Nick Woltemade - the new star of Dream Team: why millions are betting on him.

Forward Problems in DREAM TEAM

According to The Sun: DREAM TEAM is facing difficulties in its attacking lineup.

Erling Haaland (£7.9m) continues to impress with his form, but his value for the overall table is decreasing, as he is now in 62.6% of teams.

Meanwhile, the popularity of other forwards among players raises a number of questions.

Mohamed Salah (£7m) is currently the most notable player, who has already been removed from the team before the 8th round, as he accumulated only eight points in the last three games.

In addition, the popularity of Joao Pedro (£4.6m) is falling due to a weak performance.

The young Brazilian has not scored since late August, and the red card received in the match against Benfica in the Champions League was the last straw for many managers.

Viktor Gyökeres (£5.5m) has not scored in six matches, and his average points per game have dropped to 4.6.

Now his supporters are hoping for improvement, as Arsenal's match schedule looks quite favorable for the next month. However, if the Swede fails to impress in matches against Fulham and Atletico Madrid in round 8, some managers' patience will wear thin.

The popularity of Richarlison (£3.2m) grew at the start of the season, but he has earned only seven points in the last three matches.

The Tottenham forward last played just 16 minutes in the meeting at Elland Road, and his position in the lineup is now also in question.

Hugo Ekitike (£5m) and Alexander Isak (£6m) roles are also limited due to lack of playing time, let alone Liverpool's unstable performance.

Ollie Watkins (£4.7m) and Chris Wood (£3.8m) had great success last season, but they are struggling to score this year.

Jarrod Bowen (£5.3m) is showing decent results, having earned 56 points, and ranks third among players of his position, but without European and cup matches, it is harder to justify his selection in the coming rounds.

Possible Solution?

Should we be surprised that many managers in Dream Team are choosing Nick Woltemade (£4.2m)?

This tall German from Newcastle could be a successful choice, as his satisfying penalty against Nottingham Forest was already his third goal in three matches.

He also scored in matches against Arsenal and Union Saint-Gilloise, earning 28 points in the last two rounds - only Haaland scored more points in his last three games.

Although the deadline is still far away, Woltemade has already become the most popular new player ahead of round 8.
