Patrick‌ van Aanholt is another full-back on this list who has a tendency to burst forward and augment his side’s attacking force. His efforts have paid off as well so far this season, as he has two goals in eight matches for the Eagles - one of which came against Manchester United to secure all three points for Palace.

Another thing that makes Van Aanholt a crucial purchase is the fact that he’s assigned to penalty duty for Crystal Palace. Usually, Luka Milivojevic takes them, but in his absence Van Aanholt will step up.

He’s cheaper than Matt Doherty, by £0.4m and some would probably argue that he’s actually a better choice to have anyway. This in turn would allow you to put that money saved elsewhere into the team.

To top it all off, Patrick‌ van Aanholt has a whopping 39 points so far this season, making him one of the highest-scoring defenders in the game and definetely one to add to your squad.
