[Albion] Veltman and Lamptey

[Kalimantan Gull]

Who do we think we'll see at right back first game of the season? At the end of last year we would have all penciled in Lamptey as our starting RB, and I think many still do, but the signing of Veltman throws it all up in the air. He was in the starting XI for the Chelsea friendly and doesn't look like a player to be on the bench. Assuming that White Webster Dunk will be the centrebacks, is it as simple as 4 at the back it will be Veltman, 5 at the back it will be Lamptey? Will they be rotating, so we don't burn out Lamptey at a young age? Or will injury, suspension and form make all this moot, perhaps with Veltman consistently on the right of a CB three and Lamptey on the right.

I really don't know, nor have much of an inkling....

 

[Hugo Rune]

Veltman.

Defensive back 4 with Burn as the other full back.

Lampard will be expecting a back 3.

 

[Luke93]

I’m not even going to attempt to predict anything. Expecting both to be rotated. Lamptey on paper appears to be more suited for a RWB role if we play with wing backs.

 

[DJ NOBO]

Lamptey

 

[British Bulldog]

Competition, it will make them both better players

 

[Swansman]

Absolutely no idea. Wouldnt be shocked to see both.

Ryan - March, Webster, Dunk, White, Veltman - Bissouma, Lallana, Pröpper - Trossard, Maupay, Lamptey... maybe?

Edit: Too many footballers. Maybe we can make a deal with Chelsea, they can start 12 as well?

 

[SimpKingpin]

It's a tough one.

Lamptey will certainly want to prove a point to Chelsea.
I think he'll have one hell of a game.

Veltman has so much experience and was Ajax captain (insane!) but is still a bit of a unknown quantity at Brighton, in Potter's system(s), for now.
Having said that he's going to be so up for it. His first Premier League match. Something he's desired for so long.

Wish we had this same problem on the left!

 

[blue-shifted]

Veltman. Lamptey to have a role as impact sub for now

 

[SimpKingpin]

Ryan - March, Webster, Dunk, White, Veltman - Bissouma, Lallana, Pröpper - Trossard, Maupay, Lamptey... maybe?

I feel like I'm the only person who would put Alzate in over Propper.

The rest of it I'm good with.

 

[spongy]

No bloody idea. Under Hughton 3 of us could guess the line up straight away.

Under Potter none of us has got one team sheet correct.

Now with new players and not having seen them play yet personally I think its impossible to guess and must be a nightmare for opposition managers.

I'm guessing the reason Veltman started last weekend is because he is away on International duty this weekend.
At the time it wasn't known that Lamptey would be away as well.

So I don't think we can read anything into last week's starting eleven.

Veltman also didnt play any games from March onwards as far as I know.. probably needs game time more than Lamptey does.

 

[Stat Brother]

My guess is Lamptey home Veltman away.

Then subbed depending on whether the scoreline needs protecting or attacking.



Nice options to have..

 

[Albumen]

Veltman was Jackson last Saturday. What a ****ing steal.

 

[dejavuatbtn]

Lampman will shade it.

 

[Tom Hark Preston Park]

It's Lamptey's shirt to lose, he's shown all the right qualities in his short time here, form which has been validated by his well-deserved U21 call-up

 

[vagabond]

Lamptey

 

[amexer]

Veltman played mostly CB for Ajax. Sometimes full back. Never wing back

 

[Cowfold Seagull]

The complete antipathy of his predecessor, it is next to impossible to predict who will be on Graham Potter's next teamsheet.

 

[Easy 10]

I feel like I'm the only person who would put Alzate in over Propper.

I hear you brother.
