But new Dream Team users should be aware that players will also score points in the FA Cup, Carabao Cup, Champions League, Europa League and Europa Conference League - more fixtures equals more fun!

Users will also have three Boosters to play over the course of the season, each with a special effect that will ensure bumper points if activated at the opportune moments.
