Simpson, Wollscheid, Smith(Dawson/Williams)
Ozil, Mahrez, Alli, Payet(Stanislas)
Costa(C)Kane, Aguero.

Good luck all.

Selection headache of Alli or Mahrez.

Currently leaning towards Mahrez, with Alli yellow flagged and also playing a bit deeper the last 2 games. On the other hand, I can see Pulis efforts to stifle Leicester being very effective.

spock.

Has anyone been talking to Diego today to see what his story is?

I text him a few times but no reply.

Serious captain dilemma here.

Wolly and Toby

Jesper

Butland in goal

Cresswell / Van D / Alder / Wolly / Targett

I'm thinking VD, Wolly and Targett.

But I am seriously considering changing out Cresswell for Fuchs or Hunt.
I have 1.8ITB but insanely I'm thinking of upgradeing Firmino to Ozil even though I have Sanchez. Sanchez is actually breaking my heart right now.

Swiper the fox

I'm just delighted that there's probably 110k people ahead of me who don't even know there's games tonight, hopefully a few bench mishaps will allow me to pick up a few places.

COH

Butland (Hart)
Wolly/Alder/Simpson (Target/Nyom)
Mahrez/Alli/Payet/Arnie/Sanchez
Aguerro (c)/Vardy (Ighalo)


Was thinking about dropping Wolly for Targett as triple Stoke is OTT

Gaillimh1976

Butland (Rudd)

Dawson/Alder/Bellerin (Simpson/Berty)

Alli/ Ozil C / Payet / Arnie (Romeu)

Kane/Kun/Vardy

Mr. Guappa

I have a similar decision to many here; two from Alli, Payet, Wollscheid, VVD.

Currently have VVD and Alli starting, with Payet ahead of Wollscheid on the bench.

Alli is a doubth for tonight. So I'd play Payet.
I'd play Wolly and VVD tbh. both good options.

dunit

Payet or Kane this week?
Thinking payet.

harpstilidie

Daniels (SOU) or Cedric (bou)?

I also have Forster in goal so don't know whether to double up on Southampton or not.

Daniels.

I've been procrastinating Sanchez to Özil for too long now and I don't know what to do! Haven't even looked at how my terrible defence is lined up yet.

Big Rom Big C

Torricelli

Courtois
Bellerin Daniels Huth
Sanchez Ozil Arnie(c) Mahrez
Vardy Kane Aguero

McCarthy Payet Toby Targett

First time owning Arnie, might as well captain him. 8 playing at home, que 28 points.

I'm just going to ride Ozil out until GW30 or my WC and reassess. Sanchez plus Rambo in my midfield have been beaten by Ozil almost every week the last four GWs :pac:

Butland,
Alder, Daniels, Ivanovic
Sanchez, Payet, Arnie(VC), Mahrez
Kane, Costa(C), Vardy
(Hennessey, Alli, Simpson, Smith)

Looks really bleak for me this gameweek. With Costa, Sanchez and Alli all doubts it could be a disaster especially if Ozil and Aguero rack up the points. My Aguero to Costa transer looks to hae backfired but I'm sticking to my original plan because if he does play it could be a great differential. Other options are Costa to Aguero or Lukaku for -4 but if he does play I'd be raging. I'll be behind the couch for the next two nights... Wish me luck

I'd stick with Sanchez at this stage if I was you.

I'm unsure about who to play in defence and I've been switching my captain all day. I've settled for Arnautovic since my two closest rivals are going to captain Lukaku and Costa.

Lights On

Was 100% on shipping out Sanchez but I fancy him to get something from the game tomorrow so holding out!

Schmeichel
PVA, Varela, Alder
Sanchez, Mahrez, Firmino, Alli
Aguero, Costa, Vardy

Payet first sub if Alli doesn't play!

FourFourRED

My midfielders are:

Willian (Norwich A)
Ozil (Swansea H)
Eriksen (West Ham A)
Mahrez (WBA H)
Barkley (Aston Villa A)


I need to choose one of them to drop as I will be playing 3-4-3. Any thoughts?

Erikson or Mahrez if it was me. I've Alli 1st sub starting Sanchez Willian Mahrez Lingard
Who are your strikers?

spock.

Surprised by the amount of people benching Alli.
He'll either start or not play imo and his away record speaks for itself.

Thepoet85

Arnie for my captain pick. 60 odd points behind in my money league so feel that now is the time to mix it up. Playing it safe and standard hasn't worker out much this year.

Ah here. Surely you know that's not gonna happen. Some non starting defender who's in for an injury will sub in with a goal and a clean sheet for people who didn't know there were games on....

FHFC

At u10s football with my wee man. 3% battery left on phone.

Bench Payet or Alli??

titan18

Choice of benching Payet, Firmino or Kane. Going for Firmino atm, but just know whatever I pick I'll get it wrong.

I sold Payet and benched Alli. I "think" Alli will get a rest with a view too Arsenal game.

Crazy like a fox...

Welcome to the team messers PVA and Hazard.

Butland
Daniels, PVA, My Matty
Ozil, Sanchez, Hazard, Mahrez
Aguero, Vardy (c), Kane

It's time... I don't know if I've shat or gotten off the pot.

Captaincy may change to Hazard in the next 30 mins....

Well you have Leicester and Spurs covered in other poistions so it's a coin toss really.. Only a suggestion but maybe go with starting Alli as he plays tomorow? Give you a sweat?

Lights On

Hate these late deadlines, too much time to tinker with things :pac:

Thinking of benching Alder & Alli and starting Payet & Cresswell instead. Not sure which double to use!

FHFC

Took a notion and did Payet to Barkley. Barkley to Siggy next week.

stephenl15

Any word on Costa was he on the bus? Can't find much on Twitter

Thanks don't have Alli, subbed him out this week

Going for the following;

De Gea
Varela
Alderweireld
Huth
Barkley
Özil
Mahrez
Willian (C)
Aguero
Kane
Vardy

Yeah I've decided to keep him. Just had a FIFA match there for Chile and had a million shots as Sanchez and not one went in :pac:

My new strategy is to line up a poor side, because lining up a potentially high scoring side never seems to work! No transfers made:

Butland
Alder Bellerin Bertrand
Lingard Payet Mahrez Sanchez
Aguero (C) Vardy Kane
