I will not be benching any of my strikers {Sturridge, Van Persie, Aguero}, so need to bench at least one of my midfielders:

Sessegnon {home to Swansea}
Walters {home to West Brom}
Bale {away to Man City}
Valencia {away to Arsenal}
Gerrard {away to Bolton}

The usually obvious choices are not so obvious this GW, and those we'd find it easier benching have decent fixtures. I have considered all five at one time or another.

I need reasons for and against, for all of them if you like.

Who do I bench?

don't bench walters , all his goals and assists have come at home. bench sess - the others are better* players and I'd take good players over good fixtures.


*or should be

Valencia for me - he's the least important player to his respective team IMO and the one most likely not to play a full game also.

I'm with BC on this one - Valencia

Report from the match:

'He sent over 12 crosses, created five chances, took on his marker three times and completed 42 of 46 passes, one of which put Danny Welbeck clear to win the penalty which Rooney missed'

Ferguson loves his wingers..... There is no way Valencia won't play this weekend, he is one of the most important players at Man Utd this season.

I would bench Sess

Id play Valencia and have Sess as first Sub, i have a sneaky feeling Park may get Valencias spot away at Arsenal, but if he plays he is on for a goal, assist, or BP's - this game will be open and i sense goals. Sess is up against a mean Swansea defence.

Close call but voted for Valencia over Sessegnon. Nice mid you have there.

Valencia Dyer transfer then...

I gonna go with Bale , but only because I think Man City will be playing this match very defensively. I think everyone else's defense is too open to the players you have.

Nice problem to have btw.

Yeah it's between Bale and Valencia, who'd have thought?

Bench Bale, Sessegnon or Valencia, play Walters - shame on all of you.

I would have said Gerrard

I knew there was a reason I don't post RMT threads.

To be fair, you pay the price for having too strong a midfield and forward line - this is going to be a dilemma every gameweek. This is why I still have Moses...
