davidnsquires Posted October 23, 2010 Share Posted October 23, 2010 So far I've been enjoying the demo. One thing has frustrated me though. I've made the allowed 3 substitutions in a game 5 times. All 5 times I've then had a player injured within about 5-10 minutes of the substitutions, taking me down to 10 men. Five times out of five is just too much! Are others experiencing the same issue?

mkbdoe Posted October 23, 2010 Share Posted October 23, 2010 Just out of curiousity because I'm interested in your strategy. Are you making your allotted subs at halftime? What are your scores? Are these cup matches, friendlies, or league games? You say within 5-10 minutes you drop an injury, so how long are you forced to play with 10 men? Not being sacrcastic, I'm always interested to learn about subbing strategies. I myself am pretty conservative with subbing except when I have a substantial lead.

dontask Posted October 23, 2010 Share Posted October 23, 2010 i have found this problem as well. i have even ended a game with 9 men because of injuries. i generally make subs around the 60th-65th minute, only make 3 if things aren't going well and then i get an injury to kill me off Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
davidnsquires Posted October 24, 2010 Author Share Posted October 24, 2010 I've been trying different strategies given that it is the demo. Fitness seems to get quite low for some players, so I've been making substitutions at similar times to dontask in the hope that they aren't showing as "Tired" going into midweek games. I'm at the point though where the thought of making 3 subs is scary because I feel certain I'll be down to 10 men shortly after. I also had one game where I ended with 9 men, having already made 3 substitutions on about 75 minutes. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rhinocerous Posted October 24, 2010 Share Posted October 24, 2010 I haven't had this happen at all. I was getting red cards in their place Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
MonsterMasch Posted October 24, 2010 Share Posted October 24, 2010 I find i get an injury before 5 mins of the kick off every game Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
DSYoungEsq Posted October 24, 2010 Share Posted October 24, 2010 I've yet to have this happen at all. Of course, if you are making all three subs by the 65th min., you are really taking your chances, aren't you? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
MonsterMunch Posted October 24, 2010 Share Posted October 24, 2010 Had happened to me 3 times so far. Usually the last player to get injured has no injury at all the next day/after match. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coen Posted October 24, 2010 Share Posted October 24, 2010 I almost always use all 3 subs as well but I try to hold off on making the last one until the last 5-10 minutes. Just finished playing through the demo and I only once did I have players having to be taken off injured after I'd used all my subs (I actually had 2 players in the same game so ended up with only 9 men.)
