Thank you, captain hindsight.

The strong front 8 has worked wonders for me in the last while, it didn't work out today. Shit happens.

He's right though.

Just to note, everyone needs to realise that you need to treat Alli and Mahrez like 9.0 value players. That's what they are. Ignore their current or starting values.

If you have them, play them.

Bench them at your peril. It's not worth it. It's the reason I just will not entertain at strong front 8.

Being serious though, you're not going to bench the likes of Ozil/Sanchez/Silva etc over Alli/Mahrez.

Yes they are having fantastic seasons but in some ways they are still behind the big "premiums".

And fair play if it works for you. It kills me.

I've said it previously...a few times.

Alli should never be benched and Mahrez, well people should've learned at this stage.

Mahrez hasn't done much in 2016, he's missed 2 penalties. His performance this morning goes against his recent form. From my front 8, he was the stand out option to bench.

just cause you say it a few times doesn't mean it's right, guys have benched Ozil, before and turn out ok for them.

Ali was suffering from an unknown dizzy spell, majority like me probably thought, he would either start or not play at all. Coming on at half time is a pain for most.

Feckin Firmino assist

Firm assist for lalanananana

They are premiums IMO. We're just looking at teams and prices if we don't think so.

As I say, if you have them, they have to be played IMO. I'm not saying you must have them, but benching them is inviting pain.

Ziegler1988

Austin on the bench. Looks like 3-5-2 with Yoshida in
TEAMS: #SaintsFC Forster, Cedric, Yoshida, Clasie, Fonte, Long, Mane, Wanyama, van Dijk, Pelle, Bertrand #SOUWHU #COYI
TEAMS: #WHUFC Adrian, Tomkins, Reid, Collins, Cresswell, Song, Moses, Noble (c), Payet, Antonio, Valencia #SOUWHU #COYI

Fair play to Firmino captainers and owners. Managed to forget him in this weeks captain poll

SlickRic

Firmino in for Payet is looking smarter than it did 10 minutes ago.

IsMiseMyself

Yay Firmino.

Swings and roundabouts.
It's the strong front 8 that's the killer.

I played Firmino over Mahrez.
Both looking at 14 pointers.

It was between Ali and Mahrez for me, as I have Payet, Sanchez, and Firmino and I thought City would beat Leicester. I did think Leicester would score, so I brought in Vardy for Lukaku (ugh), but that's the nature of the game.

You make the decisions you think are best. Sometimes it works. Sometimes it doesn't.

shineon23

Pelle starts ahead of Austin.
At least I got something half right this weekend. Cannot see Austin walking into the team right away.

Pellegrini saying something along thw lines of Silva being doubtful for next weekend. with ankle knock that forced him off today. Seen that on twitter. Anyone see a post match interview?

thewools

Time to bring sturridge on for firminho please

Thepoet85

Firmino doing the business and filling the Mahrez shaped hole in my team, good man

Ziegler1988

Lukaku subbed

IsMiseMyself

Lads, what kinda scores are you looking at atm? I'm on 44 (-4) and FFFix is predicting a drop, so I'm curious.

Mint Sauce

Need Kane to score to add to a pretty decent GW so far.

stephenl15

Is Lukaku looking at any Bonus?

remoteboy

Can't complain as having a great week so far but yet another captain fail - Kane - he's literally the lowest scoring player on my team. Watching the Spurs match and it looks like they could play for another hour and he still wouldn't score. Immensely frustrating player.
