    Unsure about benching Mee ahead of White/Trippier.

    Thoughts?

    Looks to me that its a call that could easily go either way. Personally I'd play Mee ahead of White as I think Aston Villa have a better chance of catching Arsenal with a counter attack and Mee seems to have a good record on grabbing a goal at set pieces but its very much 50:50.

    I think defensive conundrums are the flavour of the week.


    I’ve Trippier, Tarkowski, Shaw and White to bench one from. Currently have Tarko benched but I could absolutely be swayed over the course of the hour.

    Have the exact same conundrum and I am benching White, but it’s a flip of the coin and could see arguments for benching any of the 3!

    Will roll the transfer and will start Cucu despite the leaked squad exclusions as I'd be happy enough with Mitro coming in:

    Kepa

    Cucu Shaw White Ake

    KDB Rashford Bruno Saka

    Haaland(c) Nketiah

    Ward Mitro Pereira Patterson

    Yes - all this weeks issues seem to be who to start in defence and many rolling the FT. I'm starting James (not in squad rumour) and Beuno (risk to start) so will be starting James, Shaw, Trippier and White (Surely back in the team). And Gnoto if James not in squad comes in.

    Leaves me with;

    Kepa

    Shaw, Trippier, White, James

    Salah, Mahrez (risk), Rashford, Saka

    Haaland (c) Nketiah

    Ward, Gnoto, Bueno, Andreas

    *edit - starting James and if not in squad then won't even come on.

    Wonder who Trossard will start instead of.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 19,772 ✭✭✭✭Ace2007


    Great to see the James rumour after I buy him this morning :(, also gambled and sold Kane as had to do something out of left field to try catch Trim Trab in the CL. Benched Martinelli and White.



  • Registered Users Posts: 2,815 ✭✭✭bantee


    Sorry just seeing this now, Cucu, Silva & James ruled out this weekend

    I fear I might only have 10 playing with all the rumours. Was tempted to captain Kane but stuck with the one everyone else will have.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,200 ✭✭✭Flaneur OBrien


    I have no idea what my team is. I know I accidentally took a -8 hit while I was playing around with my GW27 intentions... 😡



  • Registered Users Posts: 2,825 ✭✭✭crushproof


    Still rumours of Martinelli starting ahead of Trossard. No one really knows.

    I've benched Martinelli anyways so I'm sure he'll get a goal.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,108 ✭✭✭Xander10


    I wonder would captaining Kane have been a better gamble? Time will tell. Good luck.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 17,282 ✭✭✭✭gammygils


    FT banked

    Kepa

    Tripp Saliba Shaw

    Miggy Bruno Martinelli Rashford

    Nketiah Nunez Haaland (c)

    Ward Bueno Andreas Aurier



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 19,772 ✭✭✭✭Ace2007


    Yea that was the other option - I feel that Kane is kinda safe - and West Ham won’t be easy game, whereas mannerless Southampton who knows - didn’t see cl game but by all accounts they should have won or at least scored so maybe today will be their day



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 19,772 ✭✭✭✭Ace2007


    Martin on bench - trossard starts



  • Registered Users Posts: 2,825 ✭✭✭crushproof

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 11,290 ✭✭✭✭Father Hernandez


    Gone Tarkowski over White 😬



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,108 ✭✭✭Xander10


    Marti will see some game time I would imagine, hopefully comes on with a point to prove

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 17,282 ✭✭✭✭gammygils


    Great start No Martinelli and cleanie gone

    ☹️ Wil have to do Martinelli to Saka even for a hit at this stage



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,985 ✭✭✭Mr Crispy


    I heard Martinelli would be on bench this morning, so I went and put Andreas in my starting XI instead of him. And apparently didn't confirm changes 😅



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 22,649 ✭✭✭✭extra gravy


    Saka goal

    No assist



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,928 ✭✭✭shmeee


    Makes up for the rapid wipe of the White CS. Saka proofing the winner over the 50/50 Saka/Odegaard transfer in saga

    Every week I say I'll swap Odegaard out for him and never do. So many points lost.
