Emerging Talent
Crystal Palace's win against Brentford ended their eight-game winless streak, and the standout player of the match was Michael Olise. The 22-year-old scored two goals to continue his excellent form, making him Dream Team's most in-form player with five goals in his last seven starts.
More Than Just Goals
Olise's impact goes beyond just scoring goals. Similar to his teammate Eberechi Eze, Olise's playing style allows him to accumulate bonus points at a rapid rate. In his last eight appearances, he has earned an impressive 23 bonus points, including a maximum of five in one game against Bournemouth in Gameweek 14.
Statistical Dominance
Olise has been a consistent performer, accumulating 52 points in the last four fixtures since Gameweek 16. Since his first appearance in Gameweek 12, he has earned an impressive 84 points in just nine games, with an average of 9.3 points per game, making him one of the best Dream Team players this season.
Considerations and Uncertainty
Despite Olise's outstanding performances, there are a few factors to consider. He was seen limping towards the end of the Brentford game, and while it doesn't seem to be a major injury, his fitness will be assessed in the upcoming training sessions. Additionally, Crystal Palace and Everton have a blank fixture in Gameweek 19 due to their early FA Cup meeting.
Timing is Key
If Olise proves his fitness in the FA Cup third round match against Everton, Dream Team managers may be tempted to bring him into their squad. However, it's important to note that he will have a blank Gameweek 19, so patience may be required. His next match would be against Arsenal in Gameweek 20, which could be a well-timed fixture considering Arsenal's recent struggles.
Final Thoughts
Michael Olise is a top choice for Dream Team managers due to his consistent goal-scoring and ability to accumulate bonus points. However, it may be best to delay any transfers until his fitness is confirmed, and to keep in mind the upcoming blank Gameweek 19.
