ARE you languishing in your Dream Team Mini League?

Do you feel the need to do something different in order to gain ground on your rivals?

In that case, you could do a lot worse than backing Pascal Gross (£4.4m) and Simon Adingra (£3.2m) across the next three Gameweeks.

We're not proposing this recommendation simply because the pair combined for 27 points during Brighton's win over Sheffield United on Saturday, although of course recent form is an important factor.

The German midfielder provided his 12th assist of the season amid a fantastic all-round display against the Blades.

In fact, Gross earned five bonus points when all was done and dusted to bank 12 points in total, his third consecutive double-digit haul.

The Seagulls' No13 has pocketed 35 points across his last three outings, making him statistically Dream Team's second-most in-form player right now.

More broadly, Gross is currently level with Cole Palmer (£4.4m) overall, joint-fourth in the midfield rankings.

As for Adingra, he bagged 15 points via two goals as Roberto De Zerbi's men ran riot at Bramall Lane.

The 22-year-old was instrumental in Ivory Coast's Africa Cup of Nations victory and he carried over his impressive international form to club level with a 15-point return.

From a Dream Team perspective, the most exciting thing about the skilful winger is that he features in just 0.1% of teams, making him a massive differential option.

Similarly, Gross only appears in 2.7% of teams despite the fact he's six points shy of a double century.

Hence why the pair are potential game-changers if you're in need of a nuclear option as it's unlikely your rivals will also benefit from their returns.

Additionally, the schedule suggest this is potentially a great time to employ such a strategy as Brighton are one of just two teams with two fixtures in each of the next three Gameweeks.

Very few gaffers will opt to double up on Brighton midfielders during this favourable run but it's a perfectly viable strategy on paper.

Gross in particular should be considered a savvy option as he averages 6.3 points-per-game in 2023/24.
