Key strength: Pace and recovery
Overlapping full-back
With Crystal Palace sitting precariously in 14th place, the pressure is on new signing Daniel Muñoz to cement his place in Oliver Glasner's backline. The 29-year-old Colombian right-back arrived from Racing Genk in January 2024 and carries a significant €25m valuation that reflects his explosive pace and defensive nous. Despite limited minutes so far—just one appearance yielding a goal contribution—Muñoz offers exactly what Palace craves: an attacking full-back who can bomb forward while maintaining 1v1 solidity. His partnership with defensive linchpin Marc Guéhi (78-rated) and the versatile Chris Richards provides a foundation for Palace to climb the table. As Muñoz battles Tyrick Mitchell and Borna Sosa for minutes on the flanks, his Colombian international pedigree suggests he can be the difference-maker in tight margins. The 90-minute sample size may be small, but his balanced 70-rated attributes across the board indicate a player ready to deliver consistent performances when called upon.
