Rules question:

I set up in a 4-4-2.
Two of my defenders did not play this week, so the fantasy PL app automatically switched me to a 3-5-2 because I had an available midfielder on the bench.

This is not allowed, correct? (FWIW, it would actually change the result of my matchup outcome)

The PL app works the same as our rules. Your bench order goes from left to right on the app like ours goes from top to bottom. If the first bench player can be inserted and retain a valid formation (formation change is allowed), he is used. If not, then move on to the second.

The easiest example is if your starting XI has 1 FWD and he does not play. Then the first FWD on your bench is used even if he is the 2nd or 3rd bench option because a X-X-0 is not a valid formation.

Yeah I need to go back and look at my last 2 weeks. I was under the assumption that a like for like substitution was only allowed. (For the record I did read the rules )

ETA: Didn't screw up the first two weeks roster/points.

Yeah, I wasn't aware of this either... I read the rules, but wasn't aware that the numbering system was more than that.

New owners:

To confirm, your scores and understanding of the rules are good (enough)? Is there anything that could be further explained?

Yep, I'm good now. Didn't realize that you could completely change formations if a starter DNP. Thought it had to be a like-for-like substitution. Also, the 1, 2, and 3 subs make more sense now.

My previous gameweek scores were not affected by it by the way.

Yeah, my previous two weeks were also unaffected by it... I have to adjust this week's score now though and I'm pretty sure it's gonna result in me dropping points
