Similar-ish dilemma for me. Decided to bench Stones and playing Ogbonna, Dallas and Holding in defence.

Need to bench one of

Kane
Son
Bamford
El Ghazi (DGW)
Watkins (DGW)

Currently on Bamford... but Watkins is tempting despite two fixtures.

How nailed is Stones? I already have Dias, and would love Cancelo, but I just don’t trust Pep to play him both matches...

Would appreciate a quick opinion. Would you guys play Darlow or Martinez this week given the choice? 🤔

Ok, I'll raise you Martinez or Johnstone? I'm leaning towards Martinez just because of the Newcastle game.

I was reading FFS and 2 of their scouts seemed to make Johnstone their pick they say :

“Sam Johnstone (£4.5m) comes with the chance of scoring clean sheet and bonus save points. West Bromwich Albion line-up against West Ham and Wolves in the Double Gameweek, two teams in the bottom half for goals scored this season with 24 and 19. Johnstone has also made the most saves of any keeper this season with 74, six more than nearest rival Illan Meslier.”

Play Justin defintely. I'm playing Coufal ahead of Bamford and Dier, but I do need to decide the final slot out of:

Bamford (BHA)
Dier (shu)
Neto (WBA)

Think I'll play Bamford and bench Dier, though it seems slightly odd to bench a defender against Shu, even if Spurs seem to have picked up a habit of conceding late goals and Shu are improving.

Pope or Johnstone? Burnley better, but they also have Liverpool to play...

Bench Johnstone, Pope picks up decent save points and BPS against good opposition

Yep, I'd go Martinez. Johnstone could have a decent week though, decent fixtures.

Benching headache for next week. This is how I’m set out for next week.
Martinez
Stones,Cancelo,AWB,Cressw
KDB(c/vc),Son, Fernandes(c/vc), Barnes
Kane, Wilson

Johnstone, Bamford, Soucek, Mitchell. 1FT 0,2 itb

Mitch and Soucek are obvious but the third; is it Bam or Wilson or Son/Barnes. What would you do?

I’ll be saving the FT and looking to downgrade a bench player in 21.

That's the problem with playing the BB. You're left with a squad of 15 decent playing players to choose from the following week. I'm facing similar dilemmas. If I had your squad I'd probably play Bamford and bench Barnes, but its a tough choice.
