JEFFERSON LERMA
Midfielder · Crystal Palace · Premier League
“Colombia’s box-to-box screen, always reading danger early.”
GoalPost verdict
GoalPost score (GPS)
GoalPost read
Lerma remains a valuable deep midfielder: a veteran in his peak years, with his strongest recent spell at Bournemouth. The value holds below the top because he is not assured to start and the league carries a discount.

Analysis overview
J. Lerma plays like a midfielder who is permanently tuned into the next problem. He covers ground with purpose, steps into passing lanes early, and snaps into duels before opponents can settle. In possession, he keeps it simple and sharp, linking phases and arriving in support rather than lingering on the ball.
