Only difference in our defence second keeper ,what are the odds

GetWithIt

A disproportionate number of point hits noted so far. Anyone have visibility on the average?

ItsChecoTime

Pity you can't play both keepers as both Heaton and Foster would be starting ahead some of my other defenders this week!

Gone with

Subs: Capoue. Stones. Nyom.

Still tempted to switch Lamela and Capoue...

LightningBlue

Going with a 4-4-2 after taking a -8 to take out Aguero, Gray, Barkley for Lukaku, Barkley and Diomande.

Slightly annoyed Gray managed to dodge a ban after making the transfer after the end of last GW. Would have been ideal today.

Also taking a punt on MNF Lukaku captain against Sunderland

Pickford, Capoue, Lamela, Amat

Taking a few punts there, most significantly captaining Sanchez who may not even start, but my main rival is around 50 points ahead now and is a cracking player so if I don't take punts he won't be caught and I know he doesn't have Alexis.

I am also benching Lamela as numerous places are suggesting he'll be left out as he only got back yesterday and they want to give Sissoko a start after his big money move.

Honestly I wouldn't worry about that 50 point lead, no matter how good he is. Keep doing your thing, making the logical decisions that we see frequently in your posts and you're looking at less than 1.5 points to make up a week.

Only go with Sanchez as captain if he'd be your number 1 pick in a vacuum IMO.

Mr.Prodston

Heaton
Valencia - Friend - McAuley
Ozil - Mirallas - Townsend - Hazard (c)
Zlatan - Vardy - Costa

Jaku: Capoue - Souare - Amat

I miss Aguero already

Also compromising on Sanchez with Ozil and therefore captaining Hazard all because of Costa seems like a halfway house destined to fail.

4 weeks in and I still have 2 of my favourite toys in Mirallas and Townsend though, so it's not all bad

After a week away and resisting the wildcard, I'm ready to welcome this madness back into my life. And this is the team I'm going with.

Foster
Valencia - Friend - Mee
Mahrez - Hazard - Redmond - Sanchez(c)
Zlatan - Benteke - Gray

Pickford - Capoue - Souare - Amat

Not a team I want long term and more than a few punts but hopefully a good week. Sanchez(c) could go either way, but confident enough nonetheless.

mdwexford

Didn't wildcard but was tempted.

Foster

Shaw - Stones - Terry

Hazard (c) - Silva - Tadic - Redmond

Ibra - Costa - Wilson

Rikand

Another wildcard resistor here.

Hennessy
Evans - PVA - Shaw - Simpson
Redmond - Hazard(c) - Capoue - Drinkwater - Mahrez
Ibra

No hits cause I've been on holidays and have hardly looked at my team

iroced

Non WCer here too.
Did Aguero + Townsend -> Sanchez + Negredo with my 2 FTs.

Foster
Valencia McAuley Stones/Friend
Hazard (C) Sanchez (VC) Barkley Lamela
Ibra Negredo Gray
Jaku ; Capoue, Friend/Stones, Amat

Just unsure whether to play Stones and hope for a 0-0 in the Manchester derby or play Friend and count on his attacking potential...

Glad to see you kept the faith in Heaton.

Heard Martial was benched so managed to swap him for Capoue who was on my bench. Phew.

WC think I made a bollix of it, not confident at all
Heaton
Valencia(at least he starts), Gibson, Baines
Sanchez. Cazorla,Milner, Hazard
Vokes,Ibra,Lukaku
Foster, Capoue, Souare, Kingsley

Necronomicon

Right...I don't think I've ever felt less convinced by a WC in all my years playing the game. Activated it but haven't given much time to the game over the international break. I have a feeling I will be tearing things up and wishing for a second chance in a few weeks. But how and ever...

Foster
Evans--Smith--Friend
Hazard--Sanchez(c)--Sterling--Lamela
Costa--Ibra--Benteke

Pickford, Capoue, Kone, Amat

Costa gets the armband if Sanchez doesn't make it. Will be anxiously awaiting line-ups for both Arsenal and Spurs.

FutureGuy

Lads. 1129, added Bolaise instead of Puncheon.

1130 tried to get him back in. Website hung.

I'm sitting here not knowing who I have.

This rush in feeling :-D

Also, am only person in my minileague to wc.

boll0cks.

Looking at the teams posted already most are starting redmond and benching Capoue whereas I've benched Redmond and started Capoue

I've both in my starting 11, therefore both will blank so don't worry.

manual_man

Can't get my head around Blind starting ahead of Smalling again. Smalling was by far and away their best def last season.

P.S. Anyone take a punt on Itchy Nacho?

Blind has been excellent this year. Reads the game well and is good on the ball. I think he compliments Bailly better than Smalling does.

Iused2likebusts

A few tweaks to my wildcard last minute.
Im sticking with a 4 3 3. Going all in on Arsenal.
Cech
collins evans valencia williams
sanchez ozil hazard
gray lukaku ibra

Hoping my back 4 all keep their place and remain fit as im happy to play them all for the next four weeks.
Armband is on sanchez.

They were never likely to change the defence on the back of 2 consecutive clean sheets.

Game updated already, impressive how quickly that is happening this year.

They conceded in the first game (Smalling suspended) though. Smalling on bench for the next game. Maybe it just is a case of Bailly/Blind working well as a partnership
