    Answered in other thread but basically do not bench traore

    In my own team I actually have benched Grealish for Zaha and I am not comfortable with it. Kind of hoping I get news Zaha is out so I can sell him for fodder a week early

    Feel like Grealish is a must start if you have him. He’s involved in nearly all of Villa’s goals these days and youd imagine Villa have a goal expectancy of 1. Is Palace’s any higher than that?

    Put another way, Grealish has more goal returns since GW13 than Zaha has all season.

    I'd bench Greenwood all day over Traore.

    Traore will definitely start, Newcastle are poor
    Greenwood might start, maybe a 40% chance of starting, united are muck against weaker teams and Norwich have been quiet unlucky recently, they've been better than their results

    Its not even close IMO

    I would play Traore and agree re Norwich results but Norwich won't sit back and that will suit United.

    Yeah I think I might just sell zaha now to remove the temptation

    Have to bench two of these - who would you go for?

    Lundstram, Grealish, Traore, Ali, Sidibe.

    If it was me, this is the order I'd go:
    Ali Traore Grealish | Lundstram Sidibe


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 48,254 ✭✭✭✭km79


    Why are so many people benching Lundstram?
    He isn’t playing the quality of opposition he was facing over Xmas
    When he was unlucky twice not to get a huge score

    Not much point paying over 5ml for an Everton defender either and benching him at home to Brighton
    When would you ever play him then .......

    Who is your sub keeper ? If it’s a good one bench boost
    Actually put up your whole squad
    You have not told us any of your strikers
    They may come into the mix


  • Registered Users Posts: 2,353 ✭✭✭Porthallian


    Mines a bit more straightforward

    Play Rico, Kelly or Tettey?

    I have Rico and Kelly and playing the following:

    Robertson, Lundstrum, Rico

    Bench: Kelly, Montoya

    I have Rico and Kelly and playing the following:

    Robertson, Lundstrum, Rico

    Bench: Kelly, Montoya

    It's a close call. If I bench Rico he'll probably get a 10 pointer again

    Temped to play bench boost, even though Simpson and Button won't play.


  • Registered Users Posts: 211 ✭✭ShimSlady


    Any glaring issues to be fixed?

    Fabianski

    TAA--Lundstram--Soyunchu

    Mané--KDB--Traoré--Richarlison

    Vardy--Jimi--Ings

    Subs: Pope, Kelly, Aurier, Cantwell

    4.4 ITB to get Salah in for Richarlison next week

    Me too, biggest thing stopping me is I dont have a playing keeper.

    I just don't play Rico, no matter what.

    In last 10 games he got 18 points in total and that's including 2 with clean sheets I think.

    No, thanks. I'm good ;)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 10,127 ✭✭✭✭normanoffside


    All this bench boost talk has me tempted.

    With Madisson passed fit my bench is Cantwell, Aurier and Rico.
    I have Button as sub keeper but could use my FT to bring in a playing keeper.

    Would anyone else do it with that bench?

    Honestly no
    Especially as you are using a FT which will be valuable preparing for gw 24

    I wouldn't myself. No guarantee on Cantwell starting. God knows what Aurier will do. Bournemouth are poisonous until proven otherwise.

    Wouldn't risk it. Cantwell and Aurier could get returns but they could easily be benched or in the case of Aurier red carded


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 10,520 ✭✭✭✭dsmythy


    Wouldn't mind a double clean sheet in the first game of the game week.

    Whenever that is.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 10,127 ✭✭✭✭normanoffside


    Thanks lads. I was looking at McCarthy in for Ryan to BB but will bank now!

    And before 60 too
    You couldn’t have changed it though
    A playing keeper with a good fixture ideally at home is the key to bench boost

    Lundstram with a bad game today and Besic is fit.

    ?
    He played well
    Besic was also booked not long after coming on
    His discipline and injury record is not so good .....

    63% pass completion for a midfielder isnt good.

    Is that your only consideration for a midfielder ?

    Did you watch the game ?

    Have you watched much of Sheffield United this season ?
