I'm playing Amat over Redmond and Friend, but Redmond will most likely come in for injury man Feghouli.

I'd bench Friend and Morgan.

Stones and Morgan are your "more premium" defenders, so those two come into consideration before the other two. However, Leicester is playing Arsenal and I fully expect Arsenal to score at least one, maybe two or even three. They scored seven against Leicester over two games last season.

Then, Swansea is playing Hull at home and Middlesbrough has to go to Sunderland. Despite the fact that Amat is 0.5 cheaper, I would play him. Swansea getting a clean sheet away at Burnley is definitely better than Middlesbrough conceding one at home to Stoke (I know Stoke didn't create that much) and I expect Sunderland to score more goals than Hull this weekend.

Edit: Owsler already gave some advice. :)

After 82 points last week i can not for the life of me decide who to put on the bench, i even had redmond, tadic and barkey on bench before with 5 at the back, but seems way to risky that.

I wouldn't be doubling up on SOU at the expense of Diamonde. Hull will be an handful this season for many teams. I think you have both of them starting because you can't decide which one is likely to score best. Make that call man! I'd play Tadic and Diomande all day FWIW.

I can't see Van Dijk getting anything so him. Despite the fact Capoue is a base price I'm not a fan of Deu so I would play Capoue. It is however a punt despite his goal last week; however he also got the 3BP's and that suggests he played well too so although one game isn't 'form' this does suggest he may be a form player. I can't see Deu getting 3 BP's :lol:

Me too. I guess if it's 50/50 go for the expensive one , you'll kick yourself less if it goes wrong than if you pick the budget and it goes belly up. Also even if Citeh concede they won't get hammered; Swansea could.

Well Amat is playing Hull and if Diomande is as good as his BP's suggest he's a bad call. Gray is playing a defence that let 3 in last week so is in with a chance although Arsenal aren't Burnley. Ramirez is playing Sunderland so Ramirez for me. :wink:

Diomande got the 3 BP's last week; I'd back him too.

Thanks mate was leaning that way based on the comments of his game play last week on this forum.

Starting Redmond over Amat. If my two Utd defenders concede tonight then I guess I want most chance of having the player doing the damage. Rather than hoping for a swans clean sheet and then not getting it with pts on bench and no clean sheets

GW2 is effectively done & dusted for me so it's on to GW3's benching dilemma :wink: .

Need to bench one of the following:

Baines (H) vs Stoke
Stones (A) vs West Ham


Currently have Stones on the bench but not sure that's the right decision :? ...

Wait and see tomorrow plus WHam players returning form injury?

Defo worth a Stones downgrade (and he may drop this GW) imho, but you are top 14k 8-)

Imh(umble)o Eveton's defence hasn't done much wrong and when Lukaka and Bolasie start, Baines will be the beneficiary FF wise. Bolasie is good at creating space for overlapping F\WB's and Baines can deliver a cross....

I'm not selling Stones :wink: .

But yes, definitely worth seeing how West Ham line-up & perform against Bournemouth before making a final decision.

Stones is again on my team (same as the first two GWs :roll: )
My problem this week is Deulofeu. This horrible prick is now stuck in my team and I don't have no more free transfers and have already done a -4. Considering how bad he was last match I fear he will be benched for Bolasie.
The question is:
Is Capoue against Arsenal worth a punt or shoud I play Friend for the boring 4-3-3?

I would say both are as likely to concede as each other but Baines is more likely to get attacking gains, assuming he's still assuming that left wingback role.

I also wouldn't sell Stones unless he looks like being rotated. His transfer was a gift to FPL players. A very cheap top 2/3 (?) defender who will likely keep a heck of a lot of clean sheets this season. As long as Sterling isn't marking giants in the penalty box.

Bench two?

Valencia (hul)
McAuley (MID)
Stones (WHU)
Targett (SUN)
Amat (lei)

Definitely benching Amat and at the moment McAuley (again haha), but I think I might bench Stones if Payet is playing...

Bertrand is expected back this weekend, so wait for the Southampton team news because Targett might drop out.

Having a benching dilemma myself. Bench one of -

Andre Gray (che)
Evans (MID)
Souare (BOU)

I think I'll bench Gray and play 4-4-2. I hope he doesn't tweet about it.
