Villa v Brighton team news: Mitoma + Estupinan start

30 September 2023 1393 comments

Skonto Rigga

Gameweek 7 of Fantasy Premier League (FPL) gets underway at 12.30pm BST with Aston Villa v Brighton and Hove Albion.

Unai Emery unsurprisingly keeps faith with the same starting XI that won at Chelsea last weekend.

Roberto De Zerbi, in other non-shocking news, has made changes.

There are four alterations in all from the team that started the 3-1 win over Bournemouth last Sunday.

Jason Steele returns in goal, while Solly March, Kaoru Mitoma and teenager Jack Hinshelwood are also promoted to the side.

Bart Verbruggen, Mahmoud Dahoud, Facundo Buonanotte and Simon Adingra make way.

Ansu Fati and Joao Pedro are again benched.

GAMEWEEK 7 LINE-UPS

Aston Villa XI: Martinez, Cash, Konsa, Torres, Digne, Kamara, Douglas Luiz, McGinn, Diaby, Zaniolo, Watkins.

Substitutes: Carlos, Tielemans, Traore, Chambers, Lenglet, Duran, Olsen, Dendoncker, Ramsey.

Brighton XI: Steele, Veltman, Webster, Dunk, Estupinan, Hinshelwood, Gilmour, March, Welbeck, Mitoma, Ferguson.

Substitutes: Verbruggen, Lamptey, Igor, Dahoud, Joao Pedro, Baleba, Adingra, van Hecke, Fati.

Arteta
2 years, 2 months ago
I really don't get it. We shouldn't rely on Saka to beat Bournemouth in 2023, especially after our recent transfer activity. What is the whole point of having a 25-man squad if some players may never get the chance?

It's such an unnecessary risk because Bukayo definitely isn't at 100% today. If he limps off today, Arteta's haters will be louder than ever, and they will be right this time.

Have a question. I transferred out 8 players thinking I am playing a WC and confirmed the transfers. Didn't hit the WC button then, Will hitting the WC now after making a few changes cancel all the hits I would have possibly taken?

I have 3.6m itb and a front 8 of

Son Maddison Diaby Foden Bowen
Haaland Alvarez Archer.

Longer term, would you upgrade Son to Salah, or Archer to Jesus/Watkins/Darwin?

I'm happy to have the inevitable benching headache if I go for option 2
