Happened to me twice. What I did to correct that error is, just tweaking the position of any players a bit, so that I can click the save button. The substitution will then be processed.
Good tip, maybe it explains why I didn't have this problem in other matches. This is not a fix though, it's just a workaround.
Nordeus need to patch this up quickly.
