Dream Team Managers Take Note

When it comes to measuring talent, bonus points can be a reliable indicator. This season, players like Trent Alexander-Arnold, Jeremy Doku, Kieran Trippier, Phil Foden, and Bukayo Saka have all earned high bonus point totals. However, a new name has taken the top spot – Bruno Guimaraes.

A Standout Performance

In a recent match against Fulham, Guimaraes had an exceptional performance. He provided an assist, created two big chances, had a shot on target, and earned the maximum of five bonus points. In total, he gained 12 points in that game alone, adding to his impressive run of form in recent Gameweeks.

Unrivalled Ability

What sets Guimaraes apart is his unrivalled ability to earn bonus points. He contributes greatly defensively, ranking highly in successful dribbles, fouls won, blocks, and interceptions. As a result, he has already earned 33 bonus points this season. This accounts for nearly 30% of his overall tally of 113 points.

Looking Ahead to Gameweek 17

In the upcoming Gameweek 17, Newcastle has a favorable double header against Luton and Nottingham Forest. Assuming Guimaraes isn't rested, he has a good chance of delivering a double-digit return. Alongside Guimaraes, there are other viable Newcastle assets to consider, such as Anthony Gordon and Kieran Trippier.

Potential Bargain Pick

For Dream Team managers seeking a bargain, Martin Dubravka could be a smart choice. Priced at £1.6m, he has the potential to earn points through clean sheets. In the previous match against Fulham, Dubravka notched nine points.

Overall, backing multiple Newcastle assets in Gameweek 17 could result in significant returns if everything falls into place for Eddie Howe's men. However, it's important to note that the team is still dealing with injuries.
