Who to bench thread 2015/16

[d_manager]

I'm not taking the risk on Targett. I think Betrand will get a start today but just my opinion. no concrete info. Playing Richards instead. Kolarov, Darmian, Richards is my defence this week.

[timao1]

I am thinking of benching Mahrez - in favour of playing
Payet
Sánchez
Pedro
De Bruyne
Wilson
Ighalo
Agüero

Am I mad?

No I think that could be a shrewd move as I only expect 2 points from Mahrez today.

Hi all,

I'm struggling with my best 11 this gw. Would you make any changes here?

I'd play AOA whilst you have a decent opportunity and bench Reid .

Maybe Myhill? WBA is always a cs potential. On the other hand CP has good fluid attacks. But personally, i dont trust Stoke at all...

What about my team?

Looks good to me

[Aar0n_28]

I need to bench either Redmond or Martial. Even as a Norwich fan, i'm happy to play both Vardy and Mahrez.

Is it completely ridiculous to bench Martial?

[cesc408]

Need to Bench 1 of the following

Evans - Palace (A)
Jagielka - Liverpool (H)
Ayew - Spurs (H)

Leaning towards Jagielka because of Everton injuries at the back

[Hotstepper]

I would agree with that. Reasonable chance of Pullis whipping a clean sheet out his team this weekend after 3 at home to Everton... Can see Sturridge scoring again this weekend v Everton.... Ayew off form a little, but very capable of getting back among the points home to Spurs

Cheers. Thinking pretty alike. We all know what WBA are like, especially away from home. Palace ain't smashing goals in left right and centre and don't have that dominant ST so can see them being strong and getting that CS.

Ayew well he's done very well early on, dried up a little but at home to Spurs I don't think I can afford to leave him on the bench. Now iv noted all of this it seems a pretty easy choice. Just hope Jagielka doesn't score

IF United turn up and play half decent football I can't see him not being involved in the points somewhere. I don't think that's such a big IF this season either.
Probably even better chances if Koscielny is out.

I will be playing him.

I need to choose between Gomis and Ayew for the bench in my team.
I think Gomis makes way this week.

Away to Arsenal. As an Arsenal fan I don't trust us defensively, and have opted out of having a Arsenal defender for FF. Arsenal will attack and push numbers forward, Including the full backs, which always leaves us exposed if the ball is lost.

Utd will probably play counter attack, with Martial the no.9 in the team. He will get space in this game. Would easily play him over Redmond.

[tommyk7]

I am considering benching Martial as well (for Hoolahan)

Last three of ManU v. ARS have been:

May17 2015, 1-1 Draw @ Old Trafford (Prem) (Herrera, Blackett OG)
Mar 9 2015, 2-1 ARS wins @ Old Trafford (FA Cup) (Rooney, Monreal, Welbeck)
Nov 22 2014, 2-1 ManU wins @ Emirates (Prem) (Giroud, Gibbs OG, Rooney)

[Hotstepper]

AOA chip already played. Need to bench one of...

KDB - Pedro - Payet - Mahrez - Hoolahan
Aguero - Martial - Sakho

Leaning a little towards Sakho, but can see a case for Hoolahan or Martial.

I'm stuck !!! Anyone able to offer me some wisdom?

If u don't play Sakho against Sunderland when are you planning to do it? Crazy to bench him.

I would bench Hoolahan over Martial answering your question

Thanks. Just worried about Hoolahan having one of his great games, and feeling I'm crazy to have ignored him at home. Whoever I choose its going to (a) worry me, and (b) unlikely to turn out to be correct

+1.

Don't think Hoolahan is 100% nailed either, which is another thing to consider. In any case, I would play either of the other two ahead of him.

Sakho has to play. Would probably bench Hoolahan

[sstaffsw]

Goalie dilemma... would you play Cech at home to Man U or play Butland away at Villa?

[Hotstepper]

Hoolahan, you're OUT!!

[payetme]

bench ighalo or redmond

tough decision for me

[HQ Manoeuvre]

Play one of...

Richards (STOKE)
Evans (palace)
Gayle (WBA) by using AOA (the almost worthless chip)

Ta.

[cesc408]

Goalie dilemma... would you play Cech at home to Man U or play Butland away at Villa?

Tough call. Would probably play Cech purely because of Stokes poor form.

[tommyk7]

Ta.

Use chips for double weeks only!

I would play Evans.

[Notned]

Feels nice to not have any benching dilemmas this week, for once!

But then I remember that's because my bench consists of two non-starting defenders, a keeper that appears to have lost his place, and Ashley Westwood

[HQ Manoeuvre]

Richards (STOKE)
Evans (palace)
Gayle (WBA) by using AOA (the almost worthless chip)

I would play Evans.

AOA wouldn't make much difference on the doubler. I probably won't be carrying 8 genuine attacking options for much longer. I might even go all season without using AOA...

[sstaffsw]

Tough call. Would probably play Cech purely because of Stokes poor form.

Thanks, will go with that.

Reid being yellow flagged, although it doesn't sound serious, has led me to this:

Thanks all for the advice.

[Sammy the Crab]

Bench Ayew or Gomis?
