Bart Verbruggen
23-Year-Old
Brighton & Hove Albion
Premier
2025 Fantasy Outlook
Verbruggen was passable in his first season as the full-time Brighton starter. He kept seven clean sheets and allowed 58 goals behind a defensive unit that frequently changed shape due to injuries. He started all but two Premier League matches, both of which came early in the season when injured, and is the undisputed No. 1 goalkeeper for manager Fabian Hurzeler. Verbruggen will hope for double-digit clean sheets in 2025/26, something that should be attainable given a second year under Hurzeler and what expects to be a deeper, healthier Brighton squad.
Three saves in draw
Verbruggen had three saves and allowed one goal, but also 1 an own goal in Sunday's 1-1 draw against Wolverhampton.
ANALYSIS
Verbruggen turned aside three shots and recorded an own goal Sunday as Brighton earned a share of the points in their 1-1 draw versus Wolves. The Brighton keeper was saddled with an unlucky own goal as a Wolves' shot rattled the crossbar before ricocheting off an out-stretched Verbruggen's back and into the net. Look for Verbruggen to retain his place in the starting XI on Oct. 18 when Brighton resume league play versus Newcastle.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Option for AC Milan
Verbruggen is one of the options AC Milan are considering to replace Mike Maignan, according to Calciomercato.
ANALYSIS
AC Milan need to sign a goalkeeper in the summer in case Maignan leaves the club, and with the Frenchman likely to join Chelsea, the Rossoneri are extremely active looking for the best potential replacement. Verbruggen would be an excellent signing, but the Dutchman isn't likely to leave Brighton unless Milan overpay for his services, and that's not expected to happen.
