Fantasy Lessons
| Player | What we learned | Verdict |
|---|---|---|
| De Cuyper | Still the first player to check from this match because role and output line up. | Buy/hold |
| Groß | Useful, but the next fixture decides whether this is a buy or just a hold. | Hold |
| Pedro | Useful, but the next fixture decides whether this is a buy or just a hold. | Hold |
| Villa defence | Needs another data point before becoming a transfer priority. | Watch |
Demon Verdict
Demon scoreline verdict: Brighton 2-0 Aston Villa had the right side, wrong mercy level. The result matters, but your next move should still run through projected points, expected minutes and squad structure.
