Brighton midfielders seem to be the hot topic in FPL right now. I’m getting a few questions so thought it would be easier to do a short thread.

Nothing ground-breaking, but hopefully some useful insight.

📊 𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗦𝘁𝗮𝘁𝘀

• March and Mitoma consistently returning since the break

• Mac Allister’s xG hasn’t been converted into FPL points (yet!)

• March the most creative by far
🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 𝗠𝗮𝗿𝗰𝗵 (𝟱.𝟭)

I’ve never doubted his effort but end product hasn’t always been there. However, since RDZ joined, we have seen the best version of Solly.

In the form of his life and stats support that. Although, worth remembering he is a historical xG under-performer.
🇯🇵 𝗠𝗶𝘁𝗼𝗺𝗮 (𝟱.𝟯)

Electric. He passes the eye test with flying colours. The type of player you want in your FPL teams.

A bit quieter recently. I think opponents have targeted him - Fulham essentially started 2 right backs.

But he is a matchwinner and always looks lively.

With Lallana out, Ale has been moved into a more advanced position.

Since the switch, his goal threat has shot up. IF he starts in the no.10 role, he is our best option and has the bonus of penalties.

He is likely to start in that position…
🇦🇷 𝗠𝗮𝗰 𝗔𝗹𝗹𝗶𝘀𝘁𝗲𝗿 (𝟱.𝟰)

… But I can’t say he is guaranteed to play in that role every week.

There is always the possibility he drops back, if Sarmiento gets a start or Gross is needed at full back.

And I think his best position is in the pivot next to Caicedo.
🌍 𝗜𝗻𝘁𝗲𝗿𝗻𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝗮𝗹𝘀

Mac is in the Argentina squad, and Mitoma will be heading to Japan.

Both play their second games on Tues 28th, before DGW29 begins Sat 1st.

Shouldn’t be too much to worry about. And our match against Brentford is big, so we’d want full strength.
🤷🏻‍♂️ 𝗪𝗵𝗼 𝗶𝘀 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗯𝗲𝘀𝘁 𝗼𝗽𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻?

They all have their positives and negatives.

I know this is a cop out answer, but I think this decision comes down to personal preference.

Form/stats? March.
Eye test? Mitoma.
Upside risk vs reward? Mac Allister.

All good picks.
Personally, I think I will be transferring in Mitoma this week. But I’ll be happy if any of them find the back of the net!

My GW26 predicted lineup will be posted later this evening.
Have a nice weekend everyone.
