Brighton & Hove Albion Vs Leeds United FPL: Who Hauled And What It Means
The call — Brighton 1-1 Leeds: two defenders scored, the template blanked Jayden Bogle scored, took three bonus and a yellow card, and left after 60 minutes. Fourteen points at £4.5m. Fewer than 1 in 100 managers own him. That was the story of Brighton 1-1 Leeds on September 5.
Brighton's goal came from a defender too. Vuskovic played 90 minutes, scored, cleared the extra-defending line and added two bonus. Twelve points at £5.0m, owned by about 2 in 100.
Now the line most readers came for. Calvert-Lewin blanked. One point, 72 minutes, a yellow card, then off. He sits in about 1 in 4 squads at £6.0m. Groß blanked as well — 90 minutes, one point, a yellow, owned by roughly 2 in 10. De Cuyper did better: an assist and four points in 76 minutes, though a yellow card and a substitution before the end cut off any bonus route. Nearly 2 in 10 own him at £4.7m.
No clean sheet for either side. Dunk cleared the extra-defending line and took a bonus point for five. Muharemović, Elvedi and Justin all played 90 minutes for Leeds and took four points each without a shut-out. Tanaka assisted for five at £4.9m, owned by 2 in 1,000.
Substitutions worth noting: Costinha lasted 12 minutes for Brighton. Aaronson came off after 28 for Leeds. Struijk played one minute. Wilson played 17 and picked up a yellow.
What the facts force at the next deadline. Bogle's return is a goal, and goals from £4.5m defenders are not a pattern until they repeat — he was also withdrawn on the hour with a booking. Do not buy on one match. Vuskovic is the same case at £5.0m: one goal, one match, though he did play 90 and post defensive numbers alongside it. Calvert-Lewin owners hold. He started, played 72 minutes, and one blank with a yellow is not a sell. De Cuyper owners hold — the assist is the return his price asks for.
The call: hold Calvert-Lewin, hold De Cuyper, and leave Bogle and Vuskovic alone until they do it twice.
