Substitutions??

Sorry lads if this is the wrong forum or already has been mentioned, but dose anyone else find that when you make substitutions espiccally in the second half you usually become crap and start conceeding goals???

it happens, thats why i dont like making subs unless i have to

Yeah same here my players are in bits by the end of the game but I refuse to take them off.

I always make 3 subs every game, it freshens up my team a little for that last stretch, if i am leading comfortably i will bring on 3 youngsters/fringe players as opposed to older more epierenced players as well.

yep. but mine recover in time for next game so alls good.

I would say your subs ain's as good as your first team then, I always make 3 subs and my team preforms as well if not better after I have made subs

i try to make to make 3 subs a game too, keeps me team fresher for 66 game!!!!! season. Like someone else said, you should invest in some better players for the bench

I have found the complete opposite. If i'm losing I always bring on a creative midfielder and a fresh striker and at least 75% of the time the striker scores with an assist from my midfielder!!

I have been blessed with a super sub striker, usually gets a goal every time i bring him on

I usually consider the following things when making subs:

- Who is the most tired on the pitch?

- Who is performing the worst?

- Where can I take advantage of the opposition's tiredness?

If my team is playing well overall, then I'll sub out the most tired players. I also take a look at which players have the worst natural fitness stat, because it will be harder to them to regain their condition after the match, so I'll sub them out if they're in low 70s or lower. Also, I usually try to keep one of the three subs to be a striker. In the last 15 minutes of the match, the opposition defenders will also be feeling the strain, and if they have below average concentration stats, then all the better. I can't even count how many times I've brought on a fresh striker and he would score a goal.

I almost always use all three subs. Lots of examples of when it's turned the game around for me.

I can only think that your subs are a lot weaker than your first choice players.
