JUST a few weeks ago, merely the notion of an Everton defender thriving in the world of Dream Team would have been laughable.<\/p>\n
Now it's a reality.<\/p>\n
Vitaliy Mykolenko (\u00a32.7m) entered the top ten assets in his position this weekend with a 10-point return at Brighton's expense.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
The Toffees' left-back would have risen to joint-sixth had his side held on for a win over the Seagulls but Ashley Young's (\u00a31.9m) late own goal meant even honours at Goodison Park on Saturday.<\/p>\n
Mykolenko gave his side the lead early on when his strike deflected in off Lewis Dunk (\u00a32.5m) and he played his part in a classic rearguard before the visitors eventually broke through with a slice of good fortune.<\/p>\n
While the Ukraine international would have been disappointed with the result having led for so long, he continued his impressive turnaround in the world of Dream Team.<\/p>\n
By the end of Gameweek 6, Mykolenko had just 16 points to his name.<\/p>\n
However, after an upturn in form, emphasised by a burst of 40 points across the last four Gameweeks, he now boasts an overall total of 62.<\/p>\n
Incredibly, he's now above the likes of Kyle Walker (\u00a33.5m), Virgil van Dijk (\u00a34.5m) and Gabriel (\u00a34.1m) in the rankings.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Not that many Dream Team gaffers have benefited from this purple patch.<\/p>\n
