Cheers for help people. Think it'll be last minute decision.
Tough one. If you have Foster in goal I'd go with Holebas. If not, McAuley.bigcliff2 wrote:What about McAuley or Holebas?

Re: Who To Bench Thread 2016/17
I'd bench McAuley. I consider Stoke more of an attacking threat rather than Burnley (yes, I really do) and Holebas more of an attacking threat rather than McAuley.bigcliff2 wrote:What about McAuley or Holebas?

Re: Who To Bench Thread 2016/17
I see this as Valencia or Stones. Stones for the reason you have enunciated; Valencia because a CS is unlikely and he's not getting forward so well ATM. If Stones is playing I would play him; that's your gamble IMHO
Who would be first sub?

(Fletcher , Kingsley)
A bit left field but Cazorla CHE is another option, but prefer the upside of the attackers.

Re: Who To Bench Thread 2016/17
Need some advice; assuming Lukaku is playing, who do I bench in midfield? I will play my two other forwards.
I've got Coutinho,Antonio, Capoue, Lamela and Townsend, all have quite tasty fixtures. Of these, which one would you bench?

Re: Who To Bench Thread 2016/17
Discussed this with a friend of mine. Tough one, but we came to the conclusion to bench Capoue. In that case, the only thing that could let you down is Iheanacho being subbed on and doing nothing (no goals, no assists) plus Capoue scoring a goal, so you won't get his points.Bobby Chopps wrote:Bench Capoue or Iheanacho?

Ah didn't realise he was a doubt. On a WC so may go without altogether. Confirms my thinking though.Weisenwolf wrote:Redmond would be my shoutIsalla wrote:I'd go with Holebas, wat are yet to keep a cs, and he is a doubt for the weekend (aductor injury).Canary94 wrote:Bench one of:

Re: Who To Bench Thread 2016/17
I'm near enough in the same situation. Do we not think bolasie has been playing well and that Everton are more likely to score more vs Bournemouth than Watford vs Burnley? It hurts every week leaving capoue on the bench but still always convince myself it's the correct decisiontommyk7 wrote:BolasieCappy18 wrote:Bench one of Capoue, Bolasie, Costa or Deeney ?

Re: Who To Bench Thread 2016/17
Bench Foster away to Stoke, or Heaton at home to Watford? Watford seem the more likely to score, and I expect WBA aren't exactly going to be expansive away from home, but it feels wrong not playing the home keeper

Bench Coupe or Redmond?
Redmond did not play in the cup, so I assume he will start? Redmond is playing in a offensive role so I'm leaning to playing him. Thoughts?

Foster is the obvious pick:wibble_mcwoo wrote:Bench Foster away to Stoke, or Heaton at home to Watford? Watford seem the more likely to score, and I expect WBA aren't exactly going to be expansive away from home, but it feels wrong not playing the home keeper
1) Watford are almost certain to score, imho.
2) WBA are away, so there should be more Save Points.
