Pablo DiscoBar Posted June 6, 2010 Author Share Posted June 6, 2010 You can't swap players that play early in the rounds for those that play a couple of days later can you? Yes you can. Turns this game into a lot of Football Manager esque fun! Once the round commences, you have a choice: You can either take a 'hands off' approach and wait for automatic substitutions to happen at the end of the round, or you can get more involved and make some substitutions as the round progresses. At the start of each day (00:00 South African time) during the round, a substitution window opens. In this window you can: * Replace any player that wasn't sent off with one from your bench who is yet to play. * Change your captain, providing he wasn’t sent off, with someone whose team is yet to play. On a matchday, the substitution window will close 15 minutes before the first kick-off. The player chosen to bring in must adhere to the formation rules. E.g. if you only have 3 defenders in your starting 11, you may not replace a defender for another midfielder as there is no legal formation with only two defenders. An unlimited number of substitutions can be made but only eleven players with one captain can score points each round. Here are some reasons you may choose to make substitutions: * One of your players goes off injured after a few minutes * Your captain wasn't selected to play in the round. * You are a gambler and decide that one of your substitutes will score more points than someone who already played in the round Things to note about substitutions * If you remove a player who has scored points for your team, these points will be lost. The player cannot be brought back into your team until the next round. * It is not possible to make substitutions after matches on the last day of the round. * If a substitution or captain change is made then no automatic substitutions will take place on your team that round. Automatic substitutions Once the data for all the matches in the round has been determined as final, automatic substitutions will be made providing no substitutions or captain changes have been made. If any of your players play no part in the round, the computer will try to substitute the inactive player with the highest priority replacement from the same position who did play. If your captain does not play then the bonus will be lost, another player will not take over the captaincy in their place. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Razzler Posted June 6, 2010 Share Posted June 6, 2010 That's stupid but sounds like the way they do Champions League with their 'Manager's substitutions'.

As the game is made by the same people that do FPL, I can see some of these new rules coming into play for next season - Manager subs is a possibilty for the Sat/Sun games and I wouldnt be surprised to see the attacking/defending bonuses coming in too Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Razzler Posted June 6, 2010 Share Posted June 6, 2010 I doubt they'll come in for Premier League game tbh, they seem to be making that easier and easier, not more complicated. They seem to be doing more of these changes in Champions League/Europa League games as obviously there are less matches, I can live without the 'defensive/attacking bonus' tbh, worse than 1, 2, 3 bonus for Premier League :/ Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
el sid Posted June 6, 2010 Share Posted June 6, 2010 So basically, if Striker 1 plays first and has a **** game, I can bring in Striker 2 before his match instead of Striker 1 and hope he has a better scoring game, is this right? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lookinmg forward to this, could backfire of course - I am playing Yeoung of Korea early on - I fancy him for a goal, but if he does and I , as planned sub him for Fabiano and Fabiano does nothing I`m going to look a chump! What I think is really great about this is that normally the World Cup and Champions league are very hard to catch someone in once you get to the QF stage as teams are normally the same. With larger squads and sub opportunities a lot of teams will differ. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lermon Posted June 6, 2010 Share Posted June 6, 2010 this would be better imo that the 23 you choose was final- and you couldn't transfer in. Then you'd have a degree of strategy and luck. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oscillate Wildly Posted June 6, 2010 Share Posted June 6, 2010 Thanks for the heads-up on this, Pablo DiscoBar. I love fantasy football and this is one of the most interesting set-ups I've seen. I reckon it's going to involve a hell of a lot more strategic thinking than most FF games, especially in the initial team picks (making sure all my strikers aren't in action on the same day to give me a chance of swapping, taking a chance on players from teams that aren't nailed on to qualify, etc). Only being allowed two players from each nation is already doing my head in. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pablo DiscoBar Posted June 7, 2010 Author Share Posted June 7, 2010 You can also change your captain too. I am starting with Hernandez as Cpt as he plays on the 11th. If he falls shorts, then Messi will take up Captaincy on the 12th. If he too disappoints then Schweinsteiger can come in and so on... True, the only problem being if Messi got an assist would you take him out of your team entirely ( which you would have to do if you wanted to bring Schweinsteiger in as captain and therfore losing the messi points ) and take the risk that Schweinsteiger would do better? I think its best only to have 2 captains in mind and take a chance on one of the "lesser" players in the early stages as captain- Pineear for example. You wouldnt mind taking him out but losing an assist on Messi would be dangerous.... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
beffrey Posted June 7, 2010 Share Posted June 7, 2010 Messi wouldn't necessarily have to be taken out of the team altogether, just transfer the Captaincy elsewhere. I think the best plan of action is to transfer the Captaincy around as much as you like until one of your players stumbles upon a good score. But, have your final choice in mind. So for example, I could try different Captains on 11/12/13/14/15 knowing full well that I had Villa to play on the 16th. That strategy would only fail if all your best players happened to being playing first, which is unlikely. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrDiCanio Posted June 7, 2010 Share Posted June 7, 2010 Until I've read back through this thread I wasnt aware of the whole substitution thing, so now I've changed my starting 11 to include all the players who are playing earliest.

From what I understand ( and correct me if im wrong as I want to get my plan sorted )- The captaincy can only be transfered to a player on your bench - ie a substitution, so the way I see it if you captained Messi early on you would have to drop him?
