    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

    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.

    Heaton
    Alonso Davies Yoshida
    Sanchez Alli King Zaha
    Aguero(c) Kane Lukaku

    Pickford Ward Prowse Holgate Chambers

    No hits and hoping this week will someway make up for last week's disaster.

    -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.

    I think Pva will start
    Other 2 are good moves which will pay the hit over the next 2 weeks

    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


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,821 ✭✭✭dr.kenneth noisewater


    De Gea
    Valencia-Stephens-Pieters
    Eriksen-Hazard-Sane-King-Zaha
    Kane(C)-Lukaku

    Heaton-Rashford-Holgate-Chambers

    No hits this week for a change, not confident about picking Kane as Capt.

    He may start ahead of zaha or Townsend in a more forward position

    Bench Alli or King?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 48,443 ✭✭✭✭km79


    Bench Alli or King?
    Neither need more options
    I'd bench Sanchez ahead of either .....

    Pickford.
    Alonso, valencia, brunt;
    AllI, coutinho, townsend, redmond;
    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.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 17,022 ✭✭✭✭Iused2likebusts


    Crazy to bench Sanchez imo.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 42,252 ✭✭✭✭Scorpion Sting


    Crazy to bench Sanchez imo.

    I think it's risky as it's a derby but Spurs have the best home defensive record in the league so if I had a strong front 8 I would consider benching him.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,962 ✭✭✭Hogey007

    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.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 48,443 ✭✭✭✭km79


    Crazy to bench Sanchez imo.
    I won't be
    But I think it's more crazy to be thinking of benching king or even Alli without even considering Sanchez
    Prices are irrelevant

    Sanchez > Alli this week and most weeks.

    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

    See my post above
    Kings ticks almost all those boxes too and has a better fixture
    I'm not benching Sanchez btw but also not expecting much out of him this week


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 33,709 ✭✭✭✭Cantona's Collars


    .............Hennessy..............

    Alonso......B Davies........Valencia

    Alli.....Sane.....Zaha......Hazard

    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.

    Pieters not starting for stoke is annoying for me


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 34,484 ✭✭✭✭CSF


    De Gea
    Blind Alonso Cedric
    Tadic Sanchez Zaha Hazard King
    Benteke Aguero (c)

    No hits. Absolutely humongous week for me. Up against what I'm sure will be a seriously tough Missing Links wildcard. All to play for.

    I second that. Brought him in as felt stoke were highly likely for a clean sheet and he's started pretty much every game. Just hope he doesn't make a cameo now. Maguire to sub in for him.

    Ah bollocks. Had to sub him in for Valencia who probably will be rested tomorrow.
