Which one to bench of:
Joao Pedro (whu)
or
Kudus (mci)

My BB team, giving me a (predictable) selection headache.
Before GW1 the plan was to bench Kudus, but he was way more impressive than JP in the opening match.

I'm playing Welbeck ahead of Gakpo ... at the moment anyway.

(Also playing Burn ahead of Gvardiol - which is more likely to change :?)

There is not a lot in it , but I would bench Munoz v Wolves and a new manager bounce. A home match v West ham should be OK for Senesi. Good luck anyway.

With 2 weeks rest Enzo should be OK to play v Burnley, it is not a bad fixture for jnr but I would play Enzo, Chelsea rely on him atm, and he still has goal and assist potential.

Cheers for this.

Agree that Senesi has the marginally better fixture but for the past five GWs, Munoz has produced significantly better returns (32 points vs Senesi's 14 points).

It does feel wrong to be benching someone playing at home vs West Ham...

With Welbeck Kroupi and Mukiele on the bench I was thinking about a bench boost but w Kroupi back on the bench and now Gabriel and calafiori and Semenyo injury concerns the times they have a changed.

I personally think calafiori will play and I’m fine w Welbeck coming on for Semenyo.

If only one of these Arsenal start I’m fine for mukiele to come off bench.

I guess the issue will be when skelly gets the nod and I’m left one short at the back and depending on kroupi


Whoops

Oxford one more GKs saga in Who to bench: Manchester's Lammens or Liverpool's Mamardashvili? The Georgian wasn't in very good form on national performance but atm stick on Mamardashvili. Lammens stays on the bench. How do you ponder?
