FPL Gameweek 2 team news and injury updates so far

There were only four pre-Gameweek 2 virtual media gatherings on Thursday afternoon, with the bulk of the conference calls set to follow on Friday.

With there being four Premier League teams in Carabao Cup action on Thursday evening and Tottenham Hotspur starting their UEFA Europa League campaign in Bulgaria, however, not all 20 top-flight managers will give stand-alone press conferences ahead of Saturday’s Fantasy Premier League deadline.

Jose Mourinho, for example, is only scheduled to face the media immediately after full-time in Plovdiv, so any fresh injury concerns that only become apparent between then and Sunday’s clash with Southampton may well go unreported.

Here’s what we know so far.

THURSDAY’S PRESSERS

The managers of the three newly promoted clubs and Crystal Palace were all facing the media on Thursday afternoon.

Two of the sides who came up from the Championship last season, Leeds United and Fulham, meet each other this weekend.

Adam Forshaw (hip) remains unavailable for that match but Marcelo Bielsa revealed on Thursday that he expects Liam Cooper to be fit, with the Scotland international having missed out on the opening weekend with a minor calf problem:

We think Cooper will be ready to play the game on Saturday, there are no new injuries from the last few days. Forshaw he’s been taking part in collective training today apart from any actual playing of football. Next week his rehabilitation will continue.

New signing Rodrigo was among the 11 changes that Bielsa made for the Whites’ EFL Cup defeat to Hull City in midweek.

When asked about the Spaniard’s match-fitness, the Argentinean strongly hinted at another start for Patrick Bamford at the weekend:

He’s already ready [for the Premier League]. He won’t start the game at the weekend but he’s in a good condition to start if we want him too.

Aleksandar Mitrovic was among the starters in Fulham’s win over Ipswich Town in midweek, following his benching in Gameweek 1.

All of the Cottagers’ players appeared to come through unscathed from that encounter, with boss Scott Parker saying:

Everyone pulled through last night. We got back late, the players have just been in the gym for recovery. We’ll have a gauge on it tomorrow morning on exactly where everyone is. At this moment there’s nothing jumping and I suspect we’ll be ok.

A number of Fulham’s new signings also featured in the EFL Cup and, when asked about whether any of them would feature against Leeds this weekend, Parker said:

We’ll have to see really. We got back in the early hours, players are just reporting in to do their recovery so the first time we will see the boys on the training field will be tomorrow. We’ll make a judgement on where we see the players physically.

This is a league where you can’t afford to carry players. When you’re us you need to be at your peak of fitness. With the quick turnaround in pre-season and players late coming into the building, some are just a little bit short at the moment.

Hopefully, we can get some out there because that will make us stronger but I’m not going to risk long term injury of the players.

Nathan Ferguson (knee), Gary Cahill (hamstring), James Tomkins (thigh) and Patrick van Aanholt (shoulder) remain sidelined ahead of the trip to Manchester United, while Connor Wickham (unknown) and Christian Benteke (foot) have only just returned to training and won’t be considered for selection.

Roy Hodgson also said that Mamadou Sakho isn’t yet match-fit enough despite featuring in the EFL Cup in midweek but Jairo Riedewald is expected to be back in training on Friday after a minor muscle problem forced his absence in Gameweek 1.

The Palace boss said:

We are starting to get players back from injury. Mamadou Sakho, of course, is the latest to be able to take part in training sessions. Christian Benteke and Connor Wickham took part in today’s training session, albeit with Connor it was more modified than with Christian.

We hope also that Jaïro Riedewald will train tomorrow – he didn’t train with the first-team today – but we hope he will tomorrow having recovered from the injury he picked up last week.

In terms of fitness of players, we are in a much healthier position than we have been in some time.

There was another mention of budget FPL defender Ferguson when Hodgson discussed free agent Nathaniel Clyne, who is training with the Eagles:

He’s hoping to show to us and maybe other clubs his fitness. It might be [something we’re interested in], but a lot hinges on Nathan Ferguson and how his injury situation pans out over the next few weeks.

Matt Phillips and Conor Townsend both made a playing return for West Bromwich Albion in midweek but Ahmed Hegazi was absent, with Slaven Bilic explaining:

Hegazi was on the bench on Sunday. He came in on Monday, the guys who didn’t play against Leicester had training. He did his hamstring in training, that’s the reason why he wasn’t involved tonight.

Monday or even yesterday they didn’t know how big it is. It shouldn’t be big, he didn’t do it in a sprint or anything like that. Hopefully, it’s a smaller one.

Kenneth Zohore (calf) remains sidelined.

There were 11 Premier League clubs in Gameweek 1 action who subsequently played in the EFL Cup second round in midweek – and eight of them made 10 or more changes to their starting XI.

Southampton were the only top-flight side who went (almost) full strength, although Wolves’ three first-choice centre-halves, Adama Traore and Leander Dendoncker all kept their places from Monday night; ironically, those two clubs bowed out of the competition.

An ankle injury to Jarrad Branthwaite meant that Lucas Digne was thrown on as a 24th-minute substitute in Everton’s 3-0 win over Salford City, while Nathan Redmond was forced off in Saints’ 2-0 loss to Brentford.

With James Tarkowski ruled out with a “toe injury” amid mounting speculation over his future, Burnley lost another body when Johann Berg Gudmundsson was stretchered off after quarter of an hour in Burnley’s match with Sheffield United.

Dale Stephens limped off with five minutes to go in Brighton’s 4-0 win over Portsmouth on Thursday evening.

Meanwhile, in the Europa League, Mourinho made only four changes for Spurs’ 2-1 win over Lokomotiv Plovdiv.

Son Heung-min, Harry Kane and Matt Doherty all got 90-minute run-outs but Dele Alli didn’t make the trip.

Giovani Lo Celso made his return from injury and lasted the entire game.

    Can I lose Bamford and Willian on WC yet? Both on 30 something on FPL stats and doesn’t seem likely now they will rise another 0.1 overnight

    1. Whiskerz
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      might as well keep right until last price rise deadline. Just decide your team without ahead of time

        I have done, just don’t want to get hit by a bus and have Bamford in my team

          Don't get hit by a bus

          stay away from the road, you will be fine

      You have my permission.

    3. Duffy Dunk

      They have nice gw2 fixtures though.

    4. Amey

      If your targeted players aren't rising what is the hurry ?

      1. Miguel Sanchez
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        The sight of Bamford - will probably get a sense of whether they will rise once the Friday lunch time casuals log in and make their changes

    5. Party time
        3 years, 6 months ago

        Willian is a solid pick this gw. You could as well keep him. Bamford, nice fixture too. Both could score well this gw especially Willian

      • RAFA THE GAFFA
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        How’s the final WC looking mate? I though you had Willian?

        See what the status is later today

      • rokonto
        • 8 Years

        Isn't Willian a great pick this season?

        1. Miguel Sanchez
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 7 Years
          3 years, 6 months ago

          He could be but has some tricky away times coming up and competition from Saka and Pepe

    6. Catastrophe
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Been thinking all week it would be daft to WC after one game and a respectable score of 72 but was likely to WC GW3 to address some issues that aren't looking great (albeit only after one game; Soton double up, Davies, Mitro, Soucek, maybe Taylor/Werner v short term). But my WC3 draft would actually be really strong this gameweek:

      Leno
      TAA, Digne, James, Justin
      Salah, Aubameyang, Fernandes, Willian
      Wilson, Bamford

      (Nyland, Bissouma, Mitchell, Brewster)

      Triple up on Arsenal for WHU, catch Digne/Justin/Bamford for great home fixtures etc. Alternatively Jimenez over Willian and downgrade Leno?

      GW3 Auba -> KDB
      GW4 Bissouma -> Jorginho or Mitchell -> 4.5

      Feels either very wrong or very right!

      Thoughts? Cheers.

      1. Pukki Party
        • 6 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        It's a good team. Personally i'd still have one 8.5-9.5 forward as there are a lot of good players in that bracket. If you wait until next week i'd certainly get Jimenez in, Willian, Leno and Bamford to 5.5 mid, 4.5 gk, Jimmy. But for this week triple Arsenal looks good obviously.

        1. Catastrophe
          • 13 Years
          3 years, 6 months ago

          Cheers. Yeah perhaps the Jimi option is best/more balanced. Doesn't feel right going with zero Arsenal though!

          1. Pukki Party
            • 6 Years
            3 years, 6 months ago

            You have Auba?

            1. Pukki Party
              • 6 Years
              3 years, 6 months ago

              Not in your current draft? I'd maybe wildcard and get Jimmy this week, WC is long term after all.

              1. Catastrophe
                • 13 Years
                3 years, 6 months ago

                I would keep Auba this week (and captain) but shift him out for KDB next week.

                Would be ok with Jimi home to City to avoid more pre planned transfers i think.

                Cheers! Anything I can help with?

                1. Pukki Party
                  • 6 Years
                  3 years, 6 months ago

                  Nah thanks. Will ask after pressers, my transfers depend on Pulisic fitness.

                  1. Catastrophe
                    • 13 Years
                    3 years, 6 months ago

                    Good luck!

        • 9 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        I'd hold off from WC for a GW. Ideally, I wouldn't want any Arsenal after this GW you would have 2 plus your tieing up an FT getting rid of a third.

        1. Catastrophe
          • 13 Years
          3 years, 6 months ago

          cheers. Yesh some good advice already and IF on WC would seem a good strategy just go with Auba (c) this week then go Arse-Less until their fixtures turn

      3. Miguel Sanchez
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        Bamford on borrowed time until Rodrigo is fit. Can you stretch to Watkins?

        1. Catastrophe
          • 13 Years
          3 years, 6 months ago

          Cheers - I can but it would mean having to go with one 4.5 GK and a pretty bad bench

    7. Wakanda
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      They were saying the HT sub is tactical.
      And then he was being left out in last night euorpa match ?

      Is Alli injured or did he incurr the wraith of Jose ?
      Or is his fitness that weak that he is doing his own recovery at home ?

    8. CONNERS
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      The best thing about the Thiago Alcantara transfer will be hearing Jamie Carragher trying to pronounce his name.

    9. g40steve
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Greenwood, will he play?

      1. Catastrophe
        • 13 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        I vote yes!

      2. Ranger3
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        Wait for Ole presser

      3. g40steve
        • 6 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        Ta

    10. Karan14
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Gone for Ollie Watkins over Wilson.

      Let's see he how it goes!

      1. Flair
        • 3 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        I like it, he should profit with Grealish's chance creation

        Don't like Newcastle and Bruce, even with the 4-2-3-1

        1. Karan14
          • 7 Years
          3 years, 6 months ago

          Quite optimistic about Villa this season. Seem have spent wisely this summer.

      2. Azathoth
        • 9 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        If Ollie delivers that means Grealish will be an option too.....

        1. Karan14
          • 7 Years
          3 years, 6 months ago

          Grealish will definitely be a better option this season. I think he will do pretty well and he is one of the reasons I went for Watkins.

        2. Bring back Rafa
          • 4 Years
          3 years, 6 months ago

          Grealish is an option with or without Watkins. Maybe not a season long option, but a very good short-term one when Villa have nice fixtures. Was excellent last season and still nicely priced.
          I see myself swapping between him, Hames & Greenwood as a 3rd or 4th mid.

          1. Karan14
            • 7 Years
            3 years, 6 months ago

            Well Grealish definitely needed someone who finishes the chances he creates.

        I wouldn't captain Kane if Spurs were playing Accrington Stanley.

        Both good this week.
        Rodriguez after this week.

            This

        2. Make United Great Again

      2. The 12th Man
        • 10 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        I’m on WC.
        Struggling to decide between these two drafts.

        A.
        Martinez
        TAA,Coleman,Lewis
        Salah,Fernandes,Rodriguez,Podence/Klich
        Jimenez,Richarlison,Martial

        Steer,Saiss,Bissouma, Mitchell.

        B.
        Martinez
        TAA,Digne, Ayling,Lewis
        KDB,Salah,Rodriguez,Podence/Klich
        Martial,Werner

        Steer, Saiss,Bissouma,Brewster

        Team A means no Chelsea for wk 3,4,5 (c) option but Jimenez and Rich.
        Team B . KDB and Werner but no Jimenez.

        1. Miguel Sanchez
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 7 Years
          3 years, 6 months ago

          Steer may lock you out of a Grealish/Watkins double up should that become an option at some point.

          I am looking at other 4.0 GKs now with Martinez, Steer will only be number 2 whilst Heaton is still out.

          1. The 12th Man
            • 10 Years
            3 years, 6 months ago

            It won’t .
            Would never double up on an attack that don’t score many goals.

            1. Karan14
              • 7 Years
              3 years, 6 months ago

              They didn't score goals because they didn't have a finisher.

              1. The 12th Man
                • 10 Years
                3 years, 6 months ago

                I’m not saying they won’t score more.
                Grealish and Watkins. I think it would be one or the other if they became an option.

                For me anyway.

            2. Miguel Sanchez
              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • 7 Years

              Never say never, new season, new rules.

              Just my two cents, you know which of those sides I prefer

              1. The 12th Man
                • 10 Years
                3 years, 6 months ago

                I do yeh.
                Those Chelsea fixtures without any attack look scary though.

                1. Miguel Sanchez
                  • Fantasy Football Scout Member
                  • 7 Years
                  3 years, 6 months ago

                  Think Chelsea attack may take a while to click without Ziyech and Pulisic though, but scoring three times when the attack hasn’t clicked is ominous

        2. CONNERS
          • 5 Years
          3 years, 6 months ago

          I'd go B.

          Can always get Jimmy and Greenwood in place of Martial / Rodriguez if G'wood looks like keeping his place.

          1. The 12th Man
            • 10 Years
            3 years, 6 months ago

            This is true.

        3. Make United Great Again
          • 11 Years
          3 years, 6 months ago

          Really like B

        4. Make United Great Again
          • 11 Years
          3 years, 6 months ago

          Also how are you feeling about no Aubameyang this week? Risky don’t you think

          1. The 12th Man
            • 10 Years
            3 years, 6 months ago

            Yeh Salah could be Aubamayang but that’s booking in a transfer next week. So I’m 50/50 on that one as Salah against Kepa could do well too.

            1. Make United Great Again
              • 11 Years
              3 years, 6 months ago

              I see. For me Salah’s firmly in my team (also on WC).

              Auba (C) this week and will sell for KDB GW3.

              Martial will probably be my only United attacker going forward

              1. The 12th Man
                • 10 Years
                3 years, 6 months ago

                I would have to find 0.5 to change KDB to Auba which is tough as I like the set up in defence .
                Reluctant to downgrade Digne .

                1. Make United Great Again
                  • 11 Years
                  3 years, 6 months ago

                  Fair enough!

            2. HVT
              • 13 Years
              3 years, 6 months ago

              Cap Martial or Bruno

              1. The 12th Man
                • 10 Years
                3 years, 6 months ago

                Probably Martial if I decide to go Salah over Auba

        5. g40steve
          • 6 Years
          3 years, 6 months ago

          B needs United
          A needs City

          Need more data, to determine one off stats?

          1. The 12th Man
            • 10 Years
            3 years, 6 months ago

            B has United. Unsure whether their fixtures warrant doubling up.

            It’s a juggling act between the premiums.
            That’s why I like Martial and Werner and change the 2 midfield premiums between Liverpool,City/Auba .

            1. Make United Great Again
              • 11 Years
              3 years, 6 months ago

              Yep. Best way imo. Realistically can only have 2 of Auba/Salah/Bruno/KDB.

              Can’t have em all!

            2. Party time
                3 years, 6 months ago

                Personally, I wouldn’t double up on Utd now. Their fixtures are ok but not as nice. Martial is enough for me for now. I would bring in Bruno later

                1. The 12th Man
                  • 10 Years
                  3 years, 6 months ago

                  Thanks.

            B - Podence

        6. Miguel Sanchez
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 7 Years
          3 years, 6 months ago

          Remind me which 4.0 GK is less likely to drop in price. Highest owned needing more transfers out or lowest owned but needing fewer transfers out?

          1. Party time
              3 years, 6 months ago

              Button?

              I am on Emi & Steer on WC too

              1. Miguel Sanchez
                • Fantasy Football Scout Member
                • 7 Years
                3 years, 6 months ago

                See my point above, Steer is only number 2 for a few more weeks

                1. Bring back Rafa
                  • 4 Years
                  3 years, 6 months ago

                  Even if Steer is number 3 he is still worth getting over another $4.0 provided you never want a Villa double-up.

                  Every chance Heaton gets sold or injured again

                  1. Miguel Sanchez
                    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
                    • 7 Years
                    3 years, 6 months ago

                    I assessed the probability of me wanting Grealish/Watkins double up greater than Martinez getting injured/suspended whilst Steer was still number 2 and Heaton not leaving the club

                    1. Flair
                      • 3 Years
                      3 years, 6 months ago

                      That GW9-26 run is an absolute sea of green fixtures so that's a great approach to take

                    2. Party time
                        3 years, 6 months ago

                        This gw Martinez should be number 1 but if he doesn’t start then Steer would come in, hopefully. I don’t want to be in a situation whereby Martinez isn’t starting & then I have another 4.0 who is nailed not to start as well

                2. The 12th Man
                  • 10 Years
                  3 years, 6 months ago

                  Is your draft close to either of my options?

                  1. Party time
                      3 years, 6 months ago

                      Haha... No! Although I really like
                      yours, preferably option A but it is a tight call & no Chelsea could be bad. You don’t fancy Arsenal this gw too?

                      I’ve got Laca & Willian for this gw only

                      1. The 12th Man
                        • 10 Years
                        3 years, 6 months ago

                        I love Arsenal for this week.

                      2. The 12th Man
                        • 10 Years
                        3 years, 6 months ago

                        Laca and Willian just for this week could really pay off for you.

                        1. Party time
                            3 years, 6 months ago

                            Yeah. My WC looks more like a free hit team. I just want to attack this gw like how a Lion would feast on a Gazelle.

                            Laca, Vardy, Martial as my front 3. I think that is good enough for this gw tbh. Vardy captain

                    Last season the Highest owned has dropped to 3.9, think it was Button

                  Hi guys,

                  Any recommended transfers? Thinking about using WC to get in some Man United/City assets however I feel as though it's too early.

                  3 years, 6 months ago

                  What chance would you give for Aguero starting both Leicester and Leeds games?

                  1. Miguel Sanchez
                    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
                    • 7 Years

                    50:50

                    1. Eleven Hag
                      • 6 Years
                      3 years, 6 months ago

                      Do you think it's wise to setup the WC team to accomodate Aguero for captaining him in those games?

                      1. Miguel Sanchez
                        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
                        • 7 Years
                        3 years, 6 months ago

                        It’s not unwise if you think he is the best captaincy option. Would you book in a transfer or start with Agüero vs Wolves?

                        1. Eleven Hag
                          • 6 Years
                          3 years, 6 months ago

                          Martial with 1.5 ITB is what iam thinking

                  2. Flair
                    • 3 Years
                    3 years, 6 months ago

                    0% if he doesn't play against Wolves which is very likely

                5. Fernando Torres
                  • 12 Years
                  3 years, 6 months ago

                  A) James + Richarl (can be later moved to Pulisic and Jimi)
                  B) Salah + Justin (would start)

                  Which is better... essentially Salah + 4.5m defender or two mid-higher price midfielder and forward

                    What move did you make? Ings to Martial

                  Do you think Davies will start with Reguilon in the side or does he lose his place?

                  1. Miguel Sanchez
                    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
                    • 7 Years
                    3 years, 6 months ago

                    Only if José adopts a 3-5-2

                    1. Bring back Rafa
                      • 4 Years
                      3 years, 6 months ago

                      I think Jose will adopt a 3-5-2 and I think Davies will most likely become a LCB in this system.
                      Granted Jose has never used wing backs before, but he also has always had 1 attacking fullback and 1 more defensive full back, so it makes no sense at all buying 2 attacking fullbacks if he wants to persist with 4atb

                      1. Miguel Sanchez
                        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
                        • 7 Years
                        3 years, 6 months ago

                        Not sure how you accommodate Bale, Son and Kane in a 3-5-2

                        Think he sticks with 4-3-3

                        1. Flair
                          • 3 Years
                          3 years, 6 months ago

                          Plays 3-4-3

                          But I agree on the 4-3-3

                  2. CONNERS
                    • 5 Years
                    3 years, 6 months ago

                    Perhaps. Or maybe they'll be rotated in PL, EL cup games, etc.

                    I will replace him with Saiss most likely.

                    • 3 Years
                    3 years, 6 months ago

                    Loses it, Jose loves his 4ATB formations

                      • 11 Years
                      3 years, 6 months ago

                      The optimum formation to accommodate the new signings would be 3-4-3 with wingbacks, but Mou may be averse to that. So for me, it's a wait and see before considering any Spuds.

                    Next week will have to take a hit to remove auba for city and sort Davies out
                    Is it advisable to take a hit for Taylor this week and get someone like ayling?

                            Taylor will play. Could be as a CB though

                        Well I sold him earlier in the week if that helps but he was always a placeholder. The consensus on here is to sell if you have a good alternative.

                      2. Blues for Salah

                        I don't think he's going to drop another 0.1 before you get a chance to see if he'll play or not on Sunday, so you might as well stick it out. Lo Celso played the full 90 on Thursday and is coming back from injury if memory serves.

                        Given that most of the rest of the squad went to Bulgaria and back while Dele was left at home, I kinda suspect he'll play on Sunday. If he doesn't, I'd put a fork in him.

                          Someone on twitter posts the weekly clean sheet probability percentages quantified from the bookies odds

                      A) save Son & transfer, 2 weeks later get Bruno
                      B) get Rashford now, leave Bruno alone

                      How comes TAA hasn’t dropped?

                      350k transfers out

                        Ownership Imo - Werner also hasn’t dropped with higher ownership

                        The consensus on here is it’s based on net transfers - if that were the case it’d be easy to predict

                      If I get Holding instead of Gabriel I can upgrade Bamford to Rodrigo in weeks to come if need be.
                      Good idea?
                      Is Holding more nailed this season?

                          Yes, he is. I think Holding is nailed in a back 3 when Luiz is back & not in a back 4 with Luiz(Gabriel & Luiz ) but Arsenal’s fixtures after this gw aren’t as appealing as the first 2 fixtures

                        • 9 Years

                        Steer
                        Taa Justin Dallas
                        Salah Soucek Son Auba
                        Ings Werner Mitro

                        McCarthy Bissouma kwp Mitchell

                        I’m so so tempted to hold the transfer so I can go:

                        Rashford & KDB for Son & Salah next week

                        Which would leave me with 1 in the bank if they don’t rise by the time I bring them in

                        I’m also caught as to weather to make the transfer now, I’m avoiding Bruno because I feel Rashford could catch people off guard on fpl

                        I think the price changes are making people jump ship on players they will probably want to bring in less than a couple weeks in simply on fixtures alone

                        Am I crazy in this plan?

                        A) ings to martial
                        B) save ft and hope kdb and fernandes don’t rise then bring them in for havertz and auba next week for free

                          Fernandes seems certain to rise not sure about Kdb, United do have decent games coming up with palace and Brighton so if it’s a must get Tony M

                          Though you could get Rash and save more too

                        Doubled up with Leeds aka project Beilsa.

                        Ayling & Harrsion. Thoughts?

                          3 years, 6 months ago

                          It’s a brave move and no doubt many of us are watching them, Leeds will definitely aim to choke and score against EVERYONE, but could suffer burnout quick

                          For now it’s a good shout as a diff

                          Wouldn't double up on a promoted team, too risky - one is enough

                          Very decent punt

                        Son still not dropping in price is shocking, I’m living dangerously by just watching it

                        what do you guys think of Foden? Will he start perhaps?

                          Never know with pep, surely with no David Silva he gets a look in , but then BSilva is also adept there and is a more accomplished player

                          Then factoring in the hotel fiasco , pep may bring him from the bench to save him pressure , or vice versa

                          I’d bet on the former (starts on the bench)
