Adjusting to a new league can be very tough at times, and that proved to be the case with Max Meyer last season. The former Schalke man earned only 15 starts for Crystal Palace in 2018-19, producing one goal and two assists.

He should be capable of much more now that he's had 12 months to adjust to a new league and culture.

Meyer, who has four caps for Germany and captained the team at the 2016 Olympics, had five goals and five assists in his best Bundesliga season back in 2015-16. His stay at Schalke ended on a sour note though, after he was forced to play out of position in a more defensive midfield role.

Palace manager Roy Hodgson has again given Meyer more freedom on the pitch which has helped the midfielder demonstrate his talents once more. He's earned a lot of praise for his preseason performances, and that should lead to him playing a much bigger role in 2019-20 - especially when Wilfried Zaha's exit comes a reality.
