2025 Fantasy Outlook
Mitoma's third season in Brighton saw him set a bevy of new bests, including 10 goals and 2,608 league minutes played. Even with the bevy of options in the squad, Mitoma seems to have a set role on the left wing to himself, at least when fully fit. Assuming that's the case again, 15 goal contributions are in play, if not more. As always with Mitoma, though, those are likely to come in bursts with plenty of dry spells such as his nearly two-month period without a goal contribution in the middle of last season.
Out to face Palace
Mitoma (ankle) is out for Sunday's match against Crystal Palace.
ANALYSIS
Mitoma is not yet an option and will have to wait another game for his return, missing out once again despite being a late call. This is a rough spell for the attacker as he misses a fifth straight game, hoping to now return after the break following his near miss Sunday.

Late call against Manchester United
Mitoma (ankle) is close to return and is a late call for Saturday's clash against Manchester United, coach Fabian Hurzeler said in the press conference. "They're all close to the team, so maybe one or two of them might be available for tomorrow. They don't have big issues, they don't have anything serious. I can't say that they all will be available, I can't say that they won't be available. We have to see how it goes today and then we have to make a decision."

ANALYSIS
Bayern Munich want to sign Mitoma in the summer to solve their lack of depth on the left side of the attack. However, the Japan international is not ready to leave the Premier League club yet.
