Lamptey should follow heart on Ghana switch — Potter Brighton and Hove Albion head coach Graham Potter has advised Tariq Lamptey to go with his heart in deciding whether to switch from England...
Enock Mwepu - Will miss another match Mwepu (groin) is in limited training but won't be ready for Sunday's trip to Leeds, according to manager Graham Potter.
Impact Mwepu has no reason to be pushed for the final two matches of the season and he's considered a doubt for the finale. Pascal Gross came in for him last match and bagged a goal in a big win against Manchester United and a similar XI could be used against Leeds.

He recorded four goals and two assists across his last five EPL appearances.
MAY 8, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Pascal Gross - Best stat line of 2022 Gross created four chances and scored one goal during a 4-0 win Saturday versus Manchester United.
Impact Brighton & Hove Albion manager Graham Potter utilized a 3-4-2-1 formation, which the team used twice across 18 English Premier League games this year. Gross was one of two BHA attacking midfielders Saturday. But despite little experience playing that position, he logged the team's most created chances and his first EPL goal across 2022.

Impact Across 18 Premier League appearances this year, Sanchez's most recent clean sheet was his first to have more than four saves. He will try maintaining another one against Leeds United (one of few Premier League teams trying to avoid relegation) on May 15.

Enock Mwepu - Out with groin injury Mwepu will miss at least one match with a groin injury suffered last weekend, according to manager Graham Potter.
Impact It's a tough injury for Mwepu, who was finally getting consistent minutes and had started the last five contests. Brighton could use someone else in his position or return to a three center-backs with Adam Webster an option to re-enter the XI. Brighton have mixed things up more than most teams this season, so a return to the starting XI for Webster, Tariq Lamptey or Neal Maupay are all possible Saturday against Manchester United.

Danny Welbeck - Records assist in win Welbeck took three shots (two on target) and assisted a goal in Saturday's 3-0 victory against Wolverhampton. He also made a clearance in the match, and he created four chances ove...
Impact Welbeck has been playing his best football in some time this month, with 13 shots (seven on target) and 10 chances created in six appearances since the start of April, and he set up a Leandro Trossard strike Saturday to go along with the goal he scored himself last weekend. He will want to extend that form into May as next weekend he faces his former club Manchester United, which have conceded 52 times in 35 Premier League matches.

Leandro Trossard - Scores goal against Wolves Trossard scored a goal and created two chances in Saturday's 3-0 victory against Wolverhampton. He also made a block and an interception in the match.
Impact Trossard scored his third goal in his last four Premier League appearances on Saturday with a lovely dribble to set up his shot on Saturday.

Yves Bissouma - Scores goal against Wolves Bissouma scored a goal and won two of three tackles in Saturday's 3-0 victory against Wolverhampton. He also made a clearance and an interception in the match.
Impact Bissouma added the icing on the cake late in Saturday's win after returning from a two-game suspension. He has scored exactly one goal in each of his last two seasons, and now he's on track to finish with the same tally in 2021/22. Next weekend he will face Manchester United, which are sixth in the Premier League table.
APRIL 30, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Enock Mwepu - Forced off against Wolves Mwepu was forced off with an injury in the second half of Saturday's match against Wolverhampton.
Impact Mwepu was getting his fifth-straight start Saturday, but it's another minor issue that forces him out early. He's gone more than 77 minutes in just one of those recent starts. The hope is that it's another small knock and he'll be back in the XI next match.

Tariq Lamptey - Good for Wolves trip Lamptey (knee) trained Thursday and is expected to be available for Saturday's match against Wolves, according to manager Graham Potter. "Tariq Lamptey trained today [Thursday], so...
Impact It seems like only a minor issue for Lamptey, but there's no guarantee he returns to the starting XI after missing last week's match. He's moved in and out of the starting XI this season and given this issue, doesn't seem likely for a full 90 if he starts at Wolves on Saturday.
APRIL 28, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Jeremy Sarmiento - Picks up new hamstring problem Sarmiento picked up a minor hamstring problem and will miss Saturday's match against Wolves, according to manager Graham Potter.
Impact Sarmiento has played off the bench in three of the last five matches and has also featured for the U23s over the last month. Unfortunately, he has another hamstring issue, something that kept him out a few months earlier this season.
APRIL 28, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Marc Cucurella - Active in draw Cucurella created one chance from five crosses (three accurate) and conceded a yellow card during Sunday's 2-2 draw with Southampton.
Impact Cucurella also made two interceptions during the contest. His offensive production hasn't been so consistent with one chance created in his last four matches but he has logged 17 tackles and nine interceptions over his last five games. Up next is a trip to Wolverhampton, which don't score much but make up for it with a strong defense.
APRIL 25, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Neal Maupay - Shotless in draw Maupay logged one accurate cross and failed to take a shot in 85 minutes of Sunday's 2-2 draw with Southampton.
Impact Maupay is now scoreless in nine straight appearances after matching the eight goals he scored last season as well. Up next is a trip to Wolverhampton, which have conceded the fourth-fewest goals in the league.
APRIL 25, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Robert Sanchez - Concedes two in draw Sanchez conceded two goals and made three saves during Sunday's 2-2 draw with Southampton.
Impact Sanchez has conceded five goals in his last two matches, a loss to Manchester City and now a draw with his club's derby rivals. Still, a favorable matchup against Wolverhampton, which have scored the fourth-fewest goals in the EPL.
APRIL 25, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Danny Welbeck - Scores in draw Welbeck scored one goal from four shots (four on goal) during Sunday's 2-2 draw with Southampton.
Impact Welbeck was able to score for the first time in four months and interestingly, each time he's found the net this season he's kept all of his shots on target as well. As he's now started four times in the last five matches, he could stick around against Wolverhampton, which have conceded 29 goals in 33 matches.
APRIL 25, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Yves Bissouma - Eligible to return Saturday Bissouma has served his two-match ban for accumulation and will be eligible to play versus Wolverhampton on Saturday.
Impact Bissouma has started seven of the club's last nine outings prior to his ban. In those appearances, the midfielder registered six shots (zero on target), two crosses (zero accurate) and 20 interceptions. Given his limited offensive upside, Bissouma is unlikely to offer more than mid-range fantasy value moving forward.
APRIL 25, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Steven Alzate - Unused substitute Sunday Alzate (illness) was named to the match-day squad versus Southampton on Sunday but failed to get onto the pitch.
Impact Alzate has been an unused substitute in each of his last four inclusions in the squad, so the fact he was unable to get onto the pitch Sunday shouldn't come as a surprise. At this point, the midfielder will likely be hard-pressed to see any significant minutes down the stretch, making him a relative non-factor in fantasy contests.
