I have both but benching King. Would bench Sanchez over Lanzini though.Fuzz wrote:I have the same dilemma. I currently have Sanchez on the bench, but I'm not comfortable with it...Squall wrote:Do I bench Lanzini or Sanchez?

Re: Who to bench thread 2015/16
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.Canary94 wrote: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.MartyBhoy7 wrote: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.Canary94 wrote:Robles over Darlow. The extra game is key. In GW33 Robles scored 14 points from two away games.MartyBhoy7 wrote:At the moment I plan on playing :
Darlow over Robles ( I think he has a better chance of CS in one game than Robles in 2)
Sanchez over Lingard ( better chance of scoring even with one less game)
Simpson over Delaney and Bellerin.
Would anyone talk me out of those?
Other than that I think the other moves are tough but the best ones to make.
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.

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

Re: Who to bench thread 2015/16
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?

Re: Who to bench thread 2015/16
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.MartyBhoy7 wrote:I have the same two players and am playing Sanchez.Carlos Kickaball wrote:Here's a quick one for you, Sánchez (mci) or Lingard (nor,whu)?

Re: Who to bench thread 2015/16
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.Notned wrote:I'm currently benching Townsend in favour of playing Aguero, Kane and Mahrez. Is this crazy?
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.MartyBhoy7 wrote:Townsend is in great form and playing against an already relegated side so it's hard to justify benching him.

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.

Re: Who to bench thread 2015/16
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.

Re: Who to bench thread 2015/16
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.JoonaR16 wrote:Can't really decide my next round defence.

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

Re: Who to bench thread 2015/16
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.Multiple Scorgasms wrote:One of iwobi, hazard or Carroll.

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....

Re: Who to bench thread 2015/16
I need to bench 2 of Azpilicueta, Smalling, PVA and Cresswell.
Currently definitely playing Smalling, but unsure which other one to go alongside. (AOA).

Re: Who to bench thread 2015/16
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 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.
