Brighton's 2022/23 kit was a beauty, but who are you picturing in it?

markmarston5h ago

Solly March!

dakir.thanveer3d ago

What a season that was! For some reason, it's Welbeck for me. 😅

Who has been Brighton's best player this season? 🤔

tom.procter6d ago

Gross and I dare say he’s in the conversation for best player in the whole PL so far??

Gross for sure. But also impressed by Kostoulas and De Cuyper

How would you rate the season so far for Brighton?

eoin12d ago

A+++ , most impressive team in the league this season for me. Kostoulas is going to be a Superstar

markmarston12d ago

A because there’s always room for improvement. Genuinely think they could get top five this season. Imagine Brighton in the Champions League?! Would be class to see and you know Tony Bloom would spent another £200m to help them compete.

dantowen8195112d ago

Easy A - extremely good. Hurzeler I think is very underrated. Look at what he’s getting out of Gomez, Kostoulas, De Cuyper, Kadioglu…

UNBELIEVABLE! Brighton come from two goals down to beat Man United 3-2! What is your immediate reaction? 🤩

markmarston17d ago

Brighton are such a fun club aren’t they… wonder what their ceiling is this season?

freddie17d ago

Hurzeler is such a top manager! Gonna be a great season 🔥

dakir.thanveer18d ago

Checked the scoreline early on and saw they were 2-0 down! Didn't see this coming! 😳 Hurzeler's boys are on a roll!

Brighton are early FPL darlings, topping the PL for goals (13) and shots on target (24).

However, two of those high-scoring displays came against struggling Villa and newly-promoted Coventry. Are these attack stats actually sustainable long-term, or are managers jumping the gun on a favorable run? 💬👇

dantowen8195119d ago

And there’s still Mitoma to come back! I think Hurzeler gets too much stick at times, he may be less flashy than De Zerbi but the results are still very solid

peter.lynch19d ago

Can’t believe Gross is still doing the business, might be time to show some faith in him!

dakir.thanveer19d ago

Obviously these numbers are too good to sustain, but there is no doubt that there is a lot of value in Brighton players on FPL. I have De Cuyper in my team, might add one of the CBs as well

Scoring goals ain't a problem for the Seagulls! 😎

😮 Brighton had a £39m bid for Malik Tillman rejected by Bayer Leverkusen on Monday - What could have been? 💥

Reports from Germany claim Brighton made a massive offer for Tillman before turning attention to Chema Andres on deadline day! 🔥

ishaan.bhattacharya31d ago

Prem tax? Might just be holding out for more

♥ 1

dakir.thanveer31d ago

I don't understand how Chema Andres is being touted as an alternative to Tillman. Both are different profiles IMO. Nevertheless, I'm more excited by Andres than Tillman, so not at all disappointed by this!

Igor Julio is OFF for £3m! 🚨

🔵 Brighton signed him for £14.5m in 2023 - What are your thoughts on this deal?

dakir.thanveer34d ago

Thought he was a solid addition when left-footed centre-backs were in demand like hot cakes. Didn't expect him to flop this bad!

First defeat of the season despite a big fight at Stamford Bridge - your thoughts? 👇

callum_boyle35d ago

Lots of goals, just defence needing to be sured up. Dunk looked like he struggled against Pedro today

Gutted! But 11 goals in three games! That's solid! Onwards and upwards!👏

Carlos Baleba has joined Man United. What is your final message to the Cameroonian? 😢

Good player but no point keeping someone who wanted to move on. Good luck, but not too much! 🤣

What do you think Jack Hinshelwood's ceiling is, and in what position? 🤔

The 21-year-old's brace against Vill at the No.10 spot poses an intereting question.

freddie41d ago

If he explodes properly this season, Chelsea will buy him…

eoin41d ago

I like him as a 10, but not sure im quite there yet .. deserves to start there Next Game and then well see

An emphatic Brighton win to start the season - your thoughts? 👇

Hinshelwood’s position change has been a revelation. Proper box crasher now. England squad soon…

Promise David has signed for Brighton! Happy with that Seagulls? 👀

leeclarke050846d ago

Could be a good player for Brighton. Let's face it, they get very little wrong in the way of recruitment.

dantowen8195146d ago

He looked very handy at the World Cup! Not sure if he’ll score as many as welbeck did though

Our 2026/27 Premier League predictions are here! Do you agree with where we've put Brighton? 👀

dakir.thanveer46d ago

Ah, Brighton! Every modern day fan's 'second team' because of how well they run and recruit! Keeping the mid-table battle alive again this term

caleb.sage46d ago

More interested in what’s happened to Hurzeler‘s hair! Real elephant in the room 🤣

kyle.dimond46d ago

Yeah sounds about right. Be interesting to see how they replace Welbeck’s goals and work rate but Brighton always find a way.

Diego Gomez is here to stay! What are your expectations for him this season? 🤩

dantowen8195151d ago

Made great strides last season - I think Gomez should be aiming for 8-10 Prem goals and I see no reason why he can’t get it

freddie52d ago

Big news! Top player and think this might just be his season to fully establish himself! Think he’s gonna be up their with Brighton’s player of the year shout!

Brighton have hinted that Stefanos Tzimas will be Danny Welbeck's replacement... thoughts? 🤔

eoin59d ago

R gardless of who comes in it's going to be a big loss. Welbescka presence in the dressing room was just as important as what he did on t

dantowen8195160d ago

Fine with me. Just a shame he spent so much of last season injured! I imagine him replacing Welbeck was the long-term plan when he joined in the first place

Brighton are preparing a HUGE bid for Bergvall! Is he worth that price tag? 😳

freddie72d ago

I’m a BIG Bergvall fan but that’s crazy? £50m at the very very best, think 35/40 is more fair

Brighton reject £5m bid from Anderlecht for Cozier-Duberry... could he have an impact for us this season? 🤔

dantowen8195175d ago

West Ham want him - send him to a top Champ club with an obligation to buy for £20m if they get promoted

markmarston75d ago

I’m not so sure Brighton should. I think if the club can do a deal where they have a buy-back clause inserted or a hefty sell-on, go for it. I can’t see him making much of an impact in the PL this season. Such a big jump from Bolton

Brighton news roundup.

kyle.dimond82d ago

I love them selling Spurs a CB and buying a cheaper, younger one off them. Brighton’s model but using Spurs as a one-stop shop. Fantastic.

jamie.brown8282d ago

Vuskovic is an ELITE signing. Can see him at Barca, Real or Bayern in 2/3 years.

seanfisher82d ago

Brighton’s recruitment model is one you should never criticise. Paul Barber runs the club incredibly well. Vuskovic will be a hit, and he’ll be sold for profit Rinse and repeat transfer business for Brighton nowadays

👀 Luka Vuskovic to Brighton... Will this be the Premier League's best signing of the summer?

kyle.dimond82d ago

Best signing of the summer is a stretch but obviously back Brighton to turn a profit on him at least

charlesjones82d ago

Not even close. Looked out of his depth at the World Cup

leeclarke050882d ago

I think the jury is out on this one but then Brighton don't get much wrong in the market so what do I know...

Some random stats and facts about Brighton:

markmarston89d ago

Brighton’s biggest-ever victory (14-2) came in 1902 against local side Brighton Amateurs. The Seagulls finished runners up to Man United in the 1983 FA Cup despite being relegated to the second tier. In 2024, they made history by appointing Fabian Hurzeler as their manager - he became the youngest (31) head coach in Premier League history.

Brighton have submitted a NEW OFFER for Tottenham defender Luka Vuskovic worth up to £45m! What do you make of that Seagulls fans?

dantowen81951103d ago

If you listen to Bundesliga fans, Vuskovic was an absolute revelation at Hamburg. One of the best CBs in the whole league and such a leader aged just 18. He’s easily the sort of player who could go for £100m in two years

james.brooke107d ago

You can sense the state of the market by how much Brighton are having to pay. Ordinarily they’d have sold JPVH for £50m and replaced him with a £15-20m gem. Just makes me wonder how much the club who buy Vuskovic from them is going to have to pay…

freddie107d ago

Seems a lot for someone fairly unknown! Wasn’t a big fans of his vs England either…

Brighton & Hove Albion’s 2026/27 fixtures are out! Which game excites you the most? 🤔

dantowen81951107d ago

A real mixed bag of a start there. Could easily lose the first two and then win games three and four

Brighton can’t seriously think Van Hecke is worth £70m with one year left on his deal? All that Chelsea money has gone to their heads!

caleb.sage120d ago

You’re paying for what they think he will become I suppose. In a couple of years, they probably feel he’s going to be one of the top ball-playing defenders in the world.

gorriejonathan122d ago

He’s worth whatever Brighton say he is, to be fair

pranav.shahaney122d ago

Given how the market is, you cannot really blame them. Van Hecke was among the best defenders in the Premier League last season. He’s 25, likely to hit his prime in a few years. I understand their POV.

Another fine season just finished for Brighton - but is this as good as it will get ? Is a top 6 finish at all possible - even allowing for the change and turmoil at some of the top clubs ? Hurdles next season must include: the impact of playing in Europe, bigger clubs targeting stars in the summer and their lack of financial clout relative to the big boys.

gorriejonathan122d ago

I think Europe every couple seasons is a dream really, though I think they should be chasing a cup more. Would surely be nice to keep at least one good player away from Chelsea too 🤣

dantowen81951122d ago

Are the teams ahead of them impossible to catch? I don’t think so necessarily. Villa have an ageing spine, City in transition, who knows where Liverpool will be

jamie.brown82122d ago

It’s so sad when teams like Brighton do well and then just have all their best players pinched…
