    This is what happened to me. A guy lost his match in Cup semifinal 7:1 and his next match was against me in CL 1/4 final. Before that I had 10 wins with a superb GD and then it's just turned around against me, no metter I had double more shoots the result was 2:4 home lost. Ofcourse my GK had a terible rating and his attackers scored every shoot. I wasn't able to change much with subs, I think it's just a team performance that is important not a few players. Form just was good for whole team and then suddendly drop down because opponent team ratings before our match were bad and it had to go up.

    I guess it depends on both teams ratings before the match, and we can't be winning them all.

    The main issue now, is to try to learn if there's a solution when we detect these scenarios... like,

    aggressive player in particular? -sub him.
    a player misses his shoots constantly? sub him
    fall in offside trap constantly? sub him..

    so, this is the point now, our gk vs oppo gk, if oppo's one is superb and decide the match, can we revert that scenario doing a gk sub....¿? ...it have to exist a formula unless the key to unstuck the match is a sub or a particular change in the orders.... :/

    In this kind of situation one option is to play your reserves. Depending how good your second team is it can be risky but it has worked for me before. As suggested by others, you have to be confident that you're about to get beaten. If you don't play with your high performing first team it does seem that it can counter the 'rebound effect' we're talking about here. You're essentially playing your rebound team against their rebound team.

    For this approach to work you need to have a fairly good second team.

    I've not tested this properly, but it's an approach that seems to have worked for me a few times.
