Potter explains Lamptey’s absence as Gameweek 12 finishes with double-header

Two Premier League matches kick off simultaneously at 19:15 GMT this evening and bring Gameweek 12 to a close.

Arsenal are looking to end a three-game losing streak at the Emirates when they take on Burnley, while Leicester City’s own iffy home form will be put to the test against Brighton and Hove Albion.

The absence of Tariq Lamptey (£4.8m) from the Seagulls’ matchday squad is the headline team news, with Graham Potter saying the wing-back’s omission was precautionary in nature:

The exclusion of Lamptey is one of three changes that Graham Potter has made from Monday’s 2-1 defeat by Southampton, with Aaron Connolly (£5.3m) and Adam Webster (£4.4m) also dropping out.

Neal Maupay (£6.1m), Alireza Jahanbakhsh (£5.4m) and Dan Burn (£4.3m) are recalled for Albion.

As for Leicester, Brendan Rodgers has largely stuck with the same side that snatched a last-gasp win over Sheffield United last Sunday.

Wilfred Ndidi (£4.8m) is in for Nampalys Mendy (£4.5m) but the Foxes are otherwise unchanged.

In north London, Mikel Arteta has made just one alteration from their defeat to Spurs.

It’s an enforced one, too, with the injured Thomas Partey (£5.0m) replaced by Mohamed Elneny (£4.4m) in central midfield.

Sean Dyche has named the same starting XI that drew 1-1 against Everton last weekend.

Arsenal XI: Leno, Bellerin, Holding, Gabriel, Tierney, Willian, Xhaka, Elneny, Saka, Lacazette, Aubameyang.

Burnley XI: Pope, Lowton, Tarkowski, Mee, Taylor, Westwood, Brownhill, McNeil, Brady, Wood, Rodriguez.

Leicester City XI: Schmeichel, Fofana, Evans, Fuchs, Albrighton, Tielemans, Ndidi, Justin, Pérez, Maddison, Vardy.

Brighton and Hove Albion XI: Ryan, Veltman, Dunk, Burn, Bissouma, White, March, Gross, Jahanbakhsh, Maupay, Welbeck.

      Got to see the gamble through... usually. It was a gamble to get rid of Salah or Kane or whoever but it's usually worse to undo it after Salah/Kane/whoever haul and your player still has good fixtures.

      1 FT and need to replace Jota

      Martinez Steer
      Robertson - Chilwell - Lamptey - KWP - Kilman
      Salah - Bruno - Grealish - Soucek - Jota
      Kane - DCL - Bamford

      a) Jota for Bowen
      b) Jota to Maddison
      c) Jota + Kane for KDB + Adams
      d) Hold for now (can handle 1 Jota drop without losing value) and do C next week for free.

      I kind of like C, since I like KDB more than Kane and Adams more than Bowen, but it would be a -4 hit.

            Yep. 75% sure personally. I’ll aim to bring Kane back in alongside Son in gw16. I’ll ship Bruno to fund him then.

            Tough one this year. I usually do tend to be quite aggressive with transfers to target these premium captaincy picks where possible. Gw18/19 planning without a wildcard is my only concern, so I am considering just using the ft to Bowen/Lookman/Soucek.

              How do you plan to get Kane back in in week 16? It kind of seems to me that once I move on from him I can't really get him back in. 🙁

                He’d come straight back in for Watkins gw16, their fixtures turn the same week. Probably lose Bruno to fund him. Current team for context.
