Joel Veltman - Confirmed as out Veltman is not in the match day squad to face Chelsea on Saturday.

Kaoru Mitoma - Making first EPL start Mitoma is fit and in the starting XI for Saturday's match against Chelsea.

Kaoru Mitoma - Could be option Saturday Mitoma (ankle) has been training and should be an option Saturday against Chelsea, according to manager Robert De Zerbi.

Impact Mitoma has a chance to be pushed into the starting XI if ready Saturday, mainly because Joel Veltman is a doubt on the back line. That absence would force De Zerbi to change up his starting XI or even formation. Mitoma has gone more than 27 minutes just once this season and when he did, he suffered this ankle injury.

Adam Lallana - Available against Chelsea Lallana is available for selection Saturday against Chelsea after being forced off early last weekend, according to manager Roberto De Zerbi.

Impact Lallana should remain in the starting XI Saturday, though nothing is guaranteed if De Zerbi decides to change the formation. If not, Lallana has been playing as an attacking midfielder, producing one shot and three chances created in his last two starts without much else.

Joel Veltman - Doubt against Chelsea Veltman (calf) is considered a doubt for Saturday's match against Chelsea, according to manager Roberto De Zerbi.

Impact Brighton don't have a ton of depth on the back line, so Veltman's absence could either change the formation or force someone like Pervis Estupinan into a back three. It's a tough situation for De Zerbi going against Brighton's former manager and it may force a formation change.

Kaoru Mitoma - Back in limited training Mitoma (ankle) was pictured in limited training Thursday ahead of Saturday's match against Chelsea.

Impact Mitoma has been out since the Oct. 14 contest when he sprained his ankle, but it's been two weeks and he's close to a return. It's looking like he'll be back on the bench Saturday against Chelsea. If that's the case, it wouldn't be surprising if he received a start prior to the break, as Roberto De Zerbi hasn't rotated his side much since joining the club.

Haaland's scoring streak leaves Guardiola speechless

Joel Veltman - Leaves early against Man City Veltman was replaced by Pervis Estupinan after 65 minutes of Saturday's match against Manchester City.

Impact Veltman was able to walk off the pitch without assistance but asked for a change after running out his legs for the day. So long as nothing else comes up after some tests, Veltman should be able to keep up his streak of starting in each league match.

Kaoru Mitoma - Out Saturday Mitoma (ankle) didn't make the bench for Saturday's match against Manchester City.

Levi Colwill - On bench against Man City Colwill (undisclosed) made the bench for Saturday's match against Manchester City.

Impact Colwill was a game-time call after missing on the squad for a couple of matches but he's played just twice all season. Still a youngster gaining experience, Colwill has more work to do in order to play regularly.

Kaoru Mitoma - Will be reassessed Saturday Mitoma (ankle) will face a late-fitness test in the lead-up to Saturday's matchup with Manchester City.

Impact Mitoma has featured exclusively off the bench this season, so his return to the match-day squad likely won't mean a spot on the pitch. The midfielder should continue to serve primarily in a substitute role, making him a low-end fantasy option the rest of the way.

OCTOBER 21, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Levi Colwill - Facing late-fitness test Colwill (undisclosed) will be reassessed prior to kickoff against Manchester City on Saturday.

Impact Considering Colwill has been an unused substitute six times this season and has logged a combined 12 minutes off the bench in his two appearances, fantasy players are unlikely to be impacted by his perspective return to the squad.

Robert Sanchez - No saves for draw Sanchez made no saves in Tuesday's 0-0 draw against Nottingham Forest.

Impact Sanchez earned a clean sheet despite not facing a single shot or making a save.

Solly March - Creates three chances March had one shot (one on goal), four crosses (one accurate), and one corner in Tuesday's 0-0 draw to Nottingham Forest.

Impact March's three chances created were a season-high for the midfielder once more matching his three created last time out against Brentford. The midfielder has been a consistent starter, seemingly finally securing a starting role after being limited to the bench in each of the past three seasons. March has the potential to be a consistent fantasy producer with 13 chances created in 13 appearances as well as 41 crosses in that time.

OCTOBER 18, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Pascal Gross - Excellent volume continues Gross had four shots (two on goal), eight crosses (two accurate), and six corners in Tuesday's 0-0 draw versus Nottingham Forest.

Impact Gross kept the excellent volume going with a team-leading eight crosses and a joint-high four shots on the way three chances created. The wide midfielder has been a consistent provider with a stable floor and some strong upside yet again. Gross is on pace to once again finish with double digit goal contributions, picking up after a down season in 2021/22.
