Which one out of these three: AWB (CAR), Doherty (ful) or Kolasinac (bha)? Leaning currently towards benching Doherty, but it kinda feels wrong.

Tricky. Possibly Kola, but he played really well last game (I thought) and could get some attacking points to make up for the loss of a cleansheet. Same with Doherty, but I think he's got a better chance of keeping his cleansheet. AWB, cleansheet most likely, but that's probably it.

I'd definitely play Doherty. I'd probably play Kola too.

it looks like you just brought Kolasinac, so why would you bench him? assuming your FPL button is up to date, I'd bench Fraser and play 4-3-3

Ok, I'm having 2nd thoughts and tired of having points on my bench.

Need to bench one defender and one attacker:

Kola (BHA) vs Laporte (LEI) - currently playing Doherty and Robertson

Jimenez (FUL) vs F Anderson (SOU) - currently playing Kane, Rashford, Richarlison, Pogba, Sane, Hazard

Thanks for the comments. Ditched Fraser out for Martial and as I had two free transfers it was funded by transfering Laporte out and Kolasinac in. So no problem benching Kola this week. But the more I think about it, propaply swap AWB to Doherty.

any last minute advice? currently playing Laporte, benching Luiz and Bennett, it's between Laporte and Luiz for me, according to odds City have better chance to keep a clean sheet, but I already benched Luiz few weeks ago when he ended up with 15 points...

I'm sure you're not actually considering benching Robertson, so it's bench one of Doherty, AWB, Kola, Snodgrass :)

I'd bench Doherty or Snodgrass

Jimenez. He hasn't scored away from home this season, plus I'm not convinced Man United are any more sound defensively.

Play one of Schindler (ful), Doherty (tot) or Wan-Bissaka (CHE). Currently playing Schindler so that guarantees at least one blank since I’m playing Kamara as well.

Have to play 1:

Doherty (tot)
AWB (CHE)
Kolasinac (liv)

AWB has the best clean sheet odds out of the 3, but still slim.

However Doherty and Kolasinac more attacking although I definitely expect goals conceded against them.

Really struggling with this one so opinions appreciated!

Yep I have the same question and for some reason I'm playing Kolasinac but more tempted by Doherty.

Wouldn't surprise me to see AWB being the best bet in hindsight though..

Benching Jiminez ahead of my 4 defenders
Alonso (cry)
Laporte (sou)
Lovren (ARS)
Digne (bri)

Seems right choice ?? Lovren possibly the 1 who could make way

I’m currently starting AWB but it just feels wrong...

I benched Jimenez and Doherty. That seems to have severely punished me!

I feel immensely disloyal for benching Doherty but will get his points off the bench as long as Zabaleta stays ill. Wolves were excellent second half today, looking forward to MOTD.

That is true. It's all dependent on today - especially as a non-Hazard owner. Any blows he delivers today would have been softened by Jimenez. (and Fraser?? :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: )

definitely AWB, in their last 7 matches Wolves only failed to score against Liverpool and just yesterday put three against Spurs

VVD first sub for me, AWB third sub, so out of them two I'd play Big Virgil
