Ahead of the new season in Fantasy Premier League<\/a>, The Scout looks at players who could have a major impact on their team and the role they could play.<\/p>\n

Jack Hinshelwood’s impressive finish to the last campaign for Brighton & Hove Albion<\/a> suggests he can have a bigger say in 2026\/27 Fantasy.<\/p>\n

Hinshelwood had struggled to secure a regular role in the opening two-thirds of 2025\/26, starting only seven of the Seagulls’ first 25 matches and producing just one goal and two assists.<\/p>\n

However, Hinshelwood then went on to start all of Brighton’s remaining 13 fixtures. Playing in a No 10 role, he showcased his all-round potential by scoring three goals and supplying a further three.<\/p>\n

Brighton’s relatively kind early schedule boosts the prospects of their key attackers for managers’ opening squads in 2026\/27 Fantasy.<\/p>\n

Fabian Hurzeler’s side will face only two of last season’s top six teams in the opening seven Gameweeks,\u00a0and both those matches are at home – they face Aston Villa<\/a> in Gameweek 1 and Arsenal<\/a> in Gameweek 5.<\/p>\n

As the table below shows, Brighton face promoted Coventry City<\/a>, as well as two of last season’s promoted clubs, Leeds United<\/a> and Sunderland<\/a>, over this spell.\u00a0<\/p>\n

That run is also reflected by the Fixture Difficulty Ratings<\/a> (FDR), with just two of Brighton’s first seven matches scoring more than three.\u00a0<\/p>\n

An assessment of the underlying statistics looks even more encouraging for Hinshelwood’s chances of getting more goals this season.<\/p>\n

Across Gameweeks 26-38, he was Brighton’s No 1 player for shots, shots in the box and big chances, which are situations where a player is expected to score.<\/p>\n

He also created 12 chances in those 13 outings, a total bettered by just three team-mates.\u00a0<\/p>\n

In fact, Hinshelwood’s goal threat compared favourably with the very best among all midfielders in Fantasy in that period.<\/p>\n

His 28 shots ranked fifth, while his 23 shots in the box were bettered by only two players in that position in Fantasy – Nottingham Forest<\/a>‘s Morgan Gibbs-White and Liverpool<\/a>‘s Cody Gakpo, who had 26 and 24 respectively.<\/p>\n

He also placed joint-third for big chances alongside Brentford<\/a>‘s Kevin Schade, with his total of eight putting him just behind the nine of Gibbs-White and Crystal Palace<\/a>‘s Ismaila Sarr.<\/p>\n

Having ultimately finished last season on only 91 points, Hinshelwood is likely to remain in the budget budget bracket for 2026\/27, with a cost of no more than \u00a36.0m expected.<\/p>\n

If he can profit from his kind early fixture schedule, the midfielder could provide great value in your opening squad.<\/p>\n
