Benching King and Ronaldo - in that order - sensible?

Only with hindsight will we know with that one. Can’t see Chelsea shipping lots of goals even if Ronnie gets one so it makes sense to me

Any thoughts?
I’d typically play the attacking player and bench the defender. Any reason to deviate from that approach?

No. Players like Duffy and Livra will unfortunately sometimes be points benched. But you cannot bench Raphinha.

Thanks. It’s what I’d done. Always useful to have the validation - and a decent 12th man for any no-show

I'd avoid the Wolves defensive double up and bench Semedo for King although I'm right behind you in The Rounded Keeper league so can you really trust anything I say :lol:

They're playing Norwich! (though in fairness Norwich have improved, and scoring hasn't always been an issue for them)

I always ignore the double up arguments - consider each player individually - hence last week's triple up on Chelsea.

I still have Schmeichel :shock: Odds on a King penalty save?



Don’t worry, I can’t put the mockers on myself and ruin Schmeichel’s form. He doesn’t have any

Actually I think you may be right. Norwich attack not bad a Semedo, though unlucky, hasn’t done much going forward. Watford on the up, Leicester had midweek game …

Yes, think King over Semedo - thanks.

5 pts for Semedo - would have liked that but plenty of chance King can beat it. May get a no show anyway, so nice to have the points ready if necessary.

No worries ;) Picked up King in draft this week so I got to enjoy that goal too :mrgreen:

I need to start one of Hwang, ESR, Mbeumo or Livramento.

Currently have them in that order.

Bench one of Hwang (BUR), Cornet (wol), Raphinha (CRY) or Benteke (lee).

Currently benching Cornet.

Tough one. I might be biased but I think I'd bench Hwang from those (even though I have him starting for me).

If your team is the same as the one in your link, I'd be benching Williams, Allan and Livramento.

I would probably start him in your situation as well just on the fixture. My problem and probably yours is Hwang hasn't been involved much in Wolves attacks recently, if his underlying numbers had held up it would be a no-brainer to just back the player at home with a decent fixture.

That link is my team but I have done Williams :arrow: Alonso as I want a strong bench for December, an unfortunate consequence of that though is I will be having these dilemmas for that time.

I've benched Hwang - his numbers have dropped off a cliff. No shots in last 4 games and only 7 shots in 10 games!

Wonder if it's worth playing Dennis... he's been in form but is flagged at 50%.

My other option is play Smith-Rowe (Man U Away), which I'm not expecting to be a goal fest but who knows... midweek games do seem to throw up some interesting results.

Play ESR. Inflammatory response, I know.
