3. Patrick van Aanholt - Crystal Palace, £5.4m
Palace are a strange side. Their left-back is more of an attacking threat than either 'winger' on the pitch, as both of their natural wingers play up front in a bizarre Simeone-esque 4-4-2. Van Aanholt loves to charge forward and does occasionally pop up with the occasional goal or assist. Palace have to start scoring eventually, and they won't get a better chance than against Burnley, who have not looked themselves this season. The Dutch Roberto Carlos only costs a reasonable £5.4m and has racked up an impressive 47 points this season.
4. Leroy Sané - Manchester City, £9.3m
Hardly a hidden gem, but last season's Young Player of the Season is a must have - now more than ever. With Benjamin Mendy unfit, and Fabian Delph therefore taking his place at left-back, Sané is all but guaranteed to start every league game on the left wing. Pep Guardiola relies on either Mendy or Delph to stretch the pitch on that side, and City always try to get the ball to the byline for a cut-back followed by a tap-in. The German currently has 69 points under his belt, 19 of which he amassed against West Ham last weekend.
5. Moussa Sissoko - Tottenham, £4.9m
Sissoko is one of the most bi-polar players on the planet. He's either unplayable, with his powerful runs through midfield, or so useless that his contributions are to the detriment of the team. Right now, he is the former. Mauricio Pochettino has found the perfect role for his unique skillset - on the right of a midfield three, which has truly got the best form out of his 'transition king'. His burst through Inter's midfield led to Tottenham's winning goal on Wednesday night, and the Frenchman will be hoping to repeat these heroics against Arsenal.Explore more on these topics:
