      Keep for now, lots of games coming up so he will get game time. And it doesn't matter too much if he starts, as long as he gets like 20 mins or so he could get something. Arsenal have been very poor in the first halves, all their goals come in the 2nd half.

      Tough call this week. Opta (so far) says Sterling, but Hazard looks set to haul against BHA. Auba is playing SOU whom have conceded the second most amount of chances down the middle over the last four. Auba takes most of his goal attempts down the middle, which only enhances his appeal for captaincy.

      It may be Auba or Hazard for me as they have be given a mid-week rest. I'll still start Sterling and Sane and be happy with their returns.

    Currently on BCE. I want both Anderson and Bilva but can only fit one in, quite like the idea of going Bilva instead as most around here are going Anderson, plus Bilva has scored quite well when Dilva hasnt started.

    Any thoughts would be much appreciated.

      Not mad, Sterling a good pick, but Kane is the better option this week imo (have both). But at the end of the day, if your gut is telling you to go Sterling I would just follow it. I find it worse when i ignore those gut decisions and lose points than when I follow gut decisions and lose points.

      Premium - VVD, Robertson, Laporte, Toby
      Mid-price - Bellerin, Luiz
      Cheaper - Kolasinac, Doherty

      These are the ones I prefer
