Rodrigo for sure. Pretty sure he's on pens when Bamford and Klich don't play. Plus Palace have conceded 5 in their last 2 games.SirMattBugsby wrote: ↑30 Nov 2021, 15:09 Play Mbeumo (tot) or Rodrigo (PAL)? Will sell both next week.

Re: Who to bench (21/22)
Should we be benching James now after Tuchels comments?
Seems to me likely he gets a benching which would make a 1 pointer quite likely.

Indeed he is but he can do well in short controlled bursts Picked him up in draft for the 2 weeks in a row that he scored and dumped him before the Leicester game

Johnson or Livramento first sub (to cover the likely James benching)?

Play Foden for his likely 1 point cameo or start King (CHE) or Livramento (LEI) instead?

Probably Foden but can consider Livra. Leicester are weak down their left wing.Highlander12 wrote:Play Foden for his likely 1 point cameo or start King (CHE) or Livramento (LEI) instead?

Bench one of:
Antonio (CHE)
Dennis (MCI)
Rudiger (whu)
Right now on Dennis but should it be Rudiger?

Re: Who to bench (21/22)
I'd bench Benteke but this kind of decision just shows the squads some have. It will lead to bench points of course.
I have to bench 2 out of Alonso, Rudiger, Saka, Antonio and Jimenez. I'm almost certainly playing Saka vs Everton and almost certainly benching Jimenez vs Liverpool.

Benching Chelsea defenders is madness.

For me the Toney/Benteke decision is because I have decided to triple up on Chelsea defence. If we think that it is worth playing one Chelsea defender, benching the other makes little sense. And so in your case I’d also bench Antonio. He may pick today to break his goal drought but essentially the choice is that it avoids one of your attackers against one of your defenders.

Re: Who to bench (21/22)
Agreed to all. That is exactly where my players are stationed at present. It's one of those weeks where it can go wrong but hopefully not too many of them. GW18 looks like another potential benching issue, only worse. Once Jimmy disappears next week, probably to Locadia (King/Dennis are very tempting but I'm actually compounding the misery of squad depth if I do that), then things start to look a bit more streamlined.Smurphy Paw wrote: ↑04 Dec 2021, 09:45Yes to playing Saka and benching Jimenez.Sutter Kane wrote: ↑04 Dec 2021, 09:08I'd bench Benteke but this kind of decision just shows the squads some have.

All that said, if a couple of players keep missing out each week...

Re: Who to bench (21/22)
Benteke sometimes doesn't start in tough away games. Is (mun) a tough away game? Toney is the more secure option but Benteke has slightly higher upside I feel.Smurphy Paw wrote:Which one should I bench?

I benched Duffy and Toney. I feel like I might end up needing both of them this week, with Vardy and possibly Alonso due for a rest.

Currently benching Luiz and Livramento, plus either Dennis (bre) or possibly injured Smith-Rowe (SOU). Benching ESR at the moment.
