  17. Eze Come, Eze Go
    • 1 Year
    1 month, 20 days ago

    Happy Friday all! What do you think, G2G or any swaps from the bench?

    Raya
    O’Reilly - Cash - Gabriel - Hill
    Rayan - Semenyo - Fernandes
    Thiago- Haaland (C) - DCL

    Dubravka - Van Hecke - Grob - Palmer

    1. Prison Mike
      • 10 Years
      1 month, 20 days ago

      Benching palmer for rayan!? Crazy shout

    2. Conners
      • 7 Years
      1 month, 20 days ago

      I'd start one of your bench over Cash (who played 90 mins last night).

    3. IN SANE IN DE BRUYNE
      • 9 Years
      1 month, 20 days ago

      Palmer over Cash

    4. BananaDrama
        1 month, 19 days ago

        Van Hecke over Cash for me

    5. Il Capitano
      • 5 Years
      1 month, 20 days ago

      WC35 BB36

      Raya Henderson
      Gabriel Munoz Lacroix O'Reilly Van Hecke
      Bruno MGW Rogers Eze Cherki
      Haaland Welbeck DCL

      What do we think?

      1. Prison Mike
        • 10 Years
        1 month, 20 days ago

        Decent, not convinced on eze though really but an ok differential

        1. Il Capitano
          • 5 Years
          1 month, 20 days ago

          Fair, need to settle on my third Arsenal on the WC, don't really have the FTs spare to wait until 37

      2. DagheMunegu
        • 5 Years
        1 month, 20 days ago

        What def are you playing this GW ?

        Have same dilemna

        1. Il Capitano
          • 5 Years
          1 month, 20 days ago

          Probably start Munoz and pray

    6. Prison Mike
      • 10 Years
      1 month, 20 days ago

      Which one would you start?

      A) Welbz
      B) Enzo (already starting palmer & JP)
      C) Senesi

      1. xtremesid
        • 10 Years
        1 month, 20 days ago

        A

      2. CoracAld2831
        • 5 Years
        1 month, 20 days ago

        A

    7. FC Hakkebøf
      • 9 Years
      1 month, 20 days ago

      What to do here?

      Darlow
      NOR Struijk Senesi
      Palmer Bruno Semenyo Tavernier
      Haaland Pedro DCL

      Verbruggen Cucurella Mitoma Van Hecke

      2 FT 0.9 ITB

      A) Palmer and Cucurella to Saka and Gabriel (bench Senesi or Tavernier)
      B) Cucurella to Saliba (same as above)
      C) Cucurella and Senesi to Gabriel and Richards (bench Richards this week)
      D) Save and do A next week.

      It is scary to go without Gabriel, so I am leaning towards A or C. Prefer Lacroix over Richards, which I would be able to do next if I go with A, but worried about Saka’s minutes if Arsenal get in front early.

      I would appreciate it if you explain the reasoning behind your preferred option as that gives more food for thought.

    8. Fuddled FC
      • 14 Years
      1 month, 20 days ago

      who is priority?

      a) Cherki
      b) Eze

      1. CoracAld2831
        • 5 Years
        1 month, 20 days ago

        A because he has a double coming up.

    9. xtremesid
      • 10 Years
      1 month, 20 days ago

      Play 2
      1. MGW
      2. Semenyo
      3. Tavernier

      Current Team
      Verbruggen
      Senesi- O’Reilly-Gabriel
      MGW-Bruno-Tavernier
      Haaland(C)-JP-DCL

      Petrovic-Semenyo-Gross-Van Hecke

      1. CoracAld2831
        • 5 Years
        1 month, 20 days ago

        Play all of them and bench Pedro.

        1. xtremesid
          • 10 Years
          1 month, 20 days ago

          Cheers. Should I play Gross in place of Tavernier?

          1. CoracAld2831
            • 5 Years
            1 month, 20 days ago

            No.

            Next week, yes.

            1. xtremesid
              • 10 Years

      Hi Tom,

      Currently have 2 FTs and current set-up for GW is:

      Darlow
      Gabriel, O'Reilly, Hill,
      Semenyo, Bruno, Palmer, Tavernier
      Haaland, DCL, Pedro

      Subs: Verbruggen, Hinselwood, Van Hecke, Heaven

      Current thinking is to ether:
      1. Roll it over
      2. Semenyo for Eze (then Palmer to Cherki next week)

      Thoughts?

        C

        1. Conners

          1 month, 20 days ago

          Thanks. I currently have him in my 11, it's just last weekend's performance that's a bit off-putting.

    13. Dutchy FPL
      • 2 Years
      1 month, 20 days ago

      Is Sarr expected to start this weekend? Might get a start and some rest against Shakhtar? Great result yesterday

    14. Fuddled FC
      • 14 Years

      Bench one

      a) VVD

      3. damiang2233
        • 16 Years
        1 month, 20 days ago

        Should I get rid of Pedro & Palmer?

        Who should I replace them with?

        1. CoracAld2831
          • 5 Years
          1 month, 20 days ago

          Keep and reasses next week.

      4. TSN
        • 9 Years
        1 month, 20 days ago

        Bench one
        A. Tavernier
        B. Van hecke
        C. Hill

        Cheers

        1. xtremesid
          • 10 Years
          1 month, 20 days ago

          B

      5. Steve Stiffler
        • 9 Years
        1 month, 20 days ago

        Travernier or Hill to start?

        1. CoracAld2831
          • 5 Years
          1 month, 20 days ago

          Tavernier.

        2. Conners
          • 7 Years
          1 month, 20 days ago

          50/50 call.

          Hill has more routes to points and a higher floor, Tav the higher ceiling.

          I suppose you have to risk the attacker at this stage of the season.
