Sportsmail's Team of the Week - has your club's talisman made the cut?

Gerrard may not fit into England head coach Fabio Capello's central midfield plans but he's the ideal man for that role in Championship Manager's Team of the Week.

Each week Sportsmail, in partnership with the boffins at the ultimate football management game - Championship Manager - will unveil the best XI from each round of top-flight matches.

Here's the full XI from the last weekend:

Take-off: Liverpool's Steven Gerrard celebrates his winner against Boro

1. Shay Given () - Saved Kevin Nolan's spot-kick in Newcastle's 1-0 win over Bolton, which was his one key save during the match. It looked like it would take something special to beat him.

2. Gianni Zuiverloon () - Unlucky to be on the losing side in West Brom's defeat to Everton. Impressed on his debut; and he'll be an asset for West Brom this season. Zuiverloon made 48 accurate passes during the game - 85.7% success rate

3. Patrice Evra () - Played well in United's first win of the season (at Portsmouth) but his tackles-won rate was just 54.5% of 11 tackles.

4. Brede Hangeland () - The 6ft 5in defender scored the only goal in Fulham's unexpected win over Arsenal. Hangeland made six successful clearances during the game to keep Wenger’s young guns firmly at bay.

5. Jamie Carragher () - It was his shot that deflected off Emmanuel Pogatetz for Liverpool's equalising goal. The centre-half had 61 total passes during the game, of which 50 (82%) were successful.

6. Elano () - The Brazilian playmaker scored two for City in their defeat of West Ham. He played for 77 minutes of the match,

7. Kieran Richardson () - Played 65 minutes, but scored the key first goal in Sunderland's memorable victory over Spurs.  

8. Stephen Ireland () - Orchestrated Man City's win over West Ham by setting up two of their goals. Had 43 total passes of which 35 (81.4%) were successful.

9. Steven Gerrard () - He scored a stunning last-minute winner for Liverpool. Could this be Liverpool's year? He only won two of only four tackles during the game, hinting that Benitez will keep him in an advanced, offensive role.

10. Ricardo Fuller () - The Jamaican was described by Tony Pulis as a "special player" after Stoke's first ever Barclays Premier League win over Villa. Fuller scored arguably the best goal of the weekend, despite only getting one attempt on target. A conversion rate like that could be crucial in the relegation fight.

11. El Hadji Diouf () - Diouf could be a key player for Sunderland this season, and he impressed in their win at Spurs. Diouf's partnership with Cisse looked like it could produce a lot of goals this year. The ex-Bolton striker made 21 passes during the game of which 17 (81%) were successful.
