I said maybe. Also that was last season, the dynamic has changed massively. This season the bottom teams have been spending big and good, but we now have Wolves and Fulham who went in hard in the transfer window.
Personally I think the bottom three will be:
-Cardiff
-Newcastle
-Brighton
with our luck brighton will be relegated.
I'm not expecting Brighton to win the EPL but let's wait until the Christmas break before we go all doom and gloom.
Brighton have spent big and good as well. Seems like you didn't look at my other post.. Besides Jahanbakhsh, Bissouma, Andone, Montoya, Bernardo, and Balogun have all been strong signings for Brighton.
Then you have Locadia that came in the middle of last season, plus Izquierdo that has been with the team for a year. Both strong signings.
From the picture below you can see Brighton was the 10th biggest spender this season. Yes newbies Fulham, and Wolverhampton spent more but they're coming from the championship and needed to bolster their squads more. So the only team that finished in the bottom half that spent more than Brighton is West Ham. But you should not only look at the amount of money spent, bought more so at the players coming in and their qualities.
So in short the 11 you saw today is going to change drastically as new players get incorporated, and Brighton had a very strong transfer season.

Come on guys. All this negativism after only one game?
We all know BHA ain't no manchester or Chelsea. Let's wait anther 6-7 weeks before judging them.
EPL is not an easy competition and most teams outside the big6 play their best at home games. I am sure we will see a much better team after all these new signing like ARJ, Bissouma, etc will get to know each other.
Let's enjoy that our boy celebrated his 25th Birthday with a debut in PL!
Good luck to BHA and Alireza!
