Iliman Ndiaye primed to become unlikely secret weapon for Dream Team bosses in coming weeks

MOST Dream Team managers would flinch at the mere suggestion of relying on an Everton player for points. The Toffees have endured a largely joyless campaign thus far having won just four of their 21 Premier League games to this point. At the time of writing, only the three promoted teams and Wolves are below Everton in the table with relegation-bound Southampton being the only side to have scored fewer goals.

Despite all this, Iliman Ndiaye (£3.9m) might be an effective secret weapon for gaffers in the near future. The 24 year-old winger features in just 0.3% of teams right now, due to the aforementioned negatives, but he boasts an impressive average of 5.9 points-per-game.

For context, Dejan Kulusevski (£4.3m), Morgan Rogers (£3.7m), Kevin De Bruyne (£5.7m) and many other notable midfielders rank below Ndiaye in the same metric. The Senegal international has scored six goals this season and supplements his returns with plenty of bonus points, 31 to be exact.

MOST BONUS POINTS THIS SEASON:. The Goodison Park faithful won't be surprised to learn that their No10's dribbling ability is the main reason he ranks so highly for bonus points. Ndiaye has already completed 60 successful dribbles in 2024/25. Only Morgan Rogers (£3.7m) has registered more at this stage and that's mainly because the Aston Villa midfielder has played four more games.
