# Crystal Palace: Fans want Max Meyer to be given more opportunities

**Many Crystal Palace fans feel like Max Meyer has not been given enough chances since he arrived on a free transfer from Schalke in July 2018.**

The creative midfielder has struggled to make an impact in the 51 appearances he has made for the club, scoring twice and assisting three times, per [Transfermarkt](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/max-meyer/leistungsdatenverein/spieler/146164), but fans believe that this is due to the fact that he’s rarely bee given a sustained run in the side.

As per [WhoScored](https://www.whoscored.com/Teams/162/Show/England-Crystal-Palace), Roy Hodgson has prefered to operate with a five-man defensive midfield with Meyer not featuring more often than not, with him only featuring regularly in a 4-4-2 system, which has only been used twice.

The future of Meyer will be interesting to see play out, as his contract runs out in 2021, per [Transfermarkt](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/max-meyer/leistungsdatenverein/spieler/146164), so the South London side will have to make the decision whether to let him go on a free next year, give him a new contract, or see if they can sell him in the upcoming transfer window.

Here’s what fans had to say about his career so far:

> A class player who has not been given a consistent run in the team. When he started to get a run he got injured against Arsenal. He is still only 22 and he likes it at palace and Roy rates him

> In my opinion he should be our creative central midfielder to supply Zaha, Townesend, Benteke with the attacking passes. He can make things happen. One for our clubs future?
