Which players have taken the most Dream Team points from Premier League fixtures this season?

THE Dream Team season has reached a pivotal turning point.

Once Gameweek 15 is in the record books, there will be no more European fixtures until February.

Dream Team managers should therefore prioritise domestic form above all else when devising their latest strategies.

With that in mind, allow us to present the list of players who have taken the most points from Premier League fixtures so far in 2023/24.

1st Erling Haaland (£7.9m) – 141 pts
2nd Mohamed Salah (£6.7m) – 134 pts
3rd Bukayo Saka (£6.7m) – 132 pts
4th Son Heung-min (£4.4m) – 123 pts
5th Jarrod Bowen (£5.3m) – 116 pts
6th Ollie Watkins (£4.7m) – 111 pts
7th Kieran Trippier (£5.3m) – 104 pts
8th Matheus Cunha (£3.1m) – 103 pts
9th Phil Foden (£5.2m) – 101 pts
10th Bryan Mbeumo (£3.8m) – 100 pts
=10th Anthony Gordon (£4m) – 100 pts
12th John McGinn (£3.8m) – 94 pts
=12th James Ward-Prowse – 94 pts
=12th Pedro Porro (£3.3m) – 94 pts
15th Abdoulaye Doucoure (£3m) – 93 pts
=15th Trent Alexander-Arnold (£5.7m) – 93 pts
17th Dominic Solanke (£3.6m) – 92 pts
=17th Douglas Luiz (£3.7m) – 92 pts
=17th James Maddison (£4.2m) – 92 pts
20th Declan Rice (£3.9m) – 88pts
=20th Raheem Sterling (£3.8m) – 88pts
=20th Julian Alvarez (£4.2m) – 88pts

Naturally, there’s a considerable amount of overlap with the true rankings, starting with Manchester City’s No9 at the top of the pile.

But it’s the differences to which Dream Team bosses should pay attention.

Tottenham’s captain certainly catches the eye in fourth.

Son is joint-11th overall but only because he doesn’t have European fixtures to enhance his schedule.

The South Korean superstar has to be considered a top-tier asset during this period between the end of the European groups stages and before he joins up with his international team-mates in January ahead of the Asian Cup.

Take note of Alvarez’s ranking of equal 20th alongside Rice and Sterling in this list.

The World Cup winner is currently the sixth-best performer in Dream Team but that’s largely because of the points he’s earned against Man City’s favourable Champions League opponents.

The Argentina international has not been slack in the league by any means but the stats suggest he’s likely to be overtaken by several rivals in the coming Gameweeks.

Few Dream Team managers would have realised the extent of Cunha’s domestic success.

The Wolves forward has earned all of his 103 points in the league, putting him above the likes of Foden, Ward-Prowse and Alexander-Arnold in top-flight competition.

The Brazilian’s lofty position on this list should serve as a stark example of how the dynamics of Dream Team will change throughout the festive period and into the new year.

The same could be said for Porro, Doucoure and Solanke, who have all outscored some big names in the Premier League arena this campaign.

Conversely, assets such as Bruno Fernandes (£5.6m), Martin Odegaard (£5.1m) and Joao Pedro (£3.1m) are absent from this list, indicating they have been heavily reliant on European fixtures to date.

This doesn’t necessarily mean they will struggle in the coming Gameweeks but it’s worth noting.

Finally, a word for Maddison who features in this list despite the fact he’s been injured since Gameweek 11 – his league form was truly magnificent until that point.

Expect him to be a popular recruit later in the season if he returns from injury smoothly.
