The Cost of a Starting 11 Against Chelsea
Brighton's starting 11 was worth 52.8 million in terms of their bought value. Adam Webster cost 20 million, which is a big chunk of that 50 million. Levi Colwell on loan from Chelsea would bring it down closer to 30 million. Brighton have this great recruitment strategy where they are able to bring in players and then send them out on loan somewhere or put them back in the team for another season. They do take risks but because they're paying such low fees and then selling players on for big money, that's all absorbed in that cost as well. It's amazing. I feel like we'll look back on this period with great admiration.
