      Amad Diallo among Dream Team’s most-affordable form players but there’s a catch

      by

      AMAD DIALLO (£3.7m) is currently the most transferred-in player ahead of Gameweek 16.It’s early days as the deadline isn’t until Saturday morning with several fixtures still to come before the current Gameweek is complete but clearly the Manchester United youngster has made an impression on Dream Team managers.Man of the momentCredit: Dream TeamThe 22-year-old inspired the Red Devils to victory over Manchester City at the Etihad on Sunday.First, he capitalised on an under-hit back pass from Matheus Nunes (£3.3m) and the Portuguese midfielder’s over eagerness to atone for his mistake to win a penalty, successful converted by Bruno Fernandes (£6.3m) for an 88th-minute equaliser.Two minutes later, Diallo latched onto a pass over the top to take the onrushing Ederson (£3.6m) out of the game before executing a smart finish from an acute angle to claim all three points for the visitors.When the dust had settled, Diallo banked 16 points as he also earned three bonus points outside of his dramatic goal contributions.A winner for the agesCredit: GettyThat the Ivory Coast international emerged as Man United’s hero against the defending champions would not have surprised a large portion of fans, who have witnessed his gallant efforts of late.Diallo has now scored or assisted in four of his last five appearances in all competitions.Widening the frame, he’s registered three goals and seven assists in his last seven outings – a fruitful spell that has yielded 87 points in six Gameweeks.Ruben Amorim has rotated his attacking assets during his first few weeks as Old Trafford boss with Diallo even playing some minutes as a wing-back in the former Sporting CP tactician’s preferred 3-4-3 formation.Most read in FootballBut with Marcus Rashford (£3.4m) and Alejandro Garnacho (£4m) controversially left out of the matchday squad altogether at the weekend, Diallo appears to have earned a high ranking in Amorim’s pecking order.Amorim has favoured Diallo lately, with good reasonCredit: GettyGiven his recent form, it’s understandable why a sizeable chunk of Dream Team bosses are looking to acquire the ex-Atalanta man’s services ahead of Gameweek 16.However, there’s a catch.Diallo is categorised as a forward in Dream Team, which is rather ungenerous.This means that gaffers who decide to back him will only have room for a maximum of two other strikers, no matter what formation they select.This is not a deal-breaker by any means but the forward slots are at a premium in the world Dream Team.Goals remain the game’s primary currency and so the idea of allocating a place in one’s front line to a player who might be deployed as a wing-back feels counterproductive.Diallo is among Dream Team’s most in-form playersCredit: GettyThat being said, the metric that matters most in Dream Team is points and Diallo has provided plenty in recent weeks. He could easily slot into an XI that contained enough goal threat from elsewhere, especially at the relatively affordable price of £3.7m.READ MORE SUN STORIESDiallo leads the way for tackles (32) in his position while only Jarrod Bowen (£5.9m) has earned more bonus points.Man United are due to play Tottenham in the Carabao Cup on Thursday night before taking on Bournemouth and Wolves in a Premier League double header in Gameweek 16.BetMGM sign up offerBetMGM: Get £40 in free bets — HERE**New cust only. 7 days to opt in by placing a £10 qualifying bet at 1/1 (2.0) odds or greater to receive 4x Free Bets: 1 x £10 horse racing, 1 x £10 Bet Builder, 1 x £10 Acca and 1 x £10 football. 7 day expiry.

Just adds to the laughing stock we already are!”The Saints host Premier League leaders Liverpool in a Carabao Cup quarter-final clash, before visiting Fulham in the league on Sunday.Ex-Arsenal star Ramsdale was hopeful of returning to the team in the coming days, with the South Coast side only picking up one point since the goalkeeper’s injury.On his return, he said: “The finger is getting more bendy, it’s getting there. It was too soon (for me to be back) for this game.“I’m looking forward to next week. We have two games that I’m hoping to be involved in. It’s about making sure it’s fixed properly.“Making sure it doesn’t get injured again is the main priority.

      Dream Team bosses backing the wrong horse in Brennan Johnson while James Maddison and Dejan Kulusevski thrive

      by

      ONLY Chelsea have scored more Premier League goals than Tottenham this season.In fact, the Blues and league-leaders Liverpool are the only teams that boast a better goal difference than Spurs’ +17 right now.And yet Ange Postecoglou’s side are only tenth in table, level on points with Brentford and Newcastle in 11th and 12th respectively, such is their frustrating nature.It’s hard to get a read on Spurs this seasonCredit: GettySpurs are arguably the most curious team in the land at present, capable of outplaying any opponent on their day but also liable to inexplicable slip-ups.Their inconsistent nature causes headaches for Dream Team managers but the strength of their attack means there are plenty of points on offer most Gameweeks.Certainly that was the case on Sunday when the North Londoners waltzed to a 5-0 victory over Southampton at St Mary’s.Spurs could have inflicted more damage on Saints but opted to conserve energy in a goalless second half.James Maddison (£4.5m) and Son Heung-min (£5.2m) were the biggest beneficiaries as they banked 19 points each – both were directly involved in three of the five goals.The former has amassed 56 points in seven outings since the start of Gameweek 12 while the latter has gone one point better in the same time frame, despite not looking his best.Maddison enjoyed himself against Southampton on Sunday nightCredit: RexDejan Kulusevski (£3.6m) also took advantage of Southampton’s porous defence to score in his third consecutive game.Most read in FootballThe Sweden international now has five goals to go alongside his tally of eight assists in 2024/25 – he averages a goal involvement every 114.6 minutes in all competitions.However, one Spurs player was particularly notable for his lack of returns at the weekend, Brennan Johnson (£3.8m).The Wales international was named on the bench and mustered just one point after he replaced Son at half-time.The former Nottingham Forest man has registered just ten points from his last four outings at a time when several of his team-mates have cashed in.Johnson has been starved of points in the last two GameweeksCredit: APThis disparity is noteworthy because Johnson is the most popular Spurs asset in Dream Team.Not only that, an ownership of 27% makes him the sixth-most selected player in the whole game at the time of writing!On current evidence, it appears gaffers are backing the wrong the horse.On paper, there’s not much between Postecoglou’s main attacking threats.Johnson, Maddison and Son have all registered 14 goal involvements apiece with Kulusevski and Dominic Solanke (£4.2m) on 13 each.The former is the club’s top scorer this season with ten goals to his name in all competitions but it’s Maddison who leads the way in terms of points, the metric that matters most.MOST DREAM TEAM POINTS AMONG TOTTENHAM PLAYERS THIS SEASON:155pts – James Maddison141pts – Brennan Johnson136pts – Son Heung-min132pts – Dominic Solanke123pts – Dejan KulusevskiSon has notched his fair share of points despite not always looking at his bestCredit: RexFurthermore, Johnson owners may be concerned about his minutes lately.Prior to his benching at St Mary’s, he was hooked after 53 minutes against Chelsea and played just an hour at Ibrox in the Europa League.READ MORE SUN STORIESPreviously, Maddison’s playing time nosedived but the 28-year-old has seemingly clawed his way back up the pecking order with some encouraging performances while Kulusevski is arguably Spurs’ Player of the Season at this stage.Postecoglou’s troops are due to take on Manchester United in the Carabao Cup on Thursday night so gaffers will be afforded another glimpse before having to decide upon their strategy for Gameweek 16.BetMGM sign up offerBetMGM: Get £40 in free bets — HERE**New cust only. 7 days to opt in by placing a £10 qualifying bet at 1/1 (2.0) odds or greater to receive 4x Free Bets: 1 x £10 horse racing, 1 x £10 Bet Builder, 1 x £10 Acca and 1 x £10 football. 7 day expiry.
