BrightonFour saves in win
Verbruggen registered four saves and allowed one goal in Saturday's 2-1 win against Liverpool.
Analysis: Verbruggen stopped four of the five shots he faced during Saturday's win. The goalkeeper was excellent as he shut down wave after wave of Liverpool attacks. He did well to earn the win, and made some top-class saves to deny the Reds. Verbruggen has only allowed three goals in the last five matches.
Three saves in clean sheet win
Verbruggen recorded three saves and allowed zero goals in Saturday's 1-0 win over Sunderland.
Analysis: Verbruggen kept his seventh clean sheet win as he made three saves as his side won 1-0 against Sunderland. The keeper also kept a clean sheet in the other game this season against Sunderland. His last two clean sheets have come away from home to make it three clean sheets at home and four clean sheets away from home.
Concedes game's only goal
Verbruggen had one save and allowed one goal in Wednesday's 1-0 defeat to Arsenal.
Analysis: Verbruggen didn't stop much but also didn't have much to stop, as Arsenal's attack was largely muted outside of the lone goal. The goalkeeper is likely to have a similar outing agains a Sunderland side which is average about one goal per game on the season in EPL play.
Three saves in 2-1 win
Verbruggen made three saves and allowed one goal in Sunday's 2-1 victory versus Nottingham Forest.
Analysis: Verbruggen made three saves as his side held on to a 2-1 victory against Nottingham Forest. He has made at least two saves in each of the last six matches, but has only kept one clean sheet in that time. He has kept six clean sheets in total this season. He has made three or more saves on 14 occasions this season, keeping three of his six clean sheets in these games.
Secures clean sheet
Verbruggen made four saves and allowed zero goals in Saturday's 2-0 victory against Brentford.
Analysis: Verbruggen made four saves to secure a clean sheet in Saturday's win over Brentford, ending a six-match run without one. The goalkeeper has recorded 14 saves while conceding five goals and keeping one clean sheet across his last five appearances. He will look to build on the result in Sunday's matchup against Nottingham Forest.
Two saves in defeat
Verbruggen had two saves and allowed one goal in Wednesday's 1-0 loss to Aston Villa.
Analysis: Verbruggen turned aside two Aston Villa shots on target Wednesday but was undone by an own goal as Brighton suffered a 1-0 road defeat. Across his last five starting appearances, the veteran keeper has made 11 saves and four clearances while conceding six goals. Verbruggen's next challenge is likely to come Saturday when Brighton travel to Anfield for a showdown with Liverpool.
Concedes lone goal
Verbruggen recorded three saves and allowed one goal in Sunday's 1-0 loss to Crystal Palace.
Analysis: Verbruggen had a decent outing but ultimately did let in the game's only goal to cost Brighton a point. He's got a tough matchup looming against Aston Villa, a team which has scored 36 goals in 25 EPL games.
Concedes late goal
Verbruggen recorded three saves and allowed one goal in Saturday's 1-1 draw versus Everton.
Analysis: Verbruggen warded off multiple Everton attempts and even kept out Jake O'Brien's 97th minute attempt, but parried it straight into Beto's path. Verbruggen has now accumulated nine saves and five clearances across the last four games, but committed an error and also given away a penalty in that span.
Beaten twice Saturday
Verbruggen made two saves and allowed two goals in Saturday's 2-1 loss against Fulham.
Analysis: Even though Verbruggen has produced solid displays between the posts for the Seagulls, he's struggled to get things going at times and has gone three straight games without a clean sheet. He has allowed multiple goals in five of his last 10 outings, so his fantasy upside is not very high and mostly matchup-based right now.
One save but concedes from the spot
Verbruggen made one save and allowed one goal in Monday's 1-1 draw against AFC Bournemouth.
Analysis: Verbruggen made one save but was unable to prevent the Bournemouth goal, which came from the penalty spot. The keeper conceded the penalty when he was beaten to the ball by Amine Adli. He managed to keep a clean sheet in his last home game against Burnley.
Concedes one against City
Verbruggen had three saves and allowed one goal in Wednesday's 1-1 draw versus Manchester City.
Analysis: Verbruggen would handle a tough City team quite well Wednesday, blocking three shots and only allowing one from the penalty spot, bailed out on a few occasions by poor attempts. This comes after he earned a clean sheet last time out, still with five this season. He face Bournemouth in their next league contest on Jan. 19, allowing two goals the first time facing the club this season.
Two saves in home clean sheet
Verbruggen made two saves and allowed zero goals in Saturday's 2-0 victory over Burnley.
Analysis: Verbruggen kept his fifth clean sheet of the season as he helped Brighton to a 2-0 win over Burnley. He has made at least two saves in every game since gameweek three this season. Each of his home clean sheets have come against the three newly promoted sides.
Two saves in draw
Verbruggen recorded two saves and allowed two goals in Tuesday's 2-2 draw against West Ham United.
Analysis: Verbruggen recorded a minimum of two saves for a 17th consecutive outing. On the other hand, this marked the third time in four games that he conceded two goals. Up next for Brighton and Hove Albion is a meeting with Burnley on Saturday.
Concedes twice in loss
Verbruggen registered five saves and allowed two goals in Saturday's 2-1 loss versus Arsenal. In addition, he was given a yellow card in the 46th minute.
Analysis: It's hard to blame Verbruggen too much on the own goal, and he did make five saves for his side. He should have better numbers against West Ham on Tuesday, as the side has only scored 19 goals in 18 EPL matches.
Six saves in 0-0 draw
Verbruggen recorded six saves and allowed zero goals in Saturday's 0-0 draw against Sunderland.
Analysis: Verbruggen kept his fourth clean. sheet of the season, all of which have come since the start of November. He made six saves, his joint-most in any game this season. His saves were crucial in securing his side an important point in the league table.
Beaten twice
Verbruggen had two saves and allowed two goals in Saturday's 2-0 defeat to Liverpool.
Analysis: Verbruggen faced four shots Saturday and was only able to stop a pair of them. On a day where the team in front of him offered nothing in terms of goal support it's hard to put the blame on Verbruggen. He would have wanted the first goal back, but the second was an unstoppable header from close range that Verbruggen had no hope of getting to.
Concedes once Sunday
Verbruggen recorded four saves and allowed one goal in Sunday's 1-1 draw versus West Ham United.
Analysis: Verbruggen conceded one goal Sunday, the third time in his last four matches he conceded at least once. He also made four saves for just the third time this season, two of which have come in his last two starts. He faces a difficult matchup Saturday at Liverpool, a side which has scored 24 goals through 25 matches this season.
Six saves in defeat
Verbruggen registered six saves and allowed four goals in Wednesday's 4-3 loss versus Aston Villa. In addition, he was given a yellow card in the 54th minute.
Analysis: Verbruggen conceded four in a chaotic game against Aston Villa on Wednesday, yet still made six saves, a season high across all competitions, including a strong push-away from a dangerous Villa cross early in the second half. His best stop came in the 78th minute when he reacted sharply to parry Evann Guessand's header, only to see Donyell Malen score from the rebound. He also dealt with a series of inswinging corners under heavy traffic as Villa ramped up set-piece pressure. Verbruggen stopped a series of decent games as he conceded only one goal and secured three clean sheets in the four games before this one. The goalie will look to show a better figure against West Ham United on Sunday.
Keeps clean sheet Sunday
Verbruggen made three saves and allowed zero goals in Sunday's 2-0 victory against Nottingham Forest.
Analysis: Verbruggen kept a composed clean sheet as Brighton absorbed Forest's late pressure. His standout moment came after the hour mark when he stayed big and blocked Igor Jesus' low one-on-one effort. He handled crosses reliably and managed the tempo with calm distribution when Brighton dropped deeper. This shutout was his third in the last four games, highlighting the good form of the Seagulls. He will look to find a new one against Aston Villa on Wednesday.
Saves penalty to secure win
Verbruggen registered three saves and allowed one goal in Saturday's 2-1 win over Brentford. In addition, he was given a yellow card in the 94th minute.
Analysis: Verbruggen was sent the wrong way by Igor Thiago's first-half penalty and had relatively little to do outside two routine stops. The match turned in his favour at the death when he waited out Igor Thiago's run-up and got down sharply to save the stoppage-time penalty that allowed the Seagulls to secure the win. That intervention preserved Brighton's comeback and elevated a solid outing into a match-defining one. Verbruggen will hope to build on that performance against Nottingham Forest on Sunday.
