Solly March - Assists in draw March assisted once to go with two shots (zero on goal), five crosses (one accurate) and three corners in Sunday's 2-2 draw versus Liverpool.

Impact March got back on the scoresheet for the equalizer during Sunday's draw. The winger has been a mixed bag in 2023/24 but is an excellent option down the flank and has the talent to pose problems for wing-backs up and down the Premier League table. March remains a top threat, though it's worth considering possible rotation in what has become a very deep Brighton squad.

Simon Adingra - Nets from range Adingra scored one goal to go with two shots (two on goal) and three crosses (zero accurate) in Sunday's 2-2 draw versus Liverpool.

Impact Adingra opened the scoring in the first half with a low shot from distance that proved to be enough to beat Alisson. The forward was poised for a breakout season and has earned a significant role despite the loan signing of Ansu Fati. Adingra has the chance to keep that role with goals like this and a pressing mentality up front.

Lewis Dunk - Scores late goal Dunk scored one goal to go with three shots (one on goal), one cross (one accurate) and one chance created in Sunday's 2-2 draw versus Liverpool.

Impact Dunk scored a late equalizer to rescue a point during Sunday's draw. The center-back isn't a major goal-scoring threat but still poses above-average goal-scoring chances from corners and set-pieces. Dunk isn't worth chasing for his goal scoring upside, even with this rare tally.

Igor - Forced off early Igor was forced off in the second half of Sunday's match against Liverpool with an injury.

Impact Igor left the match in the 63rd minute after succumbing to injury and being replaced by Jan Paul van Hecke. Sunday's match was the first start at Brighton for Igor after joining the club in July.

James Milner - Out against former club Milner is not in the match day squad to face Liverpool on Sunday.

Impact Milner misses out on his third straight match in all competitions as he continues to recover from a muscle strain. Milner will have just under two weeks to recover before Brighton's next match.

OCTOBER 8, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Adam Lallana - Available from bench Lallana is fit and in the match day squad to face Liverpool on Sunday.

Impact Lallana returns from an undisclosed injury which has kept him out of Brighton's past two matches in all competitions. Lallana has made just one start on the season as a depth option for Brighton.

James Milner - Doubt against Liverpool Milner (strain) is a doubt for Sunday's clash with Liverpool, according to manager Roberto De Zerbi. "I don't know if we can play with James Milner."

Impact Milner will be facing a late fitness test to get back on the pitch for Sunday's clash. With Tariq Lamptey an option to be rested it's possible that Milner could even be handed the start if he can pass the late tests in front of him.

OCTOBER 6, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Tariq Lamptey - Minutes limited Lamptey could be rested for Sunday's clash with Liverpool, according to manager Roberto De Zerbi. "I think he was one of the best for us on the pitch. Now the problem is for Sunda...

Impact Lamptey played well during a two-all draw with Marseille but could be rested with just three days between that match and a tough clash with Liverpool. James Milner is one option to return to the starting XI and take over at full-back if Lamptey is rested.

OCTOBER 6, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Joel Veltman - Creates chance Veltman created one chance and made two tackles during Thursday's two-all draw with Marseille.

Impact Veltman has started five of his last six matches at right-back since taking over as the top option in the backline. The defender is likely to continue this role, though he is a far more defensive option than any sort of attacking threat. The right-back will hope to continue his strong defensive form heading into the international break.

OCTOBER 5, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Solly March - Struggles continue March shot once and failed to get on the scoresheet for Thursday's 2-2 draw with Marseille.

Impact March's Europa League troubles continued Thursday as he failed to get on the scoresheet and was shutdown throughout most of the match. The winger is still a talented option, but he just hasn't been able to convert his chances in recent matches with no goals in his last five appearances.

OCTOBER 5, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Pascal Gross - Scores in draw Gross scored on one shot during Thursday's 2-2 draw with Marseille.

Impact Gross got on the scoreboard with a goal, and looked fully fit throughout the match. It's a great sign for the midfielder who was listed as unlikely to play as a precaution with a muscular problem. He passed all the late fitness tests with flying colors though and got straight back into the starting XI.

OCTOBER 5, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Adam Lallana - Misses UEL clash Lallana (undisclosed) will be unavailable versus Marseille on Thursday.

Impact It will be the second straight absence for Lallana, raising doubts regarding his availability versus Liverpool on Sunday as well. Even prior to getting hurt, Lallana was struggling for minutes, having made just one start and been an unused substitute twice this season.

OCTOBER 5, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

James Milner - Still sidelined Thursday Milner (strain) will not be in the squad versus Marseille on Thursday.

Impact With the short week, it's hard to see Milner returning in time to face Liverpool on Sunday either and he likely will be out through the international break. Prior to his two-match absence, the right-back started four of his six appearances for the club, including the previous UEL clash with AEK. Joel Veltman figures to continue filling the right-back role with Milner out of action.

OCTOBER 5, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Pascal Gross - Won't be risked Gross (strain) is a game-time call for Thursday's trip to Marseille, but won't be risked, according to manager Roberto De Zerbi. "It's a very important game, but I can't take a ris...

Impact Gross won't play Thursday unless he passes every single fitness test with flying colors it appears. As De Zerbi's comments were very clear about the midfielder's long-term importance to the club, especially moving into the busiest part of the Premier League schedule.

Pervis Estupinan - Out for "long time" Estupinan can't play for a "long time," according to manager Roberto De Zerbi due to a muscle injury.

Impact It sounds like a typical muscle injury for Estupinan, or at least that's the hope which will have him out for around a month. Tariq Lamptey is most likely to see an uptick in minutes, though Igor is also an option to feature at full-back. James Milner can also play anywhere and if fit, he'll be an option, as well.

OCTOBER 4, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Pervis Estupinan - Reportedly suffers injury Estupinan suffered an injury in Saturday's loss against Aston Villa and is "set to miss games," reports Mike McGrath of The Daily Telegraph.

Impact The substitution was originally believed to be tactical for Estupinan on Saturday, as he left with two other players at halftime, but unfortunately that may not be the case. Estupinan has been a lock for the starting XI when healthy under Roberto De Zerbi and if he's forced to miss time, that could mean extended minutes for Tariq Lamptey.

OCTOBER 4, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Pervis Estupinan - Scores own goal in loss Estupinan generated an own goal and one shot (one on goal) in Saturday's 6-1 loss against Aston Villa.

Impact Estupinan scored against his own net in the 26th minute to give Aston Villa the 3-0 lead in the first half. The left-back couldn't do much after that. He was subbed off during halftime as they ended up with a tough loss on the road.

OCTOBER 2, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Joao Pedro - Assists in tough loss Joao Pedro assisted once to go with one shot (zero on goal), two crosses (zero accurate) and two chances created in Saturday's 6-1 loss against Aston Villa.

Impact Joao Pedro assisted Ansu Fati in the 50th minute, but couldn't help Brighton avoid the tough loss. That was his first assist in the season, to go with four goals. The forward came off the bench for the fifth time in the season, while logging three starts.

OCTOBER 2, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Ansu Fati - Scores as substitute Ansu Fati scored one goal to go with four shots (one on goal) and one chance created in Saturday's 6-1 loss against Aston Villa. In addition, he was given a yellow card in the 72nd...

Impact Ansu Fati scored in the 50th minute, but it wasn't enough to avoid the tough loss on the road. That was his first goal in the season. The forward logged his sixth appearance off bench so far, with only one start.

OCTOBER 2, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Jason Steele - Allows six goals at Aston Villa Steele had four saves and allowed six goals in Saturday's 6-1 defeat to Aston Villa.

Impact Steele had a game to forget, conceding six goals to Aston Villa on the road. He did match his season-high in saves in the proccess, though. The goalkeeper will now have a tough time to bounce back against Marseille and Liverpool in sequence.

Adam Lallana - Picks up minor injury Lallana is out for Saturday's trip to Aston Villa due to a minor injury, manager Roberto De Zerbi announced. "Adam Lallana can't play, it's not a big injury though."

Impact Lallana's injury was immediately deemed minor by De Zerbi, but it's still one to monitor ahead of a Thursday trip to Marseille in the Europa League. Lallana's absence will shift Danny Welbeck into attacking midfield, likely bringing Facundo Buonanotte or Ansu Fati into the starting XI on the wing.

SEPTEMBER 29, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

James Milner - Ruled out Milner (strain) is out for Saturday's trip to Aston Villa, according to manager Roberto De Zerbi. "James Milner doesn't play tomorrow."

Impact Milner won't return for Saturday's clash with Aston Villa with the same muscle injury he suffered in the Europa League. There's no definite timeline for the veteran midfielder's return, though his first chance to get back on the pitch is presumably a Thursday clash with Marseille in the Europa League.

SEPTEMBER 29, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Pascal Gross - Out Saturday Gross (strain) is out for Saturday's clash with Aston Villa, according to manager Roberto De Zerbi. "Pascal [Gross] is not available, he might be able to play in the Europa League...

Impact Gross is out Saturday with the same muscular injury that cost him a clash with Bournemouth. The positive development here is that Gross now has a specific return date, with eyes on a return during Thursday's trip to Marseille in the Europa League.
