The Nordeus gods are truly against me

What do you mean 5 minutes later? The minimum time between matches is 15 minutes.

Sorry i did not know that

What do you mean 5 minutes later? The minimum time between matches is 15 minutes.

The key word here is BETWEEN. Between matches or kick-offs? If it is between KOs, then you only have 5 minutes between matches as the match lasts 10 minutes.

During the match you can't make any squad changes, nor can you do that when "the players are on the pitch" 2 minutes before the next KO, so, you have a window of 3 minutes to prepare for the next match.

Let's put my example in real time.

17.54 Game 1 starts. Squad editing unavailable.
18:04 Game 1 ends. Squad editing available.
3 minutes to edit / boost squad, react to injuries, etc.
18:07 Game 2 players enter the pitch. Squad editing unavailable.
18:09 Game 2 starts.

Whatever, it's academic. I've moved the kick off using my tokens. My choice. I want to win both games.

This takes me back to my amateur "Sunday" league football days in the UK.

Due to cup games and weather postponements, we would end up with fixture pile-ups that meant we would have to play 2 matches together. Home and away against a team back-to-back. For those games, it used to be 60 minutes per game so 120 minutes total, not 180.

One match like that, the pitch was just about playable after heavy rain, but both managers and the ref agreed that another postponement would make matters even worse so the game went on. In the 2nd game I spotted the keeper off his line and sent in a perfect lob, he had no chance, it was one of those rare (for me), perfectly weighted shots. Unfortunately, the pitch was so muddy the ball failed to bounce and just landed on the goal line with a splash and went no further. The keeper just ran back and picked it up. By the end of the match there were 22 players so completely covered in mud, we had no idea who was on which team.

Between the kick offs of both matches. It depends how you look at it as well. One match is scheduled for 12.00, another is scheduled for 12.15, 15 minutes between the two matches.

Matches last about 8 minutes, actually, but sometimes you can't do anything for the next 2 minutes. Let's put your example in real time, with a best case scenario.

17.54 Game 1 starts. Squad editing unavailable.
18:02 Game 1 ends. Squad editing available.
4 minutes to edit / boost squad, react to injuries, etc.
18:06 Game 2 players enter the pitch. Squad editing unavailable.
18:09 Game 2 starts.

I got you an extra minute, you're welcome.
