      Manchester United new boy Rasmus Hojlund runs 100m in under 11 seconds but what will he bring to Dream Team?

      by

      RASMUS Hojlund will be added to Dream Team today!No doubt many Manchester United fans will be keen to back their new striker when he’s available – they’ll have to fork out £4million of their initial budget to make it work.
      For perspective, that puts him level on price with the likes of Alexander Isak, Darwin Nunez and Christopher Nkunku.
      Inevitably, Dream Team gaffers will be asking: what will Hojlund bring to this season’s revamped fantasy game?

      PLAY DREAM TEAM 2023/24 NOW – MORE CASH WINNERS THAN EVER BEFORE!

      Has Hojlund got what it takes to thrive in Dream Team this season?
      Physically, the 20-year-old resembles a laboratory footballer; he’s 6ft 3in tall and, according to Atalanta head coach Gian Piero Gasperini, can run 100m in under eleven seconds.
      Hojlund’s pace and his willingness to run in behind is perhaps the primary reason one of the world’s biggest clubs may end up paying a total of £73million for his services.
      The Red Devils have been crying out for an out-and-out striker since it became apparent Cristiano Ronaldo was not suited to Erik ten Hag’s desired approach.
      Anthony Martial (£3m) has been dogged by injuries and the Wout Weghorst (£2m) experiment bemused supporters and neutrals alike.
      Still in the infancy of his career, Hojlund has only 27 professional goals to his name at club level but while he lacks a proven track record, he set tongues wagging in Italy with a series of thrilling performances for Atalanta in the wake of the World Cup.
      Dream Team gaffers may know him from a viral video that exhibited his freakish acceleration, a burst through the middle against Lazio that propelled him from the halfway line, through two defenders, and one-on-one with the goalkeeper in the blink of an eye.
      Hojlund was presented at Old Trafford at the weekendCredit: GETTY
      He registered 16 goals and seven assists in all competitions last season, split between Atalanta and Austrian club Sturm Graz, but of course Man United are paying for his potential as well as his immediate impact.
      Although It goes without saying that his transfer fee is a reflection of the market – clubs from other countries know that Premier League giants will fork out huge sums.

      Bruno Fernandes (£6.5m) has been the only midfielder in the same realm as Kevin De Bruyne (£7m) in terms of creative metrics over the last three and a half years.
      The Portuguese playmaker guarantees Man United’s centre-forward a healthy supply of chances on his own and Hojlund’s combination of pace and height means he should benefit from throughballs and crosses into the box.
      However, Dream Team bosses should be aware the Denmark international is still a raw talent in need of moulding to some degree – his finishing has been no more than moderate to date.

      Jeremy Clarkson includes FOUR Chelsea players in his Dream Team side – take him on for chance to win £50,000 top prize!

      by

      JEREMY CLARKSON has his Dream Team locked in – have you?If not, why not!? You’ve only a week left until the big kick off!

      CLICK HERE TO PLAY DREAM TEAM NOW – MORE CASH WINNERS THANE EVER BEFORE, FREE TO PLAY, BRILLIANT FUN

      Clarkson’s knowledge of cars and (to a lesser extent) farming is unquestionable but has he built a competitive Dream Team XI?
      Jeremy Clarkson wants to take YOU onCredit: DREAM TEAM
      Head to the League Hub and enter CLARKSON as the pin to join Jezza’s Celebrity League.
      It’s won’t shock you to learn that Chelsea fan Jeremy is heavily backing his beloved with four Stamford Bridge residents in his XI.
      That’s not quite as strongly backed as old foe Piers Morgan, who selected six Arsenal players in his side.
      But despite last year’s disappointing campaign, Jeremy has a lot of faith that Mauricio Pochettino will turn it around in the coming months.
      Saying that, it’s Manchester City’s Ederson (£4.5m) who gets the nod between the sticks.
      Blues duo Chilwell and Silva are in Jezza’s sideCredit: GETTY
      No defender is more expensive than Kieran Trippier (£6m) but as the reigning king of his position he may well be worth the investment.
      Newcastle’s right-back joins Chelsea duo Ben Chilwell (£4.5m) and Thiago Silva (£4m) in a back three.

      Having spent a sizeable chunk of his budget on his keeper and defence, Jeremy has opted for some value-for-money options in the middle.
      Newcastle’s talisman Bruno Guimaraes is joined by Eberechi Eze and Morgan Gibbs-White – with all three players looking to make a mockery of their £3m price tags.
      It’s Chelsea again for the fourth midfielder as Enzo Fernandez (also £3m) is hoping to make the most of this year’s new points system from his deeper midfield position.
      Jeremy joins 85% of gaffers in picking HaalandCredit: GETTY
      Of course, Erling Haaland (£8.5m) is the focal point up front with Jeremy joining 85% of gaffers in selecting Manchester City’s prolific No9.
      Let’s be honest, only the brave (or perhaps foolish) have chosen to go against the Norwegian goal machine.
      Last season’s second-top points scorer Marcus Rashford (£6.5m) joins Haaland up top, alongside new Stamford Bridge recruit Christopher Nkunku (£4m).
      However, Jeremy may have to make use of the unlimited free transfers prior to Gameweek 1 with news that the Frenchman is likely to miss Chelsea’s opening fixture – Nicolas Jackson (£2.5m) perhaps?
      Think you can do better? Join Dream Team today and take on Jeremy (CLARKSON is the pin), your mates and managers all over the world in a bid to win cash and bragging rights.

      William Saliba Dream Team’s most-selected defender but is Arsenal star worthy of his popularity?

      by

      LET’S get one thing straight, William Saliba (£3.5m) is a very fine footballer.Arsenal missed the youthful centre-back badly during the run-in last season when he was sidelined with a back injury.
      The Frenchman’s partnership with Gabriel (£4.5m) at the heart of defence was one of the reasons the Gunners spent more weeks at the top of the Premier League than any other team in 2022/23.

      CLICK HERE TO PLAY DREAM TEAM 2023/24 NOW – FREE TO PLAY, AVAILABLE WORLDWIDE, MORE WINNERS THAN EVER BEFORE!

      Dream Team’s most-popular defenderCredit: DREAM TEAM
      Such is Saliba’s potential, Oleksandr Zinchenko (£3.5m) recently claimed his team-mate has all the tools to become “the best centre-back in the world”.
      So perhaps it’s understandable that Arsenal’s No2 is currently the most-popular defender in Dream Team ahead of the new season.
      Saliba’s ownership of 29.9% puts him just above Trent Alexander-Arnold (£6m), John Stones (£5m) and Kieran Trippier (£6m).
      Clearly, price is a factor; it’s likely that Dream Team gaffers see the 22-year-old as good value at £3.5m given he’s a probable starter for last season’s second-best team.
      However, is Saliba truly worthy of his popularity?
      He mustered 90 points in total at an average of 2.7 per game last season which was nothing more than moderate even accounting for his injury lay-off.
      Mr PopularCredit: GETTY
      Dream Team’s scoring system has been revolutionised this season and while his revised points-per-game average of 4.6 appears much healthier, it still puts him below the likes of Ethan Pinnock (£2.5m), Kenny Tete (£2.5m) and Emerson Royal (£3m).
      Saliba would have amassed 151 points had the new scoring system been implemented last season, just the 27th-best revised tally among assets in his position – even without injury he would have struggled to make the top ten.
      Compare these stats to Gabriel, who finished ninth among defenders in reality last season, but would have risen to fifth had the new scoring system been applied.

      The Brazilian costs an additional £1m but it could argued he’s worth the additional investment.
      Jurrien Timber’s (£3.5m) switch to the Emirates is another factor to consider.
      The Dutchman can play as either a centre-back or a right-back, much like Ben White (£4.5m) and Takehiro Tomiyasu (£2.5m).
      If Mikel Arteta decides to rotate his defensive options then Saliba’s minutes may be reduced.
      It will be interesting to see whether the Arsenal fan favourite remains the most-popular defender in Dream Team once Gameweek 1 gets underway.

      Dream Team 2023/24: Tottenham’s best players, bargain options and potential flops

      by

      DREAM TEAM managers are counting down the days until the new campaign gets underway.And to provide a helping hand, The Sun have taken a closer look at each of last season’s top teams in detail.
      Today we’re checking in on Tottenham’s crop of talent, hoping to find which players will thrive under attack-minded Ange Postecoglou – as well as who might struggle.

      James Maddison could deliver huge returns this seasonCredit: GETTY
      BEST PLAYERS
      You certainly don’t need us to explain the benefits of drafting Harry Kane (£7m) into your squad.
      The England captain has been one of the most consistent players of the Premier League era, scoring 213 goals and providing 50 assists in 320 appearances.
      He bagged a colossal 30 goals in 38 league fixtures last season, which amounted to just over 40% of his sides total.
      The 29-year-old is gearing up for his first campaign under Postecoglou, who wants Spurs to return to attacking, attractive football, and has the creativity of James Maddison (£4m) behind him – reducing his need to drop deep.
      To recap: He’s rotation proof, consistent as gravity and takes penalties.
      Unfortunately, there’s an elephant in the room and it’s wearing a Bayern Munich shirt – but for now Kane is a great pick.

      Regardless of who plays ahead of him, the aforementioned Maddison looks primed for a big season after completing his £40million move from Leicester.
      The Foxes suffered a shock relegation from the top flight but their No10 would have produced over 234 points in the new scoring system last season — that’s only a few short of Arsenal’s Bukayo Saka (£6m)!
      Maddison’s play style is perfectly suited to Dream Team – he’s constantly seeking goals and assists.
      Son Heung-min (£5m) could be back with a bang in 2023/24.
      And his potential could be even higher if Kane departs and he’s tasked with being the team’s primary goal threat.
      Despite what many would call an underwhelming campaign for the South Korean, Son would have returned 291 points last term had teh new scoring system been applied.
      A fresh start and a full pre-season should make for the perfect remedy for Son, who shared the Golden Boot with Mohamed Salah (£7m) in the 2021/22 season having netted 23 league goals.
      POTENTIAL BARGAINS
      Is Pedro Porro flying under the radar?Credit: GETTY
      A breakthrough season for Pedro Porro (£2.5m)?
      It’s certainly not beyond the realms of possibility; the 23-year-old managed three goals and three assists in 17 appearances for Spurs despite following his January arrival.
      The attacking Spain international is available at a rock-bottom £2.5m – £3.5m cheaper than Trent Alexander-Arnold (£6m).
      However, there are risks attached.
      14 of his career goals and 23 assists were when playing right midfield, and it looks more than likely that he’ll be deployed at right-back in a flat back four under Ange Postecoglou.
      Dejan Kulusevski (£3m) could potentially be one of the biggest winners from Postecoglou’s arrival.
      A return to form could be on the cards with many believing that the Swedish winger be nailed-on in the new regime, something that could revive his 2021/22 form.
      POTENTIAL FLOPS
      Guglielmo Vicario has his doubtersCredit: GETTY
      Attacking talents, plenty. Defensive reliability, not so much.
      Many are expecting Spurs to fight fire with fire this season, and that could mean their defensive assets suffer.
      They conceded 63 Premier League goals last season and are yet to add to their centre-back options.
      That could be bad news for new goalkeeper Guglielmo Vicario (£3m).
      The Italian goalkeeper joined from Empoli and recently broke into the Italy senior squad, but adapting to a new league with a fragile defence could prove tricky – he’s hardly an oasis of composure.

      Jack Grealish, Michael Olise and other players set to earn plenty of Bonus Points in Dream Team this season

      by

      THIS coming season promises more Dream Team points than ever before!One element of the overhauled scoring system concerns the allocation of Bonus Points, designed to reward impressive efforts not recognised by Core Points (earned through goals, assists, clean sheets, etc).

      CLICK HERE TO PLAY DREAM TEAM 2023/24 NOW – FREE TO PLAY, AVAILABLE WORLDWIDE, MORE WINNERS THAN EVER BEFORE!

      Ready to collect Bonus PointsCredit: DREAM TEAM
      Bonus Points are determined by the following stats, which add up to give each individual a Player Performance Marks (PPM) score: completed crosses, successful dribbles, pass completion rate, interceptions, blocks, fouls won and goals scored from outside the area.
      Offsides, fouls conceded and errors leading to goals will negatively impact a player’s PPM.

      5-7 Player Performance Marks = 1 Bonus Point
      8-11 PPM = 3 Bonus Points
      12+ PPM = 5 Bonus Points

      Core Points will make up the bulk of a player’s total but think of Bonus Points as welcome extras.
      Dream Team gaffers can view how many Bonus Points each player would have got last season had the new scoring process been applied – although naturally there’s not sufficient data for the newly-promoted clubs.
      Guess who tops the pile…Credit: GETTY
      To save you time, here’s the players who would have earned the most Bonus Points in 2022/23:

      Jack Grealish (£4.5m) – 72 pts
      Michael Olise (£3m) – 69 pts
      Bukayo Saka (£6m) – 60 pts
      James Maddison (£4m) – 58 pts
      Kieran Trippier (£6m) – 57 pts
      Phil Foden (£4.5m) – 53 pts
      Bruno Guimaraes (£3m) – 50 pts
      Trent Alexander-Arnold (£6m) – 49 pts
      Eberechi Eze (£3m) – 48 pts
      Solly March (£3.5m) – 48 pts

      Manchester City’s No10 leads the way thanks mainly to his dribbling ability and his unmatched knack of drawing fouls.
      It’s no surprise to see Crystal Palace’s gifted right winger high up the rankings either – his ability to take players on and his wicked delivery from open play make him a prime candidate for Bonus Points.
      Olise’s favourite conspirator, Eze, also features in the top ten, a indicator that Selhurst Park may be home to its fair share of Bonus Points in the coming months.
      The Eagles’ midfielders look better and better value for money as Gameweek 1 draws near at £3m each.

      The likes of Saka, Maddison, Trippier, Foden and Alexander-Arnold amass lorry-loads of Core Points but this is an indication that the new scoring system will only serve to cement their spots at the top end of the overall rankings.
      Guimaraes is an interesting inclusion and exactly the sort of player Bonus Points are aiming to acknowledge.
      The Brazilian midfielder is evidently an influential figure who contributed greatly to Newcastle’s top-four finish, something his Core Points tally didn’t fully reflect.
      If you’re not one for detailed stats, don’t panic, this theoretical top ten from last season shows that you can trust your observations – you don’t need a spreadsheet to tell you the likes of Grealish, Saka and Maddison have got a bit about them.

      Trent Alexander-Arnold could be the ultimate CHEAT CODE for Dream Team gaffers this season

      by

      ANY Dream Team gaffer worth their salt loves a shortcut.There’s no better feeling than propelling yourself up your Mini League thanks to a lovely loophole.
      This season, Trent Alexander-Arnold (£6m) could be that loophole.

      PLAY DREAM TEAM 2023/24 NOW – MORE CASH WINNERS THAN EVER BEFORE!

      Two players for the price of oneCredit: DREAM TEAM
      Granted, Liverpool’s No66 is hardly an unknown gem who flies under the radar.
      Still just 24 years old, Anfield’s homegrown hero has 54 Premier League assists to his name already – team-mate Andy Robertson (£4.5m) is the only defender with more to his name in the competition’s history and the Scotsman is five years his senior.
      Although the lines are about to be blurred in that regard.
      Alexander-Arnold has played the majority of his minutes in professional football at right-back but he flourished in a midfield role at the back end of last season – the old Joshua Kimmich switcheroo.
      Ahead of the 2023/24 campaign, every indication suggests he will continue to get ample opportunities to flex his creative muscles in the middle of the park.
      In the realm of Dream Team, however, he has been categorised as a defender once again.
      Alexander-Arnold played as a midfielder as a youthCredit: PA
      This is an important distinction because defenders earn five points for every clean sheet – as long as they play at least 60 minutes of the fixture – and midfielders do not.
      If Alexander-Arnold is to play plenty of minutes in midfield while being categorised as a defender then he will benefit from Liverpool clean sheets while simultaneously helping himself to the points on offer to those in more advanced positions.
      He’s essentially two players for the price of one – a cheat code.
      This season, players will receive one point for every big chance created (as defined by OPTA), a metric the Reds’ new vice-captain ranks highly for year after year.
      In fact, in 2022/23, Kevin De Bruyne (£7m) and Bruno Fernandes (£6.5m) were the only players to register more big chances created in the Premier League.
      Surely his impressive playmaking stats will only get better if he’s converted to a genuine midfielder?

      Dream Team assets will also earn a point for every two successful tackles this coming season.
      While many fans would associate tackles with defenders first and foremost, it’s a statistic historically dominated by combative midfielders.
      Add in a point for every shot on target (more likely from midfield than right-back) and the stage is set for Alexander-Arnold to build upon his already majestic Dream Team legacy.
      At £6m he’s comes at a cost, no defender will start Gameweek 1 at a higher price, but even so he may offer plenty of value for money.

      Dream Team 2023/24: Arsenal’s best players, bargain options and potential flops

      by

      DREAM TEAM managers are counting down the days until the new campaign gets underway.And to provide a helping hand, The Sun have taken a closer look at each of last season’s top teams in detail.
      Arsenal are on today’s menu as Mikel Arteta’s enthralling young side look to go one better in the Premier League, while also making their long-awaited return to the Champions League.
      Here, we’ve assembled their best players, bargain options and potential flops.

      Arsenal stars provided plentiful points last seasonCredit: DREAM TEAM
      BEST PLAYERS
      Where to start? Arsenal’s squad is stacked with creative talent and devastating attacking assets.
      As you would imagine, the Gunners are extremely popular among Dream Team managers given their opening league fixtures against Nottingham Forest, Crystal Palace and Fulham.
      Bukayo Saka (£6m) is an absolute lock for many bosses, and has already amassed an ownership of 37.2% – it’s not difficult to see why.
      The winger would have finished the 2022/23 campaign with 263 points had the new scoring system been implemented last year.
      As things stand, he remains Arsenal’s designated penalty-taker and has proven himself almost immune to rotation under Arteta having featured in all 38 league matches last season.
      Gabriel Jesus (£5.5m) is a class act when fit but it’s been reported that the Brazilian will miss the first few weeks of the season through injury – so stay clear for now.
      Martin Odegaard (£5m) is proving to be a popular pick with an ownership of 22.9%, many gaffers are predicting another standout campaign.
      The 24-year-old scored 15 goals and provided eight assists in 45 appearances last season and as club captain he’s a nailed-on starter.
      Honourable mention must go to Gabriel (£4.5m) who would have produced over 200 points in the new scoring system last season – another outfield asset guaranteed nearly every minute.
      POTENTIAL BARGAINS
      Are gaffers sleeping on Leandro Trossard?Credit: GETTY
      Is Leandro Trossard (£3m) being overlooked by the fantasy community?
      The risks attached are obvious with plenty of competition in the pecking order but he has already shown his worth in north London since his January transfer.
      The Belgium international starred in the creative department in particular, providing ten assists in 22 appearances.
      He’s started three of Arsenal’s four pre-season friendlies and notched three goals and an assist – a sign of what’s to come?
      Only 4% of managers have taken the punt on Trossard at this stage.
      It’s fairly risky, but Kai Havertz (£3.5m) has the potential to deliver huge hauls for a fairly low outlay in an Arsenal shirt this season.
      The German clearly has an abundance of talent but failed to fulfil his billing in a disjoined Chelsea side when deployed in an unfamiliar centre-forward role.
      Now at the Emirates, Havertz could thrive in an attacking midfield role, where he’s scored 32 goals and provided 29 assists during his career.
      Early signs look good with the 24-year-old notching goals against Barcelona and MLS All-Stars in pre-season – one to monitor closely.
      POTENTIAL FLOPS

      It’s not necessarily easy to predict anyone flopping in this Arsenal side, especially given how rampant they were at times last season – but, a bigger squad causes selection question marks.
      Mikel Arteta now has an abundance of options in defence, and most are capable of playing in more than one position.
      New recruit Jurrien Timber (£3.5m) has played the majority of his career as a central defender, but can play in either full-back role and has done so during pre-season.
      It’s a similar story for versatile duo Takehiro Tomiyasu (£2.5m) and Jakub Kiwior (£2.5m).
      That could leave Ben White (£4.5m) as a rotation risk.
      The England international was brilliant last season but it wouldn’t be a surprise if had to share his minutes with Timber and possibly even William Saliba (£3.5m).
      He still looks set for healthy season but there may be better options in his price range.
