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.

What's the highest single GW score for a player ever?

I remember Aguero with 25 against Newcastle. Is that the highest?

  My worst was a hazard to Sanchez trade. Hazard got his two biggest FPL gw scores ever and Alexis got Nada. Factoring in captaincy it cost me close to 100 points in two weeks.
  
  It wasn't even a mistake. Alexis was the better pick over the rest of season and in better form with better fixtures. It's just the way the cookie crumbles

Felt he got bit of stick earlier seeing he kept ticking alone nicely+ villa's fixtures coming up.
Was always a good player to hold on too imo.

  I put him 1st on the bench but it was a very shrewd move as had a feeling Botman wouldn’t start and was playing 4-4-2 so knew Watkins would come in of he missed out.
