Just six of the 16 players in the Brighton loan army started for their respective clubs this week.

Evan Ferguson, meanwhile, came under fire from his manager after underwhelming off the bench for Roma against Juventus.
The Brighton Base takes a closer look at these performances and at how the rest of Brighton’s loan players got on this week.
