If they don’t, I will delete them after a few days and find some other more. First few days of events would have so many possible that you could add from and try out. That is all hard work in a sense, but one need to put in the effort to keep those active friends (because they will only return the favour actively in semis and finals when we always help them out too).
With substitutes, if the intended one does not happen within 5 minutes, I would immediately make another sensible 2nd substitution (yellow-carded, lowest-rated, etc) and move player positions slightly again and again to force the engine to make both substitutions. The engine will nearly always respond to a 2nd substitution order straightaway.
Tanking is always an issue and won’t go away, so we just have to adapt and compete.
