Moisés Caicedo - Starting against Spurs Caicedo is fit and in the starting XI for Saturday's match against Tottenham.
Enock Mwepu - Remains unlikely to return Mwepu (undisclosed) isn't expected to return for Saturday's match against Tottenham, according to the team.
Impact There hasn't been a ton of information on the injury or recovery, but it doesn't seem like Mwepu will be ready Saturday. Brighton turned to Pervis Estupinan on the wing in Mwepu's first absence and that'll likely be the strategy again, as that allows Leandro Trossard to move into a more forward role in the midfield.

Moisés Caicedo - Late test against Spurs Caicedo is considered a late test for Saturday's match against Tottenham, according to manager Roberto De Zerbi. "He didn't work with the team yesterday. We will be looking at the...
Impact Apparently this isn't a problem according to De Zerbi, but if he's not training two days before a match, it's not a good sign. Caicedo has been vital for Brighton this season and he's played almost every minute in league play. If he can't go, they don't have a ton of replacements for his job, though Adam Lallana is healthy again and Billy Gilmour is waiting on the bench for minutes.

Robert Sanchez - Busy for draw Sanchez made five saves and one clearance in Saturday's 3-3 tie against Liverpool.
Impact Sanchez faced eight shots from a Liverpool side who fell behind early and did well to earn the point. Sanchez has conceded only eight goals in seven matches behind a brilliant Brighton defense, adding three clean sheets in that time. While it's uncertain if Brighton can continue this level of form, Sanchez should be good value for double-digit clean sheets for the third consecutive campaign.

Pervis Estupinan - Busy in draw Estupinan had three crosses (one accurate) and one chance created in Saturday's 3-3 draw versus Liverpool.
Impact Estupinan got the starting during Saturday's draw and filled the stat sheet defensively, as well as creating a chance. The left-back has looked strong when called upon and with the international break behind him it's possible that Estupinan makes the job his own moving forward. Estupinan is a worthwhile fantasy option when in the starting XI, though with a hectic October ahead rotation could be on the cards even if he is the number one choice at left-back.
OCTOBER 1, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Solly March - Opens assist account March assisted once to go with four crosses (one accurate) and one corner in Saturday's 3-3 draw to Liverpool.
Impact March provided his first assist of the campaign during Saturday's draw, setting up the red-hot Leandro Trossard. March hasn't been overly productive in his last two seasons, falling into more of a rotation role, though that seems to have changed in 2022/23. The winger has started every single Premier League match and has six chances created through seven matches. March should have solid value on both sides of the ball for a Brighton side who continue to sit near the top of the table.
OCTOBER 1, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Danny Welbeck - Assists Saturday Welbeck assisted once to go with two shots (two on goal) and two chances created in Saturday's 3-3 draw against Liverpool.
Impact Welbeck provided one assist on two chances created in what was truly his best performance of the season. The forward has remained a consistent starter in a Brighton team that seem to be improving throughout the early stages of the campaign. While Welbeck seems to have lost a step he still offers some fantasy upside due to his position and ability to link up with the red-hot Leandro Trossard.
OCTOBER 1, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Leandro Trossard - Hat trick in draw Trossard scored three goals to go with four shots (four on goal) and one cross (zero accurate) in Saturday's 3-3 draw versus Liverpool.
Impact Trossard scored three brilliant goals to leave Anfield with a point against Liverpool. The winger has taken a more attacking role recently and is showing why with his continued brilliance in front of goal. Make that five goals and one assist through seven games for Trossard, putting him on pace to blow past his eight goal and three assist tally from the 2021/22 campaign.
OCTOBER 1, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Tariq Lamptey - Fit enough to feature in squad Lamptey is fit and in the match day squad to face Liverpool on Saturday.
Impact Lamptey is good to go after dealing with a knock in the buildup to the match. The wing-back has made five appearances this season all coming as a substitute.
OCTOBER 1, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Adam Lallana - Returns to bench Lallana is fit and in the match day squad to face Liverpool on Saturday.
Impact Lallana returns after dealing with a calf injury that has kept him out since August. The midfielder starts from the bench but is available if called upon Saturday.

Enock Mwepu - Ruled out Saturday Mwepu won't be in the squad to face Liverpool on Saturday due to an undisclosed injury. Manager Roberto De Zerbi told reporters, "Enock Mwepu is unavailable. We are waiting for him...
Impact Mwepu has started two straight contests before the international break in which he registered one assist, two shots (one on target) and two crosses (zero accurate). With the midfielder sidelined and Adam Lallana (calf) and Tariq Lamptey (undisclosed) unavailable to start, it could fall to Billy Gilmour to feature in the starting XI.

Tariq Lamptey - Dealing with knock Lamptey suffered an undisclosed injury while on international duty and may not be available to start against Liverpool on Saturday. Manager Roberto De Zerbi told reporters, "Tariq...
Impact Lamptey has yet to start for the club in six matches this season, including one stint as an unused substitute, so it's not clear how much of a factor he would have been in the starting XI anyway. At this point, until he can break onto the pitch with consistency, the midfielder figures to be a relative non-factor in fantasy contests.

Adam Lallana - Back on training pitch Lallana (calf) could be a bench option versus Liverpool on Saturday after manager Roberto De Zerbi told reporters, "Adam Lallana trained today with the squad and the first XI. I th...
Impact Considering Lallana hasn't been on the pitch since Aug. 21 versus West Ham United, the fact that he will come off the bench the first time out shouldn't be a surprise. Still, the attacking midfielder did start all three of his appearances before suffering his calf problem and could be in contention for a spot in the starting XI once back to 100 percent.

Kaoru Mitoma - Helping off bench Mitoma has made four appearances off the bench to open the 2022/23 EPL season.
Impact Mitoma hasn't offered much but still helps fill out the depth on the flanks as a good second full-back. Recently scoring and starting for the Japanese national team could be a sign that while his value won't be so high in league he could make a splash when the World Cup comes in November.

Jeremy Sarmiento - Gets minutes with Ecuador Sarmiento (knee) played 45 minutes off the bench in Tuesday's match with Ecuador.
Impact Sarmiento appears to be healthy again and should be an option off the bench coming out of the break, at a minimum. He hasn't played because of injury this season and now he'll have to win over the new manager, but he figures to find more time than a season ago.
