Dream Team

THE first day of May heralds the final month of the regular Dream Team season.There’s still plenty of time for some decisive twists and turns but now is the time for reflection upon what has been a captivating campaign.Dream Team introduced a new and improved scoring system in 2023/24 that recognises individual performance in greater detail than ever before.With the season almost at an end, let’s analyse which players have led the way in the key statistics.PLAY SCORE PREDICTOR AHEAD OF THIS WEEKEND’S ACTION – SOMEBODY MUST WIN £500 IN CASH!Can Foden hold off Saka to finish the season as Dream Team’s top dog?Credit: Dream TeamDREAM TEAM POINTS
Phil Foden (£5.8m) – 350 pts
Bukayo Saka (£5.8m) – 347 pts
Erling Haaland (£7m) – 336 pts
Cole Palmer (£5.4m) – 326 pts
Bruno Fernandes (£5.6m) – 310 pts
We start with the metric that matters most.Barring a late charge from Haaland, it’s seemingly a two-way contest between the two English midfielders for the crown – the pair have been neck-and-neck all season long.Palmer deserves huge credit for his breakout campaign as he’s the only player among the top 18 performers who hasn’t had European fixtures to bolster his fixtures at any point this term.Most read in FootballFernandes has tapped into some formidable form since the turn of year, in spite of Manchester United’s underwhelming efforts as a collective.GOALS
Erling Haaland (£7m) – 32
Mohamed Salah (£6.5m) – 24
Alexander Isak (£4.5m) – 23
Ollie Watkins (£5m) – 23
Cole Pamer (£5.4m) – 23
Phil Foden (£5.8m) – 23
The Norwegian poacher is once again clear in the goalscoring department and currently leads the Premier League Golden Boot race too with 21 goals to Palmer’s 20.It will be interesting to see what heights the ever-improving Isak can reach if he’s blessed with an injury-free campaign.Who else?Credit: Dream TeamASSISTS
Darwin Nunez (£4.9m) – 18
Ollie Watkins (£5m) – 17
Kevin De Bruyne (£6.2m) – 17
Anthony Gordon (£3.9m) – 16
Bukayo Saka (£5.8m) – 16
Liverpool’s No9 has copped plenty of criticism again this season but his return of 36 goal involvements (18 goals, 18 assists) has to be respected.Watkins is the only player who features in the top five for both goals and assists – evidence of yet another magnificent campaign.The Aston Villa striker has reached another level under Unai Emery’s tutelage.It’s not unusual to see De Bruyne among the most prolific assist-providers but his presence in this list is worth highlighting because injuries have restricted him to just 20 appearances to date.SHOTS ON TARGET
Erling Haaland (£7m) – 79
Darwin Nunez (£4.9m) – 67
Mohamed Salah (£6.5m) – 63
Cole Palmer (£5.4m) – 60
Phil Foden (£5.8m) – 57
Plenty of overlap with the top scorers list here, with Nunez being the exception.The Uruguay international offers a persistent threat but he remains inefficient in the final third.Even a slight increase in composure would send his stats into orbit.An enigmatic figureCredit: GettyBIG CHANCES CREATED
Bruno Fernandes (£5.6m) – 29
Mohamed Salah (£6.5m) – 26
Kevin De Bruyne (£6.2m) – 20
Cole Palmer (£5.4m) – 19
Dwight McNeil (£3.5m) – 17
James Ward-Prowse (£3.9m) – 17
Kieran Trippier (£4.3m) – 17
The Red Devils’ captain is unlikely to win many popularity contests but it would be foolish to underestimate his effectiveness as a creator.Rasmus Hojlund (£3.6m), Marcus Rashford (£3.4m) and company should have made more of Fernandes’ playmaking this season.Some critics have labelled Palmer a “penalty specialist” with selfish tendencies but his presence in this list suggests he’s offered plenty of assistance for his team-mates too – what can’t he do?Credit to McNeil for plugging away despite Everton’s conversion issues in the final third.Trippier a notable inclusion as the only defender. TACKLES
Joao Palhinha (£3.4m) – 164
Vinicius Souza (£2.3m) – 122
Alexis Mac Allister (£4.5m) – 121
Joao Gomes (£2.7m) – 117
Emerson (£2.9m) – 117
Fulham’s midfielder general is in a league of his own in this regard, just as he was last season.Palhinha gets through a tremendous amount of work in the middle of park and takes no prisoners when the ball is there to be won – he’s picked up 13 yellow cards for his troubles.Mac Allister has been one of Liverpool’s better players this season and it’s impressive that he boasts such a high tackle count playing for a team that tends to dominate possession and territory – which isn’t the case for Souza at Sheffield United.

William Saliba (£3.8m) – 20
Ben White (£4.6m) – 20
Gabriel (£4.4m) – 19
David Raya (£3.6m) – 18
James Tarkowski (£3m) – 15
It’s been total domination from Arsenal in this department this season.If they end up edging out Man City to win the title then their superior defence will be the decisive factor.For all the Toffees’ problems in attack, their defence has held firm for the most part, as one would expect of a Sean Dyche side.SAVES
Andre Onana (£3m) – 172
Jose Sa (£2.6m) – 138
Thomas Kaminski (£1.7m) – 135
Bernd Leno (£2.5m) – 133
Alphonse Areola (£2.1m) 129
Manchester United’s goalkeeper has been asked to work overtime in his first season at Old Trafford.The Cameroon international was guilty of some glaring errors before Christmas but it’s also true that he’s been offered little in the way of protection.Such is the extent of Onana’s save count, he’s currently the leading asset in his position with 184 points to his name.Onana probably didn’t expect to be quite so active this seasonCredit: PABONUS POINTS
Bruno Guimaraes (£4.4m) – 75
Mohammed Kudus (£5.4m) – 64
Pascal Gross (£4.3m) – 55
Ezri Konsa (£3.5m) – 52
Jeremy Doku (£3.9m) – 51
Bukayo Saka (£5.8m) – 51
Phil Foden (£5.8m) – 51
Bonus points are designed to recognise influential contributions not covered by the aforementioned metrics and it’s no surprise to see Newcastle’s all-action midfielder leading the way.Guimaraes ranks highly for successful dribbles, fouls won and interceptions – he fulfils at least two roles in the Magpies’ engine room.READ MORE SUN STORIESKudus has earned his mountain of bonus points almost exclusively through dribbling – he’s completed the most take-ons among Premier League players in 2023/24, even with a brief departure for Africa Cup of Nations duties.The Villa Park faithful will enjoy seeing fan favourite Konsa mixing with the highly-rated midfielders.talkSPORT BET Welcome offer

AT this late stage of the season, many Dream Team managers will be in need of a difference maker.The likes of Bukayo Saka (£5.8m) and Ollie Watkins (£5m) are fantastic players but their returns are unlikely to change the outlook of many Mini Leagues, such is their popularity.With that in mind, let’s run through the seven best players, as determined by total points, who currently feature in fewer than 5% of teams.CLICK HERE TO PLAY SCORE PREDICTOR FOR FREE – £500 CASH PRIZE MUST BE WON!World-class dribblerCredit: Dream TeamMohammed Kudus

West Ham’s skilful midfielder leads the way in this department having averaged 6.5 points-per-game this term.The Ghana star has scored 12 goals and provided eight assists but it’s his ability to rack up bonus points that makes him such an appealing asset.Only Bruno Guimaraes (£4.4m) has earned more bonus points (75) than Kudus (64) with the former having played four more games.The 23-year-old is sixth among midfielders in the rankings and tenth overall at the time of writing – what a signing he’s been for the Hammers.Most read in FootballPascal Gross

Brighton’s results have fallen off a cliff in the second half of the season and so many Dream Team bosses will want to stay clear of Roberto De Zerbi’s favourites until they’re back on track.However, the Seagulls have four fixtures remaining in 2023/24 when most teams have just three to play so Gross, who averages 5.7 points-per-game, could be considered a viable differential.UnderappreciatedCredit: APThe German midfielder has registered 14 assists and, like Kudus, he’s a keen bonus point hoarder having pocketed 55 to date.Gross is an underrated, adaptable player who suits Dream Team’s new scoring system.It’s worth noting that Brighton’s remaining fixtures are relatively tricky: Aston Villa, Newcastle, Chelsea, Manchester United.Conor Gallagher

Cole Palmer (£5.4m) is obviously the best Chelsea player to own for the final Gameweeks of the campaign but gaffers should at least consider reinforcements given the Blues have four fixtures to play from the start of Gameweek 34.Gallagher found goal involvements hard to come earlier in the season but he’s now notched 16 (six goals, ten assists) and he’s just three tackles short of a century.Add in 46 bonus points and the Blues’ homegrown midfielder has to considered a well-rounded asset with multiple avenues to points.Chelsea face Tottenham this week but their remaining fixtures are fairly friendly: West Ham, Nottingham Forest, Brighton, Bournemouth.240 points and countingCredit: GettyJoao Pedro

The Brazilian forward was almost a must-have asset at one stage of the season but there’s no doubt he’s tailed off.He’s yet to score since his comeback from injury, which sidelined him for almost two months, and he hasn’t even registered a shot on target in his last four outings.Still, his overall tally of 19 goals has to respected, even if a significant portion of those came from the penalty spot.Dominic Solanke

Aston Villa are certainly a team to target in the coming Gameweeks as they’re the last English team active in Europe.If the Villains get past Olympiacos in the Europa Conference League semi-finals then they’ll be the outright busiest team from Gameweek 34 to the end of the campaign.Leon Bailey (£3.7m) and Moussa Diaby (£3.1m) are tempting options (alongside the essential Ollie Watkins) but McGinn is actually the top performer among Villa’s midfielders.The Scotland international has 17 goal involvements to his name but, like Gallagher, he tops up his returns with tackles and bonus points.Douglas Luiz

DREAM TEAM managers have generally been frustrated by Manchester City defenders this season.While the likes of Phil Foden (£5.8m) and Erling Haaland (£7m) have supplied massive returns in attack, Pep Guardiola’s side have found clean sheets relatively hard to come by in 2023/24.Plus, the decorated tactician’s rotation policy means even the more reliable performers in the squad have to sit on the bench from time to time.As a result, Man City do not have a representative inside the top ten Dream Team defenders at the time of writing.It’s not too early to play our EUROS BRACKET CHALLENGE game – win an Apple iPhone 15 Pro Max 256GB!Man City defenders haven’t performed as well in Dream Team this seasonCredit: PAThis has to be considered something of a surprise given the Citizens are favourites to complete a domestic double in the coming weeks.For comparison, Liverpool have two defenders within the top ten while Arsenal dominate the position with Ben White (£4.6m), Gabriel (£4.4m) and William Saliba (£3.8m) making up the podium as it stands.Understandably, many Dream Team bosses have decided to stay clear of City defenders altogether but Josko Gvardiol (£3.9m) has tested this group’s resolve of late.The Croatia international has discovered a rare goalscoring touch – his emphatic near-post header against Nottingham Forest on Sunday was his third goal in his last five appearances.Playing almost exclusively as a left-back, Gvardiol has proved himself capable of useful contributions in attack, despite making his name as a centre-back.Most read in Dream TeamA man in formCredit: Dream TeamThe 22-year-old’s recent goal involvements (he also provided an assist against Luton in Gameweek 31) coupled with the odd clean sheet have resulted in him banking 61 points across the last five Gameweeks.In fact, he now averages 5.3 points-per-game this term, a rate only bettered by three other assets in his position: Trent Alexander-Arnold (£5.3m), Pedro Porro (£3.5m) and Kieran Trippier (£4.3m).Gvardiol is a particularly appealing option for the remainder of the season because City have five fixtures left to fulfil.The defending champions are among the select group of six clubs set to pull double duty in Gameweek 35 and their showdown with Manchester United in the FA Cup final means they have a fixture in Gameweek 37, by which time the vast majority of teams will already be on summer break.For comparison, Arsenal and Liverpool are among the 13 clubs with just three games left to play this campaign.A smart selection for the remainder of the campaign?Credit: AlamyGaffers intent on squeezing the schedule for all its worth, a smart strategy, should therefore consider recruiting Gvardiol for the run-in.Such a move comes with risk as he’s not immune from rotation but he does seem to be first-choice left-back at present and his impressive form should count in his favour.City face Wolves, Fulham, Tottenham and West Ham in their final four league games before the FA Cup final on May 25th.talkSPORT BET Welcome offer

FOR all intents and purposes, Liverpool’s season is over.The Reds were firmly in the Premier League title race for the majority of the campaign but that’s become a two-horse race between Manchester City and Arsenal in recent weeks.This coupled with their elimination from the Europa League at the hands of Atalanta means Jurgen Klopp’s farewell tour is set to end in anticlimactic fashion.The German gaffer lifted the Carabao Cup back in February to ensure his final campaign at Anfield featured at least one crowning moment but Dream Team managers will have noticed that Liverpool’s 2023/24 is fizzling out.It’s not too early to play our EUROS BRACKET CHALLENGE game – win an Apple iPhone 15 Pro Max 256GB!Many gaffers have already transferred Salah out of their teams this weekCredit: Dream TeamLiverpool assets have performed brilliantly again this season with seven of them having racked up 200+ points to date – Virgil van Dijk (£3.7m), Alexis Mac Allister (£4.5m), Trent Alexander-Arnold (£5.2m), Cody Gakpo (£4m), Luis Diaz (£4.5m), Darwin Nunez (£4.9m) and Mohamed Salah (£6.5m).The latter is one of just six players to have celebrated a triple century of points this term.But should gaffers ditch Klopp’s favourites for the remainder of the season?Saturday’s 2-2 draw was further evidence that the well is running dry but the primary development came before kick-off when it was revealed that Salah and Nunez were dropped from the starting line-up.Both of the popular forwards came off the bench to register one-point hauls with the Egyptian superstar sharing a frosty moment with Klopp on the touchline.Most read in FootballSalah is Dream Team’s sixth most-selected asset right now with an ownership of 32% but he’s likely to be among the most transferred-out players prior to Gameweek 34.Not the most harmonious end to Klopp’s reignCredit: ReutersIt’s early days but the top four most-ditched players so far this week are all Anfield residents: Salah, Van Dijk, Nunez and Diaz.The collective dip in form is just one aspect for gaffers to consider; the schedule doesn’t favour Liverpool either.Salah and company have just three fixtures left to fulfil this season whereas Manchester City, Manchester United, Chelsea, Tottenham and Aston Villa have five games each – the Villains might have six if they get past Olympiacos in the Europa Conference League semi-finals.Of course, Liverpool assets still have the capacity to provide healthy returns across the remaining Gameweeks.They’re due to plays Spurs, Villa and Wolves with the former and latter fixtures to take place at Anfield – Liverpool have earned more points at home than any other top-flight side this campaign.Salah may have gone off the boil recently but his overall return of 24 goals and 13 assists speaks for itself.While Alexander-Arnold averages 6.1 points-per-game this season, the highest rate among all defenders.Man City’s extra fixtures should yield healthy returnsCredit: GettyHowever, logic dictates that a switch to busier players will yield profits.Ollie Watkins (£5m) is a very strong option for the final few Gameweeks of the season and Erling Haaland’s (£7m) return to the scoresheet will inevitably prompt a wave of transfers.READ MORE SUN STORIESThe in-form Alexander Isak (£4.5m) is another tempting alternative to Salah/Nunez – Newcastle have a double header coming up in Gameweek 35.Many of the top gaffers will pivot from Liverpool to Man City this week.talkSPORT BET Welcome offer

ASTON VILLA, Tottenham and Chelsea are the three teams with two fixtures to fulfil in Gameweek 33.Consequently, Dream Team managers should shop around these clubs when deciding upon their latest transfers. Before we recommend some niche suggestions, let’s highlight a couple of obvious options that should be at the forefront of every gaffer’s mind.CLICK HERE TO PLAY SCORE PREDICTOR FOR FREE – £500 CASH PRIZE MUST BE WON!A popular man ahead of Gameweek 33Credit: ReutersOllie Watkins (£5m) is deservedly the most-popular recruit ahead of Gameweek 33 with the Villains set to host Chelsea and Olympiacos in back-to-back home games.The England international has scored 23 goals and provided 17 assists in all competitions this season and he would have been salivating at the sight of the Blues’ limp performance against Arsenal in midweek.A meeting with Greek opposition in the Europa Conference League semi-finals on Thursday only sweetens the deal.Cole Palmer (£5.3m) is other standout name among the assets with two fixtures this coming Gameweek but his viability depends wholly on his availability.Illness prevented his involvement against the Gunners but he racked up 120 points in just seven Gameweeks before that fixture.If the Golden Boot contender recovers in time to start against Aston Villa and Spurs then he has to considered a strong option.Most read in FootballSon returned plenty of points last time he met ArsenalCredit: APSon Heung-min (£4.6m)Many gaffers would also consider Spurs’ No7 an obvious choice but his current ownership of 11.2% suggests it’s worth outlining his credentials in full.The South Korean forward faces a tricky double header in the form of Arsenal and Chelsea but he has a decent record against the so-called big teams – he bagged a brace against the Gunners back in September.Son averages seven points-per-game in 2023/24 – only Erling Haaland (£7m) and Mohamed Salah (£6.7m) boast better rates among strikers at present.All 24 of his goal involvements have come in the Premier League and with Ange Postecoglou’s side also set to pull double duty again in Gameweek 35, Son is a tempting option for the remainder of the campaign.Leon Bailey (£3.5m) and/or Moussa Diaby (£3m)Stocking up on Villa assets could work out in the long runCredit: Dream TeamDream Team bosses should also look ahead at the schedule when formulating their latest strategy.Villa’s second leg against Olympiacos will take place in Greece the following Gameweek (34) meaning Unai Emery’s side will play FOUR fixtures in the same time the vast majority of clubs will be action just twice.Loading up on Villa assets is therefore a logical ploy.The aforementioned Watkins is clearly the top priority but Bailey and Diaby also notched double-digit hauls against Bournemouth last weekend.Neither are guaranteed to start both fixtures this coming Gameweek but they should get their fair share of minutes – the Jamaican winger in particular has shown he can make positive impact in quick time.Bailey has 12 goals and 15 assists to his name this season while Diaby has nine goals and ten assists.Alexander Isak (£4.6m)Sheffield United’s leaky defence visit St James’ Park this weekendCredit: GettyAway from the double headers, Newcastle’s No14 will be a popular recruit ahead of a home game against Sheffield United.The Blades have now conceded more goals than Derby County’s infamous 2007/08 outfit and it’s not unthinkable they will become the first team to ship 100 goals in a 38-game Premier League campaign.Isak may even fancy his chances of entering the Golden Boot race this weekend (he’s currently three goals shy of Erling Haaland and Cole Palmer) having enjoyed himself against far sturdier defences in recent months.The Sweden international has amassed 47 points across the last four Gameweeks and is likely to cash in against Chris Wilder’s beleaguered troops.READ MORE SUN STORIESLooking further ahead, the Magpies play Burnley in Gameweek 34 and are among the six teams with two fixtures to fulfil in Gameweek 35 – Isak is a smart option.Lock in your transfers before Saturday’s 11:30am deadline!talkSPORT BET Welcome offer

DREAM TEAM managers should expand their minds ahead of Gameweek 33.Manchester City, Liverpool and Arsenal have justifiably been in focus for much of the season but the schedule urges gaffers to look elsewhere at this late juncture.Tottenham, Aston Villa and Chelsea are the only teams set to fulfil two fixtures this coming Gameweek and so selecting a captain from one of these three sides should yield profitable returns.Let’s run through the best options.CLICK HERE TO PLAY SCORE PREDICTOR FOR FREE – £500 CASH PRIZE MUST BE WON!A reliable performerCredit: GettyFirst and foremost, it’s hard to look past Ollie Watkins (£5m).The Villains host Chelsea and Olympiacos in back-to-back home games with the latter coming in the form of a Europa Conference League semi-final.The England international deserves immense credit for his efforts this season; he’s notched 23 goals and 17 assists in all competitions.His tally of 291 points puts him third in the Dream Team rankings among assets in his position and on current form he’s set to catch Mohamed Salah (£6.7m), who is just nine points ahead with fewer fixtures remaining.Watkins has plundered 43 points across the last three Gameweeks and he’ll be licking his lips at the prospect of facing Mauricio Pochettino’s mob following the Blues’ 5-0 humiliation at the hands of Arsenal last time out.Most read in Dream TeamCole Palmer (£5.3m) missed the trip to the Emirates with illness but he must also be considered a strong captaincy candidate if he’s deemed available for Gameweek 33.A weapon when availableCredit: APThe 21-year-old is one of very few players with more points than Watkins at this stage of the campaign, he’s amassed 323 at an average of 8.1 per fixture.Deadly from the penalty spot and highly impressive in open play, the former Man City youngster has scored 23 goals and provided 15 assists this season.Chelsea looked lost without him in midweek and they face a tricky double header this coming Gameweek in the form of Villa and Spurs but Palmer’s record is truly astonishing.Alternatively, how about Son Heung-min (£4.6m)?Son scored a brace in the last North London derbyCredit: Dream TeamThe South Korean superstar also faces a difficult double header with a crunch North London derby this Sunday before a visit to Stamford Bridge on Thursday.However, Spurs’ No7 has a good record against the big teams – he bagged a brace against the Gunners back in September.Erling Haaland (£7m) and Salah are the only forwards who average more points-per-game than Son this season.Plus, all of his 24 goal involvements have come in the Premier League.It appears to be a three-way conversation between Watkins, Son and Palmer for the captain’s armband in Gameweek 33, assuming the latter is fit.Watkins will probably be the popular choice as he has the more favourable fixtures.Captain fantastic?Credit: GettyTime is running out for gaffers to play any remaining Boosters.Those with Park the Bus still in the holster should probably wait for Gameweek 35 when six teams will pull double duty.This could be the perfect time to activate 12th Man though, with the aforementioned trio of Watkins, Palmer and Son being the prime nominees.Villa’s top scorer certainly feels like a must-have asset this coming Gameweek one way or the other.As with Park the Bus, Max Captain is probably best deployed in Gameweek 35 although only one Booster can be played at a time so those with both should make a decision as soon as possible.READ MORE SUN STORIESDream Team bosses with Watkins, Palmer and Son in their XI could opt for Max Captain to guarantee the best results.Lock in your captain and any Boosters you wish to play before Saturday’s 11:30am deadline.talkSPORT BET Welcome offer
