I'd play RLC. Swansea are in an awful run of form.

If it were me I would play RLC purely because Watford have been conceding a lot of goals recently. RLC also looks good value at his price going forward.

Agreed, I'd always play the attacker in close calls.

I'd play Kenny.

Any advice on my dilemma, really struggling to split them?!

is there not somebody else you can bench, perhaps a more expensive player who might be rested?

Salah / Coutinho / Sterling / Zaha / Arnautovic
Kane / Morata / Depoitre

Can't really see any other options from that lot?

I'd bench Depoitre of those, more likely to be rested

My lovely choice is play either Dunk or Mee. I'm thinking Dunk

Difficult to split those two Notned. If it were not for Stoke's win over West Brom I'd have said Depoitre but now it is less clear. Zaha can score against anyone but Arsenal should be well rested and I expect them to beat Palace.

Edit to add Depoitre is 2/1 to score, Zaha 11/4. Odds taken from Sky Bet.

I would personally not be benching Depoitre, who has 3 goals and 2 assists in his last three games. He has been a real handful and looks high on confidence. I can see him continuing his scoring run in Huddersfield's next run of fixtures.

Do you think he is likely to play though? I think I'll bench Depoitre and play Loftus Cheek against Arsenal even though Depoitre probably has the best fixture for a striker this GW, just because I think he is likely to get rested.

I'd guess he will play, and I expect Hudd to score.

Current team is:

Adrian (BOU)
Ogbonna (BOU), Alonso (BHA), Otamendi (NEW)
Richarlison (LEI), De Bruyne (NEW), Salah (SWA), Lingard (BUR)
C-L (WBA), Aguero (NEW), Kane (SOU)

Subs: Pope (MUN), Zanka (STK), Jones (BUR), RLC (ARS)

Only one I'm not sure on is Richarlison, but seems wrong to bench him. Look alright or should I switch Richarlison?

Richarlison against leicesters second choice right back could be tasty IMO

Any reason why you're benching jones at home to burnley?

Bench Depoitre he is good bench cover this week. He will start and could score as well.
The others are are prime if they start.
Salah, May not start or play less than 60 . if he does not start could play 30 for a haul anyway, you need to cover that even if he is not your first captain choice. So play him.
Kane , Hazard and Pogba are nailed as it gets and could be captains this week. Play them any day.
Depoitre will cover a no show from Firmino and or Sane so no contest. Put him on the bench.

I'd play Jones every game based on his bonus magnetism, but I think my confidence in Man U took a knock. Silly really, I agree.

I think I will give Richarlison another chance and hope he's still got something in the tank. Cheers.

Yeah, maybe I should save my WH double up for the actual double. Cheers.

These calls go wrong and Bournemouth are struggling but united at home is surely better odds than west ham away to Bournemouth and I think you have to play the odds in this game and just cop when they don't go your way
