    Remembering who took me to the dance.

    Sergio El Capitán.

    Out: Lukaku, Negredo
    In: Aguero, Kane

    Going back to more sensible play with premium players after my Negredo(C) punt crippled me.

    DDG (Valdez)
    Alonso Blind Cedric/Bavies (Randall)
    Coutinho Sane Pedro Tadic Alli

    King (C) Sanchez Alli Sane

    Benteke Lukaku Kane

    Not yet 100% locked on King captain...hoping that a freescoring and swashbuckling Bournemouth will put Sunderland to the sword

    Busy day for me so I'm trying the MOTD challenge for the first time ever.
    A screamer from Brunt in his last week in my team would be so sweet....

    I think this one is fairly obvious but just want to double check.

    Who to bench out of these 3.

    Lukaku (Chelsea at home - league's top scorer & Chelsea haven't kept many clean sheets lately)

    Sane (boro away - slight rotation risk but if he plays could easily rack up 10+)

    Zaha (burnley at home - not done much since those 2 assists he slipped for but it is only burnley)


    I have Zaha benched. That's the correct call isn't it? I hadn't really thought about it too much but was then figuring lukaku isn't likely to score more than 1 goal, 2 maximum. Whereas palace could put in another 3 or 4 goals today.

    I'd actually bench Lukaku. He has a poor record against the top clubs. I watched Everton against West Ham last week and they were truly awful from an attacking perspective. They don't have much to play for while Chelsea are fully focused on the title. I sold him for Kun this week cos only a win for boro will suffice so they're bound to leave lots of gaps in defence.

    Going on form Zaha is right call but as you say Lukaku most likely won't have a goal fest whereas Palace could easily get 4. But isn't the quote "form over fixtures" I would bench Zaha.

    It's a tough one. Even there I've got 2 different answers and both make good points.
    I guess there is no real correct choice, it's going to be a call that could go eitherway.
    A lot more people around me own lukaku (or at least did up til this gameweek) so I wouldn't get as badly punished if I went with lukaku and he blanked but zaha did well. On the other hand I'm chasing a bit now and need to take a risk or 2, I can't see myself getting severely punished if I don't play lukaku (he's not going to get a hat trick) so in my current situation of chasing I'm leaning towards zaha.
    If I was leading I'd play it safe with lukaku.

    I'm in a similar position and have dropped Zaha. It's a tough one though, Lukaku's home form has been fantastic

    Same, Zaha or King, need to bench one.

    Looking like Zaha for now as King could hit a double digits score vs Sunderland. Sane could be rested but heard nothing bar FSA rumours on that though he did look wrecked the other night.

    I'd def play king over zaha in your position. King has the form & the fixture.
    The fear of a 1 pointer from sane off the bench is very small in my opinion but feck knows with pep, he's liable to do anything.

    King is the correct call the more I look at it and as far as Sane goes I guess that's the risk with City players now.

    For all those with king as part of a benching dilemma.........He shouldn't be in the conversation. He has brilliant form, on pens and is playing Sunderland???????
    Ignore price.
    Sanchez would be in my thinking before king at this point
    4 gameweeks left and king is playing them all for me as it stands
    He has become a play and forget player

    Do not bench Lukaku at home! All his goals come at home at Chelsea haven't kept a cleanie in 12 matches.

    Sane or Zaha - most likely Zaha who had done nothing in last 3 games

    Lukaku is also against the club that let him go, and the club he's auditioning for. I dont think he's captain material but benching him is very risky.

    I've decided to start lukaku based on this and the other comments. As was also pointed out, I have Benteke anyway.
    Lukaku has scored in his last 8 home games, 13 goals in those 8 matches. He may not score tomorrow but have to go with the odds.

    Zaha is 16/5 to score anytime so I'll stick a fiver on him as a consolation incase I get it wrong.

    -8.

    Fúck it. My season is kinda done. So why not?

    Randolph, PVA and Origi ---> Caballero, Blind and Gabbi.

    Caballero
    Blind Vertonghen Bertrand
    Alli Sanchez King Sané
    Lukaku Kane (c) Gabbiadini (vc)

    Subs: Grant Zaha Mee Chambers

    With my luck this season, PVA starts and scores, Zaha goes nuts and Blind gets dropped.

    Yeah, I've the same feeling about PVA. Schlupp has been excellent though so I can't be sure Sam will change a back 4 that's working so well. Also, I can't justify keeping PVA now he's a weekly rotation risk.

    The other 2 moves were utter no brainers really.

    Got rid of Pva this week as well, partly to free up funds for next week and also didn't want to risk having a player that may be on the bench.
    Saying that I won't be in the slightest bit surprised if he starts

    Pickford.

    Kane(c), benteke, gabbi.
    Heaton, sanchez, Holgate, Olsson.

    Feels sickening benching sanchez but I think Spurs will beat arsenal to nil.
    Feels dirty having him on the bench.

    Agree with busts. No way would I bench sanchez for redmond. Redmond didn't even start last week and if he does start ahead of boufal he's likely to be hauled off around the hour mark if he hasn't scored.

    Career stats are relevant. Sanchez is a goal every 2.5 games player . He could be starting up front and he is more than likely on pens. He is also the highest scoring player in the game

    I don't think there will be much between them this week as I'm expecting a very tight game
    My point is that a lot of people are throwing out just a straight choice between king and A N Other this week
    That's purely based on kings price
    I would not even consider benching him this weekend as I didn't last weekend
    The choices are really between the other mids but they are not been named or considered

    Lukaku.....Kane(C).......Rashford.

    Pickford.Cedric.Carroll.Amat.

    First time with no Arsenal cover but I simply can't see them getting anything at Spurs.
