'bedtime story perhaps for playgroup?' is the definition.
I don't know anything about this answer so I can't tell whether it can be defined by this definition.

'fantasy football side' is the wordplay.
I cannot really understand how this works, but
'fantasy' could be 'dream' (dream is a kind of fantasy) and 'dream' is found within the answer.
'side' could be 'team' (a side is a sporting team) and 'team' is present in the answer.
No letters remain.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).

'in' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for dream team that I've seen before include "An ideal mix of people" , "Ideal combination" , "Perfect combination of people for a task" , "Group considered as perfect for a given task" .)

I've seen this clue in The Irish Times.
