It’s been a memorable season so far for Brighton and Hove Albion as they seventh in the Premier League standings and in the mix for European qualification.
Roberto De Zerbi’s men are also through to the semi-final of the FA Cup where next month they will face Manchester United at Wembley Stadium.
De Zerbi’s team are playing with an attacking style that is very easy on the eye with a number of players thriving and playing the best football of their careers. Brighton so far seem to have that healthy mix of established and experienced professionals such as Lewis Dunk, Pascal Gross and Solly March, while the younger talents of Levi Colwill, Moises Caicedo and Evan Ferguson are pushing through. Throw in a World Cup winner in Alexis Mac Allister and the brilliance of Japan attacker Kaoru Mitoma, and it’s easy to see why they are flying so high.
Brighton return to league action after the international break against Brentford on April 1 at the Amex and then travel to Bournemouth on April 4. They also face Tottenham (April 8) and Chelsea (April 15) in the league before their FA Cup semi-final with Man United, which is expected to be on April 23.
It’s set to be a fascinating watch between now and the end of the season but who has performed well and so far who has struggled? Here’s how the Albion players have rated out of 10 so far this season.
