FORM is temporary, class is permanent.
That widely-parroted adage may ring true but form is one of the most important factors in the realm of the Dream Team.
Ahead of the 6:30pm deadline for Gameweek 24, let’s analyse the most in-form players in each position, based on points earned in the last three games.
GOALKEEPERS
- Kepa Arrizabalaga (£3.5m) – 20 pts
- Matz Sels (£3.1m) – 18 pts
- Jordan Pickford (£4.2m) – 17 pts
- Antonin Kinsky (£2.5m) – 13 pts
- Emi Martinez (£3.8m) – 11 pts
Bournemouth’s only defeat in their last 14 games came against Liverpool and so it’s no surprise their custodian has risen the rankings of late.
Previously guilty of frequent errors in a Chelsea shirt, Kepa will feel confident of extending his good form this weekend when he travels to Southampton – the Premier League’s basement boys have scored just 18 goals in the top flight this season.
Only David Raya (£4.3m) has kept more clean sheets than Sels in all competitions this campaign, with Pickford third on the podium.
Everton’s No1 also ranks joint-fourth for total saves with 78.
Tottenham’s Kinsky dropped a clanger against Aston Villa last time out but it’s worth noting his season average of 5.4 points-per-game is only bettered by Caoimhin Kelleher (£2.8m) among keepers to have played at least five times.
DEFENDERS
- Daniel Munoz (£4.9m) – 35 pts
- Nelson Semedo (£2.5m) – 23 pts
- Emmanuel Agbadou (£2.4m) – 22 pts
- Maxence Lacroix (£3.2m) – 21 pts
- James Tarkowski (£3.9m) – 21 pts

Crystal Palace’s all-action wing-back has registered a goal, two assists, two clean sheets and 11 tackles in his last three outings!
The Colombia international is in a league of his own among defenders right now and only Trent Alexander-Arnold (£6m) averages more points-per-game across the whole season.
The Eagles have kept five clean sheets in their last six games, hence Lacroix’s healthy returns.
Wolves representatives Semedo and Agbadou have benefited from consecutive 2-0 wins over Aston Villa and Blackburn but they’ll need to produce something special to frustrate Liverpool at Anfield this Sunday.
Everton’s captain makes the cut following his last-gasp equaliser in Wednesday night’s Merseyside derby.
MIDFIELDERS
- Morgan Rogers (£3.5m) – 39 pts
- Antoine Semenyo (£3.9m) – 29 pts
- Jacob Ramsey (£2.7m) – 25 pts
- Jack Clarke (£2.2m) – 25 pts
- Kobbie Mainoo (£3.1m) – 23 pts
Aston Villa’s skilful playmaker is the outright most in-form player in the game at present.
His underwhelming one-pointer against Wolves in Gameweek 22 was sandwiched between a Champions League hat-trick against Celtic and an impressive 14-point haul at Spurs’ expense in the FA Cup fourth round.
It’s no wonder Rogers is comfortably the most popular recruit ahead of Gameweek 24 – the Villains are set to host both Ipswich and Liverpool.
Justin Kluivert (£3.9m) is also among the most transferred-in players this week but Semenyo has the hot hand for Bournemouth right now.
The Ghana star has notched four goals and three assists in his last six outings.
Cole Palmer (£5.9m) and Alejandro Garnacho (£3m) are the only midfielders to have registered more shots on target than Semenyo in 2024/25.
He will fancy his chances against Saints this weekend.
FORWARDS
- Matheus Cunha (£4.7m) – 33 pts
- Mohamed Salah (£8.2m) – 30 pts
- Beto (£2.2m) – 29 pts
- Chris Wood (£4.3m) – 29 pts
- Dango Ouattara (£3.5m) – 28 pts
Wolves’ No10 is a class act who has taken apart Villa and Blackburn in his last two outings.
Cunha currently ranks in the top five forwards for shots on target, big chances created, tackles and bonus points – he does it all!
Whether the Brazilian is able to get the better of Virgil van Dijk (£5m) and company remains to be seen.
It’s no surprise to see Salah riding high given he is by far and away Dream Team’s top performer this season.
The Egyptian superstar averages a mighty 11.1 points-per-game across the campaign and needs just 13 more to reach a quadruple century.

Who would bet against him reaching that milestone in Gameweek 24 given the Reds have two fixtures to fulfil?
0.3%-owned Ouattara is a decent option for the next two Gameweeks for those who like to think outside the box.
