Dream Team Transfers for Round 3: Top 5 Players to Strengthen the Team.
According to The Sun: DREAM TEAM managers must confirm their transfers by 11 AM on Saturday for the third round of the game.
We have prepared some interesting options, besides the obvious candidates.
Harvey Barnes (£4m)
Anthony Gordon (£4.5m) could have been considered this week if it weren't for the red card he received in the match against Liverpool on Monday.
However, Dream Team managers can use a similar strategy with a Newcastle player.
The Magpies will face Leeds this Saturday, a team that suffered a heavy defeat against Arsenal in the second round.
Daniel Farke’s team also suffered an embarrassing defeat from Sheffield Wednesday's youth team in the Carabao Cup.
Newcastle, despite the loss to Arne Slot’s team, showed their potential, even remaining in the minority against the champions.
Barnes is an excellent choice, as he has an impressive record against Leeds: five goals in six Premier League matches.
The 27-year-old is guaranteed playing time while Gordon serves his suspension, and Newcastle’s next home game also looks favorable – against Wolves.
ReutersChris Wood (£4.3m)
Dream Team managers may want to pay attention to West Ham's weaknesses at the moment.
The Hammers lost 3-0 to Sunderland in their first match of the season, and in the second round suffered a crushing 5-1 defeat against Chelsea, not to mention a loss in the Carabao Cup against Wolves.
Nottingham Forest is confident of a good result against Graham Potter’s team on Sunday, and their big striker is likely to be the first to take advantage of this.
Four of their midfielders have already scored double digits: Morgan Gibbs-White (£4.7m), Callum Hudson-Odoi (£3.7m), Dan Nloan (£3.3m) and Elliot Anderson (£3.7m).
September will bring a tough match with Arsenal for Nuno Espírito Santo’s side, but favorable matches against Burnley and Sunderland await them.
Forest will also begin their European campaign after the international break.
Pedro Porro (£5.1m)
Both Brennan Johnson (£4.7m) and Richarlison (£3.3m) are among the most popular new players ahead of the third round of the game.
And it’s not surprising.
But we decided to pay attention to Tottenham's defense, which has already kept 'clean sheets' twice.
Cristian Romero (£3.6m), Micky van de Ven (£3.8m), and Jed Spence (£3.8m) are more affordable, but Porro seems to be on the verge of a big reward.
The Spaniard continues to occupy high positions on the field, and in the absence of James Maddison (£4.5m), he is responsible for set pieces.
It’s worth noting that Porro earned 51 bonus points last season.
The Spurs host Bournemouth this weekend, but the most attractive matchup looks to be the trip to West Ham in the fourth round.

Matheus Cunha (£5m)
We suggest considering a short-term bet on this player.
Manchester United will play at home against Burnley on Saturday, and the new number 10 is eagerly awaiting the opportunity.
Only two players have managed to take more shots than Cunha in the first two league matches, and the Brazilian leads in shots on target.
There is a feeling that his first goal in red might be coming soon, and what better platform than Old Trafford against a league newcomer?
Many managers may think they can’t afford a short-term transfer (a Manchester derby awaits in the fourth round), especially with European competitions approaching, but it won’t be surprising if Cunha scores a lot of points against the Clarets.

The transfer window is active, and Dream Team managers have the opportunity to strengthen their squads before the upcoming important matches. Considering options such as Barnes, Wood, Porro, and Cunha can significantly impact outcomes. Successful transfers can make a difference in final points, so it is crucial to be attentive to player selection right before matches.
Upcoming matches promise to be tense, and managers must closely monitor player form and potential, as it may be the key to success in future rounds. A professional approach to transfer selection will be the guarantee of good results in the Dream Team campaign.
