Re: Who to Bench 25/26
My team has grown up into a sexy young man but the bench is getting awful crowded and they don’t want to sit on each others laps - not even the Italian!
If you had Timber Calafiori Munoz Richards Mukiele
Which 3 or 4 would you start?
I’m thinking of benching Sarr for Richards who is very consistent and playing Mukiele over Calafiori. Chelsea likely to score at home no? And Muki vs weakened Bournemouth sounds great
Currently benching: Semenyo calafiori Richards

Re: Who to Bench 25/26
What about Sarr and Richards or Minteh and Welbeck?
I’m now playing the two Brighton boys but they are on the road. Better to start the palace boys home to utd or should I mix and match?

How’s everyone feeling about their arsenal
Defensive assets at home to the leagues in form
Offense and striker?
Holding timber and calafiori may bench Cala.

Re: Who to Bench 25/26
Given the likely rotation due to fixture congestion, the bench will be needed this week.

Re: Who to Bench 25/26
It will turn out to be a horrible bench boost as Hartman was dropped but the only other good opportunity fixture wise for me was gw19 and I think that will suffer more rotation. Now my boost is used I only have the free hit to worry about and if my 4 afcon transfers are a disaster there will be a new wildcard available in a few weeks

Re: Who to Bench 25/26
You have to play Timber . Out of the other 4 defenders Burnley are the worst team so i would bench Esteve. Spurs usually score so i would bench Williams. Lacroiz usually gets 10 defensive contributions so that is 2 points plus 2 points for starting and Palace are good team so unlikely to concede many goals v City might even win or draw that game so i would say he is your second best defender this week. VvD is another player who gets 10 defensive contributions quite often and he has goal threat no point having him in your squad if you are benching him in a home game .TheBigLewandowski wrote: 09 Dec 2025, 13:58 Bench two from the following:

Good luck whatever you decide to do lets hope we can keep our good form in the F1 comp and win the constructors championship .

It’s a close call though. With Virgil anything could happen.
Is Thiago knock nonsense? If Thiago doesn’t play my bench is Keane (ARS), Stach (CRY) and Hartman (bou) and I’ll take any suggestions on how to prioritize those 3 subs

Re: Who to Bench 25/26
I think Guehi has to be in your starting X1 Blah a lot of people have a Palace defender and Guehi is the most popular one. DCL went up in price up the other day to 5.7 but he is still only 4.1% owned .
You could play both Guehi and DCL if you are not sure between them two players and still have a chance Guehi gets an attackng return if Palace do concede. Keane ownership is 3.1% so again so not really owned by a lot of people and most of those will probably bench him if they have three other defenders they think have slightly easier games this week . I have have benched Keane but i have Pickford so i am covered if Everton keep a clean sheet. Keane has goal threat so not an easy decision for you to make.
The number 1 choice for me to start of those three is Guehi by a long way . The other two i think is 50/ 50 . I would wait as long possible to see how many players are likely to be out of Everton team before making a final decision at the moment my second choice for your team would be to play DCL .
Good luck whatever you decide to do but i am not being blamed if Keane and DCL both score more points than Guehi .

Re: Who to Bench 25/26
Yeah Guehi is where I am, and the nagging doubt about starting Keane isn't helped by the attacking absentees.
DCL is my Andreas atm. Tbh, having a nailed first sub is pretty much my FPL nirvana because it means he's doing well enough to not be sold and the front 7 are firing.
