1) Robinson (NEW), Lewis (ARS) or Greaves (sou),
2) Pedro (NFO) or Minteh?

Presently on Robinson and Pedro. I think Pedro will either start or not be in the squad? Robinson is more tricky: don't think Lewis will start. Any consideration for Greaves? Do Saints have a set piece/header weakness I don't know about?
Now considering Lewis.. thoughts?

DCL or Smith Rowe?

Currently benching Smith Rowe because of the fixture, but thinking DCL is going to continue to punish me for bringing him in.

From the crapshoot I think it maybe comes down to potential attacking returns- neither are a decent (or even an ok) bet for a clean sheet, so I think I’d go for Faes.. chance of a cheeky header in a tight game…

Great auto correct 🤣

Digne plus one, but I have this idea that 10H saves his job, yet again.

Went with Winks before seeing this but thanks for the feedback. Fingers crossed it was the right choice 😉

Not sure why you are paying 6m for a defender and not using him against a currently poor team.
That could be 1.5m funds to upgrade a Mid or For.

Who start from Greaves (EVE) or Mykolenko (ips) ?

Feel Ipswich will score at home, regardless of final result.

But Mykolenko and Branthwaite being back for Everton could make them better defensively? Thanks

Whose 1 or 2 pointer do you want? 😂

Surely you didn’t put Greaves in your squad, thinking you would choose to start him any week? Myko for me

I'm on a similar thing; start ESR or Rogers, currently starting ESR.

I think Fulham will cause Brentford problems, but I also think Spurs are Spurs and they will always give up chances.

The fact we've both started the Fulham players and benched Rogers is telling, and it also means that Rogers scores 2 goals and we can cry together, haha!

Sure mate. Always up for crying together :lol: ESR is better than Adama and Rogers: start him for sure. Hope Adama assists him..

Bench 2 from these 5 defenders :

Faes (CHE)
RAN (ful)
Lewis (TOT)
Kerkez (BHA)
Porro (mci)

Also is it worth benching Wood and playing an extra defender from the above ? If so which one ?

Rogers.

My 3-to-bench-1-from group is Fernandes, Rogers & Evanilson and Rogers is currently sitting out for me.

Rogers or Wissa?

Wissa never scores away from home and Brentford back line seems a mess. Tempted to go with Rogers as the starter

For the record:

Sels - Valdi
Gvardiol - Timber - Ait Nouri - Leif Davis - Faes
Salah - Saka - Palmer - Mitoma - Rogers
Wissa - Cunha - Pedro

Quite a similar dilemma - which of the attackers to bench? Switching between Rogers & Mbeumo. Benching a pen taker (Mbeumo) feels wrong and has cought me out a couple of times in previous season. But Rogers at home against a leaky Brentford defence - also seems wrong to bench😄

@NBR: in your case I’d indeed play Rogers - better game setup and Wissa not on pens would sway it for me

I'm still very torn between ESR and Rogers, both are decent players and both good get a return. It's a big coin flip.
