Jesus I'm close to doing lukaku to Costa again !
sure tis an easy enough transfer to reverse anyway right ????

ElTel

Butland
Toby Berty Ward
Mahrez Payet Ozil (vc) KDB
Aguero (c) Vardy Lukaku

Henney Alli Sakho Ake

Hoping Vardy starts otherwise Alli is likely to mock me.

FHFC

I'm benching Alli. Done.

Payet a great differential if he does deliver. Mahrez protection in case he delivers.

Bellerin to Williams done too with 2nd ft.

Courtois
Williams. Souare. Toby
Mahrez, Ozil, Arnie, Payet.
Kane, Lukaku, Agüero (c)

Alli. Moreno. Evans.

I now have Payet benched with Alli and Arnie starting

Don't know what to do!

siblers

Butland
Zouma Delaney Smalling
Payet De Bruyne(c) Ozil Mahrez
Giroud Vardy Ighaloo

I have a bad feeling about leaving Toby on the bench and taking a big gamble on Vardy but I got a feeling that if he plays, he'll score.

Deffo a wait and see situation for me.

After getting burned by bringing Aguero back in early twice this season I should be in the same camp, but he was so impressive before he got the injury it's hard to look past. If West Ham get anything in this game and he's on the field, he'll play a part in it. And I'm fairly confident it'll stay that way for the rest of the season as long as he doesn't get injured again!

I know, I know. I've jinxed him now

Mr.Prodston

I've decided to do nothing and go with what I set up this time last week.

Theo on the bench though

I could be wrong, but I'd be more inclined to go with Bellerin. Liverpool missing a good few defenders. Arsenal marginally more likely to keep a clean sheet according to paddy power.

harpstilidie

Need help with 2 choices I think...Cresswell or Souare and Arnie or Alli?

Team is:

De Gea

Bellerin Toby Cresswell/Souare

Ozil Mahrez Payet Arnie/Alli

Aguero Kane Lukaku

Benimar

Back 4 could be Clyne, Caulker, Sakho and Moreno. With a midfield 3 of Lucas, Can and Henderson I don't think they will be too bad. Not saying they will get a CS but they won't be as leaky as some suggest.

That's a nice front 8. Do you have any better choices than Moreno at the back, not sure if he's likely to do this much this week.

What about those with the courage to try out the convictions of others while hiding theirs in the shadows of their heart

?

... bloody strong front 8 and bloody fit Lukaku :pac:...

I've gone with a 2-weeks Willian punt so must play him and bench one of Ozil KDB Alli Mahrez Kane Aguero Lukaku.
It's between Lukaku, Mahrez & Alli.

Mahrez is on a 2-3-1 run but was on 21-13-15 just before. And the 1 came from missing a pen. This happens. Had he scored he'd have been on 11 !!!
Alli is on great form.
Lukaku's coming back from injury.

Mahrez was rested in the Cup. Alli too and just came on for the last 15 min while Lukaku was recovering from his League Cup injury (a game home to City in which he scored... to make the decison easier :rolleyes: :pac:).

I've Lukaku on the bench right now but City's defense without Kompany and City unable to keep a CS lately... That said, at home (bar the 'Pool game) they only conceded once more than 1 goal (2 home to WH).

Aguero(c) Kane Lukaku
Mccarthy, Stanislas, Monreal, Dawson.

Went on a good run there for a while but forgot to update my team while i was away over christmas and slipped again last GW. Hopefully kick on now again. 2FT this week which was nice, still have the WC to prick about with but i dont really see much use for it at the minute

Look at it this way. If you take a risk and go for the option more likely to pay off big when things go your way, it's a great feeling. If it doesn't go your way, at least you had a go and took a chance.

If you play it safe and you've a 12+ pointer sitting on your bench because of a conservative approach, you'll be kicking yourself. Conversely if the player you've benched pulls a 1 pointer, you'll be feeling pretty smug about your shrewd move.

What's your worst case scenario? Would you rather take a chance and it fall flat on it's face, or play it safe and look at Payet's hat-trick staring you in the face every time you log in?

Mahrez is gonna kill you all.

Mr.Prodston

Bloody hell now I'm considering Yaya in for Ozil :pac:

I'd be happy to drop one of those defs. Can't see clean sheets there.

I'd definitely be more afraid of benching Lukaku vs that City defence.

With Mahrez vs Arnie or Payet its a tough call. Any one of them could score double figures.

Mahrez and Leicester have poor attacking form (and underlying stats to match in the last 3 games) and playing the tightest defence in the league with the third best home defensive record. Leicester have scored more away goals than anyone mind.

Arnie is on a superb run of form and playing the side with the 5th worst defence and the third highest number of goals conceded away. Hard to bench him IMO.

Payet has been confirmed as a 99% to start and has 2 x 25m appearances under his belt in which he has created a number of chances/attempted assists. Bournemouth have conceded in 7 of their 9 home games. Last 5 at home conceded 5, 1, 3, 1, 0.

Payet is probably the safest to bench really. But he's the differential and that's why I have him. Sword or shield??

I would bench Payet too.

I'm playing Arnie. Mahrez and Alli instead of Luke

Norwich is the game that I really brought Arnie in for.
Mahrez..... well, you never bench Mahrez
Alli is my spurs cover and I feel if there's goals in that game, he's a certainty to be involved

Lukaku - returning from an injury. He could get subbed early. I'm rationalizing it whatever way I can so it makes sense to me
