Danny Welbeck
35-Year-Old
Brighton & Hove Albion
Premier
2025 Fantasy Outlook
Welbeck showed no signs of slowing. From 30 appearances (24 starts), he scored 10 (a team-best) and created four assists, a big improvement over the five goals he netted in 2023/24. Despite such a strong campaign it's likely his role dwindles as only injuries saw him take on such a large workload. He's not getting any younger and at the very least Brighton will want to spread out the striking workload. Welbeck is likely to hang out anywhere from 1,200-1,800 minutes and a handful of goals, it would be a surprise if he pushes for double-digits once more.
Scores tap-in off bench
Welbeck scored one goal to go with one shot (one on goal) in Tuesday's 3-0 win versus Chelsea.
ANALYSIS
Welbeck came off the bench in the 83rd minute and struck in stoppage time to put the finishing touch on Brighton's 3-0 win, calmly tapping in Maxim De Cuyper's assist from close range for his 13th Premier League goal of the season and pushing his career-best mark up by three. He's now up to three goals in his last four Premier League appearances, continuing to deliver real impact for the Seagulls even at 35 years old.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Old Trafford return denied
Manchester United wanted to sign Welbeck, but the board denied the move before the end of the transfer window, according to The Athletic.
ANALYSIS
It was none other than co-owner Sir Jim Ratcliffe who denied the move for the 35-year-old former England forward. Rasmus Hojlund left Old Trafford to join Napoli, meaning that Manchester United only have Benjamin Sesko and Joshua Zirkzee as striker options for the first half of the 2025/26 season. Welbeck, in the meantime, will continue alternative upfront for Brighton.
