How do YOU use substitutes?

[kynan]

Depends on how the game is going and what platform I am on. Normally if I am on my mobile the only subs I do are players that have been booked, or the keeper to qualify for my pack.

If I am 2 or 3 up by half time or after about 60 mins I sub off my best players and put my weak ones on. If I am only just winning then I will make a sub taking off my least fit players for the fittest ones on my bench.

I often play between a 4-4-1-1 and a 4-4-2. If I am trailing or wanting to score from a draw I will change the 4-4-1-1 to a 4-4-2 bringing on a second striker. If Im 4-4-2 then I take off both wingers, put an extra MC and ST on to make it 4-3-3.

I always set up my bench that I can easily move to playing 3 at the back, with 5 in midfield if needed and also so that I can revert to a 4-4-2 Diamond quickly if needed too.

I will always look to sub a booked player, although not until at least half time. The exception to this is if its a strong player in a game I am chasing with a much weaker or unfit player on the bench.

If I am on my phone then I will only make changes as needed, but if I am on my computer I will always try to use all 3, but always keep my last sub for the last 15 mins or so.
