I’d go with

Mac Allister**
Maupay - Connolly***​

* Only for Burnley away, then sell or loan.
** Can bring on Lallana later if necessary, but fancy younger legs against Burnley.
*** Or Andone.

Unfortunately I think it will take a handful of games to get a "normal" starting eleven. Its DAs fault, according to himself: if there's too many players in the squad, its his fault. Currently there is and its a problem.

Ahead of the 3-3 Wolves game, GP said "we're going to take what we learnt and use it". If the PL started that day, Brighton would have ended on 10th place.

Unfortunately right now the situation is complicated once again. There are too many players and it will take some time to get some structure to it. Wise decisions have been made in most cases, but perhaps too many decisions - the squad does not look healthy, its worryingly big and it makes it difficult to recruit where you might need to (not going to say the S word...)

The suboptimal squad outlook makes me think we'll see a lot of experimenting for 2-3 months; dangerous, but necessary. Hopefully a decent number of points will be picked up anyway, because the schedule looks alright.

I think we'll see this: Sanchez - March, Webster, Duffy, Dunk, Veltman - Bissouma, Mwepu, Lallana - Trossard, Maupay

Nothing would surprise me though.

We simply aren’t good enough to have an experimental 2-3 months, if we dick around using wonky formations and playing players out of position we are asking for trouble. Regarding the schedule β€œlooking alright” , who are you seeing as the teams we could take points from, hopefully none of our relegation rivals as we know we always struggle against them? Sure, we play better against the big teams but I can’t see us holding our own with a squad already hit hard with injuries and missing a mainstay from last season’s defence altogether. We know the squad was too big, that’s why they’ve been offloading players, but at some point reinforcements will be needed, and if recruitment was that tough right now surely we wouldn’t have added a player to our already oversubscribed midfield? We need a left back, a right back and ideally a striker, unless we recruit in those positions this squad is going to be stretched and will likely struggle, again.

Sadly, based on pre-season selections, Ostigard seems not to have made sufficient impression to earn a chance ahead of Duffy. I think Veltman is the most likely third centre back (although I prefer him at wing back where he can contribute more going forward) with probably Gross (with Alzate backing up from the bench) to fill in as right wingback

I suspect you’re right, my selection was based more on what I’d like to see rather than what Potter will pick out of the hat. White to Duffy, that’s quite the downgrade.
