That's interesting. I'd bench Carroll out of those two! He hasn't really looked like doing anything...and if there's a risk of benching.

I own Carroll and it's frustrating because on paper, he should be better than last season. I guess Siggy is proving a huge miss knitting that team together.

Which 2 of these would you play?

Naughton (Watford home)
Dunk (Newcastle home)
Fellaini (Southampton away)
Carroll (Watford home)

Must be at least one defender...

Tarkens: I agree, bench Cedric.
Zimmerman: Tough one, but on balance I'd probably play Jag and bench King. Neither side is really firing so I'd bet on a low-scoring game if I had to.

My dilemma:
Play Carroll (WAT) or Maguire (LIV)?

Cheers guys.
I was thinking in for a penny in for a pound, bank on the Everton cs at home.

Offset by King who hasn't scored in 5, so will invariably score the first game I drop him!!

Neither jags or Keane played anyway so it was moot.

If Jones isn't fit, I'll need to play one of Lowe or Mbemba.

Any thoughts?

I'd start Mee and not think twice about it. Burnley at home, play him. Swansea's attack is woeful, Atsu if flagged and Newcastle have scored once away from home all season and blanked against Brighton and Huddersfield.

Mee>Carroll>Atsu in that order, in my opinion.

Don't Burnley have West Ham at home? Oh well, same choice, same result. Mee!

Yeah, Burnley has West Ham at home. Can see how it looks like I thought they were playing Swansea, that line was about Carroll's potential to provide anything over three points.
