Re: Who to bench thread 2015/16
Anyone on ?
Pick one to play ?
Azpilicueta (ARS)
Koscielny (che)
Targett (MAN U)
If I go with Targett, it leaves a lot of money on the bench, Or alternatively give up on Azpilicueta and transfer in someone else ?

Targett or Huth as first sub?
Opinions appreciated!

Re: Who to bench thread 2015/16
Thanks, I have been following this thread all week, but the Pedro flag going from red to orange yesterday changed everything, as did the persistent rumours starting yesterday that Gomez will be dropped this GW. And I didn't see anyone else asking Butland or McCarthy. Thanks for readingNoEyeDeer wrote:t88 wrote:Got a dilemma in goal and defence - Who to bench:
Bench Schmeichel (away at Stoke) or McCarthy (away at Spurs)
Bench 1 out of: Darmian (away at SOU), Targett (home vs MUN), Richards (home vs WBA)
Any suggestions?Fellas, regarding your defenders, if you read this thread you'll notice that on numerous occasions the same question has been asked and answered numerous times with some quite good responses for and against starting those exact three defenders.timao1 wrote:Bench ONE of Pedro, Targett, Gomez, Richards?
Currently have Targett benched but wary that Pedro may come on for a 1 pointer 20 minute cameo if Chelsea need a goal. Also rumours flying around that Gomez doesn't start this weekend either.
And in goal, Butland or McCarthy? Butland clearly has a better fixture but I have Mahrez which would give me a defence vs attack situation.
Reading is good exercise for the brain, so challenge yourself to read further back than 1 page within this thread. You may be pleasantly surprised by the wealth of information you may uncover, and even possibly find the answers to the wisdom you seek.

Re: Who to bench thread 2015/16
That's a tough one. If I have a 50/50, or in your case a 33/33/33 dilemma, I would probably just check the bookies clean sheet odds and go with that. Personally I wouldn't worry about how much money is on the bench.redcat1 wrote:Anyone on ?

I have the same keepers and went McCarthy. I think CP will dominate possession, and Kane is still looking starved of chances. Leicester will score a couple against Stoke guaranteed, whilst I'm backing CP to get an unlikely CS.
I transferred Pedro out for Coutinho if that helps.

Re: Who to bench thread 2015/16
A question for you all... I've changed my mind 10 times.
Who would you bench this weekend out of:
André Ayew (away at Southampton)
Callum Wilson (away at Stoke)
?

Both are having really good seasons so far, so it's a tough call, but bench Ayew for me. Wilson is in good goalscoring form, and Stoke haven't looked particularly solid defensively.Buxton wrote:A question for you all... I've changed my mind 10 times.

Should I bench one of Williams/Kolarov to play Diouf (if he is declared fit)?

Re: Who to bench thread 2015/16
Naughton (sou)
Francis (sto)
Gomez (AVL)
Targett (SWA)
Which two to play alongside Kolarov?
Should be a straightforward decision on paper with only two of them nailed, but I am assuming Gomez either starts or doesn't feature at all (and has the best fixture of the four)?

Well I also have Aguero upfront and in midfield I have Payet, Sánchez, Mahrez, Pedro and De Bruyne. My fault really for changing my formation to 3-5-2.

That is really tough, and I certainly wouldn't be wanting to bench any of the midfielders either! Looks as though AOA could be the way to go, depending on your defence.loosecannon85 wrote:Well I also have Aguero upfront and in midfield I have Payet, Sánchez, Mahrez, Pedro and De Bruyne.

Dawson, Rondon, Deeney?
(I also have Sagna on the bench, but as I have Kolarov too, not sure if going with two Man City defenders is a good choice against Spurs)

Re: Who to bench thread 2015/16
Who to bench this GW? Martin Away against West Ham (Playing against a very attacking team but Martin can always score) or Targett Home against Swansea (What i'm afraid is that in the last game Targett was subbed with just 45 minutes what was really really bad). Any thoughts?

Need to play two from Wanyama, Richards, Targett, Gomez? Obviously only two are nailed on.
Also, play Butland against Wilson, or avoid the situation by playing McCarthy?

And Butland is against Wilson but McCarthy is against the amazing monster Ighalo. I would go for Butland who has a better defensive line and also is playing home. Ighalo is going to score a hat-trick this week
