4. Patrick van Aanholt - Crystal Palace, £5.4m
One defender who has gone somewhat under the radar this season is Patrick van Aanholt. The Dutchman got an assist on the opening day of the season against Fulham, and scored soon after against Bournemouth, but has not managed to double his tally in either since then. Despite that, he has managed to accumulate 70 points this season - more than Kyle Walker.

Martial already looks a different, revitalised player now that he is free of the shackles of José Mourinho's negative tactics. An excellent goal against Cardiff topped off a fantastic performance from the Frenchman, and with Rashford starting United's last two games up front, Martial will likely be brought back into the fold.
He also counts as a midfielder, despite basically being a striker.Shamrock Rovers boss hits out at Heimir Hallgrimsson over selection of wonderkid
