Greenwood (BUR)
Ings (Cpa)
Grealish (WAT)?

Thanks
I think after today and at home he will 100% start Greenwood.

Watford are massively improved so its a gamble, but id be tempted to bench Grealish
Yeah, and definitely not Ings.
Stevie, I’ve read your ‘100% certain’ predictions before. Do you get 100% of them right?
Im 100% useless and also a 100% a jinx.

Save yourself and bench Greenwood 🤣
I’m 100% going to wait for the pressers for this one then guess at the last minute :mrgreen:

Need to pick two to start from:

Rico (BHA H)
Kelly (SOU H)
Cantwell (TOT A)

Currently have the two defenders starting, plus a Palace double up with Guaita. I’m fine with the double up so it’s most likely Rico vs Cantwell.

Guaita
TAA Soyuncu Rico Kelly
Salah (tc) Mane KDB Grealish
Vardy Maupay

McGovern Cantwell Greenwood Lundstrum

Edit: or after the above discussion perhaps a Greenwood punt is worth it over Rico or Cantwell for this week. Could see him starting and even if only 30 mins he could easily outscore both.

I'd edge towards playing Kelly, Palace are better defensively than Bournemouth. That said, Southampton are better going forward than Brighton, so maybe a toin coss is your best bet after all!

I'd be tempted to start Greenwood, has to be a good chance he starts or at least get a decent spell from the bench, and then whichever of Kelly and Rico wins in a coin toss!

Cheers, that's how I currently have it too with Kelly first sub. Probably one of my closest benching calls of the season so far though!

Foster. He's one of the top goalkeepers in the league.

Welcome
Tough choice
Of those, bench Traore and one other
I’m benching Greenwood and playing Soy but I think I may be wrong!

That's probably what the vast majority would have advised.

Yeah I know, don't normally rotate but having used the BB earlier in the season I had a transfer to burn on Pope and seemed silly not getting McCarthy at 4.3

Couple of benching dilemmas for me this weekend...

Traore (mun) or Cantwell (new)?

Two from Dunk (whu), Soyuncu (CHE), Kelly (SHU), Kiko (EVE)?

Play Traore in this form.

FWIW I'm benching Kelly, playing Soyuncu and Dunk.

I'd bench Cantwell for sure, and perhaps Hayden with him (Hayden's recent points are statistical oddities, right?).

I'm struggling between Ings, Perez and Lascelles. Perez should play just based on form alone. Brain says Ings should play, but I don't fancy Soton scoring and Newcastle may well keep a CS.

Would anyone play Lundstram ahead of Cathcart (home to Eve) risking the potential (probably in fact) 1 point off the bench?

nvm, Tosun is injured (what a great punt that was...), so I have only 12 players for the weekend, benching Dendoncker and hoping for Lundstram to start...

Sidibe (wat)
Kelly (SHU)
Rico (AVL)
Maddison (CHE)

Was set on playing Rico and Kelly. But given how many people are planning to bench that pair I'm having second thoughts. Seems a waste putting so much £ on the bench.

I am ussually wrong but in my mind Everton and Villa are improving, The blades are playing well and Chelsea are going to play an open game ( see fixtures and my rambling will make sense) .
Bench Kelly and Rico. There could be points there for Maddison and Sidibe and if that is your only concern for the GW you will do well. ( sleep deprivation and pain killers are doing the talking here btw)
Good luck
