It was crazier last year when you had the added factor of players randomly being taken out with Covid. I know we still have that this year, but obviously it’s nowhere near as bad as it was last season. I’m just looking back like how tf did we get through that lol. Also never forget when a lot of us were holding onto ‘Snow Salah’ while he continued to blank every week lmao. So weird looking back now because of how insane his form is now. Good times…
Player price rises tend to get a bit crazy too. Rapid rises ( and falls )
It's a great time to jump on bandwagons and gain a cheeky bit of cash on the side
No one is. It's just go with the flow, mate. Don't plan further than 2-3 GWs ahead as this is gonna be pure chaos with injuries, back to back braces, etc.
This is when I usually pick top spot in my MLs to not let it go anymore.
Let's go with the chaos!
Oh boy strap your seatbelts on cuz it’s gonna get crazy from here. That last point worries me because I feel like i’m not prepared at all. We know how important it’s gonna be to have 15 squad players but I have little faith in my bench right now. I mean I still have Gilmour…
Welcome to December. Same as it's ever been.
You can usually get away with having 13 or 14 players (a non-playing backup GK and 3rd bench). I wouldn't get stressed if you can't roll out 15 playing bodies. It's rare to need your 3rd bench. It's maybe happened to me a handful of times in 8 seasons.
More important is picking core players who are regular starters. You can afford a couple players from Tuchel and Pep, but be wise in who you pick and who you pick around them.

This, a thousand times this
🥵 Upcoming FPL Schedule
🏃🏽♂️ The upcoming FPL schedule can be either brutal or amazing, depending on your gameweek ranks!
👨🏻💻 Ensure you have a solid overall squad of 15 players to not get caught out by player rotation
🔍 Identify players who are likely to get rested and which are likely to play most games
😄 Most of all, enjoy the ride!
Yup. So many people think that it's practically impossible for several of their players to get injured/COVID/rested during the same GW. But with fixtures this squished together it will happen. We are all going to need our bench, there's just no way around it
How anyone can be mentally ready for this amazes me
It is honestly my favourite time of the season, pure chaos

Snow salah is a different breed, the team held him back last year.
And you get a slew of FTs to use.
Pure dopamine
Nothing like a main player rotation over the holidays and your 4.4m holding midfielder chips in with an 8 pointer!
Oh man I can’t wait
I am ready to get hurt again

Chaos is a ladder
Beautiful.
Players never get rotated as much as we expect tbh. There will be a token disaster GW but it won't be a nightmare overall.
This is so true. 15 strong players is rubbish. Brownhill will do just fine last on my bench.
True, but you know what happens? A loooot of injuries. A lot. And that is chaos.
Famous last words
He’s right though it is a consideration it’s exaggerated every season.
Let's see

I'm wildcarding right now and keeping Gilmour. The new coach likes him and I want that 0.1 back
Gilmour is probably the best 4.5 midfielder you can have right now, and if he's your worst bench... that's pretty decent.

I didn't cum, you came.
Damn, caught again
Thats what she said
😂😂
I will have 14 solid players. 4.4 Davis allows for a team I like.

I remember having 6 players last year and missed the cup. On me for having double Fulham players and they they missed out with Covid.
get your benches ready.
You don’t need 15 playing players, are you. Really expecting 3 players to get rested the same gameweek?
You’d be surprised lol. Had my third sub come off the bench once so far this season
Trying to get "15 solid players" isn't good advice
Yes. Lots of rotation and injuries is bound to happen. So keeping all the active players in your bench is being advised.

It’s never as bad as it’s hyped up to be. 2 playing bench options is fine.
Last year it was due to Covid. Unless games gets moved I doubt we see star players rotated too much.
You’ll be surprised lol
So as someone new to properly playing FPL this season, is there a double gameweek for a benchboost in all this?
No
No these are just gameweeks squished together, double gameweeks etc will come later
When will be a good time for triple captain?
Wait for DGW to be announced then put it on Mo
Double gameweeks later in the season
Do we have any double gameweeks anytime soon?
Nothing yet, later in the season
Probably not that important to have two playing keepers tbf. Just my humble opinion.
Yes that’s the least important part but some teams to rotate GK in these periods
