Are 99.6% of Dream Team bosses foolishly overlooking this bargain midfield option?

Jacob Ramsey costs just £2.7m and appears to be a perfectly viable option for the weeks ahead

DREAM TEAM managers should always be alert to potential difference-makers, especially those who are cheap as chips.

At this point in time, might Jacob Ramsey (£2.7m) fit the bill?

The Aston Villa midfielder has been on a role of late with 35 points in four appearances across the last three Gameweeks.

The 23-year-old scored against West Ham and provided two assists at home to Celtic in Gameweek 21 for a combined return of 22 points.

Like most of Unai Emery's troops, he underwhelmed away to Wolves in Gameweek 22 but bounced back with a strong showing against Tottenham in the FA Cup in Gameweek 23.

Ramsey scored within a minute at Villa Park on Sunday, thanks in no small part to Antonin Kinsky's error, and received 12 points for his efforts come the final whistle.

From a Dream Team perspective, this fruitful form has come at a good time as gaffers should be very interested in Villa players at this stage of the season.

Villa are one of just three teams set to fulfil two fixtures in Gameweek 24 with Ipswich and Liverpool due in the Midlands within four days of each other.

A home game against the Tractor Boys has to be considered a favourable match-up and while Arne Slot's league leaders are quite the opposite, that midweek fixture is essentially a bonus point-scoring opportunity - a helpful quirk in the schedule.

Not only that, Emery's side will also double up in Gameweeks 25 (Chelsea & Crystal Palace) and Gameweek 26 (Cardiff & Champions League round of 16 first leg).

This combination of form and fixtures surely makes Ramsey, who currently features in just 0.4% of teams, an appealing option for the next month or so.
