Goalkeeper: Martin Dubravka (Slovakia) – 7.25

Despite his lack of playing time with Newcastle, Martin Dubravka remains Slovakia’s first choice goalkeeper and has played in their last two matches.

He couldn’t prevent Bruno Fernandes from securing a narrow 1-0 victory for Portugal last Friday, but he kept a clean sheet against Liechtenstein.

Right back: Kyle Walker (England) – 7.55

It may have taken him 77 caps, but Kyle Walker finally managed to take off for England in the goals department after scoring in the draw against Ukraine.

Fresh from his labyrinthine run and neat finish near the post, the full-back then impressed against Scotland yesterday and played the full 90 minutes north of the border.

Walker scored his first goal for the Three Lions and earned his side a 1-1 draw against Ukraine.

Central defender: Cristian Romero (Argentina) – 7.60

Two matches, two starts, two clean sheets.

Central defender: Ben Davies (Wales) – 7.35

Slowly but surely, Wales appear to be finding their feet under Rob Page, thanks in part to their crucial new defensive solidity this month.

Ben Davies was an integral part of that and helped his country draw 0-0 against a brilliant South Korean side before a 2-0 win over Latvia kept their Euro 2024 dream alive.

Left back: Diogo Dalot (Portugal) – 7.65

It’s just as well that Diogo Dalot put in a solid performance at left-back in Portugal’s 9-0 demolition of Luxembourg, because Manchester United need him there too.

He was rarely tested but acquitted himself superbly and helped the likes of Bruno Fernandes, Goncalo Ramos and Diogo Jota run wild in the Algarve.

Central midfielder: Christian Eriksen (Denmark) – 8.75

Christian Eriksen put the icing on the cake after scoring Denmark’s final goal in their 4-0 win over San Marino, a result which took them closer to Euro 2024.

He also played a crucial role in their victory in Finland the following match, after dictating the pace in an advanced role and laying the foundations for a last-minute winner.

Central midfielder: Rodri (Spain) – 8.15

Slightly overshadowed by his pivot partner in this XI, Rodri diligently held the fort during Spain’s drubbing of minnows Georgia and Cyprus.

Although he may not have scored, he set up Ferran Torres’ sixth goal in their sixth qualifying match and once again stood out for his metronomic qualities.

Rodri held strong for Spain in comprehensive victories over Georgia and Cyprus.

Right winger: Dejan Kulusevski (Sweden) – 8.20

Dejan Kulusevski, a man reborn at Tottenham this season, scored in Sweden’s 5-0 win over Estonia and also set up Robin Quaison for his fourth goal.

He was, however, unable to achieve a similar feat in the 3-1 defeat to Austria, although that did not prevent him from losing a place in that team.

Dejan Kulusevski has picked up where he left off with Spurs after scoring for Sweden this month.

Attacking midfielder: Bruno Fernandes (Portugal) – 9.05

Is there any real surprise that Bruno Fernandes is the highest rated player here?

After all, the playmaker scored the winner against Slovakia in Portugal’s opener before scoring and assisting again against Luxembourg.
