Bryan Mbeumo was back to his best with a standout performance that earned him 21 Dream Team points in Manchester United’s victory over Brighton. The Cameroon international has now climbed to fourth place in the overall Dream Team midfield rankings despite having played fewer games than most of his rivals.

Mbeumo’s brace against Brighton, combined with three bonus points, helped United secure their third straight win under Ruben Amorim. The result lifted the Red Devils to sixth in the Premier League, level on points with Manchester City and one ahead of Liverpool.

The forward’s recent form has been impressive, with three goals and one assist in his last three appearances, making him one of the most in-form players in Dream Team right now. Only Gabriel and Erling Haaland have managed to match his consistency in recent weeks.

Mbeumo’s impact at Old Trafford has proven to be a masterstroke, following his summer switch from Brentford. His tally of 13 shots on target is the highest among midfielders this season, showcasing his growing importance in United’s attack.

The 26-year-old’s performances have closed the gap at the top of the Dream Team midfield table, sitting just four points behind current leader Moises Caicedo. The battle among midfielders is tight, with only 13 points separating first from tenth.

After an unlucky start to the season, Mbeumo is now firmly among the goals. If Manchester United secure European qualification next season, his Dream Team value could rise even further.

United will look to extend their momentum when they face Nottingham Forest in Gameweek 10, before taking on Tottenham ahead of the November international break.
