Brighton & Hove Albion FC: Standings, Players & Results 2024/25

If you’ve followed Brighton & Hove Albion over the last few seasons, you’ve seen a club that refuses to sit still – the 2024/25 Premier League campaign saw the Seagulls finish 8th with 61 points, their highest top-flight points total since returning to the Premier League (Premier League official table). This guide brings together the standings, key players, women’s team updates, latest news, and recent results.

League: Premier League · Stadium: American Express Community Stadium · Capacity: 31,800 · Manager: Fabian Hürzeler · Founded: 1901

Eight data points, one pattern: Brighton’s consistency in the top half of the table.

The implication: Brighton’s attack outscored their defence by a full +7 goal difference, but still finished 8th — a sign of how tight the mid-table race was.

Who Are the Key Players for Brighton & Hove Albion?

Top goal scorers this season

• João Pedro – 10 goals in all competitions (estimated from media reports, ESPN squad data)
• Kaoru Mitoma – 7 goals, key winger (ESPN)
• Danny Welbeck – 6 goals (PL Football)

Injuries and transfers

• Key summer 2024 signing: Matt O’Riley (£25m from Celtic) (Sky Sports)
• Outgoings: Pascal Gross left for Borussia Dortmund (Sky Sports)
• Current injury list: Solly March (knee, out since 2023), possible return early 2025/26 (Official club)

The trade-off: selling experienced stars while banking on young talent is Brighton’s model — but it leaves the squad thin during injury crises.

The pattern: Brighton’s recruitment focuses on high-upside signings, and Pedro’s output validates that approach.
