Danny Welbeck — FPL stats
Brighton · forward · £6.3m · owned by 8.4% of managers
What Welbeck's numbers actually say
He scored 13 goals from chances worth about 12.4 last season — near enough what the chances were worth, so there is nothing here waiting to correct in either direction.
26 starts in 38 gameweeks (2,249 minutes), with 25 appearances of an hour or more. He is in the side more often than not, but not the sort of pick you can leave alone all season.
Against the other forwards
Ranked among the forwards with enough football behind them to compare fairly — the same 900-minute bar that decides who gets a page here.
Gameweek by gameweek
126 points across 38 gameweeks: 3 scores of ten or more, 11 weeks with a goal or an assist, and 26 weeks of two points or fewer. His best was 13 points at home to NEW in gameweek 8.
One bar per gameweek. Green is a ten-plus haul, purple is a six-plus return, grey is a quiet week.

Home and away
No meaningful home-or-away effect — he scored at much the same rate in both.
The fixtures ahead
Coloured by official FPL fixture difficulty — green is kind, red is not. The full grid for every club is on fixture difficulty.
What Bawler projects
The model does not carry a rated projection for Welbeck right now — not enough recent football for the estimate to be worth more than the position average, and publishing one anyway would be pretending to know something. His actual record above is real either way.
Price
He started 2025/26 at £6.5m, peaked at £6.6m and finished at £6.3m — a move of −0.2m. FPL prices follow transfers in and out, so this is a record of what the game as a whole made of him. Tonight's risers and fallers are on price changes.
Also at Brighton
Every figure on this page is computed from the Official FPL API's per-gameweek histories for Welbeck — the same rows the game scores — and the totals are checked against FPL's own published season aggregates on every build. Expected goals, expected assists and expected goals conceded are FPL's published values. The full sortable database is on player stats.
FPL is a free fantasy game — this is points analytics, not betting advice.
