DREAM TEAM managers only have to look at the players who have earned the most bonus points this season to understand it's a worthy measure of talent.<\/p>\n

Trent Alexander-Arnold (\u00a35.7m), Jeremy Doku (\u00a34.1m), Kieran Trippier (\u00a35.2m), Phil Foden (\u00a35.2m) and Bukayo Saka (\u00a36.6m) all rank highly but a new name jumped to the top of the tree at the weekend, Bruno Guimaraes (\u00a33.7m).<\/p>\n

The Newcastle midfielder produced an exceptional performance at home to Fulham on Saturday.<\/p>\n

He provided the assist for Lewis Miley's (\u00a32.4m) opening goal, created two big chances, had a shot on target, and, most importantly, earned FIVE bonus points, the maximum available for a single game.<\/p>\n

All in all, Guimaraes banked 12 points at the Cottagers' expense to extend what has been a prosperous run of late – he's earned 45 points across the last four Gameweeks.<\/p>\n

The Brazil international makes a lot of tackles and has chipped in with four goal involvements but the headline story is his unrivalled ability to earn bonus points.<\/p>\n

So how does he do it?<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

A well-rounded midfielder, Guimaraes is a key player for the Magpies both in possession and defensively.<\/p>\n

He ranks highly in his position for successful dribbles, fouls won, blocks and interceptions.<\/p>\n

Consequently, he's racked up 33 bonus points already this season – that accounts for 29.2% of his overall tally of 113 points.<\/p>\n

That total puts Guimaraes joint-12th among midfielders at the time of writing but he seems to have a reasonable chance of improving his rank in Gameweek 17.<\/p>\n

Eddie Howe's side arguably have the most favourable double header in the form of Luton and Nottingham Forest.<\/p>\n

Assuming the 26-year-old isn't rested – the only game he's sat out this season was because of suspension – he looks well placed to post a double-digit return in Gameweek 17.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Of course, Guimaraes is far from the only viable Newcastle asset ahead of what appears to be a friendly pair of fixtures.<\/p>\n

Anthony Gordon (\u00a34m) is joint-fourth among Dream Team midfielders at this stage of the campaign having amassed 134 points.<\/p>\n

The aforementioned Trippier is likely to return against Luton having served his suspension at the weekend.<\/p>\n

The England international looked unusually rusty earlier this month but his overall pedigree can't be denied – only Alexander-Arnold has more points among defenders.<\/p>\n

And Martin Dubravka (\u00a31.6m) represents a potentially savvy bargain for Dream Team bosses who believe Newcastle will keep at least one clean sheet in Gameweek 17 – the Slovak notched nine points against Fulham.<\/p>\n

Whatever the details, backing multiple Newcastle assets could yield huge returns in Gameweek 17 if everything clicks for Howe's men, though it's worth noting they remain dogged by injuries.<\/p>\n
