Good, very good in fact, but it could be better

Having played all the Sun Dream Team games since it’s inception I consider myself to be a reasonable judge. There have been many improvements since it started. No limit to players from the same team and fluctuating players prices governed by their form being the best. However the ongoing player transfer issue is still an ever present problem. Despite numerous tinkering with both quantity and regularity Sun dream team haven’t managed to solve it. We the fantasy league managers still need more transfers to bring us closer to emulating the role of the Premier League Manager. If you are lucky and fortunate enough to only have a few injuries then all is well but if you are very unlucky and have more than 5 injuries then it could be curtains. If Sun Dream Team have aspirations of improving further then they must address this. May I suggest a squad rather than the bare 11 players, a maximum number of open transfers for the season accessible from day one and a couple of complete team resets, as some other fantasy games offer should address this. Fix this issue and the final star is yours

Enjoy it - but!

Who on earth does Dream Team ratings as they make little sense to me! How can players come on with a few minutes left and receive more points than a player who has contributed a great deal to the success of his team. There were many questionable ratings during last season with some players apparently receiving more favourable ratings just because “who they are” which resulted in some members of my family losing interest in the league we play in. Why not award all members of a winning team 1 point which would somewhat help to overcome questionable ratings or at least employ an organisation who are able to give accurate and sensible assessments?

Cant Understand?

The game is great but i cannot understand who gives the points out? There is a clear bias towards certain teams and players. I watched Crystal Palace v Arsenal play out a 0-0 draw and 14 players have 7+ averages in easily the worst game of the season yet some teams play great dominate and are lucky to have 3 players with 7+ averages. Add to that in a European game where a team loses 2-0 and their defender gets mom when hes cost his team the 2 goals. I wonder if anyone actually watches the matches as the points scoring and man of match awards are bonkers the majority of the time. To avoid a clear bias when a game is on the tv surely the guy who the pundits pick as mom would be better than someone from dream team who clearly hasn’t watched the game to just hand pick a favourite? The pundits are never far off the mark. Sun dream team is often miles off the mark. That said the game itself is brilliant and if scored more accurately then it be almost perfect. It would also be good if International matches were added to the scoring.

Hi, no more than 3 players from the same club next season should be brought back As so many more players will be used . As in leagues you cannot make ground on someone in the lead as they pick the same player your transfer in making may be six players from the same club. Now where near the end of season it shows up more they do it so you can’t make up the gap. So make it more fairer please change back like old times 3 only . Thanks

Changes for 2021. Draconian or leave well alone.

I think that the game should go back to no more than two players from any one team so it stops the block element.
Also no more than 3 transfers a month, as 5 gives people a big get out of jail free card.
I remember when you could only make transfers 2 or maybe 3x a season. If you look at the top 800 teams at the moment most of them have a Chelsea defensive block, with Kevin De Bruyne, Fernandes and ziyech in midfield, with a combination of kane, salah, Werner, Sterling and one other upfront. That’s due to the format of 5 transfers and pricing.
That means the places won’t change dramatically between now and the end of the season.
I think going back to three would be better in order to enhance the competitive element of the game. Then you’re forced to make do with injuries or play with 9-10 men for a few weeks.
Some may not agree but for the competition to be nearly done in nov/dec is ridiculous. I also wish in mini leagues that you can’t see other peoples teams until at least March/April or sign out altogether. It may sound draconian but I think it would add another skill element to the game.

Great app much more flexible than other where you can change formations and budget a lot more realistic which means you can have a great team and other leagues are included such as Europe champions league and the fa cup so lots of extra if you play it tactically you can earn extra points over your friend would recommend this over other leagues for dream team with your friends

Good but not great

IMO it would be better to have a maximum of 2 players from any one side, just to make managers pick players from outside the Top 4-5 teams. The current format & prices allow you to include most of the top boys without the need for taking a chance on the lesser known players. Also pretty frustrating to see a player do nothing for 80 minutes then get Starman for scoring a Penalty!

Why are ads covering content??

I’m only using this app for the draft and I already hate it! There’s stuff all over the screen making it difficult to see what’s what, and there are adverts covering menus and content! You literally can’t see some menu options cos of an advert! Why is there a “play now” button when you first open the app?? You’ve clicked the app and the first page should be the choice of games rather than an unnecessary button to enter. Usability is rubbish, it needs a UX/UI developer to do their thing! There’s no back button, and the X button takes you out of the game to the main menu. The blue box to welcome me to the league hub is pointless, and I keep crossing it off but it’s always there! Really frustrating! I can’t click the league name for whatever design reason. This feels like no effort has been put into designing this app, all about bolting things together to make money only, no usability considered.

Good ,but could it be better

I enjoy using the suns dreamteamfc
and going up against friends/ colleagues in a mini league.

The only thing I can think of to make it a little more interesting is having a nominated captain of your team
Weekly or Monthly and double that particular players scores.

Other people have mentioned the same issue of choosing only the top players from the top 5/6 clubs , maybe to encourage people in taking a chance with players around the 1-2 million mark is to call them super subs and every goal they score or keep a clean sheet etc pays a dividend and increases your account by 100k etc ?
To give managers a different way to build a team and challenge for the title in their respective leagues ?
