Don't know much of Suttner but RLC over Carroll - MUN have far better defence than Pool.

Kentucky and Chicken?

I'd play the first 2, if that helps.

Bench 1 out of Hegazi, Ince or Löwe.

Currently have Löwe on the bench. Are there people on here who would bench Hegazi (bur) and play Löwe (NEW)?

Rodriguez :wink:
Will take into consideration, but I thought Rodriguez did well the first game (especially the first half).

I'd play Elliot in your position.

I need to bench one of Löwe or Mee. Currently playing Mee, largely due to his higher ownership more than anything else. Anyone have thoughts?

Löwe vs Mee is very close indeed. FFS have Lowe as Hud's penalty taker, but he's also down as a corner taker and he took zero last week. The clean sheets odds are very similar, with Burnley just shading it. Despite their stellar home record last season Burnley actually conceded the third highest number of shots in the box (Sunderland and Hull were worse).

I also have a to Mee or not to Mee dilemma and having had a dig around I'm strongly considering starting Hegazi ahead of Mee.

Think this might have already been decided, but I keep going back and forth to try and squeeze as many points out of this GW (Lukaku captainers scare me):

Foster (BUR) or Elliot (HUD)?

and

Daniels (WAT) or Mee (WBA)?

Do I bench Alonso (tot) or Mee (WBA)? Currently benching Alonso but it seems mad benching a 7m defender. Am I doing the right thing?

My five defenders are Bertrand, Danilo, Mee, Alonso, Rangel.

No, I don't think so. Didn't Alonso look the biggest attacking threat last game?

Not worth 7m to you, if you are going to bench him, imho.

If you have Alonso then you must play him every game. If the plan was there to not play him gw2 then then he becomes very bad value on your bench and you shouldn't have selected him in the first place. In fact the Spurs game is one of the reasons I didn't pick him. He might be in my plans post-WC though.

What's the point of having Daniels if you don't play him at home to Waford? It's easily Daniels in this choice anyway.

Play Daniels and Luiz, unless you only have the latter to avoid a -4.

Not sure I'd agree with that SK. The question isn't whether the OP was right to pick Alonso originally, it was whether (having already picked him) he should bench him this GW to allow other players to play. So that comes down to a straight choice of who is likely to score the most points.

So in this case:
Alonso (tot) or Mee (WBA)

Using the first bookie who came up on Google... Chelsea are 16-5 to keep a clean sheet, Burnley are 8-5. So twice as likely to keep a clean sheet. Against that you have the attacking threat of Alonso.

So personally I don't think it's as simple as "you have to pick Alonso because he's £7m".

In this GW, faced with that choice, it's a close call, but I'd probably bench him.
