Lineups

Squad Ratings

The overall squad rating for Brighton is 6.83, compared to 6.95 for Fulham.

Attacking Output

The starting XI of Brighton have contributed 3 goals and 3 assists this season, led by J. Veltman (1G). Fulham's starters account for 2 goals and 1 assists, spearheaded by K. Tete (1G).

Defensive Solidity

Brighton deploy 3 defenders rated 6.96 on average, against Fulham's 3-man backline averaging 7.04. Higher defensive ratings suggest better positional awareness, fewer individual errors, and a greater likelihood of keeping clean sheets. The rating accounts for tackles won, interceptions, aerial duels, and blocks throughout the season.

Midfield Control

Brighton field 5 midfielders averaging 6.78, versus Fulham's 4 rated 6.91. Midfield ratings reflect passing accuracy, interceptions, key passes, and overall control of possession — the team that dominates midfield typically dictates the tempo and territory of the match.

Forward Threat

Passing & Build-Up

Passing accuracy averages 86% for Brighton and 88% for Fulham. Higher passing accuracy generally indicates a possession-based style with patient build-up through the thirds, while lower figures may suggest a more direct, counter-attacking approach with long balls and quick transitions.

Discipline

Brighton's starters have collected 17 yellow cards this season, compared to 9 for Fulham. Yellow cards reflect how aggressively a team presses and tackles — a high count may indicate a physical, high-pressing style but also risks suspensions and late free-kicks in dangerous areas.

Age & Experience

The average age of Brighton's starting XI is 33.0 (youngest: S. March (31), oldest: L. Dunk (34)), while Fulham average 29.7 (youngest: J. Andersen (29), oldest: K. Tete (30)). Younger squads typically offer pace, energy, and pressing intensity, while experienced lineups bring composure, game management, and the ability to handle high-pressure moments.

Squad Depth

Brighton's starters average 18 league appearances each, versus 21 for Fulham. High appearance counts indicate an established, well-drilled unit that the manager trusts week in and week out. Lower figures may suggest rotation, injuries, or emerging players still earning their place in the team.
