DREAM TEAM managers will once again have three Boosters at their disposal in the 2024/25 season.
Each Booster has a special effect which will result in plentiful points if played at the opportune moment.
But remember, each Booster can only be played ONCE throughout the course of the campaign and each one lasts the duration of just one Gameweek – it’s generally a good idea to wait for juicy double Gameweeks to maximise your chances of a big haul.
It’s also important to note that Boosters can only be played one at a time, never in combination with one another.

GOAL BONUS
This Booster is new for the 2024/25 season, replacing Park the Bus.
Goal Bonus increases the value of each goal scored by your players by three points.
This means each goal is worth NINE points when Goal Bonus is activated!
It goes without saying that this Booster should be played when your team is stacked with in-form goal threats.

Erling Haaland (£8.5m) scored 38 goals in all competitions last season and Manchester City’s No9 will surely be a must-have asset for gaffers when playing Goal Bonus.
12th MAN
This Booster allows you to select an additional player to score points for your team for one Gameweek only.
You can select a player from any position to be your 12th Man, regardless of your formation.
For example, if your team is set up in a 3-4-3 formation, you could activate 12th Man and select a fourth striker – a tempting strategy.
And don’t worry about budget, your 12th Man comes for free!
MAX CAPTAIN
This Booster ensures that the player who scores the most points in your team ends up with the captain’s armband and therefore has their score doubled.
Say Trent Alexander-Arnold (£5.5m) scores eight points for you in the first fixture of the Gameweek, he will have his score doubled to 16 by Max Captain.
If Ollie Watkins (£6m) then banks 12 points for you in the 3pm kick-offs, he will automatically be selected as skipper and his scored will be doubled to 24 – in this instance, Alexander-Arnold’s score would return to eight as he would no longer be your top performer.
And this process would continue until the end of the Gameweek, guaranteeing you the best possible captaincy selection.

Generally, Max Captain is best deployed when there are several appealing captaincy options, each with two fixtures to fulfil in the same Gameweek.
Dream Team will be on hand throughout the season to highlight certain Gameweeks that appear well suited to Boosters.
