Well the only reason to replace any player thats on the field would be to bring on fresh legs, last season and the season before when I used my subs at HT or around 60-70 minutes, I seemed to get some sort of effect that brought me more goals. My league season is been a strange one so far, not getting the best results but I sensed this would happen from the beginning when the transfers were not there for me to make to improve my squad. I'm about a quality point weaker than this time last season and my main opponents are 3 or 4 points stronger. Instead of being 8 points stronger than my nearest rival last season, I'm only 4 points stronger than my main opponents this season. Thats why I called the end of last season the end of the PT era as we are now falling back to the pack and I'm soon to cut off token investment to my team soon. Possibly at the end of this season coming up.

It will be hard for me to win trophies after next season I would imagine. I could end up like whats happening to Paul's team B.B.B. Young Boys now, just facing good active teams all the time.
