Mitoma, double Newcastle def

I am doing this too except it's between Mitoma and March. Currently leaning towards benching March solely because he's just coming back from a mild injury and Mitoma is 100% starting if fit. March does have better underlying stats and returns post-World Cup though, hence the dilemma.

Glad I’m not the only one benching Mitoma it hurts but my team is too strong elsewhere

Double NEW defence against City?

The question was “Who are you benching?” I’ve got both my Newcastle defenders on the bench bc they are playing City.

Ah sorry hahah I misread

Dear god, after arguably the most complicated (and fun) wildcard of all time, we're gona see several of the most boring gameweeks ever it seems.

You feeling good about that

Nope. Although I reckon few had “Bournemouth and Southampton prove stout opposition” on their bingo cards.

Maddison bench? U crazy

Yeah against 20th team in the league . I am confused as well 😂

Trippier, andreas and bueno lmao. I am not wildcarding though.

Aye, I’ve got Bailey, Trip and Kilman and I’m also not wildcarding

When will u wc?

28

28, allows me to bench boost the best doublers and I will field 11 in the blank.

28 is a blank though. how easy is it to navigate?

Take a look yourself my dude

Andreas, Estupinian and Williams for me.

Identical to me lol

Same but Zanka instead of Tripps, I have him in my starting XI, using WC next week :)

Mee, Estupiñan and one of Mitoma/Toney. Insane bench if you ask me, but can’t do anything about it

I’ve benched Mitoma in favour of Toney too. Can’t bring myself to bench Estupinan though, the guys been on fire recently.

That is almost bench bootstable, especially if you are planning to use other chips in future DGWs

True, I’d love to BB this GW, but you can’t activate any chips during Wildcard

That explains the bench a bit more then lol

Why the hell are you benching them?

The decision looks frantic, and you might be right. But I am a gambling man who has Foden and Maddison in the starting XI

Well good call on picking Foden !

Wow, everybody's benching Trippier. Haul incoming.

Trippier, mee and mitoma

Mee and mitoma???

Mitoma so I can play maddison, mee because I have raya and I don’t really want to double Brentford defence for this particular fixture.

What is your other keeper? I’d argue playing Mee against Fulham is better than Raya. I think there will be some set piece action in that game, and clean sheet not exactly locked in with Mitro back. I’m playing Henry and benching Raya, double up is definitely not ideal imo.

Well my other keeper is Ward, and although I think Leicester is likely to win I wouldn’t be surprised if they conceded… it’s tough!

Ah I see. It’ll be like tossing a coin I reckon. Good luck!

Exact same 👊🏻

Benching mitoma is criminal

I want to play Saka, Ode and Rashford then it’s between Maddison and Mitoma - and maddison has the nicer fixture

Have you wildcarded?

I have!

I'm picturing a mass tribunal at the Hague. We're going to need more seats.

What is your starting 11 if you are benching them?

I'm the only one playing Tripps, it's either him or Tarkowski and I'm sorry but i have zero faith in Everton.

I’m playing him instead of Shaw because anything can happen on Saturday noon.

Raya, March and Newc double def

Tripps, shaw, coutinho (don’t ask)

I’m asking

He got the goal against arsenal and I was lured hook line and sinker into a stupid trap that a rookie would avoid like the plague and now he has to take up space and cash until I WC in 28 and yes I’m really annoyed with him and me

Glad to see you're still supporting the Villa Stevie

Am I mad for benching rashford Shaw trips? Playing Toney Madison estupinian and Henry ahead of em

Rashy instead of Henry surely!

Need 3 defenders tbf but I have put rash on over mitoma

Rashford (C)

people are having benching dilemmas ?? here I’m being forced to start an out of form TAA against a red-hot Manchester United 😭

I get Liverpool hasn’t looked great but they’ve still had 5 clean sheets in the last 6 games

Alternatively, Man U has failed to score in only 2 matches since September, excluding the post wc friendlies.

Same here. I also have Mahrez and Akanji to contend with

Am I crazy to bench Rashford?

I benching Salah. Lets see FPL God hates who the most

No. I'm doing it. But I'm also a Liverpool Homer

Raya, Mac Allister, Trippier, Botman

Mahrez, Shaw, Trippier But I am not wildcarding this week

Benching mahrez wooo

Havertz

Tripper botman March rn

March, Mings and Trippier. I’m prepared for 28 and 29

Maddison, Mee & Trippier, in that order.

Trippier, March, Estupinan

Bueno, Andreas and Botman. Also forced to start Trippier, Tark0wski and Bailey. I don't want this GW to start

Rashford

Trippier, Henry and Barnes probably

Idk, either estupinan or e. Royal

Pope, Trippier, Mahrez, Darwin

Sarabia, Gnonto and Bueno. None of whom are ideal to own at the moment.

I brought Gnonto in for their double and since then he’s been poor, benching him for the first time this week so undoubtedly will return

I bought him in for the double as well, has rotted on my bench ever since, just haven’t gotten the chance to move him on

Feel like I got to bench Tripper for Tarkowski but at the same time what?

Mac Allister, Trippier, Schar.

Mitoma botman and bueno

Darwin Shaw Bueno atm

Mitoma, Henry, Botman

Sanchez Mitoma Trippier Botman bench for me

Trippier, Botman, March

I have mitoma benched. Am I wrong? Kdb rashford odegaard martinelli kane haaland Toney starting...

No Wildcard for me this week, but I'm benching Trippier Kilman and Mbeumo. Feels like a pretty solid bench to start most weeks lol

trippier, beuno, pickford and mahrez

Benching Madison? Against Southampton??????

Trippier, Shaw, Andreas

March - Trippier - Schar Don't mind it too much. March is the only risky one

Trippier, Burn, Mitoma. Y'all insane if you're benching Maddison, Toney and stuff lmao

Trippier, fernandes and Mee atm. I already had triple Brentford for weeks because I'm a scrub the plays favourites but Mee is definitely not better value than tottenham/arsenal defence this week. Fernandes I don't think will have much opportunity as shit as Liverpool's midfield is I think at Anfield we're more likely to see a Rashford counter attack goal. Trippier just because it's a quick turnaround and I have Haaland @ City. My brainless fpl strats actually paid dividends last week 126 points with no martnelli and Ings on the bench, hoping for another stroke of dumb luck.

I, unlike you, have put Estupiñan on, and benched Trippier, Mitrovic and Neves

Gnonto, Andreas and Dawson

Trippier Botman Mitoma

Bench Henry or Emerson Royal?

If that’s your bench, I am curious what your WC team looks like.

Rashford Trippier Schar

DaSilva Shaw Bueno

So many people benching estupianian, am i missing something?

Pope, mitoma, Robertson, bueno.

Foden, Trippier and Tarkowski Seems bizzare I know

Ward, Andreas, Trippier & Patterson

Surely you can fit Maddison in your XI! If you’ve brought him into your team and aren’t playing him against Southampton, what’s the point!? That £8 could be spent elsewhere I would think.

Im struggling with who to bench as well, on wildcard so I have a really strong team, with Haaland Kane and Toney up front but that means I can only play 4 mids and I have Saka, Martinelli, rashford, Maddison and mitoma… I’m kinda leaning towards benching rashford atm

Marsh, Davies and Trippier. Tough one.

Mitoma, Mee , Shaw. Jesus, looks like everyone’s benched Trippier…

Mitoma, Castagne, Trippier

Did not Wildcard. Bench: Ward - Andreas, Bueno, AWB. Team is: Raya Tark - Gabriel - White Salah - Rashy - Martinelli - Rodri Håland - Kane - Nunez

Rashford and tripps. Am I an idiot for rashy?

I hope United blanks and Darwin/Arnold hauls

Who do I bench to get mitoma in my team ? Or maybe best option to leave on the bench Estupinian, Alexander-a, Shaw Odegaard, de bruyne, saka, rashford (c) Tony, Watkins, haaland B: Mitoma, trippier, Lewis

watkins tbh, can’t see him getting 6 in 6

Trippier bueno nketiah, no brainers

I didn't WC but I am benching Kane for Watkins. Also captained Saka over Haaland... Getting to the point of the season where I'm a little bored and will inevitably drop off

Nunez … starting Nacho

Patterson, Bueno, Andreas.

Trippier Andreas Bueno (not wildcarding)

Mbeumo instead Greenwood or Maddison instead Salah this GW?

Bueno, trippier, mitoma Also Kepa, got Ward in, I’ll be surprised if my lovely but horrendous saints get a goal.

Forest Vs Everton has got 0-0 written all over it. Therefore I’m benching Trippier and Shaw for Williams and Tarkowski.

Mahrez, VVD, Bueno, Ward

Andreas, Trippier, Bueno (rolling transfer).

James, Ferguson and Robertson. Not WC either

Someone please tell me who I should bench between Barnes and Mitoma, I cannot decide

March, Mee, Trippier. Definitely gonna end up regretting one of them.

March, Trippier, Schar

Should I bench Mahrez or Ferguson? I think Mahrez will be on the bench and may get a 1 point cameo, while Ferguson should start and is still in good goal scoring form. What to people think? Will Baldie play Mahrez as it’s a tough fixture? Foden is in great form which could mean he’ll be benched

Maddison to start today BTW

Mitoma, Royal, Trippier and Sanchez for me currently

Fuck, everyone is benching Mitoma ahead of March? I’ve done the opposite. Just feel Mitomas form been slightly better.

Trips, Botman, Mitoma

March, Henry, and Trippier. Excited for using my bench boost

March, Trippier, Schär Was a flip between Mitoma or March. Hoping for a Mitoma performance 🤞🏻
