Need to PLAY ONE of:
Carroll (New H)
Mee (Cry H)
Milivojevic (Bur A)
I've got a similar three-way shootout going on in my squad - Carroll / Mee / Hegazi - and am leaning towards Mee.

Of course I could always play Carroll too, and bench Ramsey instead 8-)

Mee for sure
Figured both TAA and Stephens are doubts for diff reasons. Should u gamble on TAA playing or just play Stephens?

Ya I'd probably play Stephens. Just transferred him out for Alonso this week (Had some Zaha money in the bank from last week).
I've got Stephens, Alonso, Jones as my starters. I'm just wondering out of Carroll, Mee, Mooy who I should start and who should be first off my bench?

Nothing more annoying than benching your premium defender only for that to be the game he gets attacking returns plus a cleanie. I'd play Valencia and go as far as to say that if you don't play him away at Stoke he's not worth having at that price. It is too much money to be benching against mid table teams. Not that Mee is a bad pick by any means.
Well there's a logic to that, on the other hand, I bought Mee for a reason and his home games were that reason. I'm starting to lean toward Ritchie actually - Swansea seem pretty good at the moment and Rafa may not be there. It's very rare that I play four at the back, but this may warrant it.

Yeah, there's something that's bothering me about benching Carroll. I have a feeling the Swans are going to take Rafa to the cleaners.

That said, he's currently second on my bench, having played Mee and put Milivojevic first OTB. Palace have to start scoring at some point, right?! This week is a mindf*ck.

Close call, but I'd choose Elliot.

I rate West Brom defence higher than Newcastle's, which points toward Foster. But Stoke were terrible at scoring away from home last year, actually they were just terrible at scoring, and I am not sure how much has changed. West Ham on the other hand were the most scoring team outside of topSix last year.

Elliot vs Foster looks a ridiculously tough choice this week. Coin toss, anyone?

I'm playing Elliot. Partly because I have both Antonio and Chicharito to go nuts against West Brom.

If I didn't have either of them... I'd probably still play Elliot since Stoke are very goal shy away from home.

Out of this lot who should I play - TAA, Mee, Gamez? Mooy, Carroll, Chalobah? Who should be first off the bench?

Many in the same boat on this one I would imagine - myself included. I'm leaning towards Eliot - mainly because I have a WHM forward rather than any insight :?

WBA have shorter odds of keeping a clean sheet than Newcastle, but there is not much in it.

Yes it's what I'm doing. WBA have a close to zero chance of a clean sheet whereas Newcastle do. It's the kind of game for Foster however, where a clean sheet could bring huge points.

Start one of Lowe, Chalobah or Cedric. Currently on Lowe, hoping himself and Mee share the spoils in a dire 0-0.

Same decision here. Was quite happy playing Carroll, but there is a good possibility he'll be benched this weekend (FFS describes him as "vulnerable" and the Guardian have him on the bench)

https://www.theguardian.com/football/20 ... ch-preview

So, probably going to play him, but bracing for a possible 1-pointer from the bench.
