    Definitely gonna drop unless he springs from the bench and grabs a goal or two. Have Sakho to come on for Bellerin, hopefully he gets a hat trick :)

    Were you playing 4 at the back? Otherwise, it will be a defender coming in for Bellerin.

    I'm praying for Payet here myself. And Taylor to come on for even a point.

    A lot of people hurting right now. I've Walcott captained, plus Coates' -1 coming off the bench for Bellerin to add to Courtois' -2.

    Honestly, it's just a case of sometimes you just think too much. You maybe do too much research. Walcott played great pre-season, and just signed a bumper contract, meaning that surely he'd start? Nope.

    If we'd just been logical, we'd have gone for Ozil or Ramsey, with Mert instead of Bellerin, but we tried to be smart. It backfired. We move on.

    Need Theo to start as have him as captain or preferably scoring sub.. No sign of Walters in Stoke team either.?
    Horrible start with only 23 points and 3 more to play

    Yea, one of the rare times I'd play 4 at the back.

    I still think Bellerin is a good choice. He's reportedly injured today, that's just crap luck.

    Not pushed about Walcott. He's primarily a money sink for Aguero in GW3 unless he went bonkers (and then I sell Ozil). He can still come on and score against a tired West Ham.

    Bellerin not starting is also good news for me as a number of rivals opted for him over Kos.

    Agreed, will keep him, put him on the bench next game. Walcott definitely out for me, not taking a risk on him.

    Bellerin a bummer. May be forced to change him for Mert now. Giroud starts though so happy on that front

    I have Ayew (10pts) to come off the bench if walcott stays out.

    Cos that'll happen...

    I think Bellerin is certainly first choice but a good game from Debuchy today will muddy the waters, most people (including on here) still felt that Debuchy would get significant playing time at the end of last year, nothing has changed. Debuchy is a very good player, he's the reason I dodged Bellerin for a start.

    I'll be monitoring Payet closely today. Could be gold. Starting on the left.

    So Bellerin and Walcott added to Bamford in not starting, absolute Tony Blair of a start
