Starting with pace, Palmer feels good for a CAM. He’s quick enough to find pockets of space, drift between the lines, and support counterattacks, though he isn’t blisteringly fast.

His shooting with his strong foot is one of his standout qualities. Finishing feels very satisfying, especially inside and around the box.

As a playmaker, Palmer is solid rather than elite. His passing is clean and accurate, allowing him to link midfield and attack effectively.

In terms of ball control and dribbling, Palmer feels smooth and comfortable. His touches are clean, his turns are sharp, and he handles tight spaces well.

His physicality is an underrated strength. For a CAM, Palmer holds his ground well, doesn’t get pushed off the ball easily, and can survive physical challenges in crowded areas.
