Tariq Lamptey (£4.4m) has been Brighton and Hove Albion’s stand-out performer since returning from injury, and was unlucky not to get on the scoresheet against Aston Villa last weekend, when he was denied by a fine save from Emiliano Martinez (£5.5m).

The youngster was substituted late on, with Villa scoring twice soon after his departure, as Graham Potter continues to manage his recovery following his long-term hamstring problem. As a result, he surely won’t start every game in December, but providing you have a strong bench, it shouldn’t be too much of an issue, especially given his budget price tag.

Lamptey’s positioning since returning from injury has been hugely encouraging, playing very far up the right flank and often hugging the touchline. Because of that, since making his first start in Gameweek 11, amongst all defenders, only Reece James (£6.1m) and Ben Chilwell(£6.0m) have touched the ball more often in the opponent’s penalty area, with his four shots in the box only bettered by Chelsea’s wing-backs and team-mate Antonio Rudiger (£5.9m).

Albion now face a Leeds United side who have struggled in attack all season, scoring just seven Premier League goals in seven games in the absence of Patrick Bamford (£7.7m). Encouragingly, for those considering investing, their meeting with Marcelo Bielsa’s side marks a reasonably favourable run, too, with matches against Southampton (a), Wolverhampton Wanderers (h) and Brentford (h) in the coming weeks.

Lamptey has been a real threat down the wing for Brighton in recent matches, and with an ownership of just 0.8%, could be an effective defensive differential.

Seven is traditionally a lucky number but it will not feel that way for Bryan Mbeumo, as that is the number of times the Brentford forward has hit the woodwork this season.

Mbeumo has every right to consider himself the unluckiest player in the Premier League after hitting the post once again at Newcastle United on Saturday.

If his seven shots had been inches closer and hit the woodwork and gone in, he would be the Premier League's second-highest scorer with nine goals, only behind Mohamed Salah's 11.

Mbeumo's seven hits of the woodwork have come in just 11 appearances, as he has missed one of Brentford's matches.

Less than a third of the way through the season, Mbeumo is already on course to break the record for the most times a player has hit the woodwork in a campaign.

Robin van Persie is the unfortunate leader after his 10 hits with Arsenal in 2011/12.

Would have gone Tomiyasu > Chilwell and Mount > De Bruyne.

So far just Tomiyasu > Robertson but also likely to go Mount to Ward-Prowse.

Odegaard in for Buendia

ESR VC into Salah

Might bench Bruno and play Havertz if fit.

EDIT. Not decided yet on 2nd trade
