Introduction

Changes to Dream Team's scoring system have made defensive midfielders more viable than ever this season. However, gaffers should always be aware of which midfielders are leading the way in terms of goal involvements.

Midfielders with Most Goal Involvements

Here are the midfielders with the most goal involvements this season:

• Bukayo Saka (£6.3m) - 12: Saka has scored five goals and provided seven assists.
• Jarrod Bowen (£5m) - 11: Bowen has scored eight goals and provided three assists.
• Bryan Mbeumo (£3.9m) - 9: Mbeumo has scored six goals and provided three assists.
• Phil Foden (£4.5m) - 9: Foden has scored five goals and provided four assists.
• Jeremy Doku (£3.9m) - 9: Doku has scored three goals and provided six assists.
• James Maddison (£4.4m) - 9: Maddison has scored three goals and provided six assists.
• Pedro Neto (£3.2m) - 9: Neto has scored one goal and provided eight assists.

Saka and Bowen Lead the Way

Arsenal's Bukayo Saka leads the way with a dozen goal involvements, while West Ham's Jarrod Bowen edges out his international teammate in terms of pure goals. Saka and Bowen are also the top two points-scorers among midfielders in Dream Team right now, further highlighting the importance of attacking returns.

Mbeumo's Impressive Presence

Bryan Mbeumo's presence on this list is impressive considering he doesn't have midweek European fixtures to bolster his schedule. All nine of his goal involvements have come in 11 league outings.

Foden and Doku's Consistency

Phil Foden and Jeremy Doku have both shown consistency as Dream Team midfielders. Foden has carved out a reputation as a consistent performer, while Doku has provided a high number of goal involvements despite playing fewer minutes.

Maddison's Impact

James Maddison's contributions to Leicester City have been significant. In addition to his goals and assists, he has racked up bonus points and ranks highly in other key stats. However, his availability is a talking point among Dream Team managers.

Neto's Absence

Pedro Neto completes the list with his impressive assist tally. However, his absence due to a hamstring injury has impacted Wolves' recent form.

Conclusion

Dream Team managers should keep track of midfielders who are racking up the most goal involvements throughout the season.
