    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:

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

    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.

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

    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

    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.

    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.
