Brighton's buy-low-sell-high policy has been very successful in recent years, selling off stars such as Bennett, Guguerena, Dan Bone, Bissouma and Leandro Dussart at high prices, but results have not been affected, with the likes of Kaoru Sanfonium, Moses Scarcitto, Alex MacArthur, Ivan Ferguson, Pervasius Dupilon, and the newest player, Ensor, being taken on from South America or the second-tier leagues.
According to The Athletic, Brighton's buying vision depends on Starlizard, a data company owned by owner Tony Bloom, which has detailed information on players from all over the world, and also has a traffic light mechanism for grading the attraction of new recruits, where green means the player is perfectly suited to the team's needs, yellow means close to the needs, and red is still to be seen. Precise analysis ensures that you won't buy the wrong person. Most importantly, players and team leaders can be pried away by other clubs, but it's hard to get them away from the owner's company!
