Bissouma. Defensively solid this season, starts attacks, a threat from distance is as tricky as they come. Other people may make cases for Dunk, Lamptey or Lallana possibly even Solly March who has been fantastic but this season so far Bissouma has proved himself to be one of the best midfielders in the league ( in my opinion ).

Lamptey?

Similarly, I was recently thinking about who out most valuable player (ie the one we could sell for the most) is.
Lewis Dunk's value is likely to be on the wane now, due to age, whilst Ben White is on the ascendancy, but coming on fast on the outside is Tariq Lamptey.

He is an outstanding prospect. In some ways, a bit like Bissouma in that he needs a good run of games before he can really show how good he is. Bissouma has gone from rough uncut diamond to an absolutely quality and very consistent midfielder in one full season. But in reality, I'd be surprised if anyone can touch Lamptey in terms of quality, who will surely get his chance at a top 4 club in the coming years, and will rival Lawrenson as one of the greatest players we will ever see in the stripes.

Best technically are
Lallana, Gross and Trossard in that order.
They are not the three I'd be most upset about losing

Veltman is an excellent player if you appreciate defending and game management. He was really getting at Grealish superb play against Villa.

As exciting as he is, he's not a finished product yet.
Still a bit naive and over enthusiastic at times, if you are being picky then a couple of shots he had after a great break could have been better.
Being picky yes, but this fine, fine potential has not yet matured fully. When he does.....well.
You could add Propper to that list, on a good day he can be sublime.
Its a daft question really, as best is so subjective.

I can see the appeal yet the lad is still raw and inexperienced which shows at times.

Who do we miss the most at the moment when not on the pitch definitely Lallana.

Not sure how good he would be in goal, so probably not the best goalkeeper.

I would have said the same at the start of the season as I think Alzate is brilliant but as he hasn't played recently and Lamptey has moved on to a completely different level now, it's got to be Lamptey. Bissouma and Alzate next though.
Wish we knew why Alzate isn't playing, it's certainly not down to ability.
Finally the good side of the double edged sword that is 'but they're all just similar £15m players'.
Basking in the afterglow of 1 (one) excellent win I think we can say 'thankfully they're all nearly £20m players'.
White and Lamptey WILL BE our best players, but one of the many joys of not being palace is I don't think the team currently has a best (or worst*) player.
I can't think of a player who can't be replaced from within the squad.
Perhaps Lallana on the back of WBA, but I'm pretty sure GPott had a massive learning curve on the back of that second half horror show, which in future will take the edge off him missing.
*Hopefully Maty can get Saturday out of the way with that still intact.

Whisper it quietly, but our statistically best-rated player so far this season is... ahem... Solly March.
