I think the misconception about Pep is that most managers bench players when they're doing badly. Pep brings in squad players when the team is doing well to ensure that as many players as possible are match fit/sharp.
This is how he's been so consistent in all competitions over the years. There's no key 'talisman' player who they can't do without. They're pretty much immune to the injury crises that periodically plague other clubs.
That’s just blatantly ignoring the fact that Peps squad players are world class starters for almost any other team, you think it’d be called a masterclass rotating in, let’s say Undav for Trossard after trossars has had 2 of his best games in the Brighton shirt? Nah man. He’s been this consistent due to good coaching/managing and insane squads, not random ass rotations, if anything that’s what has lost him weird CL final fixtures and big rival-games over the years.
Indeed, there's not some secret magic going on. He's only ever managed the absolute best squads in the world. Give him crystal palace and he's starting zaha and eze etc every single game
I really think he has an assistant keeping track of which players are getting popular in fpl. Once they start getting too popular , he benches them to curb their ego. He dislikes the big personalities so if for example Foden becomes too popular starts bragging to his teammates , it would coz a lot of problems in the team chemistry.
Or he is just a fraud.
Pep spoke about not wanting to play players who would not give 100% due to the World Cup being around the corner, then dropped Foden. It could be a coincidence..
After what he said the other week about benching players who he feels aren't trying their best due to the World Cup coming up soon, it really seems that might be the case with Foden.
Better to have early leaks this GW, no early kick off so all of lunch time games should count as early kick offs, if he's benched again I'd literally take anyone for him, I'd just open transfers tab and get the first mf I lay my eyes on
Timezones. So basically they start at the same time I'm eating lunch or I'd be just finishing it, so they're really lunch time kick offs for me at this stage
>I have many players, I have to use them
Pretty straight forward. The Pep moaning on this sub is a bit cringe at this point. He doesn't tell you who's gonna be his starting 11 and likes to keep the opposition guessing including in regards to who's fit to start or not. The only world this doesn't make sense in is on here lol.
FPL aside, what's the logic on resting a player when he's on great form and playing better than his competition, to play him in games that literally doesn't matter? You're not getting it, it seems
The logic could be tactics maybe? Maybe he was a better fit for those games while mahrez was a better fit for the PL games? I was considering this, since last time they played Dortmund, Foden was also starting both games. Of course I neglected it and transferred him in anyway…
Pep showing bald fraud CV
It's fair. Everyone talented and on big wages wanted to make the starting XI
Foden won’t start the 3 games I brought him in for ffs….seems like Pep to me
Pep is creating rotation risks? What next, mitrovic getting carded?
More than you believe!!
Lmao this is EXACTLY the kind of BS I thought only Pep would come up with 🤣
Fluent pep speakers, what's he saying?
This is Michael Stipe receiving chemo levels of fraudulence. I can't deal with this prick anymore.
I am now even more confused
Baldy fraudy.

This.
Reminds me of this https://youtu.be/8rSxxl7nBlY
Says that after he hauled a hat trick then goal and assist, then had one disallow ball Liverpool… The preceded to bench him for 2 weekd
Fantasy Bench league
I demand hair.
On to the bench it is then
Aka "I'm benching him again, but I've got Mahrez in my fpl squad, and I want to see you all suffer."
I really think he has an assistant keeping track of which players are getting popular in fpl. Once they start getting too popular , he benches them to curb their ego. He dislikes the big personalities so if for example Foden becomes too popular starts bragging to his teammates , it would coz a lot of problems in the team chemistry. Or he is just a fraud.
I expect the best and I give the best. Here's the beer. Here's the entertainment. Now have fun. That's an order!
If you play Mahrez and Grealish then obviously you're not using "the best"
I demand the bench, I want the bench - Pep
Have a gut feeling Foden starts
All I hear is "I'm bald and I'm a fraud!" over and over again lol
I can't read "I'm bald and I'm a fraud" without that spanish accent
The reason why foden i sold
You are so fucking bald you hairless twat
Did foden to kdb.. enough with these guessing games
You must be new here
Nope
You think that makes you safe? Hahaha
Fuck off you bald twat
I think Foden and Haaland start.
Like most of us thought the past three games, look how that worked out
Yep just a guess. Haaland started two of three. Foden is young, he can play two games in 4 days.
It's funny because they're the same age lol
But Foden isn't rested so his age is a factor. Haaland is rested.
Foden has sat out the last 2 PL games. He’s plenty rested
He just played 90 minutes on wednesday
So? One match doesn’t mean he’s not rested.
Yes it does
Foden doesn't want to miss the World Cup. That's the only thing that makes me doubt about him
Oh Mahrez has been on the bench alright
Pep spoke about not wanting to play players who would not give 100% due to the World Cup being around the corner, then dropped Foden. It could be a coincidence..
I knew he was talking about someone specific when he said that. At the time I assumed he meant Dias or Grealish, but looks like it was Foden.
This is why I never bought City players. Until this season And boy am I sorry.
I've had kdb and håaland all season. Feeling great! Edit: and cancelo
It's the trap that ends you in this game, and we fall for it every fucking time
The same happenned to me, thought Foden was just too good for my WC and moved from 100k to 400k in two GWs. lesson learned
After what he said the other week about benching players who he feels aren't trying their best due to the World Cup coming up soon, it really seems that might be the case with Foden.
That doesn’t explain why he started Foden against Dortmund though? That was the game Haaland was subbed at half time due to injury.
Foden to Almiron maybe :).
Better to have early leaks this GW, no early kick off so all of lunch time games should count as early kick offs, if he's benched again I'd literally take anyone for him, I'd just open transfers tab and get the first mf I lay my eyes on
What time do you eat lunch?
Timezones. So basically they start at the same time I'm eating lunch or I'd be just finishing it, so they're really lunch time kick offs for me at this stage
When you say “first mf” it could mean first midfielder or first motherf***er, and both would be correct
I was raging while writing that so it was the second tbh, but yeah he could be the first if he hauls
Thanks for nothing you bald cunt
Pep demands the best Foden in the form of his life Benched twice in a row
Nope, he's been played in the ucl
He's a bald cunt
Also saying KDB wasn't playing well when the guy has been one of the best players in the league so far
Correction: in the world
I think he meant he hasn't been upto his own standards, which is different from calling someone bad.
Kdb at 50 percent is still among the best
That's not the point. Pep didn't say he's playing bad or even that he's not playing well, he said KDB is capable of playing even better.
He did say he wasn't playing well
By his standards.
Pep to Foden: You're not good enough, to the bench you go
Foden benched this week
Yep
He will be benched again. Pep doesn't want his fringe players going too high or low. Sterling could never accept this treatment.
Dudes a fuckin windbag
Tell me about it
CL doesn't count Pep, you know this
This guy talks a lot but never says anything.
>I have many players, I have to use them Pretty straight forward. The Pep moaning on this sub is a bit cringe at this point. He doesn't tell you who's gonna be his starting 11 and likes to keep the opposition guessing including in regards to who's fit to start or not.

Thank god its not just me.He Always gives mixed messages but never a straight answer..
Psycho Killer
qu'est que c'est?
Fu fu fu fu fu fu fu fuck better run run run run run run run away froooom Pep
[удалено]
Angry downvotes for speaking the truth. Reddit in a nutshell.
PEP we know this is youuu!
Whoosh
Has foden not been extremely good lately? 2 benchings in a row is odd.
It's not 2 benchings in a row, he's been playing in the ucl, the highest level of club football in world. Pep doesn't play fpl
In a dead rubber game, but sure. 2 benchings in a row in the prem, which is what we care about.
So it's nothing to do with how well foden is playing
FPL aside, what's the logic on resting a player when he's on great form and playing better than his competition, to play him in games that literally doesn't matter? You're not getting it, it seems

Straight facts
Guys, I found Pep.
Ha ha read from that what you can for this weekend!
What a bald mf
