I was wondering what ppl think regarding substitutions. Do u make one for a poor performance or because your players fitness is low,I have often been in front in a game against a better team and then made a substitution and gone on to lose the game. Wot do ppl think and what do they do regarding subs.

I always sub my players when their fitness gets to below 75 or if someone is playing badly (or injured obviously).

Luckily I have quite a strong in depth squad so any subs are not too much weaker than the players I take off.

usually if my players have a knock or are playing a 6 or a 5 id sub em, sometimes if im 1-0 down late on in the game i might stick on a third striker or something along those lines

Hang on I better say "Red Bull, it gives you wings" or ill be sacked

i usually make a sub in the last half an hour depending how the game is going, if losing another ST or att.mid, if winning usually a DM or Defender. it also depends what type of game, if its a cup game i will bring on some youth players for the last 30 mins

Im like fed it depends on the situations. Ive brought on players before to bolster a narrow lead, and theyve gone on to score, Ive brought on fresh attackers to try and snatch a draw or win and theyve made little or no impact at all.

I think its only an option to use when neccesary, ie when a players fitness level drops or if you are winning and want to preserve a player for the next game.

I use them like real life. If someone has taken a knock or fitness is down I remove them in a straight swap but if I have a narrow 1 goal lead going in to the last 5-10 mins I take off an attacking player for a defender and close out the game, works most of the time too.

the main reason for a substitution (besides injury) is when a players condition gets below 70.except for when he gets a hit and his condition drops but without a green cross.in most of these cases i let him play.
also when i'm losing by 1 goals i put a 3rd ST about after the 80th minute.of course when a player has a bad game (5 or 6(when others have a 7) ) he gets subed out.
