Kaoru Mitoma
28-Year-Old
Brighton & Hove Albion
Premier
2025 Fantasy Outlook
Mitoma's third season in Brighton saw him set a bevy of new bests, including 10 goals and 2,608 league minutes played. Even with the bevy of options in the squad, Mitoma seems to have a set role on the left wing to himself, at least when fully fit. Assuming that's the case again, 15 goal contributions are in play, if not more. As always with Mitoma, though, those are likely to come in bursts with plenty of dry spells such as his nearly two-month period without a goal contribution in the middle of last season.
Nets equalizer
Mitoma scored one goal to go with two shots (one on goal) and one chance created in Wednesday's 1-1 draw versus Manchester City. In addition, he was given a yellow card in the 69th minute.
ANALYSIS
Mitoma would be the hero of Wednesday's match for Brighton after a goal would earn the club a point, finding the back of the net in the 60th minute. This marks his first goal since returning from injury and his first goal contribution in some time, with his last coming Sept. 13. He should maintain the starting role now that he is fit, with two goals and one assist in 11 appearances (eight starts) this season.
