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.
Concedes two in loss to Cherries
Verbruggen recorded three saves and allowed two goals in Saturday's 2-1 defeat versus AFC Bournemouth.
ANALYSIS
Verbruggen endured a tough outing in Saturday's 2-1 loss at Bournemouth, conceding twice (including a penalty) while making three saves. The Dutchman remains without a clean sheet through four league starts this season, but his performance has not been helped by the weak defensive line in front of him. It is unlikely he will post his first shutout in the Seagull's next against Tottenham; Spurs have won three of their opening four matches and netted eight goals.

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.
