Youve just got to stand back and admire the Roy-volution 2.0 at Crystal Palace. Nobody expected his return to - well, to be frank, actually work. Yet here we are, on the verge of Fut 24 Coins the first season sans Wilf Zaha in over a decade, and theres a positive buzz around Palace.

Eberechi Eze and Michael Olise are creative superstars in the making, Marc Guéhi is a growing star at the back and Jefferson Lerma will offer steel in the middle. Though still short of a prolific striker to really make a mark in 2023/24, Palace look like top-half material.

The Blues finished all the way down in 12th last term and though Mauricio Pochettino has come in, is he really enough to carefully navigate the club through such turbulence? Chelsea have sold eight players for over £200m combined this summer and released a bunch more, including seven regular starters from last season.

They are severely lacking numbers in central midfielder after sending Mateo Kovačić and Mason Mount to direct Premier League rivals, while their top signing, Christopher Nkunku, is now injured until December at the earliest. Pochettino is not a miracle worker. Volatile.

Brighton have enjoyed a terribly sensible summer so far. No giddiness following their marvellous 2022/23 adventure, just deeply reasonable dealings in and out of the club.

They extracted solid money for Alexis Mac Allister and ousted keeper Robert Sánchez to pave the way for more exciting young talents... and James Milner. Mahmoud Dahoud is a fine free signing from cheap EA FC 24 Coins Dortmund, while £30m man João Pedro represents their best shot at a reliable centre-forward in several seasons. Established.
