Adam Webster - Misses Burnley loss Webster wasn't in the squad for Saturday's loss against Burnley due to a slight groin strain.

Impact Webster missed a rare match Saturday and it turned into a terrible result for Brighton. Given that performance, it wouldn't be surprising to see Webster back in the XI against Villa next match, likely taking the spot of Shane Duffy on the back line if they continue with four defenders.

Shane Duffy - One on-goal shot during start Duffy logged one on-goal shot across 90 minutes during a 3-0 loss Saturday versus Burnley.

Impact Duffy was Brighton & Hove Albion's only footballer who logged an on-goal shot Saturday. However, the central defender mostly disappointed during his first Premier League start since Dec. 4. Adam Webster and Lewis Dunk remain more favorable options than Duffy.

Tariq Lamptey - Two accurate crosses during start Lamptey logged two accurate crosses across 90 minutes during a 3-0 loss Saturday versus Burnley.

Impact Lamptey was the only Brighton & Hove Albion team footballer who logged multiple accurate crosses Saturday. He could continue to start while Lewis Dunk remains suspended. However, there is a chance BHA manager Graham Potter utilizes the team's three other defenders instead.

Robert Sanchez - Surprisingly bad against Burnley Sanchez conceded three goals during a 3-0 loss Saturday versus Burnley.

Robert Sanchez - Busy in loss Sanchez made five saves during Tuesday's 2-0 loss to Manchester United.

Impact Sanchez made five saves and was looking solid in the first half of Tuesday's defeat. Once Lewis Dunk was sent off it was all hands on deck for Sanchez, who actually managed to stem the tide until the 97th minute of the match. A late Bruno Fernandes goal ended any chances of a top fantasy day for Sanchez, but he should be a strong contender for a clean sheet against Burnley, who tend to struggle offensively.

FEBRUARY 15, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Alexis MacAllister - Sees yellow in loss Mac Allister made four interceptions and created a chance during Tuesday's 2-0 loss to Manchester United.

Impact Mac Allister had some defensive volume and saw a yellow card late on during Tuesday's loss. The midfielder tends to be one of the few strong fantasy options on this Brighton side. He will be a strong fantasy play against Burnley, who struggle to shut down creative wingers such as Mac Allister.

FEBRUARY 15, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Yves Bissouma - Busy defensively Bissouma made four tackles and six interceptions as well as three clearances during Tuesday's 2-0 loss to Manchester United.

Impact Bissouma had a bunch of defensive volume, with Brighton going down to 10 men, and leaving a plethora of defensive chances for Bissouma to clean up. Unfortunately for fantasy managers Bissouma tends to offer no offensive upside and often has little-to-no fantasy relevance. He will be a fringe play against Burnley next time out.

FEBRUARY 15, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Lewis Dunk - Sent off against Man United Dunk was sent off with a straight red card in the 54th minutes of Tuesday's match against Manchester United.

Impact Dunk clumsily lost the ball as the last man back and then he took down Anthony Elanga, which led to a straight red card following a VAR check. It wasn't a great move by Dunk and now Brighton will be down to Shane Duffy and Adam Webster at center-back for upcoming matches. It's not a great situation, as they haven't added anyone following the transfers of Ben White and Dan Burn.

FEBRUARY 15, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Enock Mwepu - Hopeful by end of week Mwepu (undisclosed) is hopeful to return to training by the end of the week, according to manager Graham Potter.

Impact Mwepu has been out around a month now, so even if he's training in a few days, he'll need to get back his fitness. Combine that with the rest of the squad being healthy and Mwepu probably doesn't have a starting role at the moment, similar to earlier in the season.

Robert Sanchez - Easy clean sheet Sanchez made one save during Saturday's 2-0 win over Watford.

Impact Sanchez had one of the easiest day's it's possible to have in the Premier League. The keeper faced only one shot, and it wasn't a particularly dangerous shot. Sanchez is unlikely to have such an easy day against Manchester United next time out.

FEBRUARY 12, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Pascal Gross - Busy in rout Gross sent in four crosses and created two chances during Saturday's 2-0 win over Watford.

Impact Gross started for the fourth match in a row and did well to create two chances. He made the most of a minor role on set-pieces and created some dangerous moments in the match. The midfielder will go against Manchester United's stout defense next time out.

FEBRUARY 12, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Tariq Lamptey - Assists in win Lamptey provided one assist on one chance created during Saturday's 2-0 win over Watford.

Impact Lamptey earned his second assist of the season and continued his run of sending in more than five crosses. This recent crossing form give Lamptey a surprisingly safe fantasy floor, and has made him a consistent option when in the starting XI. He has a tough match with Manchester United next time out.

FEBRUARY 12, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Adam Webster - Scores again Webster scored once on two shots on goal during Saturday's 2-0 win over Watford.

Impact Webster scored his second goal in three games an unusual rate for the big central defender. He isn't much of a fantasy option normally and this run of goal-scoring isn't worth chasing. Webster will be under pressure against Manchester United next time out.

FEBRUARY 12, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Neal Maupay - Nets in win Maupay scored once on three shots (two on goal) during Saturday's 2-0 win over Watford.

Impact Maupay netted his eighth goal of the season during Saturday's comfortable win. The forward is one of the few bright points on this side, and is a strong fantasy play, in good form. Maupay will look to break down Manchester United next time out, who have struggled recently.

FEBRUARY 12, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Leandro Trossard - Available against Hornets Trossard (COVID-19) is available for Saturday's trip to Watford, according to manager Graham Potter.

Impact Trossard looks to be ready for Saturday's match after testing positive for COVID-19 last week. When healthy, he's started almost every match this season, something that has continued from last campaign. In 20 starts, he has four goals and one assist from 53 shots and 28 chances created.

FEBRUARY 10, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Alexis MacAllister - Available at Watford Mac Allister (COVID-19) is available for Saturday's trip to Watford, according to manager Graham Potter.

Impact Mac Allister is available going into the weekend, which was expected after testing positive for COVID-19 more than a week ago. It's expected he'll remain in the starting XI given recent performances, going a full 90 in each of the last four, producing two goals, one assist and 17 corners.

FEBRUARY 10, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Leandro Trossard - In doubt Saturday Trossard is questionable for Saturday's matchup with Watford after testing positive for COVID-19, per Richard Mills of SussexLive.

Impact Trossard was absent from the club's FA Cup matchup with Tottenham on Saturday. The forward is currently stuck in a four-match goal drought during which he registered 10 shots (two on target) and five crosses (one accurate). If he is cleared to play, Trossard should be in contention for a spot in the starting XI.

FEBRUARY 7, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Enock Mwepu - Edging closer to return Mwepu (undisclosed) is back in training and should be an option soon, according to manager Graham Potter.

Impact Mwepu isn't well enough for Saturday's FA Cup match, but he'll have another week to get fit for the Feb. 12 league contest. While he got some more time prior to injury, he may return to a bench role with most of the other regulars returning to health in recent weeks.

FEBRUARY 3, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Shane Duffy - Available after break Duffy (ankle) has been training over the break and should be available going forward, according to manager Graham Potter.

Impact Duffy has been out a month with an ankle injury, but he's recovered and will be an option going forward. It's unknown what role he'll play, having not started since Dec. 4 because of injury and COVID-19 in addition to Brighton turning to a four-man back line in recent games.
