Following on from last week's explanation of why the Bench is so important, I thought I'd better add a further point on the folly of leaving holes on the Bench.
Having non-starters - or players performing so weakly that you can't rely on them even to come out of a match with their bare minimum 2 'appearance points' intact (so many people try to save money by going for a defender from a promoted side: that is almost always a Trail of Tears....) - in the squad is effectively leaving A GAP on your Bench. And a gap on the Bench, as I discussed in that earlier post, can all too easily translate into a gap in your starting eleven.
Sooner or later - probably quite soon! - an empty seat on the Bench is going to cost you points.
Moreover, a player who's out for an extended spell with an injury, or otherwise appears to have lost a regular start at his club, or is just returning really dismal points.... will get rapidly sold off by FPL managers who are paying attention. If you are slow to do likewise, or somehow fail to do so at all, you will bleed squad value, as that player's price plummets.
If you see a player pick up a bad injury, you need to sell them straight away. Any player who's not starting regularly or not returning well - needs to be sold promptly. You cannot afford to carry dead weight on your Bench - EVER.
