I have the same dilemma. I currently have Sanchez on the bench, but I'm not comfortable with it...

I have both but benching King. Would bench Sanchez over Lanzini though.

Would anyone talk me out of those?
Robles over Darlow. The extra game is key. In GW33 Robles scored 14 points from two away games.

Other than that I think the other moves are tough but the best ones to make.
Everton's season is finished - they play a Leicester side in party mode who'll want to put on a show for their fans and then a Sunderland side fighting for survival, I think a clean sheet is unlikely in either game.

Everton's last DGW was against two sides with little to play for ahead of their FA Cup semi final.

Newcastle have everything to play for and are away at the worst side in the division.
Away games are perfect for save points, plus you have two opportunities for a CS. Leicester is not a great game but Sunderland could feasibly be 0-0. In theory that could look like 2/3 + 6 = 8/9 points. Villa have scored 4 in their last two games, and Newcastle have conceded 8 goals in their last 3 away games. That's under Benitez too. Just some food for thought.
The save points is a good point, I'm pretty undecided. Who's to say Howard doesn't come in for one of the games either.

Here's a quick one for you, Sánchez (mci) or Lingard (nor,whu)?

I haven't got the link but it was discussed that Howard would play the final two home games (last week and final week), of course there is still a risk but I'd be confident about two games from Robles.

I'd probably play Sanchez. Lingard might be nailed but his attacking output has been woeful for a while.

I'm currently benching Townsend in favour of playing Aguero, Kane and Mahrez. Is this crazy?

Interesting, in the end I've jettisoned Lingard because I think his place is under threat with Martial, Mata, Rooney and Rashford potentially making up the front four, however Tall Paul has heard a rumour Martial will miss out.

Townsend is in great form and playing against an already relegated side so it's hard to justify benching him. However, you can't really make a case against any of the three you're playing either.

It's a tricky spot.

Yep. Townsend has been an absolute star for me, but I really fancy Mahrez this week, and Aguero and Kane are Aguero and Kane.

Really wish I'd just kept and benched Sanchez.

I was looking through the GW37 team thread and when I saw everyone playing Robles over Darlow, I made a late switch.

Can't really decide my next round defence. I have De Gea in goal and these 5 defenders: Smalling(BOU), Bellerin(AVL), Cresswell(stk), PVA(wat) and Olsson(eve). First three of those are playing at the moment. Any suggestions? I think having two ManUtd defenders might be a bit risky but also benching Smalling seems wrong.

A decision I'm trying to make myself before transfering Bellerin for the benched player. Momentally thinking of ditching Cresswell seeing how bad their defence has been of late but may change my mind.

Bellerin againt a doomed Villa has got to be worth fielding surely?

One of iwobi, hazard or Carroll. Initially thinking iwobi as his demise started as soon as Ramsey came back.

I have these three too and I'm struggling, Guns v Villa should be a walk in the park but Iwobi not been so good from a PFP persepcivive lately. Carroll too had a blinding return but flat lately and Hazard although playing well and just netted is in a blow hot/cold team.

I will play Hazard because he is a quality coming to form but the other two; I don't know. And because Iwobi is worth little there isn't much scope to get rid of him either.

It's a headache for sure....

I'm benching Carroll in a similar-ish situation.

I need to bench 2 of Azpilicueta, Smalling, PVA and Cresswell.

Currently definitely playing Smalling, but unsure which other one to go alongside. (AOA).

I would bench Azp & Cress; awful pair IMHO. Smalling & PVA better bet and even though Paddy&co are safe Id pick him for this game 8-)

Have to bench 2 out of the 4...

Lanzini, Carroll, PvA, Gabriel

Leaving towards playing Gabriel and Lanzini, although I feel like PvA may be able to get something against a poor Watford team.

I have Gabriel and Bellerin and they're nailed on for me, as sure a CS bet as one can ever get. I think CS' are hard to predict in the final GW, but agree that PvA has potential.

I need to bench 2 out of these 6, any help appreciated.

PvA
Townsend, Mahrez, Willian
Lukaku, Defoe

I currently have PvA and Willian on the bench.

Can't argue with that. Willian is flagged isn't he, so could easily be a moot point if one of the kids comes in for him.

Not sure I would bother with Kak; I know it's only Norwich but he hasn't done anything for weeks.

Need to play one of Townsend, Noble, Simpson, Azpilicueta. Currently on Townsend, but it's a tricky one IMO.

Defoe or Lanzini? I'd start Defoe but I'm hearing Watmore will start.

In a similar position, having to choose between Defoe and Carroll. Wouldn't Watmore start on the wing?

Currently playing Bellerin (AVL) and Smalling (BOU) in defence. Need to play one more from:

PVA (WAT), Cresswell (STK) or Morgan (CHE)

Currently going with PVA. Sound right?

It does to me. I am going with the same three with Cresswell and Fuchs on the bench.
