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 equalizer in victory
Welbeck scored one goal to go with four shots (one on goal) in Saturday's 2-1 win over Brentford.
ANALYSIS
Welbeck missed a big chance early in the second half against the Bees but scored the equalizer in the 71st minute, steering in Yankuba Minteh's excellent low cross to tie the game. His movement repeatedly pulled Brentford's center backs into uncomfortable areas and helped Brighton sustain pressure after the interval. The goal continued his strong run across seven games in which he scored seven goals in total. Welbeck found a season-high four shots against the Bees, raising his impact as a captain game after game this season.

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.
