triple substitution

how often do you do this? i pretty much use it between 60-70 if i can and i'm losing, seems to be a really effective way of turning things around with slightly lesser players.

I try not to use all my subs at one go. I always leave one unused in case of emergencies.

Same as above.

I'm the same as you mate, no point in having three subs if your not going to use them. If im winning defence subs, losing attacking subs.

Hobgob.

If I don't make changes at half-time, I usually do in the 60-70 minutes zone. It's sod's law of course that as soon as you do, a player picks up a red injury!

Yes I do that too.

yeah normally before the sub has actually come on but you still can't cancel it so you just have to allow the fact you're a man down, very frustrating.

in belarus you get four substitutions and that was great.

I used to use all 3 in one go but now tend to keep a change back just in case after a spate of injuries after making all 3

I use all 3 to keep my players happy but after doing so I usually end up getting 2 serious injuries so I finish my fair share of matches with 9 men.

I do my best to avoid triple substitutions as I like to keep the team balanced and radical changes can upset the balance of the team.

True, but I do it when I'm comfortably winning; take off the stars and give the kids a go - or if I put out a weakened team and am losing, the stars who started on the bench get a chance to change the game.

Like has been said I tend to use triple substitutions only when losing. If I'm winning I usually make 2 changes, taking off the two players with worst condition and hold the third in case I get an injury.

Bobby Robson often used to do that when his Newcastle side were searching for an equalizer.

I tend to sub one player at the 55-60 mark and another on the 70 mark.

I tend to keep the final one spare up until the 80th minute.

Ive been stung a few times with subbing earlier than that.

All subs made around the 60 minute mark.

If winning comfortably = youngesters on

If winning but it's close = shore up the midfield a bit

If drawing home = switch to 4-3-3 attacking

If drawing away = like for like changes

If losing = 4-2-4 all out attack

I'll always use 3 subs at once, unless it's an incredibly tight cup final or something similar

well 90% of the time wide player, attacking midfielders and strikers tire before the defensive one's, now this is either because tactics are un balanced or they run around like headless chickens, having 2 super fast skillfull wingers and either an AMc or Sc to come on with last 20 mins can be a good tactic..

Only do it when I'm losing and I need a result. I tend to change from 4-4-2 (two centre mids, attacking wingers) to a 3-5-2 (two centre mids, attacking centre mid and attacking wingers). If I'm winning comfortably and haven't made any changes with about ten minutes left, I'll sub off my best players for some youngsters.

yeah at my current club i am having to replace both wingers every single name and normally my more defensive midfielder most of the time as well due to their condition dropping below 65%

If i'm losing 2-0 at half time then i will do it then, making sure i can tell them what i need. (why can't you do this during game???)

I usually make all three subs in around about the first 20-25 mins!

Not through choice, but because i often have 2 green and 1 red injury by then.

If I bring on 3 subs in the 70th minute, I will get an injury and end the game with 10 men, I'll bring on my 3rd sub from the 75th minute onwards if I've got the game won already or if I'm chasing the game, never when I'm drawing or winning a close game.

I will make subs as early as the 10th minute if I see a problem (usually one attacker just being too fast for a defender, no point leaving it).

That's because you have your wide men of Forward Runs often and run with ball. They're tearing up and down the pitch like billy-o whilst your defenders are standing about holding the line. It's perfectly realistic.

Generally one at 60, 70, & 80 minute marks

Depending on fitness will determine the first sub etc etc

If I'm in a comfortable position then I'll tend to use youngsters

um, thanks, i wasn't really trying to say it wasn't.

I've also noticed that forward runs has a big effect on conditioning. Gerrard is really fit so he can generally last the entire game in my forward running CM position, but if I utilise anybody else in that position they generally drop below 70% within 70 minutes.

I never use all 3 subs unless I'm forced to cos I can 95% guarantee I will get an injury within 5 mins of making the final sub!

If i use all 3 subs an injury happens for certain

I do this every game i play

Sometimes I will do it at half time if i am unhappy with the team.

I make changes when I need to and have been known to sub 3 players at half time once when losing and changing my tactics which worked.
