Subs
Some hints about how the game works
- A sub gives an extra green so good to get it as you may have 50 official games + asso games + friendlies + events.
- With a sub, you can reverse a bad score or if the game is stuck in a not desired score.
Don't be too late, round 60-65' min it's ok.
First half is too early I think (except for a GKs really bad performance)
At break time it's ok if it's not going good.
- If you 're winning 1-0 but the game is tight, don't do a sub. This can reverse the score but for the other side.
- If you sub a defender, you may conceded a goal, so do that only for an injury or your defender has really bad rate (bellow 5,8) or a card and bad rate or you have nothing to loose.
- If one player has a yellow card, keep an eye in his rate. If it's still high, above 7, keep him in the game.
If it's decreasing 1-2 times in a row, sub him to protect him from a 2nd yellow.
Also keep an eye in his morale.
Morale many times is working like an indicator who is in a low form or gonna make a bad performance or a fatal action in a next game.
So don't rush to have them all in a max morale because you won't be able to recognize that player.
- If you see your oppo manager doing 2-3 subs, better activate the mtm order so to boost a little your defense.
Might be a dangerous situation.
- Do 2 subs and keep the last one for the end.
- You don't know what can happen . I mean an injury.
Remember that there is the rule of only one injury in a TE game so if you had already one injured player, you are secure from that.
- About 85' -86' it's the last min you can make a sub. After that it's too late (except some times when there is a delay in your clock).
- Players you can make a sub are
MCs - if the have bellow 6,8
AMs if the have bellow 7
ST if the have bellow 6,8
DMC if have bellow 7-6,8
GK if have bellow 6
For the GK I usually make an exception. If conceded a goal early and his rates go from red to red, is the player I might sub early in the game.
Better a -1* -2* sub player than a player with very bad rate.
If your free-kick taker has a low rate (a bad day) , you may not sub him but put another player for the free-kicks.
There are two old bugs in the game
A delay in the stats > go in some other screen of the menu and return to the game to see the fresh one.
A delay in a sub > After your sub, move another player in his (same bx, not position) so to tab another time the V button.
