It’s been a memorable season so far for Brighton and Hove Albion as they seventh in the Premier League standings and in the mix for European qualification.
Roberto De Zerbi’s men are also through to the semi-final of the FA Cup where next month they will face Manchester United at Wembley Stadium.
De Zerbi’s team are playing with an attacking style that is very easy on the eye with a number of players thriving and playing the best football of their careers. Brighton so far seem to have that healthy mix of established and experienced professionals such as Lewis Dunk, Pascal Gross and Solly March, while the younger talents of Levi Colwill, Moises Caicedo and Evan Ferguson are pushing through. Throw in a World Cup winner in Alexis Mac Allister and the brilliance of Japan attacker Kaoru Mitoma, and it’s easy to see why they are flying so high.
Brighton return to league action after the international break against Brentford on April 1 at the Amex and then travel to Bournemouth on April 4. They also face Tottenham (April 8) and Chelsea (April 15) in the league before their FA Cup semi-final with Man United, which is expected to be on April 23.
It’s set to be a fascinating watch between now and the end of the season but who has performed well and so far who has struggled? Here’s how the Albion players have rated out of 10 so far this season.

17. Jeremy Sarmiento 6-10
Used mainly as an impact substitute and always seems to contribute well when he comes on. The Ecuador man will be keen for more minutes but overall he's progressing well under De Zerbi. Photo: Mike Hewitt

18. Adam Lallana 5-10
Deliver flashes of brilliance but injuries continue to hold him back. Currently out with a thigh injury and hoping to be back towards the end of the season. Remains a key man on the pitch when fit. Photo: Alex Pantling

19. Kaoru Mitoma 9-10
My word. What a season this guy has had. Goals, assists and contributes defensively as well. Always seems to pick the right pass and ruthlessly efficient in the final third. Love watching him play. Photo: Mike Hewitt

20. Julio Enciso 6-10
Gaining experience and minutes and has shown glimpses of his potential. Needs time to adapt physically to the PL but an attack minded player with huge potential. Photo: ADRIAN DENNIS
