Team: Crystal Palace

Considering how terrible Palace were last year under Alan Pardew and Sam Allardyce, you'd be forgiven for avoiding their players entirely this season. Or you would if they hadn't been given a huge boost with the appointment of Frank De Boer as manager.

This year, they should be an entirely different team, and with De Boer's Ajax experience behind him, they'll be a more free-scoring outfit. Not that it will be hard to outscore last year's haul of 39 that saw Palace finish 4th bottom in terms of goals scored.

It's likely De Boer will turn to Zaha to play a key role in his attacking approach, and he'd be right to, considering he provided 11 assists and 7 goals. All together, that made him accountable for almost half of Palace's total goals last season, so his value is obvious, even if the £7m tag suggests otherwise.
