Substitutions

Do people use their substitutes? The reason I ask is because I very rarely make any subs during a game, the only time I do is either when a player is injured or if a player is playing really rubbish.

Only in almost every game I've ever played.

Wow, like robertcornell68 I make substitutions every single game, usually using all 3 of them.

Even if it is only to give a young player some match experience or to run the clock down when I am winning.

I always throw on a fresh pair of legs to run at any opposition player who is looking tired. SO if their left back is on low condition then I put on a fresh wide right player to take him on and exploit him being cream crackered.

I use all subs for the sake of giving game-time to as many players as possible (my squad is far too large lol)

And also to try and keep some of my top players from getting too tired (very essential when they are getting older)

Jose Baxter is THE BEST impact sub for me. He has a knack for scoring in the last 10 minutes, and bring him on if I am level or down one.

I use subs in the majority of games.

i always use subs

if losing then its to replace players who are playing poorly,

if winning handily, then its to keep the star players fresh for the next game, and get a young or lesser used player some game experience/match fitness

if its tied or winning a close tough game, then its to get fresh legs on the field, or a someone into the game to make something happen

I always use subs. In fact, I felt that 3 wasn't enough, so in my World League I allow 4 from 9 in all competitions.

I always make 3 subs, normally around the 60 minute mark. If I'm winning well, I bring on youngsters. If I'm losing, I bring on experienced players.

I tend to make substitutions at about 65 mins in, and I'll normally use all 3. The only time I don't sub is if I forget.

This and I always use all my subs.

Usually always make 3 substitutions - I can always make my team defensively better when winning and I have options to mix-and-match things. For example, sticking my full-backs on the wing is a good way of closing out the game as all they do is hassle and foul wingers and full-backs.

I always try to use 3 subs. Depending upon my score, I may bring one MC with Attackers or defenders.

y wouldnt u use substitutes?

how can you NOT make subs? its part and parcel of the game...throw on fresh legs to run at a tiring defence, give a younger player a run out, try a new approach if your finding it hard to break down a defence, rest an important player? there are lots of reasons why you should make subs...

to not make any subs, to me presonally is kinda abserd...

i can never go a game without using a sub :O

mainly down to players be tired or players on the bench i want to see come on and change the game

Usually 3 players get subbed on for me, around the 70 minute mark, when they get tired. It's a good change to get the youngfellas some game time if we're winning aswell

same here.

Why don't you follow House Rules by using text speak?

I normally use two subs a match because when ever i use 3 a player always gets injured and i get forced to play the rest of the game with 10 men..

i use all three so the players dont get knackered

I didn't use to that much. But then when my assistants said we were conceding most of our goals between the 75th and 90th minute because players were tired, I realised they probably had a point. I started making subs, and stopped conceding late goals.

Assistant managers aren't alwasy useless.

Currently managing AFC Telford in BSN and since the players get very tired it is crucial to use all 3 subs.

On most occassions, I use all three subs in one. Depending on the finess of the players, the time of the substitutions varies from 60-70 mins

I always use three subs, mainly for preserving players and stopping them getting tired too quickly.

I always use my 3 subs just to freshen up my team and give my players game time

I almost always use 2 of them in the second half, keeping the third (usually a utility player) in case of injuries etc.

I use all 3 subs and don't care about being one player down in the last 20 minutes or so.

I however since FM08 I need to pause the game to make subs or I'm likely to get it wrong, because as I see the clock passing by and try to do it as fast as i can and end up screwing up.

However if this subs are like this, my question, why does the clock stops when is serious injury? If they put the clock passing in normal subs, so would be the the same when we get serious injury, in the name of realism.

I almost always use all 3 subs. At least 2.
