Jan Paul Van Hecke - Signs through 2027 Paul van Hecke signed a contract extension through 2027, Brighton announced.
Impact van Hecke signed the contract extension through 2027, his second extension in five months.

Danny Welbeck - Targeting Sunday return Welbeck (strain) is targeting a return for Sunday's clash with Arsenal, according to manager Roberto De Zerbi.
Impact Welbeck is moving towards a return, though he isn't quite ready for Thursday's Marseille showdown. The forward has largely been a back up to Evan Ferguson and Joao Pedro but rotation means Welbeck has still earned eight starts in 10 appearances, scoring just once.

Joao Pedro - Takes four shots versus Burnley Joao Pedro had four shots (two on target) and created one chance during Saturday's 1-1 draw against Burnley.
Impact Joao Pedro was deployed at a different positioning here but still brought danger when given the chance, once again matching his season high in shots attempted. The forward is Brighton's top scorer in Europa League right now, with five goals in as many appearances but still has room to improve his domestic numbers as he also scored five times in 16 games.
DECEMBER 11, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Kaoru Mitoma - Takes five shots off bench in draw Mitoma had five shots (one on target), created one chance and sent in three inaccurate crosses during Saturday's 1-1 draw against Burnley.
Impact Mitoma was brought as part of a double halftime substitution and brought immediate firepower to Brighton's attack by both creating for teammates and finishing plays from the left flank. The benching was more for keeping the winger fresh for midweek's Europa League clash than anything, so count on him to be back in the lineup for Dec. 17 visit to Arsenal.
DECEMBER 11, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Bart Verbruggen - Concedes one versus Burnley Verbruggen made two saves and conceded one goal during Saturday's 1-1 draw against Burnley.
Impact Verbruggen returned to the net after being benched in each of the previous two contests and ended up being betrayed by a deflection that made Wilson Odobert's shot go over him for the goal that broke the deadlock just before halftime. On the other hand, the goalkeeper made a pair of huge saves during the second frame to keep his side in contention. The competition with Jason Steele for the starting spot keeps very tight so it's very hard to bet on who will get the nod for Dec. 17 visit to Arsenal.

Pascal Gross - Logs assist versus Burnley Gross made an assist, had four shots (two on target), created six chances and sent in 16 crosses (six accurate) during Saturday's 1-1 draw against Burnley.
Impact Gross had a man-of-the-match performance here, creating a lot for teammates from both open play and set pieces, establishing a new season best in both crosses attempted and accurate crosses, with one of them becoming an assist for Simon Adingra to head home the equalizer in the 77th minute. With one goal, four assists, 16 chances created and 36 crosses over his last five starts, Gross is right now a dream pick for any fantasy team regardless of the opposition he's facing and the position he's being deployed on.

Over the last three starts, Adingra racked up nine shots, 11 chances created and 14 crosses, so he's right now one of EPL's top fantasy performers at his position.

Billy Gilmour - Logs six crosses versus Brentford Gilmour had one off-target shot, created three chances, sent in six crosses (three accurate), drew two fouls and was shown a yellow card during Wednesday's 2-1 win over Brentford.
Impact Gilmour was a threat as a set-pieces taker, with his crosses not only adding to his stat line but also generating real danger. His current role on the team guarantees a nice fantasy floor and the midfielder can be even more effect when it starts translating into goals and scoring chance in a more regular basis.

Joao Pedro - Takes four shots versus Brentford Joao Pedro had four shots (two on target) during Wednesday's 2-1 win over Brentford.
Impact Joao Pedro couldn't extend his three-game scoring streak in all competitions but was dangerous as usual up front, pacing his side in shots attempted and prevailing over opposing defenders several times. With three goals and nine shots attempted over his last three EPL appearances (one start), the striker keeps strengthening his case to establish himself in the lineup.

Jason Steele - Concedes once against Brentford Steele made zero saves and conceded a penalty goal during Wednesday's 2-1 win over Brentford.
Impact Steele was beaten from the penalty spot in the 27th minute and then saw his side dominating the rest of the way to get a come-from-behind win. The negative side for the goalkeeper was the fact that the couldn't make any save during the entire contest so everyone who picked him for fantasy team's was probably unsatisfied after this one. Up next for Steele is Saturday's home clash against Burnley.

Jack Hinshelwood - Scores first career goal Hinshelwood scored a goal off his lone shot, created one chance and made three clearances, two interceptions and one block during Wednesday's 2-1 win over Brentford.
Impact Hinshelwood had an unforgettable evening as he was the hero for Brighton. First, he made an off-the-line clearance with the match was still tied at 1-1. Then, he went up the field to head home a cross from the left to score what ended up being the game-winning goal in the 52nd minute. That was the first career goal for the youngster, who started in each of the last three matches in all competitions and should rack up many more starts moving forward.

Kaoru Mitoma - Logs assist in win over Brentford Mitoma made an assist, had one off-target shot, created three chances and sent in two crosses (one accurate) during Wednesday's 2-1 win over Brentford.

Impact Gross was key for his side to win all three points here, as he scored his side's first goal with a beautiful finish from just outside the box just after the half-hour mark and then assisted Jack Hinshelwood's game-winner with a perfect cross from the left flank. The midfielder, who's also used as a full-back at times, is coming off the best season of his career and started the current campaign with even better numbers, at least on Premier League games, with three goals and four assists over 13 appearances so far.

Danny Welbeck - Spotted in training Friday Welbeck (strain) was spotted in training, but it remains to be seen if he'll be an option to face Burnley on Saturday.
Impact Welbeck was initially expected to be back at some point in January, but he is beating the expected timeline, and his return to training suggests he might return to the squad before the end of the calendar year. Welbeck hasn't played since Oct. 21, and while he has started in eight of his previous 10 appearances in all competitions, he has just one goal to show for it.

Jakub Moder - Returns off bench Moder has made two appearances off the bench before Saturday's clash with Burnley.
Impact Moder came back from nearly two years on the sideline and now has started to ramp up his minutes off the bench. The midfielder will likely not start before the international break but once he's fully fit Moder could compete for a more consistent role in the first team.

Lewis Dunk - Available for selection Dunk is available to return for Saturday's clash with Burnley due to a two-match ban for dissent.
Impact Dunk was sent off for verbally insulting an official and was sidelined for two matches. Now that he is eligible to return he will likely find his way directly into the starting XI once more. The defender could replace Igor or Jan Paul van Hecke as injuries have left Brighton heavily shorthanded in central defense.

Mahmoud Dahoud - Eligible to return Dahoud is eligible to return from a three-match ban for Saturday's clash with Burnley.
Impact Dahoud served a three-match ban and is now eligible to return after spending more than a month on the sideline. The midfielder has played a good bit in the starting XI of late though Carlos Baleba has done well in the starting XI so it's unclear if Dahoud will return immediately to the pitch.
