Who To Bench Thread 2016/17

[IceCreamFirm]

Who to start: McAuley, Gray or Capoue?

I've got Foster, so it would be a double baggie block. Also have JT for a mild conflict at the bridge. Struggling with this one.

Currently starting Gray over Capoue and Evans.

Would you play AOA and Capoue over risking Friend/Evans not starting? If they both don't start I've got Amat vs Leicester. Problem is that if Friend does play I reckon he's more likely for points than Capoue.

Foster
Stones Valencia
Hazard Mahrez Redmond Lamela Capoue
Aguero Gray Ibra

Bench: Jak Friend Evans Amat

Btw you need to update your FPL button.

Cheers, just done it!

Play one of McAuley (MID), Capoué (ARS) or Snodgrass (MUN).
Currently playing McAuley as fourth defender.

[nufctoon]

Should I go with Capoue (ARS) or Amat (lei) as my first sub? Currently favoring Capoue.

I'm currently starting Chambers over Friend (wba) who probably won't play and Amat (lei). Is it a mistake as it's very likely that Holding starts rather than Chambers? It would be once again devastating if Amat sits on the bench with a 6 pointer and Chambers makes a cameo appearance. Really annoyed that I went with Chambers rather than Holding on friday last week.

What about AOA?

Bench Chambers, Friend and Amat. Start Capoue and hope that Coutinho plays. It would look like this:

Valdés (wba)
Stones (WHU) - McAuley (MID)
Hazard (BUR) - Coutinho (tot) - Deulofeu (STK) - Redmond (SUN) - Capoue (ARS)
Agüero (WHU) - Ibrahimovic (hul) - Costa (BUR)

Jakupovic (MUN); Chambers (wat), Friend (wba), Amat (lei)

EDIT: Went with the AOA in the end. Coutinho starts!

[Notned]

Got drunk last night and missed deadline, so Evans over Stones it is.

[Owsler]

Bench Gray (HUL) or Capoue (WHU)

Currently playing Snodgrass, Sanchez, Hazard, Mane

[brencarr]

Bench Gray (HUL) or Capoue (WHU)

Currently playing Snodgrass, Sanchez, Hazard, Mane

If Gray is available I'd play him - may be banned by then though. .... now has a personal hearing on Monday so is available this weekend (but I suspect he will then be missing for a while)

[LamebrainEddy]

Bench Gray (HUL) or Capoue (WHU)

Currently playing Snodgrass, Sanchez, Hazard, Mane

Play the AOA chip?

I am this week

[gallus]

Bench Redmond, Capoue or Benteke?

[TheBigLewandowski]

Bench 2 from Terry/Shaw/Evans/Friend/Amat?

Currently have Friend and Amat benched, in that order.

[Owsler]

Bench Gray (HUL) or Capoue (WHU)

Currently playing Snodgrass, Sanchez, Hazard, Mane

Play the AOA chip?

I am this week

cheers brencarr, and the AOA chip isn't a bad shout.

[Paulista]

I'll need to bench one of Redmond (ars), Evans (bou), Souare (mid).

Currently benching Redmond, but I seem to have fallen into a trap of playing 4-3-3 for the third week in a row, benching Redmond, then Gray, and now Redmond again, which really isn't what I wanted to do especially with Souare as my so far useless 4th defender.

[Weisenwolf]

Bench Redmond, Capoue or Benteke?

I have Redmond and Capoue and I'm considering benching Redmond; he's not playing well and I can't see him getting anything at the Emirates.

Capoue scored against Southampton and Chlesea so he has to be a decent goal threat at the Olympic; especially as it's almost an away fixture for both teams

If I had Benteke I would play him at the Riverside too.

Yeah I'm currently benching Redmond. For all the shots he gets Capoue looks more dangerous.

I think so.

Feels a bit odd I know given the difference in price and so on.

Suggests to me that when I get a spare FT Redmond can have his P45 if he doesn't pull his socks up sharpish

[SefSemillia]

Heaton or Foster? I'm leaning towards Heaton since he has a home game and I have McAuely playing. Doubling up on WestBrom only on home games?!

That's a tricky one: West Brom may be away but they play the Cherries and I'm not sure they can punch through Broms defence. Heaton is at home but faces the Fighting Tigers, won 2, only beaten late in the day by Man U last game.

Hmm that's Foster for me Sef.

[vinnyutd6899]

Valencia (H) to City or play Stuani (H) to Crystal Palace?

[tarkens]

I'd play Stuani

I for once have no benching dillema and not sure if I like it

[Weisenwolf]

Valencia (H) to City or play Stuani (H) to Crystal Palace?

If Aguero was playing I would plump for Stuani but he's isn't. Valencia possibly edges it for me.

[Joccki_10]

Bench two of Walker (stk), Capoué (whu) and Redmond (ars). Currently playing Walker as 4th def.

I would certainly bench Redmond. Spurs have only managed one CS, to Palace but Walker gets the odd assist too. Capoue could bag another brace or blank. Nothing to chose IMHO

[Owsler]

I agree.

Here's my team for this GW. Playing AOA. Thoughts on Valencia over another defender? Could probably double up again on WBA, but would be more relaxing looking for attacking pts from Valencia.

[Resonare]

I agree.

I'd double up on WBA, I don't think Capoue in mid is worth the use of a chip even if it is the worst one.

[BobMem]

I'm benching King (Bournemouth at home to WBA) in favour of Capoue, and Gibson, playing McAuley.
Thoughts? I fancy a WBA clean sheet, but by benching King and playing McAuley I've gone a bit all out.

I wouldn't chip so if you are concerned about Valencia (I am but I have no choice) then play Mac.

As a side issue your defence is expensive and unlikely to be of value.

[Owsler]

I agree. Stones will be going when I wildcard.

[tarkens]

Valdes or Jaku?

[swadd1er]

Byram or McAuley to play?
