James Milner
39-Year-Old
Brighton & Hove Albion
Premier
Muted performance in first start
Milner had two crosses (one accurate) and two corners in Saturday's 2-1 defeat against AFC Bournemouth. In addition, he was given a yellow card in the 63rd minute.
ANALYSIS
Milner got his first start of the season Saturday. He placed two crosses (one accurate), but did not manage any shots on target. He was subbed after 66 minutes. The 39-year-old veteran has found the net just once this season, a spot kick against Manchester City. He has featured off the bench this campaign and that will likely remain the case going forward. Any goals or assists will probably be as a result of set-piece or spot-kick duties.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Could extend Brighton tenure
Milner could sign a new contract with Brighton in the summer, according to The Athletic.
ANALYSIS
Brighton are in talks with the 39-year-old veteran English midfielder over a new deal with the club. Even though Milner is way past his prime years, Brighton rate him highly due to his positional versatility but also due to what he brings off the pitch. It wouldn't be surprising if Milner returns to Brighton for one more year before calling it a career.
