Palace for 2014

Between the posts we are very solid. I haven't seen such a good performance by on of my former teams (both goalies have an 7.20+ average rating). Lindner is on the fringe and I'm looking forward finding him a new club, on loan or otherwise)

Four great center backs for Palace at the moment, but the most important are by far Strandberg (7.47) and Isimat-Mirin (7.37). With Cathcart and Dawson also playing well, we will have to let Terziev leave the club.

Lamine Gassama has been by far the best right back at Selhurst Park this first part of the season. He looks indispensable at the moment because of the performance of his reserves Carazinho and Clyne.

Luca Antonelli is the number 1 defender in the left side for the Eagles. Here we have the same concern like in the right side, no solid reserves for the main left back, just Parr and the same old Clyne.

Both Marrone (7.01) and Crisetig (7.07) have this position covered for Palace this season. So no point in ruining the italian  job at Selhurst Park with another addition to the squad.

Jack Rodwell (7.15) has been sensational this far, but let's not rule out Svensson (7.13) who is the perfect man to play alongside Rodders. I had higher expectations from the other center midfielders, Cork (6.94), McArthur (6.84) and french player Gonalons (6.71).

Dudu (7.44) or Assaidi (7.19) have the right winger position more that covered this season. This is just a great news for Palace fans and a very big concern for Zaha.

With Adam Johnson (7.77) playing at a world class level, there are no question about  his place in the first eleven. Drenthe (7.17) and Cabella (7.47) have many reasons to be concerned, because the could leave the club soon.

Last season we could have considered it luck, but until now we have another fantastic season by german striker Julian Schieber (7.65). He is by far, alongside Johnson the main reason why the Eagles are performing so well in the league.

Here we have the analysis made by me, Issot and Benevan for the all the Palace players (both at the beginning of the season and at the middle of it)
