Julio Enciso - Reportedly out four months Enciso will miss up to four months after suffering a meniscal tear in his knee during training, reports Roberto Rojas of DAZN.

Impact It's a tough early-season injury for the younger Enciso, who was set to play in upcoming World Cup qualifiers with the Paraguay national team. After appearing in 20 matches last season, he was expected to see more time this season, though that's unlikely to happen, depending when he can get back on the pitch. The injury likely means more consistent starts for newcomer Joao Pedro.

Pascal Gross - Creates two chances Gross created two chances and made one interception during Saturday's 4-1 win over Wolves.

Impact Gross is off to another busy start in defensive midfield, with eight chances created in two matches. While he hasn't gotten on the scoresheet yet, Gross has looked excellent and maintains part of the set-piece share. Brighton also look like one of the most dangerous PL attacks through the opening two matches, adding to Gross' upside.

Julio Enciso - Suffers trama in knee Enciso (knee) has suffered trama to his left knee during training on Monday snd will continue to be monitored by the training staff in the status of his return, per Roberto Rojas o...

Impact Enciso could be looking at some time on the sidelines after picking up a left knee injury in training. He had started last Saturday against the Wolves, totaling two assists, tying his season total from last season in just one game. More information regarding his timetable for return should come out within the next few days, with Joao Pedro expected to start at the attacking midfield against West Ham on Saturday.

Julio Enciso - Two assists in victory Enciso assisted two goals and attempted four shots (one on target) before being substituted after a heavy challenge in Saturday's 4-1 win over Wolves.

Impact Enciso, who came into the starting XI at the expense of Joao Pedro, set up two very similar goals for Solomon Match. His injury went unmentioned in the post-match media rounds, but he seemed to be in discomfort as he left the pitch after a strong tackle. Enciso and Pedro are set to fight each other for the number-ten role this season and the Brazilian will start if Enciso cannot recover for Saturday's game against Newcastle.

Kaoru Mitoma - Scores wonder goal Mitoma scored once with his only shot and registered one assist from four chances created in Saturday's 4-1 win versus Wolves.

Impact Mitoma opened the scoring when he picked up the ball in midfield and beat several defenders before finishing clinically into the far corner. The winger struggled for goals and assists towards the end of last season, but he has hit the ground running with three goal involvements in the first two fixtures. He ranks joint first for chances created (at the time of writing) with nine.

Pervis Estupinan - Scores and assists Estupinan scored once from two shots (one on target) and registered one assist from two chances created in Saturday's 4-1 win over Wolves.

Impact Estupinan assisted Kaoru Mitoma for the opener, before powering in the second from inside the area. With only two games gone, Estupinan already has three attacking returns from the left-back position. However, Brighton now face a run of trickier fixtures in which he might have to give more focus to his defensive responsibilities.

Solly March - Scores brace March scored twice from five shots (four on target) and attempted four crosses (none accurate) in Saturday's 4-1 win against Wolves.

Impact March followed up his goal in the opening game with two more, which both came from close range after being set up by Julio Enciso. The winger created one goal-scoring opportunity and was not afraid to do his far share of defensive work, winning three of his four tackles.

AUGUST 20, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Jason Steele - Concedes once Steele conceded one goal and made four saves in Saturday's 4-1 victory over Wolves.

Impact Steele was denied a clean sheet when his side conceded from a corner at 4-0 up. Brighton have a potent attack, but they do concede chances and Steele would have had more to do if the opponents had gotten more of their efforts on target. Next up is the visit of West Ham on Saturday, which is followed by two difficult games against Newcastle and Man Utd.

Adam Lallana - Available off bench Saturday Lallana (hamstring) is on the bench for Saturday's match against Wolverhampton.

Impact Lallana had been dealing with a hamstring injury during preseason that forced him to sit out the opener against Luton Town, but he recovered just in time to crack the bench here. Don't expect him to see regular minutes even if he's available, though, and the nature of his role would limit his fantasy upside considerably.

Adam Webster - Starting against Wolves Webster (undisclosed) is in the starting lineup for Saturday's game against Wolverhampton.

Impact Webster missed the season opener with a minor injury, but he was expected to be available for this one and such will be the case, as he'll start at center-back alongside Lewis Dunk. Webster made 23 starts in 27 appearances at center-back last season.

Tariq Lamptey - Playing with youth team Lamptey took part in Friday's U21 clash with Chelsea, as he recovers fitness, manager Roberto De Zerbi told reporters.

Impact Lamptey is set to spend two weeks with the youth side to build fitness after recovering from a long-term knee injury. Before suffering the knee injury Lamptey had been purely a bench option, something that is unlikely to change moving forward.

Adam Lallana - Set to play against Wolverhampton Lallana (hamstring) is expected to be in contention for Saturday's match against Wolverhampton.

Impact Lallana had been dealing with a hamstring injury during preseason that forced him to sit out the opener against Luton Town. With just 12 starts in 16 appearances last season, he could be an option to start for the team in the next coming matches if he can maintain healthy and fit.

AUGUST 18, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Adam Webster - Expected to be an option Saturday Webster (undisclosed) will be available for Saturday's match against the Wolves after returning to training this week, confirmed manager Roberto De Zerbi.

Impact Webster is back and is expected to get the start at center back Saturday after recovering from a minor injury that forced him to miss the first match of the season. He made 23 starts in 27 appearances at center back last season, but missed out on a few games due to injury.

Danny Welbeck - Hits the post twice. Welbeck attempted four shots (one on target) in Saturday's 4-1 win against Luton.

Impact Welbeck was unlucky not to get on the scoresheet as he saw two efforts bounce back off the post. The striker faces competition from young striker Evan Ferguson, but he will fancy his chances of scoring lots of goals playing as the number nine in a team that creates so many chances.

AUGUST 13, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Kaoru Mitoma - Assists in win Mitoma bagged an assist from five chances created and attempted four crosses (one accurate) in Saturday's 4-1 win against Luton.

Impact Mitoma looked dangerous down the the left-hand side and could easily have finished the game with more than one assist. The winger's form tailed off towards the end of last season, but he looked refreshed after the off-season and will aim to build on the seven goals and five assists he managed in 22/23.
