    He plays on other side of the pitch to Mariappa.:confused::confused:

    When he plays though, Ward moves across to Mariappa's wing so his presence has a direct revelance to Mariappa's playing time.

    I've been away since our initial debate re Mariappa. Has he seen more playing time in recent pre-season matches?

    Palace played 2 games during the week at the same time. One was the first team ,the other an XI of backups and new signings ,Mariappa started in the first team with Dann Delaney & Ward. Williams was is in the other team same with Hangeland.

    Yesterday they played again with Williams playing a full 90 with Mariappa on bench.

    I still don't see Williams starting against Arsenal It would be a ask for him to try contain Alexis imo.

    Hull fan seems to think Bruce is nailed on.

    How come Enda Stevens isn't listed in the game? Seems to have played a few games pre-season at LB and expected him to be a 4.0m option. If he gets gametime during the season and then gets added then I fear he'd be coming in at 4.5

    Pulis on Mariappa
    CRYSTAL Palace boss Tony Pulis is hoping that Adrian Mariappa is fit to face Arsenal on Saturday after picking up an injury.

    The former Reading and Watford man travelled with the Eagles to face Augsburg on Saturday but Pulis didn’t want to risk the defender in the build-up towards the new Premier League season.

    “Mapps was struggling with a rib injury and we put him on the bench,” the manager told www.cpfc.co.uk.

    “I didn’t really want to take a chance with the game (against Arsenal) so close.

    “I am sure he will be all right.”

    Most of us wouldn't be playing our Palace defender GW1 anyway. Now to figure out whether it's a risk worth taking over Ward.

    Funny the way a lot of teams are playing 3 centre backs again. It obviously increases his chances of game time. He was playing the last European game so I'd expect him to start the first game anyway.

    At least that should deal with that quandary. I can't understand why Pulis have him so little time pre season though.

    I think I'll stick with what I have and can work him in later if needed. I wouldn't play him in GW1 anyway.

    Not sure how long Evans is out for but Tyler Blackett (4.5m) could be a decent short term punt. Only 191 people own him currently.

    Same with Reece James with Shaw injured.

    I'd imagine it'll be senior players to deputise

    With the United defence so unsettled I think not only is it hard to know who to go with but clean sheets might not be as certain as people think till they get a settled back line.

    Might do the Callum Chambers thing for a couple of weeks then take the best option from United.

    I'll probably end up with Hutton. I'm mainly looking towards GW2 as I may need to play my £4m defender instead of Debuchy. He sounds like he's nailed down a spot, even scored the other day although I wouldn't expect to see that again! Villa play Newcastle at home in GW2, and he seems the best £4m option ahead of Wisdom, Targett and Bruce. None of those three are nailed on imo.

    There is also a fantastic free Android app called FPL Wizard which is amazing for picking defensive rotation options.

    I think Tyler Blackett is going to start for united at the weekend. Been impressive pre season and evans is injured so other alternative, he is priced at 4.5 , should keep a clean sheet at home to swansea, but dont see him playing much beyond this weekend especially as united are buying rojo who plays in his position of lcb in a 3-5-2
