Bluepeter9 5,167 Posted August 8, 2015 Share Posted August 8, 2015 I have seen the odd manager hook a player early for bring shite (ricksen!) and the odd double substitution to try to change again but is there any other manager doing this all the time - that's 3 games in a row where MW has done a double earlier - is that going to be his 'thing'? I wonder when more manager will start doing the same as it does inject freshness as both teams are starting to 'open' up. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

LeeWallaceRFC 3,920 Posted August 8, 2015 Share Posted August 8, 2015 I used to do it all the time on FIFA.This exactly. Never understand why managers have a reason for sending them out again yet bring them off within 5 minutes. Players deserve a chance to settle down and 5 minutes doesn't allow that. Obviously keeping the 3rd sub for a bit later in the event of an inury i.e. so that we don't have to play out the remainder of the game a man down.

Others it's to wait a few minutes to see if the opposition make any changes to players or tactics. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

plumbGER 24,518 Posted August 8, 2015 Share Posted August 8, 2015 Bringing a guy like Kenny Miller on,with his expereince,with 30 minutes to go is a masterstroke that has worked twoce and i think will work again a good few times over the course of the season.

Can see miller scoring a lot because of this. He's use to playing the 90 so with 30 left he can come on full of energy and play at that intensity which most teams will struggle with. With the chances we are creating he'll score plenty Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Hilts 12,819 Posted August 8, 2015 Share Posted August 8, 2015 it's shite. I prefered it when Mohsni used to get punted up front in the 80th minute Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
maverick1200 2,832 Posted August 8, 2015 Share Posted August 8, 2015 I do it in FM because I play a fast tempo passing game. If i dont my players are fucked. Me and MW are probably on the same page Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigAmo'sThighs 848 Posted August 8, 2015 Share Posted August 8, 2015 I like it, the miller and holt sub last week was superb, perfect timing and both had an impact on the game. Same goes for the shiels/miller sub against Hibs the week before, instant impact. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Prso's headband 35,569 Posted August 8, 2015 Share Posted August 8, 2015 Miller will have a huge say this season as a sub. The team press and harrass the opposition constantly it must be mentally draining for the opposition so nothing like a couple of fresh legs to really go at them for the last half hour or so. Worked really the past 3 games I thought. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
WilliamFyfe 1,438 Posted August 8, 2015 Share Posted August 8, 2015 I like the idea of bringing folk on at 60 minutesFreshens things up, plus gives the guys coming on as chance to shine! Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrMckee 3,424 Posted August 8, 2015 Share Posted August 8, 2015 Yea i can see Kenny Miller and a midfielder (probably shiels) coming on on the 60 most games Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

the_r_sole 366 Posted August 9, 2015 Share Posted August 9, 2015 The double sub's have worked well so far, playing high tempo and pressing will tire out the opposition, imagine being knackered just as the opposition bring on two sets of fresh legs! Probably a mental issue as well as physical... Definitely works tho Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
graeme_4 34,617 Posted August 9, 2015 Share Posted August 9, 2015 I like it. Gives us fresh legs and the ability to really push on and take goals off of a tired team.Certainly isn't to 'break up' the game or grid the clock down, Ally Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
