Has solid season despite absences Bissouma scored one goal, provided two assists and made 76 tackles, 47 clearances and 50 interceptions over 26 appearances (25 starts) during the past season.

Impact Bissouma missed several matches due to suspensions, knee injuries and serving his national team at AFCON, but played amazingly when available, being among the top 10 EPL players in both tackles per game and interceptions per game. We shouldn't expect many contributions from him on the offensive end, but Bissouma's combination of tenacity and strength in the middle of the park will probably make him a great fantasy perform once again next season.

Records assist Bissouma logged one assist during a 1-1 draw Sunday against Leeds United.

Impact Danny Welbeck made the most of a Bissouma through ball. The latter logged his second 2021-22 Premier League assist. Because the midfielder does not regularly log assists, Bissouma's fantasy managers should be satisfied that he recorded multiple at all.

Scores goal against Wolves Bissouma scored a goal and won two of three tackles in Saturday's 3-0 victory against Wolverhampton. He also made a clearance and an interception in the match.

Impact Bissouma added the icing on the cake late in Saturday's win after returning from a two-game suspension. He has scored exactly one goal in each of his last two seasons, and now he's on track to finish with the same tally in 2021/22. Next weekend he will face Manchester United, which are sixth in the Premier League table.

Eligible to return Saturday Bissouma has served his two-match ban for accumulation and will be eligible to play versus Wolverhampton on Saturday.

Impact Bissouma has started seven of the club's last nine outings prior to his ban. In those appearances, the midfielder registered six shots (zero on target), two crosses (zero accurate) and 20 interceptions. Given his limited offensive upside, Bissouma is unlikely to offer more than mid-range fantasy value moving forward.

Picks up 10th yellow card in win Bissouma had three tackles (two won) and four interceptions to go with his 10th yellow card of the season in Saturday's 1-0 win against Tottenham. He'll be suspended for Wednesday'...

Impact Bissouma was a rock in the midfield Saturday and will be missed having started seven of the last nine matches. It's possible Brighton use the same formation that won them the game against Tottenham, though they'll have to replace Bissouma. His absence could mean a return of Danny Welbeck, who would then push Enock Mwepu to the midfield.

Dealing with knee issue Bissouma stayed on the bench last match because of a nagging knee issue, according to manager Graham Potter. "He has had a little issue with his knee but nothing major, which we ha...

Impact Bissouma should be back in the XI Saturday against Liverpool but on a short week, he probably won't be pushed the following midweek contest. Brighton have struggled a bit and need to find consistency, which starts in the midfield where Bissouma has four chances and two chances created in his last three starts.

MARCH 11, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Takes two shots against Villa Bissouma took two shots and created a chance in Saturday's 2-0 defeat against Aston Villa. He also made two clearances and an interception in the match.

Impact Bissouma had a decent game on both sides of the ball Saturday, but it wasn't enough to lead his team to a result against Villa. Brighton have now lost three games in a row, and he will want to end that slide next weekend against a hot Newcastle team that is unbeaten in 2022 in the Premier League so far.

FEBRUARY 26, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Busy defensively Bissouma made four tackles and six interceptions as well as three clearances during Tuesday's 2-0 loss to Manchester United.

Impact Bissouma had a bunch of defensive volume, with Brighton going down to 10 men, and leaving a plethora of defensive chances for Bissouma to clean up. Unfortunately for fantasy managers Bissouma tends to offer no offensive upside and often has little-to-no fantasy relevance. He will be a fringe play against Burnley next time out.

FEBRUARY 15, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Training with Brighton Bissouma is back from AFCON and training with Brighton, according to manager Graham Potter.

Impact Bissouma will return to the squad for the FA Cup this weekend and then he'll be available for the next league match which is Feb. 12. He missed the prior three league matches because of AFCON but figures to get his spot back in the starting XI going forward.

Away for AFCON Bissouma has joined Mali for the upcoming African Cup of Nations and will miss the next two league matches for Brighton.

Impact Bissouma has been a constant in the XI when healthy, starting nine of the last 10 matches for Brighton. His absence will be felt, but players like Jakub Moder and Enock Mwepu should be able to fill in capably for what may only be two matches.

JANUARY 5, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Wins six tackles versus Everton Bissouma had two shots (off target), two dribbles, three aerials won, seven tackles (six won) and two interceptions in Sunday's 3-2 win over Everton.

Impact Bissouma delivered an outstanding all around performance with impressive numbers in multiple categories on both sides of the ball. The holding midfielder has merely one assist with no goals all season but he certainly brings a solid production in formats with peripheral stats. He's made seven tackles in back to back matches and three times in last seven affairs.

Picks up fifth yellow card Bissouma conceded his fifth yellow card during Wednesday's 1-0 loss to Wolves and as a result will be suspended for Saturday's trip to Manchester United.

Impact Bissouma has earned plenty of plaudits for his defensive play but his 20 tackles made in the last seven matches have also been accompanied by four yellow cards. Enock Mwepu and Jakub Moder are two options to fill Bissouma's spot in defensive midfield during his absence.

DECEMBER 16, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Makes seven tackles in loss Bissouma made seven tackles (six won), one clearance and one interception during Saturday's 2-0 loss against Aston Villa.

Impact Bissouma bossed the middle of the park, winning six of his seven tackles and helping the defensive line holding the opposition scoreless for most of the match until two late goals made that all his efforts were in vain. With 12 tackles (10 won) over his last two starts, Bissouma will try to help his side getting back on track during next Saturday's home match against Leeds.

Ready to return against Norwich Bissouma (knee) is slated to rejoin the match-day squad versus Norwich City on Saturday. Manager Graham Potter told reporters, "Enock Mwepu (groin), Adam Webster (hamstring) and Y...

Impact Bissouma is poised to return following his two-game stint on the sidelines due to his knee problem. Slotted into a midfielder role, Bissouma has recorded just three shots (zero on target) but has racked up plenty of tackles (16), interceptions (12) and clearances (five).

OCTOBER 14, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Expected back after break Bissouma (knee) is hopeful to recover over the break and be an option for the trip to Norwich in two weeks, according to manager Graham Potter.

Impact Bissouma has missed the last two league matches, but a couple weeks of training and rest should help him get back to full strength. Brighton have drawn both matches without Bissouma in the midfield after recording back-to-back wins against Leicester and Brentford.

Late test for Arsenal Bissouma (knee) is "making progress" and will be a late test for Saturday's match against Arsenal, according to manager Graham Potter.

Impact It's hard to see Bissouma playing Saturday, given that there's about 48 hours until the match and Potter said that a decision will be made "later in the week." If he's still dealing with the issue, it makes sense for him to wait until the break, allowing Pascal Gross to start centrally again.

Out against Palace Bissouma (knee) is not in the squad for Monday's match against Crystal Palace.

Impact Bissouma misses out Monday after injuring his knee last match. While the issue isn't serious, it's forced him out at least one match, somewhat changing the dynamic of Brighton's midfield. Fortunately, Pascal Gross is available again and in the starting XI.

Could be late test for Monday Bissouma (knee) is hopeful to train on Saturday ahead of Monday's trip to Crystal Palace, according to manager Graham Potter.

Impact It looks like Bissouma is in a race to be fit for Monday's match and if he doesn't train Saturday, he could miss the game. Fortunately for Brighton, Pascal Gross is available again and he could slot into that central midfield role, especially since Enock Mwepu also has an issue of his own.

SEPTEMBER 23, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Hopeful to train by end of week Bissouma (knee) is hopeful to train by the end of the week and be an option for Monday's trip to Crystal Palace, according to manager Graham Potter.

Impact Bissouma hyperextended his knee over the weekend and will get a couple days of rest before taking the pitch again. As there's no structural damage, he should be good for Monday, but nothing is guaranteed at this point, only that he'll be rested for the midweek Cup match.
