What a season for Crystal Palace in 2014-15 with managerial changes and ultimately a tremendous finishing place courtesy of the returning prodigal son Alan Pardew. Crystal Palace are now establishing themselves as a fixture in the EPL and their status as a London Club very much helps in terms of recruitment of quality overseas talent.
We can only see Palace solidifying such status and their business in the transfer window so far illustrates the confidence and belief at Selhurst Park.

Firstly they secured Scott Dann to a new contract despite interest from a number of so called bigger clubs. Dann is a very solid reliable defender and will offer value in fantasy play coming as he does from outside the perceived 6 -8 big clubs. It is in Midfield where Palace have an abundance of talent.
The pace and power of Yannick Bolasie & Wilfred Zaha will cause their opponents problems whilst the form of Michael Jedinak (penalty taker last season) and the stunning signing of Yohan Cabeye offers great balance for Palace. We feel any of these selections can pay dividends in fantasy play this season.
In attack Glenn Murray was a constant threat last season but may be moving on to new pastures. The season long loan signing of Patrick Bamford is an interesting move. Bamford who was on a season long loan at Middlesborough in the Championship last season having had earlier spent time with AFC Wimbledon is still of interest to his home club Chelsea, who have signed him to a new contract. Look to see Bamford prove he can score goals in the top flight.
Prediction - safe in mid table.
Players to watch: Scott Dann (Defender), Yohan Cabeye (Midfielder), Patrick Bamford (Attacker)
