Who To Bench Thread 2014-15

With a backline of Terry/Clyne/Rose/PvA/Hutton which 3 do you play?

I'm leaning towards Terry/Clyne/Rose

Though i doubt Tottenham keeps a CS vs Stoke.

I think I would play hutton at home to W. Ham for sure. For me Terry/Hutton and then whoever you think has a better chance of attacking returns out of Rose or Clyne. I don't figure either for a CS.

Hutton only played 10 minutes in the last match. Think he'll play at least 60 against West Ham?

I thought he was coming back from a knock but could be wrong. I would ask Gazwood if you don't know anyone else that is in the know for Villa

Pick 3 from Ivan (LIV) /Skrtl (che) /Schlupp (SOU) /PvA (eve) /Duff (hull)

Currently on Ivan/Skrtl/Schlupp but may swap Duff for Skrtl.

Ivan, Schlupp, PVA.

Ivan, Schlupp, Duff for me.

Would be surprised to see either Duff or PVA keep a clean sheet, so I'd edge towards PVA for the attacking potential. Would expect Sunderland to really go for it now, so expect to see him bombing forward a fair bit.

I agree with PVA bombing forward but it is Sunderland and they are playing at Goodison where they haven't given up a goal in four games. Sunderland has the second lowest goals scored tally in the league. So I think I would take my chances on Burnley in a game that they must win to avoid relegation. To be honest its not as if either of them are great choices. And besides once Ivanovic is benched the other one will come on to play anyway.

+1 because of PVA's attacking threat although you could also make a case for Duff.

My dilemma - Albrighton (SOT) or Mane (lei)? Albrighton has the form and home advantage but Mane is the better player (even if he has been trolling my team) playing against a side which has kept 3 clean sheets from the last 4 games. Any help appreciated

Need to play 2 out of Dawson (new), Hutton (WHU), PVA (eve) or Wollscheid (TOT) ?

I'd forget about Hutton for fear of Bacuna keeping his place (and Hutton making a sub appearance like last week).

I would definitely play Dawson given Newcastle's dreadful form.

Close between the other two. I'd maybe just lean Wollscheid with the home fixture against a Spurs team that haven't been on top form recently.

[MartyBhoy7]

Wasilewski or McAuley?

I currently have Wasilewski starting. Although Newcastle are a mess I still see them scoring here and Wasilewski got me 10 points last week and will be more motivated than Southampton.

[Hereford FC]

Should I go for Rooney or Benteke up front today?

[scarletjim]

Note sure whether to play Ramsey or Wasilewski? Normally it would be Ramsey obviously, but I'm nervous he might start in the bench and come on for the last 10 mins for a run about... Meanwhile, my main SL opponent has Wasilewski and I suspect will play him. (We are currently exactly level on points!)

[sstaffsw]

Should I bench Myhill (new) or Schmeichel (SOU)?

I'd definitely start Ramsey. I think he'll either start or be left at home.

Even if he does sub on it will likely be because Arsenal need a goal in which case you've still got a chance of him picking up points.

[scarletjim]

Yep that's the same conclusion as I reached. With one extra point - even if he comes on for 10 mins and does nothing, at least it should mean he will play in the DGW. Thanks.

Good advice. I started him for similar reasons. Got a feeling I could do with a Boydinho performance this week though!

[thekrumcake]

I benched Schmichel for Davis, who luckily spent the game on the real life bench. Phew

Glad to see you getting a more fortunate auto-sub than last week

Who did you end up playing mate? Looks like your decision was vindicated either way if you went Duff or PVA. Always nice when a decision doesn't come back to haunt you!

[MurfDawg]

Advice appreciated on Duff (STO) or Morgan (sun) ?

[RidleyMTB]

Tough call. I'd go with the bookies clean sheet odds;

Duff 2/1
Morgan 11/5

[RidleyMTB]

Play one of these;

Ivanovic (I also have Terry playing)
Skrtel
Henderson (I also have Coutinho playing)

[swadd1er]

Schlupp (6) and Henderson (7) on my bench this week. Any chance of Bellerin getting a spot on the bench tonight?

[ctibbits]

Play one of these;

Ivanovic (I also have Terry playing)
Skrtel
Henderson (I also have Coutinho playing)

Skrtel for me...hell of a defence there though. Why not play Terry, Ivan and Skrtel?

I've also got PVA, who I want to play this week.

Outfield players locked in this week; Terry, PVA/Silva, Sanchez, Coutinho/Kane,Aguero,Giroud

So actually, it's play 2 from those three

Ahhh, well then I would play Skrtel and Henderson then. Tough call though to be certain.

[Detroit City FC]

Skrtel(CRY) or PVA (LEI/ars). If PVA would you take a hit to bring him in?
