Changed captain to Salah last min. Hopefully it pays off

Sanchez
Dias Cresswell Mee
Bruno Maddison Grealish Salah
DCL Watkins Antonio (c)

Martinez Chilwell Gundogan Stones

Toss up between Sanchez/Martinez. I feel like Arsenal are more likely to nick a goal than Burnley.
Tough captaincy call, Antonio feels punty.

Probably the strongest bench I've had. Very tempted to play the BB but might wait for more DGW misery :pac:

Father Hernandez

First GW since GW6 not making a transfer. Feels weird.

Martinez

Stones, Cancelo, Coufal, Chilwell (still getting rid next week but hoping for agoodbye present)

Grealish, Salah, Sterling, Fernandes (C), Soucek

Bamford

Subs: DCL, Holding, Brewster

GL all.


EDIT: Swapped Chilwell in for DCL on the off chance he plays. Hope I don't regret it.

Newbie20

Cavani Bamford

Bench is DCL,Dias & Ogbonna

Dubh Geannain

I'm starting Foden and Werner. Captained Antonio and benched Gundog.

Probably one of my more nervy team selections in a few weeks.

Klonker

Kane and Salah to Bamford and Rashford with my 2FT this week.

This week I will mostly regret benching.....Gundogan, didn’t have the balls to bench Salah or Son, already regretting it.

Grealish,Salah, Son, Fernandes (c),
Ings, Antonio, Bamford
Subs
Forster, Gundogan, Coufal, Ayling

Tipsy McSwagger

I’ve captained Son, pray for me.

Father Hernandez

Quick scan looks like it might be the strongest GW in terms of benches. Include myself in that with DCL.

Could be a lot of regrets post GW.

Mike Ehrmantraut

Some very strong bench’s and different captains around the place, should make for an interesting gw

Martinez
Cancelo, Coufal, Justin
Fernandes, Gundogan, Grealish, Salah, Son
Antonio(c) Bamford

Johnstone, Vardy, Mee, Stones

Should be an interesting week if nothing else.

What would people rather have, a weak bench or regrets for benching a strong player? I’d rather the latter.

Father Hernandez

Aston Villa XI: Martinez; Targett, Mings, Konsa, Cash; McGinn, Nakamba; Grealish, Barkley, B Traoré; Watkins.

Douglas Luiz, El Ghazi on the bench

Arsenal XI: Ryan; Cedric, Gabriel, Holding, Bellerin; Xhaka, Partey; Pepe, Smith Rowe, Saka; Lacazette.

Aubameyang, Odegaard on the bench

Thats why I've gone BB. Fingers crossed

Haven’t they introduced this substitution for head injuries thing? Could be tested here.

You are joking! Was debating Watkins or Bamford as captain. Literally changed last minute!

gammygils

I hate Watkins. Have Holding 3rd sub. Might be a good call

Cartman78

Took a hit that I'm already regretting...

Martinez

Lowton | Dias | Coufal

Salah | Maddison | Gundogan | Bruno | Grealish

Bamford | Antonio (C)

Subs: DCL | Robertson | Stones


How's Grealish playing so far? He's still a differential sorta in my leagues.

As usual, it's looking like Bruno and Son could destroy my GW....really need some haulage from Captain Anto

dsmythy

Half time

Even Martinez might struggle for a save point in this one.

Iused2likebusts

That Watkins run of points over 8 gws before new year was as unlucky a run as I've had on a player in all my time playing this game. Glad I stuck with him.

Not an owner (was planning on getting in GW20 but other fires..) but delighted for him, seems a decent lad and an exciting player.

Fitz*

No transfers

Martinez
Lowton Taylor Coufal Chilwell
Saka Maddison Soucek Salah (c)
Watkins Firmino

McCarthy Lacazette Stones Sterling

Hoping for a lot of differentials this week with Salah c, double Burnley defence (if Taylor plays), and no City.

I’m hoping he struggles for a clean sheet. Seems to be in every second team I see and I went for Mendy instead of him.

ElTel

Mings in with a block at the last second to deny ESR from 10 yards.

Fitz*

Lacazette off pre 60.

PEA on

First game I haven’t started him since gw2, wouldn’t mind an Arsenal goal. But I’ve backed Villa!

Father Hernandez

Martinez save point.

crushproof

As usual it seems Watkins should have had a hat trick by now

He’s hitting Michu levels of FPL legend.

Should of just left him in the team instead of getting Pope in
