Solly March - Sends in four crossesMarch attempted four crosses (three accurate), won one tackle and made two interceptions in Saturday's 3-1 win against Newcastle.
ImpactMarch ranked joint first for attempted crosses for Brighton alongside Pascal Gross, though he was unable to create any goal-scoring opportunities. The winger got off to a great start this season, but has blanked in consecutive games since scoring three in the opening two.

Billy Gilmour - Assists in winGilmour assisted one goal from two chances created in Saturday's 3-1 victory against Newcastle.
ImpactGilmour picked up an assist for the second and was also involved in the first when his shot was parried into Evan Ferguson's path by the keeper. The central midfielder is important for his team with and without the ball, but he is unlikely to register a significant number of attacking returns over the course of the season.

Kaoru Mitoma - Another assistMitoma registered one assist from three chances created and attempted four shots (one on target) in Saturday's 3-1 win over Newcastle.
ImpactMitoma created more chances than any other player and now has three assists after four games, only two short of his tally from last season. The winger looks a real danger when he has the ball anywhere in the final third and he is more than capable of putting the ball in the net as well as setting up his teammates.

Evan Ferguson - Scores hat-trickFerguson scored three goals from four shots (all on target) in Saturday's 3-1 with against Newcastle.
ImpactFerguson put in a dominant display that showed why he is considered one of the most promising young strikers in world football. He showed good instinct to follow up a shot for his first, hit a long range curler for his second, before seeing a deflected strike wrong-foot the goalkeeper. He becomes only the fourth player to score a Premier League hat-trick before their 19th birthday after Chris Bart-Williams, Robbie Fowler and Michael Owen.

Bart Verbruggen - Concedes once in victoryVerbruggen made two saves and conceded once in Saturday's 3-1 win over Newcastle.
ImpactVerbruggen was making his second start since signing from Anderlecht in the summer and he was denied his first clean sheet in a Brighton shirt when Callum Wilson struck in stoppage time. It remains to be seen if manager Roberto De Zerbi will stick with one goalkeeper or if he will rotate Verbruggen with Jason Steele throughout the season.

Kieran Trippier - Five crosses in defeatTrippier sent in five crosses (one accurate) and created one chance in Saturday's 3-1 loss to Brighton.
ImpactTrippier has attempted 21 crosses in the opening four games, more than any other Newcastle player. His team have had a tough start to the season and the full-back is yet to register an attacking return, yet he will fancy his chances of getting off the mark soon as they now face a run of easier fixtures.

Alexander Isak - Four shots in lossIsaak attempted four shots (none on target) in Saturday's 3-1 defeat to Brighton.
ImpactIsak scored twice in the opening-day victory against Aston Villa, but has only managed one shot on target in the three games since. With Callum Wilson pushing for a place in the starting XI, Isak needs to start delivering or he could soon find himself warming the bench.
