Fantasy Paid Leagues and revamped transfer process among exciting changes coming to Dream Team next season
HERE at Dream Team HQ we're already getting excited about what comes next.
With just one Gameweek remaining of the current campaign, we're about to implement improvements that will enhance our fantasy football offering for the 2025/26 season.

The first thing to note is that we're offering bigger cash prizes!
This includes a greater sum of money for the overall season winner.
Secondly, you will have the option to compete against other managers in fantasy Paid Leagues thanks to our partners Plucky (18+).
Plucky provide a regulated and licenced platform to ensure all users can play for money in a safe and secure way.

In regards to the game mechanics, we are adapting the process of transfer rollovers.
From the start of next season, you will still get two transfers per Gameweek but if you don't use either then both will carry over to the next Gameweek, giving you a maximum of four to use before the following deadline.
Alternatively, if you use one of your two transfers then you will have three available the following Gameweek.
The maximum transfers you can have at any one time is six, meaning four is the most you can carry over.
This method opens up many more strategic options.
For example, you could bank transfers early in the season then start using two per Gameweek until the occasion calls for widespread changes, at which point you have the choice to use the additional transfers you held back earlier in the campaign.
This will allow you greater flexibility and may be particularly useful for specific Gameweeks, such as the FA Cup third round or exceptionally juicy European double headers.
We plan to tweak our beloved fantasy game in other ways too, guided by feedback provided by thousands of Dream Team gaffers, but we have to keep some secrets for now.
Elsewhere, we're planning to make Score Predictor bigger and better than ever.
In 2025/26, you will enter predictions for EVERY Premier League game, as well as selected FA Cup and international fixtures.
Every correct score prediction will earn you one entry into a prize draw for £10,000!
Furthermore, we're excited to announce that we will be offering a Score Predictor game for the 2025 Women's Euros as the Lionesses hope to defend their crown this summer.
Then in the summer of 2026, Dream Team bosses will be able to sink their teeth into the men's World Cup, when Thomas Tuchel will aim to end England's years of hurt in Canada, USA and Mexico.

It's early days but the 2025/26 Dream Team season is shaping up nicely.
You will be able to sign-up for the upcoming Game Year in June!
More information on all things Dream Team will be provided in the coming weeks.

Identity Fraud Surges Across UK Real Estate Sector
New research has revealed that 70% of real estate professionals have witnessed a rise in identity fraud in the past year, as businesses grapple with the growing threat of sophisticated digital deception. Despite the surge, only 14% regularly escalate fraud cases to the authorities, raising concerns about accountability and enforcement. The study of 250 UK-based real estate workers was conducted by Credas Technologies, which specialises in identity verification technology, and highlights a growing reliance on technology to fight back. Nearly two-thirds (65%) of real estate companies now detect fraud through digital or automated methods, signalling a strong shift towards tech-led defences. More than half (52%) of respondents reported encountering fraudulent identity documents, with fraud cited as the most pressing concern in ID verification (34%), followed by customer experience (24%) and operational inefficiency (20%). 'Fraud is getting worse,' said Tim Barnett, CEO of Credas. 'But the good news is that technology is not just keeping pace, it's gaining ground. Digital ID verification is proving to be one of the most effective tools in detecting and preventing fraud, while also improving the experience for legitimate customers. The future of fraud prevention is automated, intelligent, and proactive.' However, the report also reveals a troubling gap in response. While fraud is on the rise, 56% of real estate professionals rarely or never escalate cases to the authorities, suggesting a potential weakness in the broader fraud response ecosystem. 'As fraudsters grow more sophisticated, the message is clear,' Tim continued. 'The real estate industry must adopt more advanced techniques to stay ahead.'

NATO ministers to discuss defence spending hike ahead of key summit
BRUSSELS, June 5 (Reuters) - NATO defence ministers will gather in Brussels on Thursday to discuss how to meet Donald Trump's demand for significant increases in spending, less than three weeks ahead of a key summit of the alliance in The Hague. The U.S. president has said NATO allies should boost investment in defence to 5% of gross domestic product, up from the current target of 2%. Diplomats say the European allies understand that hiking defence expenditure is the price of ensuring a continued U.S. commitment to the continent's security and that keeping America on board means allowing Trump to be able to declare a win on his 5% demand during the summit, scheduled for June 24-25. "We have to go further and we have to go faster," NATO Secretary-General Mark Rutte told reporters on Wednesday. "A new defence investment plan will be at the heart of the NATO summit in The Hague," he added. In a bid to meet Trump's 5% goal, Rutte has proposed alliance members boost defence spending to 3.5% of GDP and commit a further 1.5% to broader security-related spending, Reuters has reported. But details of the new investment plan will likely continue to be negotiated until the very eve of the NATO summit. "We have to find a realistic compromise between what is necessary and what is possible really to spend," German Defence Minister Boris Pistorius said on Wednesday. Countries remain divided over the timeline for a new pledge. "There's not unlimited time," U.S. ambassador to NATO Matthew Whitaker told reporters on Wednesday. Rutte has proposed reaching the 5% by 2032 – a date that some eastern European states consider too distant but which some others see as too early and unrealistic given current spending and industrial production levels. A 2032 target is "definitely too late", Lithuanian Defence Minister Dovile Sakaliene said on Wednesday, arguing for a target of 2030 at the latest. There is also an ongoing debate over how to define "defence-related" spending, which might include spending on cybersecurity and certain types of infrastructure. "The aim is to find a definition that is precise enough to cover only real security-related investments, and at the same time broad enough to allow for national specifics," said one NATO diplomat.
