The 2020-21 Premier League run is Brighton & Hove Albion’s fourth consecutive season and it also finally ended their 34-year absence from the top-flight in 2017. While it was great news for the fans and the city, they have consistently been sitting in the lower half of the league’s standings.
Out of their 145 matches, including their most recent goalless draw with Everton on April 13, they accrued 34 wins and 63 losses. Regardless, they are still one of the best English clubs apropos of players and individual performances.

Top scorers
In April 2020, an NBC Sports article ranked Neal Maupay as a C-Grade player. A year has passed, and the 24-year-old forward furthered his performance in becoming the team’s top goalscorer.
He scored eight goals in the league. Meanwhile, the second-ranking goes to Lewis Dunk, Leandro Trossard, and Danny Welbeck, who all made half of Maupay’s points.
The frisson of each game wouldn’t be possible without the players’ shots on target. Maupay still leads this bracket with a total of 63 shots. Trossard followed him with 49 shots, then Yves Bissouma and Dunk with 29, Welbeck and Pascal Groß with 27.
Most assists
Groß garnered the most number of assists, having a total of six. Trossard ranks second again with his five, then followed by Maupay’s two.
Highest number of passes
The team’s captain, Dunk, made the highest number of passes with 1,863. Ben White followed him with 1,484, Bissouma with 1,374, and vice-captain Adam Webster with 1,360.
Brighton’s top 3 players
Let’s dig deeper into Brighton’s top three players’ profile background.
1. About Lewis Dunk
English defender Dunk has captained Brighton’s club since 2010. He is a long-time player of the Seagulls, making more than 300 appearances since his first-team debut in the 2009-10 season at MK Dons. The only time he played for another team was his brief loan spell at Bristol City F.C.
2. About Neal Maupay
French forward Maupay joined the Seagulls in August 2019, signing a four-year deal worth £20 million. He began his career in the Cote D’Azur with Nice — an impressive debut at the age of 16.
Before Brighton, he played for Championship club Brentford from 2017 to 2019, where he won the 2018/19 EFL Player of the Year at the London Football Awards.
3. About Leandro Trossard
Belgian forward Trossard was Brighton’s second signing during the 2019 summer transfer window. On the other side, Brighton is his first English football club.
Back home, he was one of the major key players in KRC Genk, where he was loaned to Lommel United, Westerlo, and OH Leuven. All the while in his four-year deal with the Seagulls, the 26-year-old is also currently playing for the Belgian national team.
Who is yours?
Welbeck, Bissouma, and Webster, to name a few, are also as talented as the ones mentioned above. Whether a Seagulls fan or an ardent punter who has tried Bitcoin betting on sports, stay updated with the club’s future games to see if their three players keep their top spots.
