First rule of fpl used to be do not bench Alonso.
Chilwell is the new alonso. Don’t bench him !

I've got the same dilemma. I'm playing Kilman at the moment.

With Mitchell highly unlikely to start, it's not much of a dilemma, is it?

As dilemmas go, this ranks up there with the 'Biscuit or Cake' scene from Father Ted. :lol:

I would bench Mitchell (won't start) and Romeu (won't do anything).

It's a mercy having any bench this week though :D

I'd probably play Mitchell on the off chance he starts.

Anyone else with Dallas and Walker-Peters?

Have no luck picking the one to play, and the one benched often ends up with 5-9 points... Just did the comparison (bold played)

GW6
KWP: 5
Dallas: 6

GW7
KWP: 1
Dallas: 6

GW8
KWP: 9
Dallas: 0

GW9
KWP: 3
Dallas: 5

GW10
KWP: 1
Dallas: 8

Potential point gain: 24

Feel like Cresswell might be worth dumping and just playing these two and keeping the two 4.5s.

Bench one from

Cresswell (lee)
Ayling (WHU)
Lookman (LIV)

I also have Bamford if that helps.

I think Ayling is playing CB this week so much less chance of attacking returns.

Is it better with Jota playing 35 min from bench against Fullham or Justin 90 min vs Brighton @ home?

Cheers really torn between Lamptey and Romeu, I guess the former has more of a chance of attacking returns

Can play two of

Soucek (CRY)
Watkins (BUR)
Calvert-Lewin (lei)

Feel I should be playing Soucek on recent form, really.

You just brought him in for Romeu?

Benching DCL is just nuts. Not in the least because Leicester is not defensively sound lately.

Yeah was always the plan to get him for a first bench player, so did it after the game Friday.

Plan was to play Soucek and bench Watkins, who doesn't seem to be getting anything in terms of service and is off pens too.

Really not sure next week. Need to bench 2 of the following - have put them in order of who not to bench hence curently looking like benching Kane (!) and Watkins

Foden WBA (H) (Suspect he'll start)
Vesterg'rd ARS (A)
Chilwell WOL (A)
Soucek CRY (H)
Bamford NEW (H)
Lamptey FUL (A)
Kane LIV (A) - Bench
Watkins BUR (H) - Bench


Any better thoughts?

Nice problem to have!
Benching Kane ahead of three defenders each playing away from home? It’s counter intuitive
Of those, Wolves are struggling for goals so I’d play Chilwell who also has attacking threat. I appreciate that the same could be said for both the other two but I’d play Kane ahead of them both

Thanks. The flip side is that the other teams have struggled to score too, home and away is less important now, and the defenders in question are also more than capable of attacking returns too.

They are and, setting up my team just now, I have much of the same dilemma. Bench one of:
Chilwell (Wol)
Lamptey (Ful)
Justin (EVE)
Predictive maths says bench Justin. Today’s 11 pointer says, ‘Don’t’!

Also Everton (probably) without full backs and James R may struggle to score.

Ryan vs Fulham away or McCarthy vs Arsenal away? Got Ryan starting at the minute but thinking of changing
