of the weekend. Nasri could have assisted in any number of goals had the strikers been able to finish off the chances he created.

Midfield-Nathan Dyer (Swansea)
The Swans had an incredible match and whilst Michu stole the headlines Dyer was a close second, bagging two himself as the two men really abused the QPR midfield and defense. If Dyer can perform like this week in and week out he should be expecting an England call up before the year is out.

Midfield-Michu (Swansea City)
Swansea's City's signing of Michu appears to have been as master-stroke as the Spaniard made an immediate impression on the Premier League bagging 2 goals creating another in Swansea's demolition job over QPR.

Attack-Santi Cazorla (Arsenal)
Arsenal's Spanish debutant Santi Cazorla made an excellent start to his Premier League Career doing everything but scoring as he ran Sunderland ragged in a truly wonderful performance. Cazorla looks very special on this performance.

Attack-Mladen Petric (Fulham)
Like Michu (see above) Mladen Petric got off to the dream start to his Premier League career bagging 2 goals in his debut as Fulham routed Norwich 5-0. To add to his goals Petric also played a major part in the goal by Alexander Kacaniklic.

Manager of the Week-Michael Laudrup
Whilst Martin Jol may feel he deserved the plaudits due to the performance of his team, it's hard not to feel that the Michael Laudrup just out did him. Laudrup took over a Swansea City who had lost their manager (Brendon Rodgers) and star player (Joe Allen) over summer but yet put on a performance that seemed to suggest that they are now Laudrup's team.
