The Scout's panel of Fantasy Premier League experts discuss who are the best Brighton & Hove Albion players to pick ahead of their favourable run of fixtures from Gameweek 10.

Following Brighton's match against Manchester City in Gameweek 9, you must invest in their players thereafter. Only a third of their nine encounters score three or higher in the Fixture Difficulty Ratings (FDR).
There is of course the risk of rotation because of their matches in Europe, but I can see Pervis Estupinan (£5.1m) making a welcome return to my team when he recovers from his injury. With the amount of choice they have in attack, it's difficult to pick a single asset. However, Kaoru Mitoma (£6.6m) is never too far away from my thoughts.
Brighton's fixtures GW10-18
| GW | Opp. | FDR | GW | Opp. | FDR |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 10 | FUL (H) | 2 | 15 | BRE (H) | 3 |
| 11 | EVE (A) | 2 | 16 | BUR (H) | 2 |
| 12 | SHU (H) | 2 | 17 | ARS (A) | 4 |
| 13 | NFO (A) | 2 | 18 | CRY (A) | 2 |
| 14 | CHE (A) | 3 | |||

I'm looking to bring in Mitoma in Gameweek 10, but I'm not sure about the others. I think Estupinan is at risk of being rotated when he's back, and so will the rest of the squad, with qualification from their group in the UEFA Europa League looking precarious.

Mitoma and Estupinan are two players I had at the start of the season, and I feel it is worth bringing in at least one of those two.

We know Brighton are one of the best attacking teams, and given the prices of their players and the fixture run they have from Gameweek 10, I think we have to own one of their midfielders or forwards. I have owned Mitoma since Gameweek 1 and he's going nowhere!

The fixtures for Brighton are great from Gameweek 10, but with a lot of rotation among their forwards and a wide range of midfield options elsewhere, it's possible that I don't invest at all. Roberto De Zerbi is making too many changes for my liking. If I were to add any players though, it would be Mitoma and Estupinan.

The Brighton fixtures are perfect for doubling up from Gameweek 10 onwards. I was planning to hold Estupinan prior to his injury when I hit my Wildcard in Gameweek 8, but have since sold him. I currently have no Brighton assets, and will stay away from their defence until he returns.

Both Mitoma and Evan Ferguson (£6.0m) are on my radar. It is easy to upgrade Cameron Archer (£4.5m) to Ferguson, but much harder to find a spot for Mitoma. Unless I switch my investment from Aston Villa's Moussa Diaby (£6.7m) to Ollie Watkins (£8.2m) and use Diaby's midfield spot for Mitoma.

When Estupinan is fit, he will be the first one to come in. Other options include Pascal Gross (£6.3m) and Lewis Dunk (£5.0m), but Brighton's defence is a bit underwhelming outside of Estupinan.
