Popular Pick

Kyle Walker is currently the most-selected defender in Dream Team, but is he really deserving of his immense popularity? Let's take a closer look.

A Proven Player

Firstly, it's important to note that Walker has already proven himself as a key player for Manchester City and the England national team. He has been a standout performer during City's successful campaigns and has even won the treble. His reputation in the game has undoubtedly contributed to his high ownership in Dream Team.

Underwhelming Performance

Despite his popularity, Walker's performance in Dream Team has been underwhelming so far. With only 49 points to his name, he lags behind 15 other defenders in terms of total points. Players like Willy Boly, Diogo Dalot, and Ezri Konsa have outperformed him.

Clean Sheet Drought

One of the main reasons for Walker's lackluster performance is Manchester City's recent struggle to keep clean sheets. The team hasn't kept a clean sheet since Gameweek 6, over a month ago. This has affected Walker's ability to accumulate points in Dream Team.

Rivals Outperforming Him

Comparatively, Kieran Trippier, the second-most popular defender in Dream Team, has amassed 55 points in the same time frame. While it's important to consider the difference in price between the two players, Walker has still fallen behind in terms of value for money.

Hope for Improvement

Despite his recent performance, there is still hope for Walker to turn things around. Manchester City has upcoming fixtures against Young Boys and Bournemouth, which could potentially yield good returns. However, if he fails to deliver during this period, his prospects may not be promising considering the tough opponents City will face in the following Gameweeks.

As of now, Walker's ownership remains high, but it's important for Dream Team managers to closely monitor his performance and adjust their teams accordingly.
