Sheffield United right-back Femi Seriki earned a place in the EFL Championship Team of the Week following a standout performance in the club's 2-0 victory over Watford. The 23-year-old Nigerian was instrumental in the second goal, surging forward in the 59th minute to deliver a low cross that Patrick Bamford converted with a deft flick at the near post. Seriki made 10 defensive contributions and won 11 of his 18 duels, the highest totals among all players in the match. He also completed two of three dribbles, provided three crosses and recorded one key pass. His performance earned him one of the top five individual ratings in the division for gameweek 43, marking his third inclusion in the Team of the Week this season. Seriki has registered five assists and one goal across 35 Championship appearances this campaign. Since joining Sheffield United in 2019, the Manchester-born defender has developed through loan spells at Beerschot, Boston United, Rochdale and Rotherham United before becoming a first-team regular.
