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.

Kicking myself! Watkins first sub, Cash second sub.
Could really do with two of Saka, Son or Botman to be rested!

This is what De Zerbi gets for farting about rotating his keeper. Take note Arteta. Disrupts the defence far more than most give credit for. Fair chance Estupinan's place is at risk I'd say too, great going forwards but he is a liability at the back

    Not talking about the OG specifically, fact is hes awol most of the time defensively and its an obvious target for the opposition. Wonderful watching Brighton go forwards but they are legit a bottom 5 defence currently

  The quality between Brighton’s and Arsenal’s keepers is significant. Another reason for this first-half trashing is Villa tactically prepared for Brighton’s build-up style, and they’re really struggling in what they normally execute brilliantly.

Looking forward to hitting the WC button later! Had my eye on this week anyway, but taking Watkins out last week wasn't the best decision.

  Brighton is a good team, but they are like jackyll and hyde. Sometimes they play so bad its insane and other times they are not far from the best team in the league.
  But atleast they are managing to beat Liverpools slow starts of games

My lesson this season is to be more aggressive with hits
Didn't bring in Trippier for a hit as had Estu, that's easily would have paid for itself as Trippier likely gets 6+
