Fran Kirby has created 12 chances for Brighton & Hove Albion Women this season, a key figure as the team prepares for their next Women's Super League fixture away to London City Lionesses on Saturday. The midfielder's 88.3% pass completion rate and 42.9% successful cross rate highlight her consistent influence in the final third.

Kirby has registered one assist so far, contributing to a team that has scored 11 goals across its last five matches. Her underlying creative numbers suggest there could be more attacking returns to come, a positive sign for a side looking to continue its recent form. The 18 Fantasy points she has accumulated reflect her all-round contributions on the pitch.

Brighton's recent results show an unbeaten streak of three matches, with a win and two draws. The sequence began with a 1-1 draw against Aston Villa on September 20th, where Grace George opened the scoring in the 31st minute. That result followed a dramatic 2-2 draw at Birmingham City a week earlier, where Katie Seike's 95th-minute equaliser, assisted by Kirby, secured a point.

Recent attacking form

The team's ability to find the net has been evident. In the draw with Birmingham, Olga Garcia and Katie Seike were on target, with Kirby providing the key pass for the late leveller. This resilience has been a feature, helping Brighton avoid defeat in their last three outings. The current form reads one win and two draws from the last three games, a solid platform ahead of the trip to London.

With key players like Evan Ferguson, Femi Azeez, Jack Hinshelwood, Kaoru Mitoma, Mats Wieffer and Yankuba Minteh currently sidelined, the creative burden on established figures like Kirby increases. Her ability to unlock defences with precise passing and crossing will be important against a London City Lionesses side that Brighton will face this weekend. The full squad list, including those unavailable, is available on our squad page.

Kirby's role in the team's structure is clear. Her high pass completion rate ensures Brighton retain possession and build attacks effectively, while her willingness to deliver crosses adds a direct threat. As the team looks to turn draws into wins, her chance creation will be a primary metric to watch. Brighton's next match is away to London City Lionesses on September 26th.
