We sort the wheat from the chaff after the latest round of Premier League action, and it's no surprise to see the reigning champions well-represented in our Team of the Week after their 5-1 humbling of Kevin Keegan's hapless Newcastle.
HOW IT WORKS
We tot up the marks out of 10 awarded in five national newspapers - The Sun, The Mirror, The Mail, The Times and The Guardian - to create a total out of 50. The top player in each position will be rewarded with a spot in the team of the week, while the worst scorers will be named and shamed in our Flops XI.

TEAM OF THE WEEK
Wayne Rooney (pictured) is our player of the week after his well-taken brace helped Man United to a thumping 5-1 win at Newcastle. He was ably abetted by both Cristiano Ronaldo and Michael Carrick , whose performances of late may well have caught the eye of a certain Signor Capello. Elsewhere, Liverpool's hat-trick hero Fernando Torres is rewarded for single-handedly downing Middlesbrough, and Blackburn's David Dunn earns due recognition for his triple assist-making performance against Bolton.
1. Brad Friedel (Blackburn Rovers) - 35
2. Mario Melchiot (Wigan Athletic) - 36
3. Glen Johnson (Portsmouth) - 34
4. Paul Scharner (Wigan Athletic) - 35
5. Martin Laursen (Aston Villa) - 34
6. Michael Carrick (Manchester United) - 39
7. Cristiano Ronaldo (Manchester United) - 42
8. David Dunn (Blackburn Rovers) - 41
9. Fernando Torres (Liverpool) - 42
10. Wayne Rooney (Manchester United) - 43
11. James McFadden (Birmingham City) - 41
