Only Bruno Fernandes boasts better form than Ismaila Sarr among all Dream Team players

THE international break rumbles on but thoughts turn to Dream Team's return this coming weekend.

Managers have until 10:45am this Saturday to make their transfers and one player worthy of consideration before the Gameweek 29 deadline is Ismaila Sarr (£3.7m).

The Crystal Palace midfielder is currently the second most in-form player in Dream Team as only Bruno Fernandes (£6.7m) has taken more points from his last three outings.

Just prior to the break, Sarr scored the Eagles' winner against Ipswich amid an 11-point haul.

An FA Cup win over Millwall yielded just two points but before that the Senegal international notched 18 points via a brace in an impressive victory over Aston Villa.

A return of 31 points from his last three games put him above the likes of Alexander Isak (£6.1m), Joao Pedro (£4m), Marco Asensio (£4.1m) and other notable form players.

That being said, Sarr's points have had little impact on Dream Team since he features in so few teams.

At the time of writing, his ownership is just 0.4%.

Looking ahead to Gameweek 29, Sarr has to be considered a viable differential option.

Oliver Glasner's side are due to face Fulham in the FA Cup quarter-finals on Saturday before travelling to Southampton the following Wednesday.

Not only are Palace one of just seven teams set to fulfil two fixtures this coming Gameweek, they arguably have the most appealing double header of the lot.

A trip to St Mary's Stadium is statistically the most favourable match-up the Premier League has to offer this season as Saints have mustered just four points on home soil since their return to the top flight.

And given only Liverpool and Arsenal average more points on the road than Palace, this upcoming fixture could yield plentiful returns for the visitors.

Sarr has the hot hand right now and gaffers in need of a difference-maker might feel it's time to roll the dice.

The same logic applies to Glasner's other favourites.

Daniel Munoz (£5.4m) is a fantastic option for Gameweek 29 as Dream Team's second-best defender on 230 points.

And with Trent Alexander-Arnold (£5.7m) currently sidelined with injury, it's not unthinkable the Colombian wing-back will become the top-ranked asset in his position in the coming weeks.

Munoz has five goals, six assists and 12 clean sheets to his name.

Alternatively, Eberechi Eze (£4.5m) hasn't provided as many points as Sarr recently but he's 50 ahead in terms of the campaign as a whole.

Jean-Philippe Mateta (£4.5m) is expected to be available in Gameweek 29 following his ear injury.

The French forward has scored eight goals in ten appearances since the turn of the year.

He would certainly fancy his chances of exploiting Southampton's vulnerable defence if given the opportunity.

Dream Team bosses should get an update on Mateta's availability in advance of the deadline.
