That's rough.I had 31pts on the bench tis week with; Bowen, Ryan, Dallas and Chilwell.
That is a record for me
Are you rotating between goalkeepers? Benching Chilwell is brave!

Why any of it?why?
If 3 out of the 4 players on my bench have good fixtures and no one in my squad is a major injury/rotation doubt I'd go for it in a single gameweek. That doesn't always happen and I end up just using it quite late into the season.Wondering about one thing. Everyone says you should only bench boost during double gameweeks. Surely unless you are able to put together a team with 12-13 players on DGW you won't really benefit from that over a normal week? So if you are going for a top heavy team it's pointless.
But why? What difference does it then make if it's a single or double?If 3 out of the 4 players on my bench have good fixtures and no one in my squad is a major injury/rotation doubt I'd go for it in a single gameweek.

Depending on fixtures, I’ll probably use it the week after my second wildcard. That way I can make sure I’m going to have a fully fit squad etc.Wondering about one thing.

I do this. Mainly because I look at my squad and see for example:Wondering about one thing. Everyone says you should only bench boost during double gameweeks.

Pretty much.But why? What difference does it then make if it's a single or double?
The only way it makes sense in double gameweek is if you have players with two fixtures on your bench. If not then there's no added benefit.
Yeah in that case there's benefit. I'm looking at my team now though and on my bench I'd have McCarthy, Vestergaard and Adams all away to Brighton. I don't think I'm going to have a better opportunity to use it than now. The only player with hard game is Bellerin at Tottenham. See:I do this. Mainly because I look at my squad and see for example:
Salah has one game coming up
Chilwell has one game coming up
Bissouma has two games coming up
Ayling has two games coming up
I expect Salah and Chilwell to easily outscore Bissouma and Ayling BUT I want the potential 4 point returns from Bissouma and Ayling. This is where the bench boost comes in handy.
However, what happens in reality is Ayling gets rested for one of the games and Bissouma gets a red in the first game and I end up punching my cat.
I'm similar with Watkins. Most frustrating player ever. Hauls against Liverpool and Arsenal, and nothing else. Have no idea when to start him or when to sub. I may aswell have Brewster to save the headacheStarting to question the utility of having Bamford. His numbers suggest he's a bit of a flat-track bully which isn't necessarily a bad especially given how cheap he is, but I can't envision a time when I play him over Kane, DCL, Jota, Grealish etc. Feels like a waste having 6m tied up on the bench when that money could be reinvested into the defence.
My current midfielders are Salah, Son, Grealish, Ziyech, Jota, DCL, Werner and Adams. One has to sit at all times, and all have potential to get 10+ in a game at the right time. I think deep roster may come handy during busy Christmas time when players are rested/injured or due to covid but otherwise I will happily remove Jota/Adams and upgrade.Starting to question the utility of having Bamford.

I basically have to swap Wilson for Brewster (someone who I have already played 3 times and has been absolute shite).Feck, I made the change today morning to Grealish and now I have to do it again.

I very much doubt it. Now that it's postponed they aren't really under pressure to play the game so looks like it will get slotted into a double gameweek.Is there any chance the Villa Newcastle game will just get pushed back to Tuesday or Wednesday and still count for this game week?
Villa got two double gameweeks to come. Basically Grealish could be essential. Although one is vs City.I very much doubt it. Now that it's postponed they aren't really under pressure to play the game so looks like it will get slotted into a double gameweek.
Yeah, I rotate with McCarthy and I have Kane and Son so thought it best to beach Chilwell.That's rough.

I'll probably be captaining him in one of those.Villa got two double gameweeks to come. Basically Grealish could be essential. Although one is vs City.
Why not Watkins? He got pens!I'll probably be captaining him in one of those.
Good shout.Lads Fabio Silva at 5.2 is good value. he’s next in line to be the starting ST for wolves for who knows how long. It’s a gamble but I’ve been failing miserably with the 3rd striker. Missing out on hauls left right and centre. Might be good to stick with someone learning but in a solid team. Get Watkins out seeing as he isn’t playing this week now anyway
I feel Neto and Podence are more secure Wolves picks though for 0.3 more.Good shout.
I don't have Watkins in my team he's a bit frustrating because he's only scored in 2 games?Why not Watkins? He got pens!
Only thing is, those of us who had Jiminez were kind of frustrated with him not scoring enough. Is bringing in Fabio likely to be any better?Lads Fabio Silva at 5.2 is good value. he’s next in line to be the starting ST for wolves for who knows how long.

Yeah my friend benched Watkins vs Arsenal and Bowen last night with Watkins starting.I don't have Watkins in my team he's a bit frustrating because he's only scored in 2 games?
I'm hoping that after that miss Grealish will be back on pens. I don't know why he gave them to Watkins in the first place.
Neither can play up front though. Nor can Adama. Don't see them having any alternatives to a number 9.I feel Neto and Podence are more secure Wolves picks though for 0.3 more.
