The scenario is set once one of these 4 "big simplifyed scenarios" is decided (attend vs attend, att vs nope, nope vs nope and nope vs attend)

the game tend to sub divide the players of each team and assign roles so,
some players will appear more, internally they will have more % of visual contribution (good or bad, if this is good, we are talking of a Key Player)
key players tend to solve almost the 70% of the matches and appear in almost all -this was checked by me when the old version that just showed the comments existed, now one can deactivate the live animation and check the writen comments)
then there are,
neutral players, who maybe never appear, never do contributions but, these, can have a positive impact with the players they have arround, or, a negative impact
and the "normal" players, these are used usually by the game to, decide in a alterne behavior, some matches and contribute in a way that the scenarios variability say, so these tend to have ratings like 6-8-6-8-7 (up-down-up-and so cause are determinant days yes/days nope.

the scenario decides "who" is determinant and "where", and yes, some players tend to play better "too" not only in their usual positions, Ive used STs as aml-r's...
so we can say that, if the game decides that your st's line will fail continously, but that your chances will come from the AMR you can switch it and it can work.

Same with the subs, if your field is full of "predetermined bad impacted players for that match" , yes, it can happen that if you do a sub, a new player can change absolutely all.
I remember this week when I've been experimenting and I wrote about a situation in what a team couldn't score been active, with higher avq, (trained for sure) and my team without bonuses, till the 58' when he did 3 subs and scored 4 goals then.


So, IMO, yes, you can affect a scenario, of course once you know it. The game always, always will give you options to do something with what you have, thats why formation don't matters, because if the players are predetermined to outdo anyone on the field, hats all what yo need.
