Has anyone actually seen this happen?!

We have all been there. An injury or two, maybe a few tired legs or maybe just a change for changes sake whereas we use up our 3 allocated substitutes and lo and behold it always seems like we will get another injury thus putting you down to 10 men.

However it has just dawned on me that I have never actually seen the AI go down to a short compliment after using all their substitutes up and that seems a little strange considering all the bizarre 1st half changes it makes for seemingly absoloutely no reason at all.

So there it is a basic question, has anyone actually seen the AI go down to 10 or 9 men because it has used all it's subs and then get an injury or two?!

Yep, happened against me recently. The game wouldn't tell you so it's easy to miss.

Nice to see they kept one up top, Scotland don't even do that with 11 on the pitch.

Surely the game should have been abandonned if they go below 7 players?

not in fm world

That is truly amazing

Still took an injury time penalty to beat them.

That game should be abandoned with less than 7 players.

OT: I've never noticed my opposition forced to continue with 10 due to injury. But I may have missed it.

I had the problem myself a lot in 11.2, I'm not sure I 11.3 is any better, but now I seem to get a lot more yellows and reds.

Happened in my games often enough. On FM10, that is.

Part of the reason we see the AI go down so little is that, in my games at least, the AI tends not to use it's third sub until 80-85+ minutes...

Agreed, I hardly ever go down to ten men as well for the same reason.

I only throw my third sub in earlier if I'm desperate, and prepared to wear the risk.

The thing is that the game doesn't stop when the opponent has an injured player like it does when you do, so it's easy to miss. I kind of wish I COULD set it to stop so I could adjust tactics when something like that changes, though; if the opposition is down to ten men, I might want to tweak what I'm doing in response to that. Same if they bring on a third striker or something.

Keep the opposition formation in the top corner and you won't miss it.

Never thought of that; good tip! Thanks!

Hear, here! ...except I keep it in the lower-right corner...

I have seen it a few times in my current save, helped me beat Arsenal as Ajax to get me into the semi-finals of the champions league.

Had it happen to me a few times. Also seen the AI have it hapen to them but in the 90th minute so not much time to do anything.

had it happen a few times down to 9 men the ai was in one game and 10 in a couple of others i think i may have had the ai down to 8 once but cant be sure happened so long ago.

cheers,

Molde clearly has the United spirit brought by OGS .

Am i the only one who is laughing on the ref?

Game was already won before it happened although we both scored after they'd gone down to ten...

I see it all the time. The fact that the AI likes subbing players in the first 20 minutes doesn't help

Edit: in fact the last time was 2 matches ago, when an injury in the 78th minute meant 10 men for the AI (2 subs at half time, one sub on 63 minutes). I was 3-0 up at the time, so it made little difference; we won 4-0.
