DREAM TEAM managers have until 2:30pm on Sunday to select their captain for the final Gameweek of the 2024/25 season.Given that Chelsea are the only team set to play twice, Cole Palmer (£4.9m) has to be considered a strong candidate for the armband.An extra fixture at his disposalCredit: Dream TeamThe Blues will take on Nottingham Forest at the City Ground on Sunday to complete their Premier League campaign before facing Real Betis in the Conference League final on Wednesday night.With Champions League qualification hanging in the balance, Enzo Maresca will not have the luxury of naming a second-string XI against Forest, meaning Palmer is likely to start both fixtures.The England international started the season in superb form but his returns have dwindled in recent months.He’s scored 15 goals in all competitions this campaign but just one since the start of February.Palmer’s reduced effectiveness is certainly a concern but many Dream Team bosses will feel his additional fixture is the overriding factor.His overall record of 322 points at an average of 7.7 per game remains highly impressive.And the fact he is Chelsea’s first-choice penalty-taker is also a significant plus point.Salah has a good record against Crystal PalaceCredit: EPAElsewhere, Mohamed Salah (£6.6m) is due to face Crystal Palace at Anfield.Most read in FootballLike most Liverpool players, the Egyptian all but checked out the moment the league title was secured but on Sunday the Reds might meet an opponent even more hungover than themselves in the form of Oliver Glasner’s FA Cup winners.With both sides having achieved their goals, this meeting could be an open contest, which might play into Salah’s hands.The 32-year-old has registered 13 goal involvements in 13 league games against Palace as a Liverpool player.Gaffers with Bukayo Saka (£5.8m) in their ranks will be tempted to captain him ahead of Arsenal’s trip to Southampton.Saka will finish his campaign with a trip to SouthamptonCredit: EPASt Mary’s will play host to the biggest mismatch of the final weekend in terms of league positions: 20th versus 2nd.The Gunners’ No7 has scored 12 goals and provided 17 assists this season – an incredible record given he missed three months with a hamstring injury.Saka scored against Saints in the reverse fixture and will fancy his chances of exploiting the top flight’s worst defence again.Elsewhere, Jarrod Bowen (£5.6m) is well placed to finish the season in style against Ipswich having scored four goals in his last five outings.Read More on The SunA wildcard optionCredit: Shutterstock EditorialAnd if the Europa League final is any indicator, Ollie Watkins (£4.6m) and/or Morgan Rogers (£4.4m) could have their wicked way with Manchester United.One suspects Palmer will be the popular captain among the most engaged managers but there are viable alternatives for those who want to go against the grain.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

ANOTHER captivating Dream Team season is almost at an end.Due to the fact the final round of Premier League fixtures will all kick-off at the same time, gaffers have until 2:30pm on Sunday to confirm their transfers for Gameweek 37, the last of the campaign.In the hope of steering you towards a strong finish, allow us to present some transfer recommendations.Will Chelsea join Liverpool, Newcastle, Crystal Palace and Spurs in lifting a trophy?Credit: GettyMarc Cucurella (£3.9m)Chelsea are the only team with two fixtures remaining as they will take on Real Betis in the Conference League final three days after their trip to the City Ground.With Champions League qualification stake, Enzo Maresca won’t be able to name a second-string XI against Nottingham Forest and so there’s a good chance that Cucurella will get two starts in the final Gameweek of the campaign.The Spain international put himself in the spotlight last Friday when he banked 16 points against Manchester United via a goal and clean sheet.In fact, the mop-haired left-back now leads the way for goals scored (7) among Dream Team defenders this season.Cole Palmer (£4.9m) remains the Blues’ best performer in terms of total points while Enzo Fernandez (£4.6m), Noni Madueke (£2m) and Pedro Neto (£3.6m) are also viable options.Saka has an outside chance of reaching the 300-point milestoneCredit: GettyBukayo Saka (£5.8m)Arsenal’s final fixture will take them to St Mary’s where they will face a Southampton side that have mustered just two wins all season long.Given Saints have scored the fewest league goals and conceded the most, there should be plenty of points on offer for the Gunners on Sunday.Most read in FootballSaka is the man most likely to benefit in attack as he leads the way among his team-mates for goal involvements (12 goals and 17 assists) despite having missed three months of the campaign through injury.Mikel Arteta’s side boast the best defensive record in the top flight and so it would be perfectly reasonable to expect a clean sheet from the visitors at St Mary’s.With several first-choice defenders sidelined, Dream Team bosses will have look at Riccardo Calafiori (£2.6m), Jakub Kiwior (£3m) or Ben White (£3.6m) if they want to go down this route – David Raya (£4.2m) is a safe selection between the sticks.In fine formCredit: ReutersJarrod Bowen (£5.6m)West Ham fans will be happy to see the back of this season but in Bowen they have one of the most consistently reliable performers in the top flight.The 28-year-old averages 7.5 points-per-game in 2024/25 and he will enter the final Gameweek as Dream Team’s most in-form forward.Having scored four goals in his last five outings, the England international will be licking his lips at the prospect of facing Ipswich this weekend, especially after the Tractor Boys lost 2-0 to Leicester last time out.Aaron Wan-Bissaka (£4.2m) deserves praise for his individual efforts too.The fact only Pedro Porro (£5.1m) has earned more bonus points among defenders is evidence of the West Ham full-back’s positive impact.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

JUST one Gameweek remains before the 2024/25 Dream Team season is complete.Managers intent on squeezing every last point out of the remaining fixtures would do well to consider West Ham’s trip to Ipswich as a potential source of returns.West Ham’s two best players this seasonCredit: Dream TeamThe Hammers have endured a miserable campaign – they’re 15th heading into the Premier League’s last weekend – but Jarrod Bowen (£5.6m) and Aaron Wan-Bissaka (£4.2m) are both worthy of individual praise.More importantly, the pair are viable differential options for Gameweek 37.Bowen is statistically the most in-form forward in the game at the time of writing having banked 28 points from his last three outings.More broadly, he’s scored four goals and provided two assists in the last five games.A consistent performerCredit: Shutterstock EditorialThe England international averages 7.5 points-per-game this season, a rate only bettered by four other players in his position.Bowen has scored 13 goals and registered 10 assists in all competitions this term and also ranks among the top four forwards for bonus points and tackles.In short, it would be reasonable to expect healthy returns from him at Portman Road on Sunday.It’s worth noting that the Tractor Boys slipped to 19th in the table when they lost to Leicester last time out.Most read in FootballA smart signingCredit: AFPWan-Bissaka was recently named Hammer of the Year by West Ham fans after an impressive first season in East London.Criticised for his limited attacking threat during his tenure at Manchester United, the 27-year-old has looked good going forward in claret and blue while still being a formidable one-v-one defender.Only Rayan Ait-Nouri (£4.8m) has completed more successful dribbles among Dream Team defenders at this late stage of the campaign.Wan-Bissaka also ranks joint-second for interceptions among all players.These stats are the main reason he’s amassed an impressive 48 bonus points, a tally only bettered by one defender, Pedro Porro (£5.1m).Wan-Bissaka has impressed the London Stadium faithfulCredit: GettyThe Hammers have struggled defensively this season but a visit to Ipswich represents a good chance for Wan-Bissaka and friends to keep a clean sheet.And if the DR Congo international can earn his usual bonus points then it’s not unthinkable he will finish the season with a juicy double-digit haul.The thing about Bowen (3.8% ownership) and Wan-Bissaka (2.5%) is that both are being overlooked by the vast majority of Dream Team bosses.Gaffers in need of outside-the-box options for the final weekend should give the West Ham pair due consideration at the very least.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
