I need to bench 2 of Bruno Robinson timber Kluivert Rogers Raul and Joao Pedro.

Think it’s become “play one of” Rogers Kluivert or Bruno (I think Fulham will do well, and Robinson gets lots of assists).

Think it’s “bench Kluivert and Rogers” (the latter is surely tired by now and Villa poor after Europe) though benching Bruno instead of Rogers is tempting.

That's quite the conundrum! I would probably play Bruno and Kluivert purely because they're both on penalties and they've both won a fair few recently and Fulham have conceded a few too.

My dilemma is to play either Robinson or Konsa, Villa have the slightly better CS odds but Robinson has more chance of getting an attacking return.

If I play both I have to bench someone else too - out of Robinson timber Raul and Joao Pedro.

…Robinson seems obvious but it looks a great match up and CS possibility too.

Best team at scoring set pieces against team that concedes the most (accepting they will miss Saka’s delivery, and Wolves are under new management)?

It’s a good thought though.

Bench Robinson and Kluivert?
Suspect that is what models would say. I’m expecting Man U to be v poor though so very reluctant to bench Robinson.

Fulham usually concede the odd silly goal. And you have Bruno..

Should've listened to me.... Kluivert goal, Timber yellow card now, likely to concede too with 10 men for 50 odd minutes.

GW25 really stumped. Bench one.

Salah Palmer Mbeumo Kluivert Rogers
Isak Gakpo Wood

Salah rogers Gakpo doubling
Kluivert vs soton
Isak at city
Wood at Fulham


I think it’s between mbeumo at west ham, kluivert or Rogers

Out of that choice it would have to be Mbeumo, really tough decision though. If you give more weight to penalties then Rogers should be benched but he's playing twice.....

For me, start Sels or Flekken?

Well, it didn't go well for me last time but the same dilemma exists once more, start Sels (Arsenal home) or Flekken (Everton home)?

i'm starting Sels this week over Pickford.

Brentford scores at home.

I'm thinking Sels either gets some save points or Arsenal attack is INACTIVE again and he keeps an easy clean sheet. Lot of upside to playing this strikerless Arsenal right now.

Whereas one of Mbeumo or Wissa or Schade are EXTREMELY likely to score.

Start Joao Pedro or Dango (starting Kluivert as on pens)?

Start Huijsen or Mykolenko?

Good luck everyone👍

Quien voy a enviar al banco

Salah Palmer Mbeumo (newc away) Kluivert (IPS home) Sarr (soton away)
Isak Marmouche Evanilson

Seems Palmer will be fit by Thursday so my current feeling is Mbeumo, although his recent goals have come in AWAY performances.
Tough one this one week Clive, over to you.

Saka, Savinho, Rashford or Marmoush...?

Post-WC, original plan was Rashford, but Southamption away looks very tempting after City's damp squib against Utd...
