Basketball players become megastars during March Madness. Every year, unheralded players burst onto the scene with Cinderella runs, and they boost their NBA Draft stock in the process. However, playing in the spotlight of the NCAA Tournament can have the opposite effect, too. If a player struggles under the bright lights, some scouts might assume […]

IN true this-international-break-is-dragging fashion, we have assembled the best Dream Team XI of the season.
But with a twist.
This is the best XI of the season using no more than one player from each club.
Bukayo Saka (£6.6m) and Declan Rice (£4.9m) are Arsenal’s top two performers but with ample options in midfield it makes sense to use the Gunners’ only spot in this composite XI filling the gap between the sticks.
Having kept 16 clean sheets in all competitions, Raya is the only keeper on 200+ points at this stage of the season.
The Spaniard is 39 points clear of his closest rival, Emi Martinez (£3.9m).
He also ranks joint-second for bonus points (13) in his position and fourth for total saves (98).
Trent Alexander-Arnold (£5.7m) misses out as our Liverpool representative is best used elsewhere – no prizes for guessing.
And so Crystal Palace’s all-action wing-back leads the way in our backline with 230 points.
Arguably, Munoz has been the best surprise package of the season having contributed 11 goal involvements (five goals, six assists) on top of his 12 clean sheets.
The Colombia international also ranks third among all players for tackles (114).
Porro has earned more bonus points (37) than any other defender this term.
The Tottenham right-back, who has 223 points overall, also ranks inside the top three in his position for assists, shots on target and tackles.
Given they’re currently third in the Premier League table, it’s no surprise to see Nottingham Forest represented.
Only Liverpool and Arsenal defenders have registered more clean sheets than Aina’s 12.
The 28 year-old right-back averages 5.7 points-per-game this season, a rate only bettered by the aforementioned Alexander-Arnold and Munoz among assets in his position.
Aina has amassed 170 points from 30 appearances.
Dream Team’s leading midfielder also happens to be 125 points ahead of his nearest team-mate, Alejandro Garnacho (£3.1m).
Fernandes has racked up 345 points via 16 goals and 17 assists.
The Portuguese playmaker has been on a tear of late with 11 goal involvements in his last seven outings, not to mention plenty of tackles and bonus points.
Palmer has struggled in recent weeks but his overall tally of 268 points remains highly impressive.
No other Chelsea player is yet to reach the 180-point mark.
The Blues’ talisman is currently the most transferred-out player ahead of Gameweek 29 due to availability concerns but many gaffers will quietly reverse their changes if Enzo Maresca declares him fit this week.
Brentford haven’t had European fixtures to bolster their schedule but Mbeumo has been a Dream Team favourite this season because of his blistering domestic form.
The Cameroon international has scored 15 goals, all in the league, on his way to a mighty total of 259 points.
Last but not least, Rogers completes our four-man midfield on 231 points.
The classy dribbler takes advantage of the fact there’s no place for Dejan Kulusevski (£4.4m) after Porro’s inclusion in defence.
Rogers has scored 12 goals and provided nine assists in 2024/25.
It’s nothing but heavy hitters up front with these three prolific goalscorers ranked first, third and fourth respectively among all players.
Liverpool’s No11 is the game’s runaway leader on a whopping 456 points, 111 more than second-placed Fernandes.
Salah has scored 32 goals and provided 22 assists in all competitions, which boils down further to a goal involvement every 68.4 minutes!
Haaland (343 pts) has bagged another 29 goals this season despite Manchester City’s broader problems.
Like some other names in this XI, he’s over 100 points clear of his next-best team-mate, Phil Foden (£6m), in a league of his own.
The Norwegian No9 tops the chart for shots on target with 81 – only one other player (Salah) has registered more than 45!
Isak completes our star-stuffed forward line having plundered 282 points at an average of 8.5 per game.
Newcastle’s top scorer is on 23 goals and will have his eyes set on the 30 milestone with ten league games remaining.
Anthony Gordon (£4.8m) is the only other St James’ Park resident on 200+ points at the time of writing.

BARGAIN hunters are rushing to Home Bargains to snap up a budget-friendly perfume that smells just like a designer favourite.
The Red Ruby perfume, priced at just £1.99, has been hailed as a dupe for Baccarat Rouge 540, the luxury scent from Maison Francis Kurkdjian that costs a whopping £245 per bottle.
Shoppers who have managed to get their hands on the fragrance are raving about it online.
One fan posted in a money-saving Facebook group: “For anyone that likes Baccarat Rouge, this is £1.99 in Home Bargains. Not identical but very close and a lovely smell.”
Others were quick to agree, with one writing: “It’s beautiful, it’s my work perfume.”
Another added: “I love this, it smells amazing. I literally always get compliments on it.”
A third chimed in: “It’s lovely & does last. I’ve also got the red Enliven body spray and it smells like it too.”
The budget-friendly Red Ruby perfume is an amber floral fragrance with a luxurious blend of notes.
The top notes are saffron and jasmine, with middle notes of amber and ambergris and a base note of fir resin and cedar.
Many fans of the Home Bargains version say it smells just as good – but for a fraction of the price.
Of course, the scent might not be as strong or last as long, so think about that before grabbing a dupe.
The perfume is currently sold out online, but bargain hunters still have a chance to find it in-store.
You can check if your local Home Bargains has stock by using the store locator tool.
This isn’t the only fragrance bargain flying off Home Bargains’ shelves.
Just last week, shoppers went wild for the budget retailer’s Dubai body sprays, which have been called “out of this world” – and they’re only £2.29 each.
One beauty fan was so excited to find them that she rushed to social media, telling her followers: “Don’t walk, run to Home Bargains, girlies!”
The viral sprays, called Nusuk Layali, are imported from the UAE and shoppers have even claimed that one of the scents smells just like Marc Jacobs Daisy, which usually costs £79.20.

Few directors have a penchant for precision, like David Fincher. He is a master of mood, method, and mischief, and there is something inherently hypnotic about his style of cinema. While films like Fight Club, The Social Network, and Se7en have come to define the filmmaker’s legacy and filmography, another side of his work often gets […]
