With all these players taking the spotlight there will surely be an inflation of their prices. But woud this be a good time to move for players who are not at the World Cup? As important as they might have been at the end of the leagues, they will be somewhat forgotten by the end of the World Cup. Just like by the end of the Champions League PSG's fantastic run in the group stage had been largely forgotten after they went out in the first 16. Just like players like Alvaro Morata are not considered surplus after a few months of not playing though they were stars 1 summer ago. Just like how Gylfi Sigurdsson was third best assister in the PL a few months ago and now he's a nobody at Everton. Best players not at the World Cup, without counting Palace players like Zaha or Sakho, cause they're alreasy here: (in no particular order)
*excluding the injured ones like Ox, Dani Alves, Lanzini, Gnabry, Kokorin or Emre Can. I hope I'm not forgetting anyone important.

The bold only works if you use the HOL formatting - does not copy and paste with formatting. There are maybe four or five we could go for. Shurrle the stand-out one but rumours seem to have ended.

All too expensive for us. Could you do a list of the best players not at the World Cup and not on your list?

With a budget of, let's say 35 million, my picks would be: any of the bolded right backs- 5-7 million Bastos, Rakitsky or Yanga Mbiwa would be the easiest to bring out of the center backs- 5-7 million Gonzalo Castro seems to be leaving Dortmund and Aranguiz might be available cheaper than usually with Leverkusen missing out on the Champions League. Their deals run out in 2020. Daniel Wass has been spectacular for a Celta Vigo team that missed out on European football next year. His deal runs out in 2019, Celta wants to cash in, Palace were once linked- each of these who could be brought for 5 million would be wonderful. Ok, if you spend like 20 million so far, then that's only 15 million to go. And 2 strikers out of Plea, Duvan Zapata, Niasse and Origi. Couldn't really get 2 with just 10 million left, but selling Benteke would bring in the needed money. Edited by mattteo (23 Dec 2018 5.35pm)

I don't think we require a right back if Ward resigns as cover for W-B. I know Ward was exposed and sometimes lacking pace but I think money would be better spent on a quality midfielder that could sit in front of the right back. I could see Dendonker fitting into the midfield and would rather see us keeping Andros and not signing anyone from West Ham or Wiltshire as he is always injured. Just my opinion.

Update on best players who didn't make it past the group and whose value did not increase after the WC: ..................Navas................. Kimmich.....Koulibaly....Glik.....Kolarov In bold, players Palace might have a shot at.

All those players in bold would have cost at most 20 million last summer. Look where they all are now
