Doherty and Balbuena. FFS predicts Doherty to get 4.3 points, Balbuena 3.7 and Lascelles 3.3 if that helps.

I'd play Alonso.

Currently benching Robertson (BOU), Jimenez (NEW) and Laporte (CHE)

Is that the right order?

Tricky, I’d bench Laporte as I prefer the higher ceiling of a striker vs a defender.

Play which one of these?
Laporte
Alonso
WB

I'd be bench boosting that! I'm thinking it will be 1 or 2-0 to City, so currently playing Laporte

Would like to bench Alonso and give mitro and wilson a game despite tough fixtures .

But if Alonso hauls I’d be in big trouble . Benching a high ownership player is a big gamble

Yeah thinking Laporte will be first sub for me then

Alonso has a higher ceiling but I’d play Laporte and hope city dominate personally but plenty will argue that I’d imagine given ownership and attacking threat

Good luck

I'm benching Alonso over Laporte

More chance of a City CS then a Chelsea

I have the exact same dilemma and am currently leaning towards benching Mitro. It’s close between him and Alonso while Callum is probably the best of the three, I reckon.

With Robertson, TAA, Sané and Sterling also in my team, it’s going to make this week an absolute hedge-fest...

I’d play Fabianski every time.
The other one is tough but perhaps Palace are a more solid defensive unit at the moment.

Etheridge (Sou H)

Patricio (New A)

Not expecting either to get a clean sheet, so looking at save points mainly...

Hmm, is Bench Boost worth it outside a DGW?

Surprised you're benching Jimenez against Newcastle. Who do you have in your starting XI?

Ah. I'd play Jimenez over Torreira but it's a close one.

Put Jimenez first sub so I'm assuming he'll come in for Martial. My own fault for bringing in players without thinking about my bench. More worried about Robertson getting a cleansheet now that Wilson's out :roll: :P
