The North Londoners’ failure to string two positive results together is the reason they’re currently seventh in the table despite the fact they lead the top flight for goals scored with 28.
While their fluctuating form is frustrating, Dream Team bosses should focus on their attacking potency as it yields plenty of points.
Not least from Brennan Johnson (£3.9m), who scored his tenth goal of 2024/25 at the weekend.
The 23-year-old gave his side the lead over the Cottagers with a volley from close range for his third goal in as many games.
Earlier in the season, he scored in six consecutive games (seven including international football) and many have come in similar fashion.
Johnson has pinned down a spot on the right wing and excelled at attacking balls at the back post when delivered from the opposite flank.
Such has been the timing of his movement and positioning in such scenarios, he’s engineered several tap-ins for himself in a manner reminiscent of Raheem Sterling at Manchester City – the latter scored 110 goals in his last five seasons under Pep Guardiola.
Postecoglou will hope Johnson is able to maintain this useful habit for the remainder of the campaign, as will many Dream Team gaffers.
With an ownership of 27%, the Wales international is currently the sixth-most selected player in the game.
