Greetings all.

Need to bench one of Stanislas (Watford H), Phillips (Sunderland H), Lallana (Swansea H) or Defoe (West Brom A).

Any takers?

I know :(

You can add Eriksen to that list too if that makes it easier (which I don't think it does).

Still undecided between Alli (mcy), Stanislas (WAT), Phillips (SUN) - Those playing are Sanchez, Pedro, Giroud, Zlatan, Aguero.

Currently benching Alli as I just feel he is least likely to get a haul with the fixture.

I would not be benching Alli, given his potential to do significant damage, combined with how weak City looked at the back last week. It would probably be Phillips for me, but no real reason, just a gut feeling.

Unfortunately wasted it earlier in the season otherwise I would be using it. Playing Baines, Yoshida and Daniels.

I have:

Bellerin
Baines
Brunt
Daniels
Chambers

My instinct is to play the three B's but FFF is recommending I bench Baines & Brunt :shock:

Does this make sense to anyone?

It's a poor algorithm then; they are more likely to play than not play and if they don't they get subbed. Seems a very unsophisticated bit of code if it can't deal with the mechanics of the game.

that's really tough, I 'd definitely play Bellerin and Brunt, and I'd be tempted to play Daniels above Baines. Everton are playing well but in recent away games they have shipped two v Hull and three v Watford, I think Palace will score and I think Daniels can match his attacking potential so I'd bench Baines and Chambers.

That's an interesting perspective Gambit ,thank you, I will have to consider carefully.

Thanks to tarkens too; it's a cunundrum for me.

It looks like a good transfer so the issue has to be the hit. They both have a decent fixture this week from a strikers perspective so it has to be about whether Lukaku will score 4 more than Negredo. I'm not sure whether he will but as the Toffees have just hit their season defining run and whether the math tells us whether he will earn +4 or not probability suggests he ought to earn a bit more so I would go for it
as it avoids having to do it when Negredo's fixtures go down hill.

looking at various bookmakers and Bournemouth are around 7/5 for the clean sheet and Everton 15/8
for goal scorer Daniels is 4/1 and Baines 6/1

Obviously this doesn't take into account assists/bonus but Daniels is shorter odds than Baines for both a clean sheet and a goal

to be fair their fixtures go down hill only from GW33, until then they only have 2 tough games... the problem is Negredo only had 13 shots on target in 20 apps :shock: this is shocking for a striker

Yea but he's a wildcard in that respect; his conversion rate is not too shabby. There are lots of stats about shots on target and opportunities and so on but unless they result in goals does this matter? It does in the first few weeks but less as the season goes on.
