Enock Mwepu - In contention Saturday Mwepu (hamstring) could be an option against Leeds United on Saturday. Manager Graham Potter told reporters, "Enock's recovered well and trained this week. We need to see how he is...

Impact While Mwepu had started two straight contests prior to getting hurt, he has only featured in the starting XI three times this season. As such, the midfielder is far from a lock to start versus Leeds. When he has played, Mwepu has registered one goal on three shots (one on target), nine tackles (six won) and five interceptions in six appearances.

NOVEMBER 25, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Steven Alzate - Returns to training Alzate (ankle) returned to training with Brighton on Tuesday.

Impact Alzate hasn't featured since suffering an ankle injury against Crystal Palace on Sept. 27. There still is no timetable for his return, but the fact that he's training means he is getting closer.

NOVEMBER 23, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Lewis Dunk - Makes five clearances Dunk finished with five clearances, one tackle, one interception and one block in Saturday's 2-0 loss to Aston Villa.

Impact Dunk has now gone four appearances without a clean sheet, hurting his value after be a part of four shutout performances in the eight matches prior. With Brighton now winless in its last seven league games, Dunk and company will hope to break their slump this Saturday against Leeds.

NOVEMBER 22, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Jason Steele - Concedes two in loss Steele made three saves and conceded two goals during Saturday's 2-0 loss against Aston Villa.

Impact Steele made his Premier League debut with Brighton after three seasons, replacing suspended Robert Sanchez, and looked on his way to a clean sheet. But the opposition had other plans as they came striking with two goals over the final six minutes to win all three points in play. Despite the late goals allowed, Steele left a good impression between the sticks. Sanchez remains a lock in the starting XI when available though, so Steele will back him up once again during next Saturday's home match against Leeds.

NOVEMBER 22, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Adam Webster - Performs well in start Webster had one off-target shot, sent in two inaccurate crosses, made three tackles and five clearances and was shown a yellow card during Saturday's 2-0 loss against Aston Villa.

Impact Webster started for the first time after recovering from a hamstring injury that sidelined him for one and a half month and did a nice job, which included a season-high five clearances and even some contributions on the attacking end. The centre back will probably remain in the lineup for next Saturday's home match against Leeds.

NOVEMBER 22, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Yves Bissouma - Makes seven tackles in loss Bissouma made seven tackles (six won), one clearance and one interception during Saturday's 2-0 loss against Aston Villa.

Impact Bissouma bossed the middle of the park, winning six of his seven tackles and helping the defensive line holding the opposition scoreless for most of the match until two late goals made that all his efforts were in vain. With 12 tackles (10 won) over his last two starts, Bissouma will try to help his side getting back on track during next Saturday's home match against Leeds.

NOVEMBER 22, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Pascal Gross - Sends in 11 crosses in loss Gross had one off-target shot, created two chances, sent in 11 crosses (one accurate) and won one tackle during Saturday's 2-0 loss against Aston Villa.

Impact Gross was back in the starting XI and made most of the opportunity, being Brighton's main source of offense, which included a game-high 11 crosses. Aided by his role on set pieces, the midfielder racked up at least eight crosses in seven of the eight matches he started so far this season. Up next for him is Saturday's home match against Leeds.

NOVEMBER 22, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Robert Sanchez - Eligible to play Saturday Sanchez has served his one-match suspension and is available to play in Saturday's matchup with Leeds United.

Impact Sanchez is a lock to replace his spot in the starting XI for Saturday's clash. In his 11 appearances this year, the keeper allowed just 12 goals while making 25 saves, including four clean sheets.

Gerrard makes winning start as Villa beats Brighton 2-0

Dan Burn - Back in squad Burn (knee) is on the bench for Saturday's match against Aston Villa.

Impact Burn recovered over the break and is healthy enough to be on the bench. The downside is that it appears Burn is about the fifth option at center-back for Brighton, meaning playing time could be hard to come by in coming weeks and months.

NOVEMBER 20, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Aaron Connolly - Available again after break Connolly (heel) has been training and is available for Saturday's trip to Aston Villa, according to manager Graham Potter.

Impact Connolly is healthy again, but that doesn't mean much for Brighton. He's appeared in two matches this season and given that Neal Maupay has recently moved to the bench, there's no reason to expect Connolly to start over him.

NOVEMBER 18, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Enock Mwepu - Out against Villa Mwepu will miss Saturday's match against Aston Villa, according to manager Graham Potter. "Mwepu won't be available. He's not too bad but it's come too soon. We're hopeful for Leed...

Impact It's unfortunate for Mwepu, who was finally getting consistent minutes for Brighton. He suffered the issue in the match before the break and it looks like he could miss the next couple matches given that it's a hamstring injury. Pascal Gross is an option to start again, but Alexis Mac Allister and Jakub Moder could also be considered.

NOVEMBER 18, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Neal Maupay - Used off bench Maupay came on with 25 minutes to play and was shown a yellow card in Brighton's recent 1-1 draw against Newcastle.

Impact Maupay was hardly involved after being introduced, but that didn't prevent him from picking up his third caution of the season. After scoring four times through Brighton's first six games, the striker hasn't found the back of the net since, failing to place a single shot on target in his last four appearances as well.

NOVEMBER 17, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Shane Duffy - Concedes once versus Newcastle Duffy had a shot on goal, made four clearances and committed one foul in Brighton's recent 1-1 draw against Newcastle.

Impact Duffy saw a lot of the ball, completing 78 of 85 passes, which helps explain his low defensive activity, as he didn't register a single tackle, interception or block. Even though his Brighton defense allowed a goal, Duffy has been a good source of clean sheets this season, posting four in 10 appearances.

Danny Welbeck - Could return in December Welbeck (hamstring) is progressing quicker than expected and could return before January, according to manager Graham Potter. "I would say there is a good chance of him returning b...

Impact Welbeck underwent surgery on his hamstring last month and a return in December is by no means guaranteed. The team went through almost a year-long wait with Tariq Lamptey, so it'd be a surprise if they brought Welbeck back too fast. For now, it's still hard to see him playing before the New Year.

NOVEMBER 12, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Enock Mwepu - Injured with national team Mwepu was forced out of international action for Zambia because of a hamstring injury suffered in training, according to the team doctor.

Impact It's a disappointing injury for Mwepu, who had started the last two matches for Brighton. He was beginning to figure things out in the Premier League, though he was subbed off early at the break against Newcastle last match. Injury or not, he'll be moved in and out of the starting XI this season with minimal fantasy value.

NOVEMBER 11, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Tariq Lamptey - Delivers seven crosses in draw Lamptey took two shots (one on target), created two chances, delivered seven crosses, made two clearances and committed three fouls in Saturday's 1-1 draw versus Newcastle.

Impact Lamptey was not able to make it on the scoresheet Saturday but he still managed to rack up offensive stats. The defender had a great outing on the offensive end in his first start of the season with two shots, two chances created and seven crosses. He will look for another strong performance Saturday versus Aston Villa.

NOVEMBER 8, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Marc Cucurella - Attempts two shots in draw Cucurella took two shots off target, created two chances, delivered two crosses and won three tackles in Saturday's 1-1 draw versus Newcastle.

Impact Cucurella was not able to make it on the scoresheet Saturday but he still managed to be active on both ends of the floor. The fullback has yet to register a goal or assist this season, but he has produced three shots, four chances created, seven crosses, four tackles won and one interception in his last three appearances. He will look for another strong performance Saturday against Aston Villa.

Leandro Trossard - Converts PK in win Trossard converted a penalty kick, took fives hots (three on target), created three chances, delivered three crosses, won one tackle and drew four fouls in Saturday's 1-1 draw vers...

Impact Trossard had a great offensive outing Saturday as he converted a penalty kick in the first half, took five shots and created three chances. The striker has now registered two goals in his last two games, along with producing seven shots, five chances created and three crosses in the same time span. He will look for another strong offensive performance Saturday versus Aston Villa.

NOVEMBER 8, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Robert Sanchez - Sent off Saturday Sanchez received a straight red card in the 92nd minute against Newcastle United on Saturday. As a result, the keeper will be suspended against Aston Villa on Nov. 20.

Impact Sanchez was the last defender back and clipped the heels of Newcastle's Callum Wilson to prevent the forward from having a clear run at goal. With Sanchez sidelined, Jason Steele figures to don the gloves versus Villa.
