<h2>New for Dream Team 2025/26: Save your transfers</h2>
Dream Team is moving to a transfer policy very similar to Fantasy Premier League (FPL).
Like last season, you&#8217;ll get two free transfers each week &#8211; but any unused transfers will now roll over to the following week.
You&#8217;ll be able to save up to four transfers, meaning a maximum of six in any particular week.
This will add a strategic element to the game. Many managers felt it was pretty much a case of &#8216;use them or lose them&#8217; last season, so you could see people being more patient with their picks this time.

<h2>New for Dream Team 2025/26: Substitute feature</h2>
If a player in your team didn&#8217;t play in their scheduled match, you have a lifeline this season.
The new substitutes feature will enable you to switch out a non-playing pick for another who has yet to play in the gameweek.
This can be done up to five times, with a maximum of one per gameweek.
So if you&#8217;re banking on Erling Haaland to play in the FA Cup and he&#8217;s left out of the squad, you could sub him out for another player after Manchester City have played.
The subbed-in player cannot exceed your total budget.
The substitution cannot be reversed and can&#8217;t be used if you have applied a booster. Your vice-captain for the gameweek will also be deactivated if the substitute feature is activated.
<h2>Dream Team winner&#8217;s prize money increased for 2025/26</h2>
Last year&#8217;s Dream Team winner scooped a whopping £50,000.
This season, the overall winner will earn £60,000 &#8211; and there&#8217;s multiple runner-up and weekly prizes, as well as the return of the £5,000 Second Shot competition in the second half of the season.
