Have the same dilemma. Heart says play Yoshida, head (marginally!) says play Holgate.

Think I'll chance it and go Yoshida.
I've actually just sold Holgate for Ben Davies, I've gone tinkering crazy.

Sanchez, Hazard, Alli, King, Sane, Jesus, Kane or Gabbiadini.

Anyone any thoughts as currently have Sane on bench and it feels stupid.
I have the same front 8 and have Ali on the bench. I also feel stupid!

Who to bench?

T.Carroll (sun) Or
Anichebe (SWA, ars)

Leaning towards playing Carroll. Felt he was unlucky not to get more points last week. Swans need the win also.

Anichebe is the ultimate 1-2 point wonder , his form is amazingly bad .

Having said that I have a feeling I am gonna get lucky with him this week

Need to play two from Koscielny, Bailly, Yoshida.

Apparently, Koscielny has travelled to West Brom but is probably still a doubt but he might be worth picking even if just for the Sunderland game. Bailly will play both I am sure and no idea which Southampton will turn up. Any suggestions ...

Travelled to West Brom? He might have picked the wrong train then. :lol:

I'm guessing lots of you are in the same boat.

Cech (EVE) or Caballero (wat)?

I'm playing Cech

what about this lovely bunch?
Alonso (SUN), Monreal (EVE), Mawson (WBA), Yoshida (STK), Stephens (STK)

I'm definitely playing Alonso and Monreal, as for defender number 3 I have no idea, I might just do Stephens -> Matip (MID) and bench Mawson and Yoshida...

Well Pickford will get lots of save points .....Cech will probably see little action but quite feasible concede 1 , so tricky to me

Because he had a lot against Arsenal? I think he's more likely to concede two goals than make three saves.

Holding, Vertonghen, Stephens, Yoshida, King. Need to bench 2.

I'm thinking Holding and King. I usually hate benching attacking players and playing 2 defenders from the same team but Southampton have proven to be a valuable defensive asset these last few weeks and both Yoshi & Stephens are more than capable of delivering 9 points if they manage a clean sheet.

Leicester is supposed to be missing Morgan and Huth again. I wouldn't bench King.

Monreal and Davies are definite starters there, then it's a toss up. I'd probably play Mawson

Cheers. I guess I could have narrowed it down really and said Davies vs Clichy is the main dilemma.
