Dream Team

WEST HAM’S midfielders have taken Dream Team by storm this season.Jarrod Bowen’s (£5.3m) tally of nine goals in all competitions is the most among all assets in his position and his total of 123 points puts him third in the rankings.
James Ward-Prowse (£4.5m) and Lucas Paqueta (£4.2m) are also among the top eight midfielders with the former leading the way in terms of bonus points (28) among all players.
However, two other Hammers’ midfielders have come to the fore of late in the form of Tomas Soucek (£3.7m) and Mohammed Kudus (£4.2m).

The Ghana international was a ray of light in an otherwise dull affair between David Moyes’ side and Crystal Palace on Sunday.
Kudus opened the scoring in what ended a 1-1 draw but what really caught the eye from a Dream Team perspective was the 23-year-old’s haul of five bonus points – the maximum available for a single fixture and a relatively rare achievement.
When all was said and done, the ex-Ajax man banked 14 points – only Enzo Fernandez (£3.1m) has bagged more so far this Gameweek.
More broadly, Kudus has earned 51 points since the start of Gameweek 10, averaging 7.3 points-per-game during this fruitful run.
As for Soucek, Sunday’s fixture was the first in nearly a month in which he didn’t score.

The Czech workhorse has always been a threat in the opposition’s penalty area, as he exhibited with goals against Nottingham Forest, Burnley and Backa Topola in November.
West Ham’s No28 has produced 31 points across his last four outings.

At the time of writing, Kudus features in 1% of teams while Soucek’s ownership is just 0.6%.
It’s hardly surprising this pair have generally been overlooked as Dream Team bosses are spoiled for choice even if they restrict their hunt for a viable midfielder to the London Stadium.
West Ham are the only team with FIVE representatives inside Dream Team’s top 20 midfielders – a remarkable effort for a club currently ninth in the league table.
The Irons have already qualified for the knockout stages of the Europa League so this theme could extend well into the new year.

Now he’s fit again, Bowen has to be considered the optimum selection as he’s essentially a forward – he’s notched 20 shots on target in all competitions.
However, the England international is costly at £5.3m.
Gaffers on a tighter budget would probably be better served by Kudus, arguably the most talented of the midfield crop.

What’s clear is that Dream Team managers would be foolish to underrate West Ham’s midfield contingent.
Bowen, Ward-Prowse, Paqueta, Soucek and Kudus have 526 points between them already!

ARSENAL fans would have been very happy with how the weekend played out.The Gunners were among the first sides to play in Gameweek 14 and they got the job done at home to Wolves in the form of a 2-1 win.
Mikel Arteta’s men then watched on as Aston Villa, Manchester City and Tottenham, all rivals at the top end of the table, dropped points.
It was almost the perfect weekend for the red half of North London as Liverpool were 3-2 down in the 80th minute at home to Fulham on Sunday but the Reds pulled off a late comeback to extend their 100% home record in the league this season.

At the time of writing, Arsenal are two points clear of Jurgen Klopp’s side at the top of the table having earned 33 points from their first 14 league fixtures.
Things are looking rosy in Europe too as they are guaranteed to finish top of their Champions League group no matter what happens against PSV next week.
There’s plenty to admire about Arsenal of late from a Dream Team perspective but Martin Odegaard (£5m) arguably stole the show on Saturday.
The Norway international looked back to his best as he created six chances (three of them ‘big chances’) and scored a goal against Gary O’Neil’s side.
When all was said and done, Arsenal’s captain banked 11 points to continue his impressive form since returning from injury.
Odegaard has returned in sparkling formCredit: Dream Team
Odegaard sat our four games out of five between Gameweeks 10 and 12 but he’s produced 24 points in three outings since coming back into the fold.
Most read in Dream Team
It’s a small sample size but two goals in his last two games (against Lens and Wolves) have gone a long way to removing any doubts about the 24-year-old’s condition – he was clearly hampered a few weeks back.
The former Real Madrid midfielder has generally been a superb Dream Team asset when fully fit since he arrived on English shores.
In fact, he’s now seventh among players in his position having moved onto 111 points for the season – an excellent effort considering he recently skipped a few games.

Arsenal are flying highCredit: Getty
Bukayo Saka (£6.6m) remains the headline act when discussing Arsenal midfielders – he’s top dog in his position with 160 points – but Odegaard should not be overlooked.
The Norwegian playmaker has scored seven goals in all competitions and he ranks fourth among midfielders for shots on target.
At £5m he doesn’t come cheap and for just £0.1m more gaffers could get Phil Foden (£5.1m), who is second only to Saka in the midfield rankings.
Arteta’s side will be heavy favourites against Luton this week but their fixtures turn as of Gameweek 15 – Aston Villa (a), PSV (a), Brighton (h) and Liverpool (a) represents a tricky spell leading up to Christmas.
Still, Odegaard’s returns are worth monitoring closely – he’s the fourth-most popular midfielder currently with an ownership of 22.1%.

ON Saturday, Nick Pope (£4.2m) became the first goalkeeper to reach 100 Dream Team points this season.However, the celebration was short lived as Newcastle’s custodian dislocated his shoulder late on during his side’s 1-0 win over Manchester United at St James’ Park.
It’s since been reported the England international faces FIVE months on the sidelines.
Pope faces a frustrating spell on the sidelinesCredit: Dream Team
The Magpies have been plagued by injuries of late and this setback comes as a huge blow in what is shaping up to be an ultra competitive Premier League campaign.
Pope has once again been a reliable performer between the sticks this term, as evidenced by his century of Dream Team points.
By way of a comparison, only one other asset in his position, Andre Onana (£4m), has more than 70 points at the time of writing.
Pope is also the second-most popular keeper in the game, leaving 12.9% of gaffers in need of an urgent replacement.
While this is clearly a major headache for Eddie Howe and the Toon faithful, is it possible Dream Team bosses may be able to turn Pope’s unfortunate injury to their advantage?
All eyes on Martin DubravkaCredit: Getty
The 31-year-old’s absence leaves the door open for Martin Dubravka (£1.6m) to step up.
The veteran Slovak came on for Pope in the 86th minute at the weekend and will almost certainly start at Goodison Park on Thursday night and for the foreseeable future.
Most read in Football
Only Arsenal have conceded fewer league goals than Newcastle this season and so Dubravka offers a dirt-cheap route into one of the best defensive units around.
A straight swap from Pope to the 34-year-old would immediately free up an additional £2.6m, which could potentially be invested in improvements elsewhere.
There’s no denying Pope is the superior keeper of the two and Newcastle’s chances of registering further clean sheets are reduced in his absence but many Dream Team managers will feel the price difference offers ample compensation.
Hypothetically, transferring Dubravka in for Pope for would allow enough budget to upgrade Ezri Konsa (£3m) or Thiago Silva (£3m) to the in-form Trent Alexander-Arnold (£5.6m) – surely a net-positive for such a team.
Newcastle have had terrible luck with injuries this seasonCredit: Getty
Granted, Gameweek 15 is a tricky one for Newcastle on paper – they travel to Spurs before hosting AC Milan.
But look further ahead and there’s every reason to be hopeful of clean sheets.
Howe’s side face Fulham, Chelsea, Luton and Nottingham Forest before the turn of the year.
Backing a cheap reserve keeper suddenly thrust into the starting line-up can yield healthy returns but gaffers only have to look at Sunday’s result at Anfield to see how such a ploy can backfire.
Caoimhin Kelleher (£1.9m) started for Liverpool against Fulham in Alisson’s (£3.7m) absence but ended up fishing the ball out of his net three times.
The Irish deputy registered just one point in what was a favourable match-up on paper as the game ended 4-3 to the Reds.
Jurgen Klopp’s side travel to Bramall Lane on Wednesday so Kelleher may yet be able to salvage Gameweek 14.

There’s also the possibility that Dubravka will only get the nod in the short term as Newcastle will be able to sign another keeper to deputise for Pope in January if they wish.

The club could also pick up a free agent, a certain David de Gea perhaps?
Gaffers will need to keep up with the latest news regarding this situation but, at this stage, Dubravka is an appealing bargain option.

DREAM TEAM managers can have no complaints about Manchester City’s attack this season.Erling Haaland (£8.1m) is comfortably the game’s top performer again this term with Phil Foden (£5.1m) and Julian Alvarez (£4.3m) also among the top eight.
And there’s plenty of points to be had if gaffers catch Jeremy Doku (£4.3m) and Bernardo Silva (£4m) at the right moments too.
In defence, however, there are huge question marks.
City have conceded plenty of goals latelyCredit: Dream Team
Pep Guardiola’s conceded three goals at home to Tottenham on Sunday to register their third consecutive draw in the Premier League.
In fact, the treble winners have conceded ten goals in their last four outings in all competitions.
More broadly, City have kept just three clean sheets in 17 fixtures since the start of September – certainly not a record that tallies with the general perception of the reigning champions.
John Stones (£4.4m) has been absent for the majority of the campaign through injury and perhaps that’s been a factor but given the experience and quality of the regularly-selected individuals at the back, it’s still a surprise Guardiola’s men have conceded as many goals as they have of late.
Naturally, this has translated to severely underwhelming returns in the realm of Dream Team.
Ederson (£3.4m) has registered four points since the start of Gameweek 12 and now finds himself sixth in the goalkeeper rankings.
Most read in Football
This is notable because the Brazilian is by far and away the most-selected asset in his position with an ownership of 21.6%.
Ederson shipped three to Spurs on SundayCredit: Reuters
Similarly, Kyle Walker (£3.4m) is the second-most popular defender right now with the rapid right-back featuring in 33.3% of teams – he too has mustered just four points across his last four outings.
The England international’s total of 74 points puts him joint-15th among defenders – a clear disparity between his performance and his popularity.
Both Ruben Dias (£3.9m) and Nathan Ake (£3.7m) are among the top ten most-selected players in their position as well and yet they have just 58 points each to show for their efforts – 31 defenders have more at this stage.
Simply put, Ederson and his defenders aren’t worth the investment on current form but will the schedule facilitate an reversal of fortunes soon?

Walker is Dream Team’s second-most popular defenderCredit: Reuters
City travel to Villa Park to face the Premier League’s top scorers in midweek – a tough test – but they face a friendly double header of Luton and Red Star Belgrade in Gameweek 15.
After that, it’s Crystal Palace, Everton, Sheffield United and Huddersfield – a favourable run that extends into the new year.
There’s every chance Walker and company will replenish their points in the coming weeks but surely the best strategy is to back to Haaland and the attacking assets.
Dream Team bosses who own both Ederson and Walker have a decision to make this week: stick or twist?

DREAM TEAM brings you all the latest injury, suspension and availability news ahead of Gameweek 14 in one easily digestible dose.For the second week in a row, David Moyes could only provide a vague update on Jarrod Bowen (£5.3m).
West Ham’s manager told reporters that he would need to consult with the club’s medical team before making a final decision on his top scorer ahead of the Hammers’ home game against Crystal Palace this Sunday.
Bowen wasn’t involved in either of his side’s Gameweek 13 fixtures.
Several other players missed the Irons’ Europa League clash with Backa Topola through illness – Moyes did not specify the individuals but Mohammed Kudus (£4.2m) and Edson Alvarez (£2.2m) were among those who did not travel.

Watkins is a doubt for this weekendCredit: Dream TEam
20% of Dream Team gaffers are currently sweating on Ollie Watkins’ (£4.8m) availability.
The 27-year-old was a surprise omission from Aston Villa’s Europa Conference League squad on Thursday night and, when questioned if the in-form striker was rested or injured, Unai Emery initially replied “both”.
“He had yesterday small pain,” the Spanish tactician explained. “Not very strong, we decided as well to rest him.”
Watkins is expected to be involved at Bournemouth in some capacity but he has to be considered a doubt at this stage.

Jurgen Klopp expects to be without Alisson (£3.8m) for a fortnight at least after the Brazilian goalkeeper injured his hamstring in the dying moments against Manchester City.
Caoimhin Kellher (£1.8m) is likely to deputise against Fulham and Sheffield United this coming Gameweek.
Diogo Jota (£4.1m) is also injured and will probably return after Alisson, though the full extent of his issue remains unclear.
Eze suffered another setback last weekendCredit: Reuters
Eberechi Eze (£3.7m) may be forced to undergo more surgery following his foot injury last weekend.
Crystal Palace’s No10 is seeking specialist advice and will be sidelined for at least three weeks.
Unfortunately, Cheick Doucoure (£2.3m) will be unavailable for several months having “snapped his Achilles tendon” – the industrious midfielder may not return for Eagles until the last month of the season at best.
Mikel Arteta told journalists he didn’t expect any of his absentees to return this week but there are no new concerns after Arsenal’s comfortable win over Lens in the Champions League.
Elsewhere, Tottenham’s injury troubles have only worsened with Rodrigo Bentancur facing more time off after damage sustained against Aston Villa – the Uruguay international is looking at approximately two months on the sidelines.
Pape Matar Sarr (£2.1m) has not recovered in time for Spurs’ visit to the Etihad either.
As for the defending champions, Pep Guardiola revealed that John Stones (£4.4m) will once again make Sunday’s squad but it’s unknown to what extent he’ll feature on the pitch.
There’s an outside chance Christopher Nkunku (£4m) will be among Chelsea’s squad for the first time since his transfer to West London.
Mauricio Pochettino said the French forward is “close”, as is Romeo Lavia (£2.5m).
Both Reece James (£4.1m) and Marc Cucurella (£3.1m) are suspended for this weekend’s meeting with Brighton but will be available to face Manchester United in midweek.
Dominic Calvert-Lewin (£2.7m) is a doubt for Everton amid “tightness” that forced him to skip a training session.

GAMEWEEK 14 is a special one in the Dream Team calendar this season as it’s the first time all 20 Premier League clubs have two fixtures to fulfil.Now more than ever, it’s crucial gaffers get every aspect of their strategy correct.
With that in mind, let’s analyse the best captaincy options and potential Booster strategies.

CLICK HERE TO PLAY SCORE PREDICTOR AHEAD OF THIS WEEKEND’S ACTION – SOMEBODY MUST WIN A £500 AMAZON GIFT CARD!

Take your pick for Gameweek 14’s captain!
In regards to the captain’s armband, it looks to be a classic toss-up between Erling Haaland (£7.9m) and Mohamed Salah (£6.7m).
Manchester City’s No9 is 38 points clear at the top of the rankings and just 15 shy of a rapid double century.
On paper, his upcoming fixtures are tough given Tottenham are fifth in the table and Aston Villa are fourth.
However, Ange Postecoglou’s side have lost three in a row amid an injury crisis and there’s a good chance Spurs will field Emerson Royal (£2.3m) at centre-back at the Etihad, a prospect that should have Haaland salivating.
Unai Emery’s men boast a fantastic home record but their high defensive line has occasionally been exposed by top sides – Newcastle and Liverpool have registered comfortable wins against the Villains this term utilising effective runs in behind.
As for Salah, he has the luxury of a home game against Fulham followed by a trip to Sheffield United.

However you spin it, that’s a mightily favourable double header for a player of the Egyptian’s quality.
The Reds have won all six of their league games at Anfield this campaign and while Marco Silva’s side are not the worst team in the league by any stretch of the imagination, they have rolled over against superior opposition in recent weeks.
Dare you bet against Haaland and Salah this coming week?Credit: Getty
Bukayo Saka (£6.5m) probably deserves a mention in the captaincy conversation too having drawn level with Salah on 147 points this past week – Arsenal face Wolves then Luton.
However, the vast majority of Dream Team bosses will stick by Haaland with Salah comfortably the most-popular alternative.
Both forwards look set for big returns but the outright best option is not entirely clear – trust your gut!
As for Booster strategies, many gaffers will be tempted to activate Park the Bus for Gameweek 14.
The game’s most-powerful Booster doubles the points earned by all selected defenders for the duration of the Gameweek.
Instinctively, it feels as if targeting the aforementioned Liverpool and Arsenal fixtures could result in a tidal wave of points.
The Gunners have conceded just ten league goals this season, the lowest number in the top flight at this stage, with the Reds nearby on 11 goals conceded.
Hypothetically, a back five consisting of William Saliba (£3.8m), Gabriel (£4.1m), Trent Alexander-Arnold (£5.5m), Virgil van Dijk (£3.9m) and another defender of your choice would look strong ahead of the favourable match-ups.
Set for a prosperous Gameweek 14Credit: Dream Team
Newcastle play Manchester United at home then Everton away so it wouldn’t be a surprise if Kieran Trippier (£5.2m) provided another double-digit haul.
Gaffers who want to keep Park the Bus up their sleeve could exploit the same fixtures by opting to use the 12th Man Booster.
Alexander-Arnold is perfectly viable candidate as he has the necessary attributes to combine attacking returns with a pair of clean sheets.

Alternatively, Darwin Nunez (£4.5m) may fit the bill as all signs indicate plenty of goals for Jurgen Klopp’s troops in the coming days.
The Uruguay international only played 34 minutes as a second-half substitute against LASK on Thursday night so he should be fresh enough to start against the Cottagers on Sunday.

Any player can be temporarily recruited as 12th Man for free so it may be that gaffers who can’t afford a permanent transfer for the likes of Salah or Saka decide to use this Booster to capture one of the expensive star’s points for Gameweek 14 at least.
Whatever you decide, lock in your strategy before Saturday’s 2pm deadline!

CHRISTMAS shopping will be as easier task for Daniel Allan this year as he’s just earned himself £100 through Dream Team.The smart gaffer earned a whopping 228 points in Gameweek 13 to claim the weekly prize awarded to the world’s top manager.
Let’s take a closer look at how he achieved such a massive score.

Points everywhere you look!Credit: Dream Team
As is usually the case, the Gameweek’s top gaffer made effective use of the Park the Bus Booster to double the points of their entire defence.
William Saliba (£3.8m) was the star of the defensive quintet as he contributed to Arsenal’s clean sheets against Brentford and Lens for a 16-point return, doubled to 32 in this instance.
The Frenchman is now the second-best asset in his position this season having moved onto 96 points.
Oleksandr Zinchenko (£3.5m) was substituted at half-time in midweek so he didn’t play enough minutes to qualify for the Gunners’ latest clean sheet but he pouched nine against the Bees so Daniel can’t have too many complaints.
Kieran Trippier (£5.2m) remains top dog among defenders and while another ten points would have been warmly received by his owners, the right-back came ever so close to a seriously impressive haul against PSG but the Ligue 1 outfit were gifted a generous penalty deep into stoppage-time.
The same can be said of Jamaal Lascelles (£2.1m), who appears in just 2.1% of teams, but Newcastle’s skipper was ahead of the game after the weekend when he scored a rare goal against Chelsea.

Kostas Tsimikas (£3.3m) completed Daniel’s back five with a very respectable ten points.
Filling in for the injured Andy Robertson (£3.7m) at left-back, the Greece international mustered just two points against Manchester City but he came good in the Europa League on Thursday night with a clean sheet and a bonus point after playing 82 minutes against LASK.

City’s homegrown hero notched six points against Liverpool before taking RB Leipzig for 17 on Tuesday night via a goal and two assists.

Bukayo Saka (£6.5m) remains to top of the tree, however, after yet another brilliant week.
It was Arsenal’s No7 who provided the inch-perfect cross for Kai Havertz’s (£3m) late winner at Brentford and he was firmly among the fun against Lens before he was removed in the 66th minute.
The 22-year-old scored one goal and set up another as the Ligue 1 side fell apart at the Emirates.
Saka has seven goals and 11 assists to his name already this season – what a player.
Anthony Gordon (£3.6m) completed the three-man midfield.
Newcastle’s No10 continued his impressive home form with a goal and an assist against Mauricio Pochettino’s men last weekend as part of a 12-point return – he only registered two appearance points in Paris.
The former Everton winger is currently the most transferred-in player ahead of Gameweek 14.

Daniel kept it simple up front with Erling Haaland (£7.9m) and Mohamed Salah (£6.7m), who combined for 36 points despite the fact the were in direct competition last weekend.
The prolific Norwegian was strapped with the captain’s armband as well so his 21-point haul was doubled to 42.
What is there left to say about these two elite forwards? Just relentless excellence.

Incredible work, Daniel, enjoy your well-deserved £100!
Good luck to all gaffers ahead of Gameweek 14.
