Brighton’s Ayari Shines with Spectacular Play in FPL Gameweek 24
Brighton’s Yasin Ayari made headlines in FPL Gameweek 24 with a stunning performance against Fulham. The midfielder scored a powerful goal just inside the box, contributing to his growing reputation as a key player for Brighton.
Ayari’s Impact on Brighton’s Campaign
Under manager Fabian Hurzeler, Ayari has become a vital component in Brighton’s midfield. In his last five appearances, he has registered two goals and two assists. This marks a significant increase in his offensive contributions after critics pointed out that he was lacking in goal involvement.
His goal at Craven Cottage opened the scoring in a match that ended agonizingly for Brighton. Just moments after Ayari’s strike, Fulham leveled the score with a late free kick from Harry Wilson, resulting in a poignant 2-1 defeat for the Seagulls.

The Road Ahead for FPL Managers
Ayari’s recent performances make him an enticing option for Fantasy Premier League (FPL) managers looking for affordable midfielders. With his current price at £4.8 million, he is likely to catch the eye of those activating their Wildcards this week.
As of now, Ayari has recorded the most shots (39) without a big chance in FPL history. This statistic indicates that he is poised for even more significant returns as the season progresses.
Upcoming FPL Trends
Following the chaotic Gameweek 23, many managers will be adjusting their strategies. Notable absences from big-name players complicate matters. Bruno Fernandes of Manchester United, a popular choice recently, has seen a spike in transfers in as fantasy managers reassess their lineups.
Looking ahead, teams face fluctuating challenges, with Chelsea’s upcoming fixtures against West Ham and Wolves drawing attention.
As the FPL season continues, Brighton and Ayari’s performances will remain crucial for both fans and fantasy managers alike. The unique blend of skill and affordability makes Ayari a standout prospect in the budget midfielder category.
