Who would you bench from this team?
Lloris/Schmeichel
Telles/Sessegnon/Cancelo/James/Robertson
Foden/Salah/Jota/Martinelli/Havertz
Wood/Antonio/Adams
Current bench is Lloris/Adams/Antonio/Robbo
Thanks. Nketiah will likely play so it’s him. For defense it’s more complicated. Ajer is slightly better than Tavares since his spot is risky after Arteta’s comments on the match.
Seems bizarre to drop Raph to waivers as he has been a beast all season and is likely to produce a couple more great returns this between GWs 34, 36, 37, 38.
But I wonder if streaming between those other options as 1-2 week punts may be better and messaging a lower ranked team playing H2H with my top opponent to pick him up may be a better choice
Need help with setting my lineup - here's what I've got currently:
Ramsdale
Robertson - Reguilon - Schar - Castagne
Mount - Havertz - Sterling - Sancho
Werner - Mateta
Bench: Ederson, Cedric, Gallagher, Lacazette
Maybe consider Ederson for Ramsdale and instead could get Cedric in for Castagne since I doubt Castagne plays both games. Ederson more likely to have the clean sheet but Ramsdale could rack up saves
That might be a good shout - I think my reasoning was that even if Southampton gets 1 past Arsenal and Chelsea get 2-3, he'd still snag 2-3 save points in those games, meaning he's just as well off.
My other option is to drop Cedric for Jonny, Christensen/Chalobah or a Brentford defender to prep for future weeks.
Should I hold Emerson Royal or Ben Davies? Thinking about doubling up on Newcastle defense for GW34, my current defense is TAA, Walker-Peters, Schar, Davies, & Royal.
I'd be looking to differentiate if possible - unless you're planning to start 5 ATB, someone is on your bench this week, and I'd be looking to make use of that to prep for when both Spurs' and Newcastle's fixtures take a rougher turn.
If you were going to drop one, it's a toss up for me. With Doherty out, they're probably both fairly locked in to the starting lineup, and neither is particularly involved in goal scoring opportunities as it stands. If you think that another Newcastle defender is going to score more than 6 points this week, it might be worth it.
I like this way of thinking... I’m currently 1st in my league and play 2nd who’s 1 point off me GW34, so was thinking of stacking Newcastle vs Norwich (also have Almiron). For now I’ve brought in Ake for Davies. Both Targett and Burn will be available in waivers next week incase I want to go for the stack
That seems a fair plan to me. Keep in mind that Newcastle drew Norwich 1-1 at home back in November, and thus far the only team to keep a clean sheet at Norwich is Man City. Not to mention they could still be fighting for survival.
If I were you I'd keep an eye on Wolves defenders - depending on how badly Burnley takes Dyche's sacking, that could be a great fixture to target.
I should clarify - that's only in 2022. If you go back to 2021 there's a few other teams, but on their current run at home I'd bet they snag at least 1.
Iheanacho for me. Neither of them is in great form, and I don't see managerless Burnley being a better opportunity than a DGW. Iheanacho also only played 60 in the ECL so he's got a decent chance to start at least 1 if not both matches.
People putting Burn last but he’s actually decent on headers and randomly gets forward every now and then, almost scored versus Wolves.
Realistically I wouldn’t know how to rank them to be honest
Which one? A)Cresswell - Antonio - Rudiger B)Cresswell - Antonio - Eriksen C)Cresswell - Eriksen - Rudiger D)Antonio - Eriksen - Rudiger
Who would you bench from this team? Lloris/Schmeichel Telles/Sessegnon/Cancelo/James/Robertson Foden/Salah/Jota/Martinelli/Havertz Wood/Antonio/Adams Current bench is Lloris/Adams/Antonio/Robbo
I'd start Adams DGW over Sess. And seems wrong to have Robo on the bench but suppose he could get rotated after Saturdays final
Cheers
Is Sessegnon a gamble or do we expect him to start now that he is fit?
Seems like a gamble to me. But I'm not a Spurs fan
oFPL total points Who to start? Soyuncu (DGW) or Ajer (vs Watford) and Nketiah or Maupay
Toss up. Not a fan of either of those defending options this week Maupay may stay on bench after last week or could play both
Thanks. Nketiah will likely play so it’s him. For defense it’s more complicated. Ajer is slightly better than Tavares since his spot is risky after Arteta’s comments on the match.
Are Raphina owners keeping him rest of season? Waiver options available: Mbuemo, Sarr, Elyounousi, Gordon, Lookman, Cornet 10man h2h OFPL
I’m keeping him, hadn’t even considered not keeping him. Only time I’ve benched him all season he’s scored against Utd.

I just dropped Christensen as I'm not optimistic about their D or his playing every week, but Jonny I'm certainly holding on to

Great stat regarding away cleaning sheets at Norwich

Antonio (managerless BUR) or Iheanacho (NEW/EVE)
Iheanacho for me. Neither of them is in great form, and I don't see managerless Burnley being a better opportunity than a DGW. Iheanacho also only played 60 in the ECL so he's got a decent chance to start at least 1 if not both matches.
With Dyche leaving, would you stick with Cornet or would you go for Lanzini instead?
Probably Cornet
Is lindelof a lock?
Even if he is, I assume you have better options available
For the rest of the season Barnes or Martinelli?
Prior to his performance yesterday I probably would say Barnes no question. Probably would still say Barnes but with less confidence.
Target, Schar, Burn.. In which order would you prefer them?
People putting Burn last but he’s actually decent on headers and randomly gets forward every now and then, almost scored versus Wolves. Realistically I wouldn’t know how to rank them to be honest
Schar, Targett, Burn
Targett, Schar, Burn. Targett already gone in my league so I’m targeting Schar followed by Burn
I'd go schar targett burn, but it can go any way
Andersen or Emerson Royal? OFPL H2H
Emerson in my view
Easily
