    Here's my opinion on setting up a bench for the fixture congestion, especially for those on a WC:

    I want and would advise a *playing* bench, not a heavy bench

    With CR7 coming in soon, while monitoring Kane under Conte, there's a good chance I'd want a premium striker with Salah soon

    This means funds would be needed from elsewhere, especially anybody who isn't in my starting XI

    Here's the bench I have in mind:

    Foster • Livra/Johnson/4.4 D • 4.4 M • 4.4 M

    This gives a playing sub who'll come in for any missing asset during the rotation-heavy period, and counts as a blank (2 or 3 points) for that my first XI player

    Maybe it's just my luck, but I'm more likely to have Gallagher in my XI for his 2-pointers and on my bench for his 11-pointers, because good players don't always follow fixtures for their returns

    With my 4-3-3 and a light but *playing* bench, I have no issues with rotation (4.4 M comes in with 2 points), and I can afford the best players possible in my XI. I can then focus transfers on improving my most likely scores for each GW, by changing first-team players

    Good luck all 🙂

      Nice post
      I'm on a WC and my current bench is Foster, Broja, Normaan, Johnson

      Looks weak but finding it so difficult without crippling my starting 11, have looked at Davies/Ombanbdi etc so better than that I guess?
