Unreplaced red card from opponent

[Bubba88]

My opponent has a suspended (red card) player in the first 11 players. What will happen if he doesn't replace this player before the match starts?

[John Naish]

The first player not on his starting 11 will play instead.

Thanks John!

So in this case the S1 is a goalkeeper!? Will the GK replace the AMC?

I think so. Let me know what happens though, it'd be interesting to see.

I think it could depend on the list of the subs he deployed in the dedicated slots. The S1 could not be the natural substitution if he put an MC on the Midfilder's box (automatic substitutions), often the list of substitutions does not match with the order of entry into the field.
If he will watch the match, obviously, will change himself...

[Buffs Mad]

Just prepare for the match as if the best player he has available for that slot is in it. If its someone else its a bonus.

If he have auto subs selected it Will be replaced fir that player, otherwise Will be replaced for the 1st player of the subs list not being a GK.
normaly S1 but If there is a GK, it Will enter S2.

The game didn't show what happened just showed the suspended player… Won 1-0 so no complaints :-)
