Classy operator Credit: Dream Team Enzo Le Fee (£3m) Sunderland’s technically-gifted playmaker is the most popular midfielder in his price range currently with an ownership of 5.4%. Sign up for the Football newsletter Thank you! The Frenchman registered 12 goal involvements last season which may be a tad modest for some managers’ liking but we believe he’s capable of 15+ in the league alone this time around. Le Fee was the Black Cats’ top Dream Team performer in 2025/26 and has warmed up for the new campaign with three goals in pre-season, including long-range beauty against Liverpool. He has several routes to points and should benefit from a busier schedule after Regis Le Bris led his men to Europa League qualification. Sunderland’s first three opponents are relatively favourable: Ipswich (a), Fulham (h), Brentford (a). Anton Stach (£3m) On a similar theme, Leeds won’t have any complaints about their fixtures prior to the first international break, starting with back-to-back trips to Nottingham Forest. The Whites’ German midfielder is not shy of a tackle and offers a threat from set pieces. Most read in Football Daniel Farke’s side are among the tallest in the top flight and will once again strive to make the most of their dead-ball opportunities. Stach may have to share duties with Harry Wilson (£3.5m) but he will still be called upon when a right-footer is favoured. The 27-year-old notched five goal involvements in 11 games at his peak last term and boasted an impressive points-per-game average during this time. An underrated asset Credit: Alamy Rayan (£3.5m) The Bournemouth winger currently features in just 3% of teams and that may be because his Gameweek 1 fixture is a difficult one: Manchester City (a). However, the following run of Everton (h), Newcastle (a) and Brentford (h) – plus a Europa League opponent still to be determined – could yield healthy returns. Rayan averaged a goal or assist every 160 minutes in 2025/26 and has bags of potential, hence why why he was called up to Brazil’s World Cup squad. The 20-year-old may even get some minutes at centre-forward in certain games.

Kevin Schade (£3m) Brentford’s No7 has scored 19 league goals across the last two seasons. That’s very respectable return for a player categorised as a midfielder for a mid-table outfit. The Bees are scheduled to face Spurs (h), Birmingham (a), Leeds (a), Sunderland (h) and Bournemouth (a) in their first five and so we’re backing 1.7%-owned Schade to earn a useful price rise come the international break. Brentford surprised everyone last season but Dream Team bosses should know not to underestimate them by now. Too bold? Credit: AFP Rio Ngumoha (£3.5m) This punt comes with risk as the Liverpool winger is still just 17 years old but there are indications he is set to play a prominent role under Andoni Iraola. The Spanish tactician has deployed Ngumoha on both wings during pre-season and seems impressed by the youngster’s dribbling ability. If the England international (he earned a cap in the Three Lions’ pre-tournament win over New Zealand in June) is revealed to be a regular starter for one of the biggest teams in Europe then his ownership will skyrocket in quick time. It’s only a hunch but we reckon Ngumoha will fancy his chances against Newcastle this Sunday. Open to residents of UK and Rep of Ireland, 18+ only. T&Cs apply.
