Gameweek 31 Matchday Thread

Scorpion Sting

Schmeichel
Williams Janmaat Dawson
Sanchez Siggy Mahrez (v) Payet
Aguero Lukaku Kane (c)

Butland - Alli van Dijk Daniels


2 transfers made, Janmaat and Lukaku in for Dier and Vardy. This week's benching dilemma sees Alli dropped. Best of luck all.

Paully D

Elliot
Dier Fuchs Williams
Mahrez Ozil Silva Alli
Kane(C) Lukaku Aguero
Subs: Forster, Bellerin, Kompany (inj), Stanislas (inj)

The only tough decision for me this week was to go with Fuchs or Bellerin. I've followed the bookmakers.

spock.

Elliot
Ivanovic Williams Otamendi
Mahrez Siggy(c) Firmino Alli
Vardy Aguero Kane
(DDG - Silva Fuchs Daniels)

Transfer banked.
Going with Siggy over Kane(c), Alli over Silva, and Otamendi over Fuchs. 2 out of 3 right will do.

FHFC

Dreamt I benched Siggy ny mistake. Woke up and had to check team first thing. Events of last week have left scars.

carnie

To play ozil or not to play ozil that is the question..

I'm thinking about benching him in favour of siggy, payet, Ali and mehrez..

you have gone Eliot over forster ? that's currently my thinking too but everyone is tipping goals and pool could be tired in the other game q

Lloris
Simpson, Dawson
Mahrez, Ozil, Payet, Siggy, Alli
Kane (c), Aguero, Vardy

McCarthy, Woolscheid, Francis, Kompany

Only 7 GWs after this, of which 3 will be used for WC, BB and TC, so this week is as good as any for AOA.

Double Chelsea defence! What have I done!

extra gravy

Should I go double Southampton defence or play Charlie D instead?

caviardreams

Guys why are so many benching Alli? Injury risk or anything? Currently benching Arnie instead.

SantryRed

Guys, went with two punts this week and brought in Siggy and Wijnaldum so they both really need to play.

I need to pick 7 from:

Wijnaldum (SUN), Alli (BOU), Mahrez (cry), Sigurdsson (AVL), Payet (che), Vardy (cry), Kane (BOU), Aguero (MUN)

I'm currently on a toss up between Payet and Vardy. THoughts?

jimmii

I'm super dollard and wouldn't consider siggy or wij punts this week!

There could be rotation after the Europa plus his home returns aren't great. I'm going to play Arnie over him I think even though his away returns aren't great.

Icaras

Went all out attach. Think Everton will beat arsenal so no ozil or bellirin for me. Lukoil, Vardy and Kane upfront, soggy as captain.

Butland
Alder Morgan Daniels
Mahrez Alli Payet Siggy
Aguero Lukaku Kane (C)

Hart Ozil Wollescheid Targett

Just sold Ighalo and brought in Lukaku.

Tough decision to put Ozil on the bench but his last 2 GWs have been blanks.

Thanks - saw he was subbed off after 70 in the EL so took that as a sign he was being rested for Sunday. So hard to know though.

It's a tough call either way - good luck with Arnie

I see you are going with Daniels over Wolly - I am currently the opposite as I fancy Spurs to be tight enough at the back. Might swap them though after seeing this!

SteelyDanJalapeno

Siggy captain punt anyone else?

extra gravy

Shawcross is out this weekend so that lessens the appeal of Wolly too.

spock.

Yep.
Don't think I consider it a punt though.

Icaras

Have Dawson as my first sub with ozil second and allie playing. Anyone have any opinions? Dawson is 75% chance of playing but if he does they should keep a clean sheet again Norwich is my logic.

I have these starting like you, but I've still thinking about it but I'll probably go with those 7.

Alli (BOU), Mahrez (cry), Sigurdsson (AVL), Payet (che), Vardy (cry), Kane (BOU), Aguero (MUN)

see below. It's tempting to bring in Otamendi or Aranautavic but not sure who to drop. Azpil maybe?

Didn't know that - thanks extra! Just swapped Wolly to the bench so.

Surely you could play Dawson over one of your other defenders?

Don't blame me when they get an unexpected clean sheet now :pac:

Everything I've read points to Dawson starting.

Swapped Dawson for allie. ..I've a good feeling about this which usually means things are going to go terribly wrong.

Necronomicon

Forster
Simpson Dier Williams
Sanchez Payet Eriksen Mahrez
Aguero Lukaku Kane

Cech, Sakho, Daniels, Wanyama

I might end up with a last minute defensive change but that's what I'm going for right now.

bantee

Wolly or VVD to start today lads?

Mr.Prodston

De Gea
PVA - Dawson - Fuchs
Khazri - Alli - Mahrez - Siggy
Lukaku - Kane - Aguero (c)

Elliot: Arnie - Daniels - Morgan

I'm working under the assumption that Spurs score for benching Daniels and Sunderland score for starting De Gea over Elliot. I was tempted to sell Elliot for a 2 week keeper punt though.
