      Transfer recommendations ahead of Gameweek 23: Target FA Cup mismatches and midweek bonuses

      by

      GAMEWEEK 23 is a tricky one for Dream Team managers to navigate.The bulk of the action comes in the form of the FA Cup fourth round which looks inviting on paper but the likelihood of rotation means many of the game’s most popular players will have their minutes slashed.The magic of the cupCredit: RexThe Champions League play-offs and a rearranged Merseyside derby have resulted in bonus midweek fixtures for Manchester City, Liverpool and Everton – the only three teams set to pull double duty.In contrast, Arsenal, Brentford and West Ham have ZERO fixtures in Gameweek 23 having been dumped out of the FA Cup in the third round, hence why Bryan Mbeumo (£4.7m) and Gabriel (£5m) are among the most transferred-out players this week.Allow us to put forward some transfer recommendations ahead of Friday’s 6:30pm deadline.Daniel Munoz (£4.6m)A smart optionCredit: Dream TeamThe fact Oliver Glasner tends to name relatively strong line-ups in the domestic cups should make him a popular man among Dream Team bosses.While others don’t need a second invitation to rotate, Crystal Palace’s head coach has not shied away from giving his best players plenty of minutes no matter the competition since he arrived on English shores.And so there’s a decent chance Munoz starts against Doncaster on Monday night – he played the full 90 minutes against Stockport in the third round.The Colombian wing-back ranks third among Dream Team defenders right now having amassed 73 points in eight outings since Boxing Day.Most read in FootballThe 28-year-old has registered five clean sheets and two assists in that time.He’s also one of just two players to have made over 100 tackles this season – Noussair Mazraoui (£3m) is the other.Iliman Ndiaye (£4.4m)A man in formCredit: GettyMan City and Liverpool are likely to name second-string teams to face Leyton Orient and Plymouth respectively so that their first-team stars are raring to go in midweek.David Moyes may follow a similar path but with Everton up against Bournemouth in the cup this weekend, he doesn’t have the same license to play the kids.It’s not unthinkable that Ndiaye, the Toffees’ main man of late, plays 150+ minutes in Gameweek 23, making him a tempting option.Granted, a double header of the Cherries and Arne Slot’s league leaders is far from favourable but Everton’s No10 is one of Dream Team’s most in-form players right now having banked 33 points from his last three games.The Senegalese winger has scored five goals in his last eight appearances and is partial to a bonus point or three.We tipped him in last week’s transfer recommendations and he instantly returned 11 points!Conor Bradley (£2.6m)Rise up, understudies!Credit: PAMany gaffers will be backing Liverpool’s familiar favourites to come good in Wednesday night’s Merseyside derby – Virgil van Dijk (£4.8m) and Cody Gakpo (£5m) are popular recruits this week.But there’s another way of targeting the Reds’ double Gameweek.Trent Alexander-Arnold (£6m) has been ruled out of tonight’s Carabao Cup semi-final second leg against Tottenham and it seems highly unlikely he’ll be risked at Plymouth on Saturday, meaning Bradley is virtually guaranteed to start at right-back.The Northern Irish defender usually impresses when called upon and given the Pilgrims are rooted to the bottom of the Championship table, he has to considered a strong clean sheet prospect.Bradley offers a threat going forward too, a useful trait ahead of a meeting with a team that have conceded the most goals in the second tier this season.Dream Team bosses keen on this ploy should acknowledge it is very much a one-week punt in search of short-terms gains.Assuming Alexander-Arnold makes a quick recovery, Bradley’s backers will have to find a replacement for Gameweek 24.Taiwo Awoniyi (£1.9m)FA Cup special?Credit: GettyAnother short-term option here.Chris Wood (£4m) is Nottingham Forest’s talismanic striker fresh off a hat-trick at Brighton’s expense but the big New Zealander will surely be rested against Exeter on Tuesday night.That would leave the door open for Awoniyi to the lead the line against a League One side in freefall.The Grecians have conceded 13 goals in their last three games and should be easy pickings for Forest’s No9.READ MORE SUN STORIESOnce again, gaffers who opt for this route will need to ditch Awoniyi next week as Wood will reclaim his place when Nuno Espirito Santo’s side face Fulham in Gameweek 24.Don’t get caught out by the early deadline, confirm your transfers for Gameweek 23 by 6:30pm on Friday!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

      Newcastle fans deserve a trophy and this is the year they’ll get it thanks to ‘PlayStation-like’ Alexander Isak

      by

      GET THE BEERS on ice because Tyneside is set for the mother of all parties next month.That is at least according to Newcastle legend Shay Given as he confidently declared: “This is the year!”Shay Given (right) has backed Eddie Howe (left) to deliver a trophy at NewcastleCredit: PANewcastle are hoping Alexander Isak can fire them to WembleyCredit: GettyThe 1955 FA Cup is the last piece of major silverware to be lifted by the Magpies. However, that long-wait for more is about to end with “PlayStation-like” Alexander Isak firing them to glory.Having seen them blow it several times over the past seven decades, few of the Toon Army are allowing themselves to dream just yet.That is even despite them going into tonight’s Carabao Cup semi-final second-leg on home turf with a 2-0 lead over Arsenal. Though Given, who spent 12 years as No1 at Newcastle, has no splinters in his backside as he nailed his black and white colours firmly to the cup.READ MORE ON FOOTBALLAfter coming so close to winning it two years ago when they were beaten by Man Utd, the former Irish star insists they’ll go one better this time around.And that is despite them losing their last two matches on home turf.Given said: “Look, it’s been 70 years. Even if you’re a neutral fan that doesn’t even support Newcastle it must be getting to the stage where you just wish that their fans could do it.“We’re talking about generations of fans that have just never seen it before. You know, it’s so long. It’s crazy when you think about it. Most read in FootballCASINO SPECIAL – BEST CASINO BONUSES FROM £10 DEPOSITS“I just hope they can get the job done with Arsenal and then of course get to the final. “A lot of players will have played in that final as well, which is a good thing I think, because they can use that experience to help them as well.Arsenal fans will have watched Carabao Cup disaster and wished Alexander Isak was playing for them – he’s unbelievable“So yeah, let’s go with it. This is the year, man. This is the year.”Given is one of those that have come agonisingly close to delivering glory to the long-suffering Toon Army.He was part of the Newcastle squad that suffered two-successive FA Cup final defeats in the late 90s.That side even included the club’s all-time top scorer Alan Shearer in its ranks.But Given believes the Magpies now possess another great leading the line in Isak.He said: “The goal against Southampton recently, if you slow it down and look at the angle and his run. His first touch made the goal, just the way he touches with his left away from the defender and then placed it in the corner. It’s nearly like PlayStation stuff.“It was the perfect movement from a forward. We see many forwards in the Premier League snatching at stuff when they get through on goal, he seems to go the opposite.“He seems to just go into sort of ice cold mode in the head and everything just seems to be in slow motion for him.“I just think he’s a real deal. I really do. There’s a lot of clubs who wish they could have him.”As Given knows full well himself, nothing is ever straightforward when it comes to Newcastle United Football Club.And after a 4-1 stuffing at home to Bournemouth was followed by a 2-1 loss to Fulham on Saturday, nerves are jangling that Arsenal could make it an unwanted hat-trick of setbacks at St James’.Shay Given was part of the Toon side beaten by Arsenal in the 1998 FA Cup finalCredit: PA:Press AssociationShay Given is now a brand ambassador for CopyBetGiven, though, has other thoughts regarding the recent setbacks on Tyneside, saying: “Maybe it was the perfect tonic leading into the semi.“The psychology of the Newcastle players and I suppose the crowd as well will be ‘this is not over yet’ and I’m sure that’s the message that Eddie will have. He was sending that straight after the game.“You know, if Arsenal get an early goal, then it’s an anxious night, isn’t it? So there’s so much to do yet in the tie.“Newcastle never seem to do it the easy way but to earn something like this, it’s never easy, is it? So they’ve got a lot of work still to do but they’re in a good position and have to use what they’ve done.“I wouldn’t want to see too much of a defensive sort of job. I’d like to see Newcastle on the front foot again and try and get a goal themselves, you know, rather than trying to defend the 2-0 lead. “You have to go with a 0-0 mentality. That’s why I think that you start the game on the front foot, especially at home. The last thing the crowd and Eddie will want is a nervy start.“There’s a big prize at stake, a place at Wembley. That’ll be all on everyone’s mind, players and fans.READ MORE SUN STORIES“I think Eddie Howe’s teams, and credit to Eddie and his staff, that’s how he’s always went about his business, home and away.”*Shay Given is a brand ambassador for sports betting platform CopyBet.

      Schoolboy Error: Dream Team bosses eagerly recruiting hat-trick hero Chris Wood ahead of FA Cup weekend

      by

      GAMEWEEK 22 belongs to Chris Wood (£4m).Nottingham Forest’s No11 bagged a hat-trick against Brighton on Saturday in what proved to be the centrepiece of an emphatic 7-0 victory at the City Ground.Wood has surpassed expectations this seasonCredit: Dream TeamMorgan Gibbs-White (£4.2m), Neco Williams (£2.6m), Anthony Elanga (£2.9m) and several others produced performances worthy of individual praise but from a Dream Team perspective, Wood was the standout performer with a whopping 24 points to show for his efforts come full time.The New Zealand international’s 15th, 16th and 17th league goals of the season means he is currently the top performer of the Gameweek.Incredibly, only bonafide superstars Mohamed Salah (£8m) and Erling Haaland (£7.9m) are ahead of Wood in the Premier League Golden Boot race at the time of writing.There can be no doubt the 33-year-old is playing the best football of his career.Such is his reputation right now, he is currently Dream Team’s most transferred-in player ahead of Gameweek 23.Wood took Brighton for 24 points on SaturdayCredit: GettyWhile this may seem perfectly logical on the surface, it’s likely the eager gaffers recruiting Wood this week are guilty of a schoolboy error.Form is obviously a influential factor when making a transfer but Dream Team managers must remember to look forward as well as reflecting on recent events.Bringing Wood into the fold now means enlisting him for Forest’s FA Cup fourth round meeting with Exeter next Tuesday, their only fixture of Gameweek 23.Most read in FootballThe Grecians are on a terrible run of form that has seen them slip to 17th in League One. Wood would surely be a likely scorer if he were to be unleashed upon a defence that has conceded 13 goals in their last three outings but how likely is it that Nuno Espirito Santo will risk his top scorer in such a game?Nuno opted to rest Wood in the third round of the FA CupCredit: GettyForest’s phenomenal league campaign means they are genuine contenders to qualify for the Champions League, a lofty achievement that must now be top priority.Taiwo Awoniyi started up top against Luton in the FA Cup third round and is a strong contender to lead the line against Exeter next week.Wood was given the last 16 minutes against the Hatters last month (returning one point) but his game time is a major concern for Gameweek 23.Some gaffers would say that Forest are playing so well this season that they should aim to win the FA Cup – a fair point.It’s just that a second-string XI should be more than strong enough to beat an Exeter side without a win in their last eight League One fixtures.Perhaps Wood and other first-team regulars will be given more prominent roles in the competition if a place at Wembley comes into view but that’s largely irrelevant for gaffers who have recruited the in-form target man this week.It wouldn’t be a surprise if Wood didn’t feature at all in Gameweek 23Credit: EPALooking further ahead, Wood will start against Fulham in Gameweek 24 (if available) and would certainly be a viable Dream Team option.READ MORE SUN STORIESAfter that, Forest are due to face Newcastle and Arsenal in Gameweek 25 in what is one of the most difficult doubler headers of the lot, on paper at least.Wood has exceeded all expectations this season but even by standards, he’ll have to produce something truly remarkable this month to justify this week’s flurry of transfers.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
