THREAD: Here are my top 5 players from last season& #39;s Championship that I expect to thrive in the Premier League this season:
Illan Meslier – Leeds
It’s not often a GK can boast a 70% clean sheet rate, but that& #39;s what Meslier did after making the Whites& #39; XI at the end of last season, conceding just 4 goals in 10 games.
No surprise his deal was made permanent, and the 20 y/o should remain first choice

Andre-Frank Zambo Anguissa – Fulham
The 24-year-old midfielder was impressive on loan at Villarreal last season, who have bid £22m to keep him in Spain.
He was part of Fulham’s disastrous 2018/19 PL campaign, but this time around his quality could thrive in a stronger side

Ben White – Brighton
Take any metric from last season& #39;s Championship and White is up there.
- Part of a Leeds defence that conceded the least goals
- 1st for # of interceptions (86)
- 5th for pass accuracy (85%)
The centre-back is young, English and has the tools to soar

Matheus Pereira – West Brom
£9m already looks a steal. One of the players of the Championship season, Pereira notched eight goals and 20 assists, but even aside from his material impact on games, he was terrific in a number of different roles for Slaven Bilic’s side
