The clean sheet paid down the spine. Verbruggen made three saves, added two bonus and finished on nine points at £4.5m — about 2 in 10 own him. Kadıoğlu, £4.4m and owned by hardly anyone, also hit nine: 90 minutes, clean sheet, a bonus point, and he cleared the extra-defending line with room to spare. Vuskovic did the same for eight. Groß supplied an assist for six and cleared the defending line as well; about 4 in 10 own him.
Two lines matter for the deadline. First, Hadjam scored two minutes after coming on — seven points from a cameo, but no clean-sheet pay because of the short shift. He is owned by nobody and played two minutes. That is not an actionable signal. Second, Struijk was sent off and finished on minus two after 56 minutes. He faces a ban. Owned by almost nobody, so the damage is contained.
For owners of Kostoulas: he blanked. One point in 59 minutes before coming off, £5.6m, owned by about 1 in 10. That is two slots Brighton's forwards failed to fill while the defence banked the points. Dunk also went off on 30 minutes — his owners should check the club's team news before acting.
The pattern in the numbers is plain: Brighton's value this week sat in the back five. Three defenders and the keeper returned six points or more, all priced £5.0m or under. De Cuyper combined the clean sheet with a goal and maximum bonus; that is the profile that pays twice.
The call: buy De Cuyper at £5.0m. Verbruggen at £4.5m is the keeper route to the same clean sheets for anyone short in that slot. Struijk owners — he sits; move him on.
