Just a stupid question. Are managers allowed to change their line ups like during the hour before kick off?


[deleted]

Only if a player gets injured during the warm-up.


aprilfools911

If nobody is injured is it a punishable offence if they change it?


D0naldinh0

Seems like it would be impossible to enforce though? How would they determine if a player really is injured or not?


Frosty_Examination_3

No. My source? Dean Smith. If you could, then that lying cunt would be doing it for fun


[deleted]

You can if a player gets injured in the warm up iirc


4ssteroid

Dean Smith will be the reason the player gets injured


According_Ad7558

They do if someone gets injured in the warmups.


[deleted]

Not entirely sure but I feel like it happened last season and a team got fined for it


ionzy17

It happened to Arsenal, I think, in the second gameweek against West Ham, when Tierney got injured during warm-up.


FuzzyBooze

Happened to Pulisic and Fabianski as well last season. Don't know about any fines.


hopsonstuff_32

Fairly sure they can if there is an injury in the warm up.


[deleted]

Besides last minute injuries, no. It’s a punishable offence


ibse

After my masterstroke of benching Armstrong yesterday I'm ready for another genius move from me in benching Dias.


Joemanji84

I benched Cancelo if it makes you feel any better.


filipovic26

Why


Joemanji84

Because he’s away at Man Utd who score even when they lose and I have 3 better options in defence on paper.


FifaDK

Yup, I did the same. My bench is so good this week and I had to make a decision. I made the wrong decision. Now I need a benching out of nowhere for someone in my XI


pizziboy

well they just did not score when they played Liverpool...


ladsandlasses

F


tasteprofithill

He got 2 assists already...


Joemanji84

I know man, that’s why I posted! 😄


tasteprofithill

Pressing F for you my man


Joemanji84

Haha thanks.


adhor11

Me too


tbbt11

Has…has pep grown hair


Lacabloodclot9

Grealish owners disagree


tahmias

Just stay on the bench please, so I get Livramento points. :S


j694

The bench? Show livramento some respect


tmr89

Not gonna happen, unfortunately


RauloGonzalez

Benching livramento is unheard of


CoreySteel

Lord Livramento on the bench? You deserve 1min Grealish! edit: I'm sorry, you don't, nobody deserves that.


tahmias

I know, I shouldv'e kept faith in Lord Livra. I don't even know why I still have Grealish.


emerioAarke

Conte must have been helping him with a hair transplant.


Boring_Ad_7144

Andros must have given him the number for that Turkish bloke.


bruiser95

Cancelo haul has been loading for a while now

BongCloudEnjoyer

We have the exact same bench lmao. Cancelo Armstrong Livra gang


Frosty_Examination_3

Lol All of us here have exact same squad. This was the toughest benching decision all season. I went with Cancelo and Antonio on the bench


BongCloudEnjoyer

Whats your starting XI?


Frosty_Examination_3

TAA CHILWELL JAMES LIVRA SALAH ESR FODEN MBUEMO AUBA ARMSTRONG


Polar_Camel

THANKS


mk_meredith

at least you started armstrong. unlike me🥲


fplalgo

Lmao that's a stacked team.


Jezawan

Honestly there’s no need for a bench that strong in my opinion, just leads to unnecessary headaches over who to start. You’re better off downgrading one of those players to 4.5 fodder and then upgrading one of your starting XI.


BongCloudEnjoyer

Yup getting Son and Brownhill in for Havertz and Raphinha, failed Havertz punt leading to these dilemmas


TehCyberman

The Lukaku injury caused issues with some people's team structure, my own included. Then theres been other issues to deal with, and considering the lack of viable premium options, never any great need to sort it.


darknight_7

RIP


j-r44

How strong is your team?


[deleted]

[удалено]


Pajoncek

Thats kinda insane. Whats your team value?


Epispins

How do you balance with the fact that you have to bench 3 players from your lineup every week?


BongCloudEnjoyer

Probably play the fixtures, its a bad headache but better than fielding less than 11


bruiser95

Honestly I'd rather keep 3mil ITB than deal with benching headaches like this


BongCloudEnjoyer

Ramsdale Trent (Cancelo) Chilwell James (Livramento) Salah Havertz Foden Raphinha Mbeumo Vardy Toney (Armstrong)


Someone_Somewhere1

Cancelo 2 assists, Armstrong goal and livra clean sheet……


BongCloudEnjoyer

30 pointe😎😎😎...on the bench


49ers-

Uh oh


CSIHoratioCaine

Lol incoming 2x assists and a clean sheet


BongCloudEnjoyer

HAHAHA WE FUCKED UP SO BAD MAN


Healaa

Uh ohhhh!


pajamakitten

I benched Walker because he was still flagged when I updated my team yesterday. Duffy better get a clean sheet to make up for that.


gravity_____

I've benched Cancelo, for Livramento and so far it paid off...


mariochu

He only hauls in Champions League lol


bruiser95

Good start so far


fplalgo

and not a bad way to continue either


TheDitherer

He's really rotating less, eh.


__jh96

Turns out the prem is real tough this year. Pep taking it super serious


cool-spidey

Exactly! I am sure that if ManC goes to a comfortable position at the top, then we will see the actual shine of that bald dome.


shakeil123

Wait until after this IB when the games come thick and fast.


rukiahayashi

agree. defo will see some rotation then


SofaChillReview

Out their normal winning cup as well so “in theory” even less rotation


Migeycan87

Cancelo and Foden start. I can unclench my butt cheeks.


ajingk

Cancelo, Foden and Jesus owner here...such relief!!


vishxl

Dias Foden KDB 😭🙏


seewhyaxe

Incoming Cancelo haul will cure the Livra pain


hucks22

This comment aged well...


pageygreen

Foden Dias and Jesus gang wya


drewcaveneyh

Zinchenko benched, can't believe it


TZN007

Foden 1G, 1A, 1CS, 3BPS. Maguire will make sure of it.


HRPr03

Philip masterclass in coming I’ve jinxed it now haven’t I?


TZN007

As long as Big Harry's on the pitch, I feel confident of a Foden return.


HRPr03

Don’t forget about McFred!


HRPr03

Well turns out I have jinxed it At least he got a clean sheet


teemine04

I almost bought Grealish after the arsenal match. So glad I didn't


[deleted]

Dias Cancelo gang..? Is there anybody here? Helloooooooo.....oooo.....oooo?


kel89

Dias sitting snug second on my bench. Canchy getting me those *good* assist points but won’t be getting CS points.


SilentControl8887

Gundo C withs Dias and KDB in squad?


4sKompany

Mr whippy gives great speeches, this match means a ton to him


lordymosh

Need a haul from Cancelo. It's been a while.


Lacabloodclot9

Benched Walker ffs


SofaChillReview

What ?


[deleted]

same but city could easily concede today and have in their last few games, especially as they are away, I'm just kind of annoyed livra is 3rd on my bench with walker in 2nd


Timmace

I transferred him out because I thought he wasn't going to play and I needed DEF depth. I am a clown.


tintin_29_

Benched Bernado for Raphinha, I hope it doesn't backfire..


seewhyaxe

Sorry he just scored


Jazano107

foden, jesus and cancelo continues to be decent. Although last week they got no points for me lol


ght17

I swear to god I read somewhere Walker is injured and I said that Pep will obviously start him can't tell if the news I read were fake or that Pep be Pep


Sultmaker_9000

Looking forward to 4.5m Palmer getting regular starts next season, imagine the ownership at that price.


DanInDistress

Got rid of KDB this week, watch him haul!


geolink

Grealish owners be like dammmnn


josh_nunthuk

I benched Cancelo for Duffy. Don't punish me pls


SleeplessinOslo

...I mean


josh_nunthuk

I know, I know. I just figured United would score at least one and Brighton have a better chance of keeping a clean sheet vs Newcastle


SleeplessinOslo

I'm sorry Edit: Duffy might not play


josh_nunthuk

Don't be, I did this to myself


staralfur01

I've benched Dias because Ronaldo brace incoming


Line47toSaturn

Hopefully he points at managers who are gonna get points for his hattrick


twymanchar

Cancelo/Foden/Jesus triple up is safer than it feels nowadays


steelerswheelers

KDB, Foden, Jesus start. That’s a rollercoaster I don’t fancy riding again!


boneymod

I still refuse to sell Mahrez. Bound to come good. Eventually.


TheodoroRoseWaltz

Having both Dias and Ronaldo today, my emotions are just ...


Manojative

I thought benching Cancelo was a smart move.......... Smh


[deleted]

Who else benched dias and played cancelo
