    Dream Team managers in search of double Gameweek specialist should consider Bryan Mbeumo

    DREAM TEAM managers are spoiled for choice this week.Gameweek 24 is not done yet with Manchester City, Liverpool and Aston Villa in action on Wednesday night but thoughts have already turned to double Gameweek 25, when all 20 Premier League clubs will have two fixtures to fulfil.Mbeumo will be unleashed upon Leicester and Everton in Gameweek 25Credit: Dream TeamThis opens up all manner of options as players previously limited to one point-scoring opportunity per Gameweek will have two chances to strut their stuff.One individual who is already attracting plenty of new admirers is Bryan Mbeumo (£4.7m).Brentford’s talisman is currently the second-most popular recruit ahead of Friday’s 6:30pm deadline ahead of his double header against Leicester and Everton.The Toffees have improved immeasurably since David Moyes’ return having won four of their last five league games.While the Bees may have a fight on their hands when Everton visit West London, their Friday night trip to the King Power represents one of the most favourable fixtures on offer in the top flight this season.Leicester are seemingly destined for relegationCredit: PARuud van Nistelrooy’s side are languishing in 19th having lost nine of their last ten league games, conceding 25 goals in the process.Thomas Frank will expect his troops, who have scored more goals than the likes of Nottingham Forest, Newcastle and Aston Villa this campaign, to capitalise on the Foxes’ vulnerable defence.And the stats suggest Mbeumo is the man most likely to take advantage.Most read in FootballThe Cameroon international has scored 14 goals and provided four assists in all competitions this term.Mohamed Salah (£8.3m), Erling Haaland (£8.1m), Chris Wood (£4.1m) and Alexander Isak (£6.3m) are the only players ahead of Mbeumo in the Premier League Golden Boot race.Crucially, those four rivals are all strikers whereas Brentford’s No19 is categorised as a midfielder in Dream Team.Mbeumo ranks third among Dream Team midfieldersCredit: RexMbeumo has racked up 228 points this season at an average of 7.9 per appearance – a rate only bettered by Cole Palmer (£5.9m) and Bukayo Saka (£6.6m) among assets in his position.While only Chelsea’s main man and Bruno Fernandes (£6.1m) have amassed a higher points total at this stage – a phenomenal effort given Mbeumo’s schedule has not featured European fixtures.Even accounting for a potentially tricky meeting with a resurgent Everton, it would be reasonable to expect a juicy double-digit haul in Gameweek 25.Yoane Wissa (£3m), Mikkel Damsgaard (£3.8m) and Kevin Schade (£3.1m) are all viable options but Mbeumo’s record makes him the optimum selection for gaffers keen on a Brentford player at this juncture.Dream Team bosses should be aware that such a move would be a short-term ploy as Brentford do not have a fixture scheduled for Gameweek 26, when focus will switch to the FA Cup fifth round.Score PredictorPlay Score Predictor with Dream Team this season!FREE to play£250 weekly prizePredict scores of five selected Premier League fixtures and earn points for accuracyMost points wins weekly cash prizePLAY NOW More

    Todd Boehly’s genius plan isn’t so bright after all… two trips to Brighton have sent Chelsea’s season into a tailspin

    EATEN in consecutive weeks by their own ‘nursery club’, Chelsea’s season is threatening to implode.In the early part of Todd Boehly’s Stamford Bridge reign, the American signed off almost a quarter of a billion pounds on recruiting members of Brighton and Hove Albion’s staff.Kaoru Mitoma scored a spectacular goal as Brighton beat ChelseaCredit: APMoises Caicedo left Brighton for the BluesCredit: GettyTodd Boehly has spent a fortune on recruiting players at ChelseaCredit: APEnzo Maresca has come under fire in recent weeksCredit: GettyFrom the British-record signing of Moises Caicedo to the poaching of Graham Potter and his entire backroom team.From the eye-watering £62million fee agreed for full-back Marc Cucurella to the unconvincing goalkeeper Robert Sanchez to sporting director Paul Winstanley, there seemed an obsession with all things Brighton.So it seemed particularly galling that after all that headhunting, Chelsea should be knocked out of the FA Cup, then handed their heaviest defeat of the Premier League season by the club they had supposedly gutted.Throw in Enzo Maresca’s spat with Brighton’s spiky German child-boss Fabian Hurzeler and those two trips to good old Sussex by the sea have sent Chelsea’s campaign into a tailspin.READ MORE ON FOOTBALLNow Chelsea are after Brighton’s Japanese winger Kaoru Mitoma, who scored my goal of the season against them in Friday’s 3-0 drubbing at the Amex.Mitoma, who famously wrote a university thesis on the art of dribbling, must have been indulging in more footballing intellectualism before he scored it.A practical exam question: “Imagine what sort of goal Dimitar Berbatov could have scored if he’d been blessed with pace.”Well that was it. And Chelsea only have seven senior wingers either in the building, out on loan or, in the case of £62m Mykhailo Mudryk, idling having failed a drug test.Most read in FootballCASINO SPECIAL – BEST CASINO BONUSES FROM £10 DEPOSITSMaybe they need another one. Or two. Yankuba Minteh of Brighton looks pretty good.Maresca, a curious appointment to replace Mauricio Pochettino in the summer, diminished his standing with Blues fans by claiming the Cup defeat would allow his team to concentrate on the league and the Conference League.Enzo Maresca criticises Chelsea after 3-0 defeat by Brighton Some of us can remember Jose Mourinho mocking old sparring partner Rafa Benitez for winning the Europa League while Chelsea’s interim boss.Mourinho claimed the club should never have been in Uefa’s second-tier competition.What the old Special One would think of a Stamford Bridge boss concentrating on the third-class Conference League — in which Chelsea have so far, from memory, beaten Noah and the Whale, Mumford and Sons and Camper Van Beethoven — is anyone’s guess.Who do Chelsea think they are? West Ham or something?The back-to-back defeats are part of an 11-match run during which Chelsea have beaten only Morecambe, Wolves and,  fortuitously, Potter’s Hammers.During this time they have increasingly resembled a bunch of talented youngsters in dire need of guidance from some grown-ups.Boehly’s Chelsea project is based on the ‘genius’ idea of signing up dozens of young prospects on vastly lengthy contracts. And so this was always likely to happen.Alan Hansen was lampooned for insisting “You can’t win anything with kids,” when  Manchester United’s Class of ’92 began to emerge at the start of the 1995-96 campaign — a season when Sir Alex Ferguson’s side went on to win the Double.But that United squad included  seasoned campaigners such as Eric Cantona, Peter Schmeichel, Steve Bruce, Gary Pallister, Denis Irwin and Brian McClairChelsea do not have a single outfield player over 30.Even the outstanding 22-year-old Cole Palmer is showing the strain of having carried Chelsea for 18 months.In April, Palmer missed a visit to Arsenal and Pochettino urged his players to prove ‘they are not Cole Palmer FC’. Chelsea lost 5-0.Maresca correctly claimed his side were not ready for a title challenge when things looked rosy earlier in the season.Yet he now faces the prospect of failing to qualify for the Champions League.Fifth should be good enough. Chelsea are sixth and shot of confidence.Is Maresca under threat? Maybe but what good would a sixth manager in 2½ seasons be when Boehly’s entire project looks so flawed.Not even Brighton try to win solely with kids.AN EFFIN’ BIG DEALJude Bellingham was sent off in Real Madrid’s draw with OsasunaCredit: ReutersAS THE only manager to have won the title in all five major European leagues, Carlo Ancelotti can swear proficiently in five different languages.So when Jude Bellingham was sent off for using foul and abusive language at a referee during Real Madrid’s 1-1 draw with Osasuna on Saturday, Ancelotti, 65, played the cunning linguist card.The Real boss claimed: “I think the referee did not understand Jude Bellingham’s English. He said ‘f*** off’, not ‘f*** you’ . . . that’s way different.”This opens up an entire can of foul-mouthed worms.Firstly, is ‘f*** you’ really significantly stronger than ‘f*** off’?Given that ‘f***’ is the most versatile word in the English language, should Spanish referees really be expected to understand the nuances of its myriad uses?Are Premier League refs trained to understand the usage of foreign swear words so as to weigh up whether any specific instance merits a red card?And if not, does this give overseas players an advantage over native English speakers in our top flight?Or maybe Bellingham should simply stop swearing at officials all the time.MIGHTY MOUSHOmar Marmoush netted a stunning hat-trick against NewcastleCredit: GettyMANCHESTER CITY clearly signed a couple of seriously good players in January.So why didn’t boss Pep Guardiola have the nerve to start either Omar Marmoush or Nico Gonzalez in the first leg of City’s Champions League play-off against Real Madrid?In Saturday afternoon’s 4-0 humping of Newcastle, Marmoush bagged a hat-trick, while midfield anchor-man Gonzalez was dubbed ‘mini-Rodri’ by his manager.Guardiola reckons his side have just a one per cent chance of overturning a 3-2 deficit in the second leg at the Bernabeu tomorrow night.But with those two in the team, City’s chances should be a whole lot better.OLIVER’S TWISTOliver Glasner often wears a knitted jumper on the touchlineCredit: GettyMANAGERIAL touchline fashions have become fascinating in recent years.From Roberto Mancini’s Man City scarf to Pep Guardiola’s roll-necks to Scott Parker’s entire wardrobe,  fashionistas have often salivated.Yet for me, a middle-aged man who spends a lot of winter evenings out in the cold watching football, there is a clear winner.Which is why I hope that I’ll soon be able to choose from the Oliver Glasner Alpine Knitwear Collection at the Crystal Palace club shop.START TO AD UPAdama Traore impressed against Nottingham ForestCredit: GettySINCE Adama Traore arrived in England a decade ago, the Spaniard has had the potential to be the most fearsome winger in football.Built like a bull but blessed with Speedy Gonzalez pace, there has been a tendency to watch Traore and say: “Imagine if he could cross a ball.”Well, under Fulham’s hugely underrated boss Marco Silva, Traore has learned how to at the age of 29 — as exemplified in his man-of-the-match display against Nottingham Forest on Saturday.The prospect for Premier League left-backs is terrifying.HEADING SOUTHMatt Le Tissier watched on as Southampton were beaten by BournemouthCredit: RexWHILE Southampton’s death march towards relegation continued with a home loss to Bournemouth, cameras panned to their greatest Premier League player — the wild conspiracy theorist Matt Le Tissier.“I wonder if he’s got his boots,” said the Match of the Day commentator.“I wonder if he believes Southampton’s disastrous season is down to the malign influence of a shady international cartel run by an evil reptile overlord,” said me.READ MORE SUN STORIESITS A SINJannik Sinner has accepted a three-month banCredit: The Mega AgencyWORLD tennis No.1 Jannik Sinner has accepted a three-month ban for failing a doping test — conveniently scheduled so that the Italian misses precisely NO Grand Slam events.That’ll teach him.
