Tyrick Mitchell:
The first of two Crystal Palace players who have made the list, left-back Tyrick Mitchell has enjoyed an impressive campaign under new manager Patrick Vieira.
Since making his debut in the 2019/20 season, Mitchell saw his involvement rise to a rotation player in 2020/21 before becoming one of the first names on the team sheet in 2021/22.
Aided by the signing of left-sided centre-back Marc Guehi, who himself had an argument to be nominated, the 22-year-old boasts the defensive ability of an old fashioned full-back while offering a threat going forward.
A recently capped England international, Mitchell has recorded the highest amount of tackles for a defender this season.
"It's positive for the club." 🦅
