      5 bargain midfielders capable of rubbing shoulders with Dream Team’s top stars this season

      by

      THERE’S no better feeling for a Dream Team manager than a bargain selection paying off handsomely.Expensive assets such as Erling Haaland (£8.5m), Mohamed Salah (£7m) and Kieran Trippier (£6m) are all well and good but Mini Leagues are often determined by the effectiveness of the less popular, cut-price players.
      With that in mind, we’ve identified five midfielders with a maximum price of £3m capable of mixing it with their more fashionable peers this season.

      Entertainment guaranteedCredit: GETTY
      Eberechi Eze (£3m)
      Crystal Palace’s No10 finished 2022/23 in swaggering form and he’s thoroughly enjoyed himself throughout pre-season as well.
      The return of Roy Hodgson to Selhurst Park seemed to unshackle Eze’s natural talent and with Wilfried Zaha having departed, the onus will be on the 25-year-old to inspire and entertain the Eagles’ supporters.
      The ex-QPR man would have amassed 222 points last season had the new scoring system been implemented and only six midfielders would have earned more bonus points.
      Eze looks a great selection for Gameweek 1 as well with Palace starting against a depleted Sheffield United.
      His chief co-conspirator Michael Olise (£3m) is a viable option too.
      Bruno Guimaraes (£3m)
      A fan favourite at St James’ ParkCredit: AP
      Truth be told, the Brazilian’s hot streak in front of goal the season before last was something of an anomaly.
      Five goals in 40 appearances last term was a more accurate reflection of his profile but the good news is that Dream Team’s improved scoring system should recognise his overall efforts.
      With points for successful tackles, big chances created and shots on target – plus bonus points determined by various other stats – well-rounded midfielders like Guimaraes could clean up.
      The 25-year-old would have earned 199 points last season had the new scoring system been applied and that was without the additional European fixtures he’ll have at his disposal this time around.
      Joao Palhinha (£3m)
      Tackle machineCredit: Rex
      This suggestion all boils to down to one aspect of the game: tackles.
      Fulham’s resident hard man was in a league of his own in terms of midfield donkey work last season – he attempted 147 tackles in the Premier League alone.
      To put that into perspective, Moises Caicedo (£2.5m) was the only other player to reach three figures (100) and only just – the Ecuador international is decent option.
      Dream Team assets will receive one point for every two successful tackles (per fixture) this season, something Palhinha should benefit from more than any other player in the top flight.
      In fact, he would have been more than 100 points better off last season!

      Morgan Gibbs-White (£3m)
      Blocking out the hatersCredit: AFP
      Nottingham Forest’s No10 pulled thrice his weight to ensure his side’s Premier League survival earlier this year.
      The 23-year-old produced several talismanic performances, in conjunction with Brennan Johnson (£3m), to muster 108 points but that total is revised to 185 when factoring in the new scoring system.
      Gibbs-White’s tally of five goals and eight assists may appear nothing more than respectable but the underlying stats suggest he was among the best players in his position last term – he just didn’t have the necessary quality around him.
      Going forward, his individual efforts will be acknowledged in greater detail.
      Moussa Diaby (£3m)
      Will Diaby hit the ground running?Credit: Aston Villa
      If none of the established names float your boat then how about a shiny new toy?
      Aston Villa’s summer signing plays predominantly from the right and while he’s categorised as a midfielder, he could just as easily be described as a wide forward.
      Diaby plundered 14 goals and eleven assists in all competitions for Bayer Leverkusen last season and that impressive tally was no fluke – he registered 31 goal involvements in 2021/22 and 25 in 2020/21.
      Granted, several players have struggled to transfer their Bundesliga success to English shores but at £3m the France international may be worth a whirl.
      Unai Emery’s troops finished last season strongly and they’re likely to have favourable Europa Conference League fixtures to bolster their schedule this term.

      Ricky Hatton’s Dream Team packs a punch – take him on for chance to be among this season’s cash winners!

      by

      POUND for pound, Ricky Hatton’s Dream Team selection could be one of the strongest a-bout.Want to take him on? Well throw your hat in the ring and see what you’ve got!

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

      If you’ve not yet signed up to this season’s Dream Team, you better act fast!
      With the first Premier League game kicking off this Friday night, you don’t want to be losing ground on your mates or other managers.
      Particularly when there’s £50,000 up for grabs for the winner – and 20 runners-up prizes of £1,000 each.
      There’s also a cool £100 to be won EVERY game week.
      If that hasn’t grabbed your attention (we’re sure it did), you can also take on your mates in your own Mini Leagues, or join Celebrity Leagues with big names such as Piers Morgan, Rhian Sugden and Jeremy Clarkson.

      However, judging by his team selection, you’ll have quite the challenge overcoming the former puncher.
      That’s because Manchester City-daft Hatton has selected SEVEN of Pep Guardiola’s side to feature in his XI.
      And it starts in goal with Brazilian shot stopper Ederson (£4.5m) selected between the sticks.
      John Stones (£5m) and Manuel Akanji (£4.5m) look set for a prolonged run in the team and come in cheaper than top-priced City defender Ruben Dias (£5.5m).
      The duo are joined by Brighton skipper Lewis Dunk (£3m) in a back three.

      There’s then three in sky blue in the five-man midfield, with Rodri (£4m) and Jack Grealish (£4.5m) alongside Kevin de Bruyne (£7m) – who features in more than 28% of teams submitted.
      Michael Olise (£3m) of Crystal Palace looks a good value-for-money option, with Dejan Kulusevski (£3m) also involved and seemingly in a better frame of mind playing under new boss Ange Postecoglou.
      Of course, City’s main man Erling Haaland (£8.5m) makes the cut, with over 84% of managers picking the striker so far.
      With a lot of the budget going on Haaland and De Bruyne, Hatton’s opted for Nottingham Forest’s Brennan Johnson (£3m) to round off the side.
      Think you can beat him? Join Dream Team today and take Ricky on (HATTON23 is the pin), your mates and managers all over the world in a bid to win cash and bragging rights.

      Check out this incredibly strong Dream Team that DOESN’T feature goal-machine Erling Haaland

      by

      AT the time of writing, just 15.7% of Dream Team gaffers will start the new season without Erling Haaland (£8.5m) in their ranks.It would be generous to describe this minority as brave given the mountain of points Manchester City’s No9 assembled last season but what if they’re onto something?

      CLICK HERE TO PLAY DREAM TEAM 2023/24 NOW – NEW SEASON STARTS THIS WEEK!

      Betting against Haaland is a risky tacticCredit: DREAM TEAM
      Betting against the Norwegian goal machine feels foolish but he’s by far the most-expensive player in the game.
      Omitting Haaland frees up a lot of budget and opens up intriguing new possibilities.
      Playing devil’s advocate, we attempted to create the strongest possible team that doesn’t feature the Etihad’s resident cyborg.
      All killer, no fillerCredit: DREAM TEAM
      Without Haaland, there’s no need to spend much time browsing Dream Team’s bargain aisle at all.
      Bruno Guimaraes (£3m) is the cheapest player selected here and the Brazilian is a quality midfielder for a team who will play in the Champions League this season.
      World Cup winner Emiliano Martinez (£3.5m) takes his place between the sticks, a choice that will hopefully pay dividends if Aston Villa progress to the Europa Conference League group stages where they should enjoy the luxury of some favourable match-ups.
      Trent Alexander-Arnold (£6m), Manuel Akanji (£4.5m), William Saliba (£3.5m) has to be considered a strong back three that covers most bases.
      The former’s creativity puts most playmakers to shame while the latter pair should be across most clean sheets achieved by the two standout teams of 2022/23.
      Dream Team’s joint-most expensive defenderCredit: GETTY
      The aforementioned Guimaraes is the only member of the midfield quintet who wouldn’t have registered 200+ points last season had the new scoring system been implemented – and he would have only been a fraction short on 199.
      Free from the financial constraints that come with Haaland’s selection, it’s possible to select genuine quality across the board.
      And look at that strike partnership!
      The main concern if you overlook Haaland is that you’ll lack firepower up front but we’ve managed to pair Harry Kane (£7m) with Mohamed Salah (£7m) – the tried-and-tested duo scored 62 goals between them last season.

      Obviously this strategy is dependent on the England captain staying at Tottenham, which isn’t a given by any means, but as things stand our XI looks great on paper.
      All that being said, betting against Haaland is clearly a strategy that comes with immense risk.
      If he opens his account with a hat-trick against Burnley on Friday night – a realistic scenario – then gaffers without him will feel very silly indeed.
      Good luck to all those willing to take the risk!

      Josko Gvardiol a perfect cog for Manchester City’s winning machine but how will he impact Dream Team?

      by

      DREAM TEAM managers will have to cough up £5million of their initial £50million budget if they wish to back Josko Gvardiol ahead of Gameweek 1.The Croatian defender has been added to the game at the same price as John Stones (£5m), Luke Shaw (£5m) and Virgil van Dijk (£5m), three defenders who have produced plenty of points between them in recent years.
      So why has Manchester City’s new signing been slapped with such a costly price tag when he’s unproven on English shores?

      Dream Team 2023/24: Manchester City’s best players, bargain options & potential flops

      by

      THE new Dream Team season gets underway this week!Almost every gaffer will want to start Gameweek 1 with multiple Manchester City players in their XI.
      Pep Guardiola’s side racked up mountains of points on their way to a treble in 2022/23 but with so many viable options it can be difficult to strike upon the perfect balance.

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

      Class is permanentCredit: DREAM TEAM
      Here we’ve assembled the defending champions’ absolute best players, bargains options and potential flops.
      BEST PLAYERS
      Let’s not pretend Erling Haaland (£8.5m) isn’t the blindingly obvious candidate to top this category.
      Last season the Norwegian poacher became just the second man to ever achieve 400+ Dream Team points in a single season.
      He’s comfortably the most-expensive player in the game this time around but even so his ownership is a monstrous 84.7%.
      Good luck to the 15.3% of gaffers prepared to go without Haaland, you’re going to need it.
      Every year Kevin De Bruyne (£7m) is among the most-expensive assets in the game and every year he’s worth it.
      Fizzing crosses, rasping shots, pinpoint passes… the brilliant Belgian is the kind of midfielder a mad scientist would grow in a laboratory.
      Had the new scoring system been implemented last season, KDB would have amassed 331 points – enough said.
      Stones was excellent at the back end of 2022/23Credit: GETTY
      A timely reminder that John Stones (£5m) may well be a Dream Team cheat code this season.
      The England international is classified as a defender but it’s likely he’ll play his fair share of minutes in the hybrid role he fulfilled so impressively post-World Cup.
      If Stones is to play alongside Rodri (£4m) in Guardiola’s 3-2-4-1 system then he will be more likely to acquire points related to midfield duties while also directly benefiting from clean sheets.
      BARGAIN OPTIONS
      Such is City’s pedigree, even their semi-regulars start with moderately costly price tags.
      While genuine bargains are nonexistent, there may still be value for money to be had at the Etihad.
      For example, Manuel Akanji (£4.5m) is a full £1million cheaper than Ruben Dias (£5.5m) and may well match the Portuguese centre-back’s tally.
      So much more than an understudyCredit: GETTY
      It may surprise some gaffers to learn that Julian Alvarez (£4m) would have finished on 227 points last season had the new scoring system been applied.
      The World Cup winner spends a lot time of the bench but he’s made the most of his minutes on the pitch and the fact he’ll start the campaign cheaper than Ollie Watkins (£4.5m) and Callum Wilson (£4.5m) represents potential value.
      For those impressed by his Community Shield finish, Cole Palmer (£2m) is very cheap but it would be a bold move to back the 21-year-old from the get-go.
      POTENTIAL FLOPS
      The words ‘flop’ and ‘Man City’ don’t go together in the realm of Dream Team but that doesn’t mean gaffers can just select any player and expect healthy returns.
      Kalvin Phillips (£2m) will be hopeful of more opportunities this season but the gulf in quality between him and Rodri has been unavoidable in recent times.
      Kovacic is an excellent player but there are better options in Dream TeamCredit: REX
      Mateo Kovacic (£3m) is a very fine footballer but he doesn’t have the same eye for goal Ilkay Gundogan displayed in his final seasons under Guardiola.
      The Croatian technician may have an inviting price for a Man City midfielder but there are better options in his range – Eberechi Eze (£3m), Moussa Diaby (£3m), Bruno Guimaraes (£3m) for three.
      Finally, please be aware that Kyle Walker (£3.5m) may be on his way out – his current ownership of 9.9% is very high.
      In fact, even if the speedy right-back stays, he tends not to earn the points some think his performances deserve – he would have mustered a moderate 138 last season in the new scoring system.

      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.
