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.

People were saying that Botman was fine, I was not sure so I got Schar to go with Trippier, sometimes caution pays off.

Need Saka out today for that Cash auto sub.

Have been pretty devoid of luck this season, need something to make up for Estu’s atrocity this week already…

  Not expecting any of Saka, Trossard or Martinelli in the 20.
  
  Rice probably not either. Saliba possibly

Planned to do Jackson to Watkins next week (which is obviously still happening barring injuries).
Did think about the hit this week but decided against it, cest la vie

  Was planning to get him last week, but instead came on here and listened to everyone saying Alvarez was essential. The sheer amount of extra points I’d have if I never used Fantasy Football Scout.

Botman out surely means lots are gaining Estupinian from the bench.
We just need a few more injury confirmations to get them out from behind the sofa.

      Not certain. He was injured in midweek.
      
      He will probably start but wouldn't be surprised if he is off around the hour

    Not even that didnt want to burn a FT and wanted Bowen but couldnt afford him outright so had to downgrade somewhere. Unfortunately he was the wrong one to downgrade

  No they won't. I have started Trippier unlike last week.
  
  So, Newcastle do win, but they concede one goal and Trippier doesn't get any assists this week. He gets two points.

Would you get Pau 4.5m or Digne 4.6m?

I guess Pau is safer with Moreno back?

12 signings made this season, including a GW4 WC. It's about 38 games played cumulatively between them since I signed them.

Not one single goal, assist or clean sheet between them. I haven't even got a 3.

The top scores are about 14 different '2's.
