Dumb question please
Tradionally the team we name is more or less gibberish, in terms of where players are named - Baguley on the wing, Zaka back pocket, etc. - right?
Yet the first 4 players named on the bench almost always end up playing.
Is there a rule that this has to be so? Otherwise would you do that - be all George Smiley about your players named on field, but completely telegraph the inclusion of players who fill the last 4 spots (much more useful information for the oppo to hold, I would have thought)?
