I was thinking this thread might just be goalkeeper decisions. I'd bench Fab.

My bench is so mediocre, I'm not sure I'll ever have to make a tough choice until I Wildcard.

1 of 3 need benching so King away at West Ham or Jiminez at Leicester or Hughes at Burnley.

I'm thinking the former as all opposition's are relatively strong at Premier League level but I'm thinking Wolves and Watford are more likely to score than Bournemouth, at a tricky trip to West Ham.

Thoughts?

I'd bench Hughes, mainly because Burnley are a class act defensively. Both West Ham and Leicester will concede chances.

Besides, Bournemouth aren't that bad in attack, right? Atleast at par with Wolves and not far behind Watford.

Mitrovic (Spurs Away) or Jota (Leicester Away)

Fixture says Jota but my feeling is towards Mitro

Good point on the defensive attributes of Burnley. I have put the forwards in intentionally with Hughes fitting the 5th holding midfielder.

Thanks for the feedback.

Play one of: Peltier (NEW) / Tomkins (LIV) / Wan-Bissaka (LIV). Currently going with Peltier but Cardiff seems a bit rubbish but Pool could easily bag 4 goals.

I think Cardiff/Newcastle will be a low scoring match.

Same position as you but it's Peltier vs AWB.

I think it's almost certain Liverpool are scoring, more so than Newcastle so I have Peltier playing. But AWB is more likely to get attacking returns. Then again I'd have about 5 players i.e. half my team (3 Liv, 2 CP) involved in a single match which probably isn't the best idea. Think I'll just give Peltier a go and hope he can return 2 points.

David Luiz or Kelechi Iheanacho

I Think I did my decision already but would be fun to hear what u think. Luiz plays Arsenal and Iheanacho plays Wolves.

Thanks yeah it’s made even made more complicated by owning Tosun which had me leaning towards playing Boly but should owning Tosun even come into calculation

Cairney (Tot A) or Neves (Lei A)

Leaning towards benching Cairney, not that I'm convinced by Spurs and think Fulham could nick a goal or two.

I watched the palace fulham game and Cairney looked well off the pace, seri was also the one taking corners. If it was me I'd play Neves

Thanks for the heads-up, I'm guessing he's a wait and see, in case he puts some form together. I actually watched him last game of the season at Blues and he was industrious and looked a threat (even took a risky header and got a goal for his rewards)

Will probably bench and look at replacements or wait for a 4.5m option who might come good!

Peltier (Newcastle Home) or Kabasele (Burnley Away)?

Currently starting Peltier as normally go for the defender at home if I can’t call it, but Burnley playing last night could edge it for Kabasele.

Or I could start both in place of Zaha but don’t think that’s wise.

Who out of Van Aanholt (LIV), Cairney (tot) or Peltier (NEW)?

On the one hand I don't expect Palace to keep a clean sheet, but then Van Aanholt always has the potential for attacking returns. If Cardiff have the ability to keep a clean sheet against anyone, Newcastle at home has to be up there, but then I do think they'll struggle in most games this season and I'm still convinced they'll end up finishing rock bottom.

Is Cairney who's unlikely to be given many opportunities at Wembley the obvious choice to bench?
