zico martin 85 Posted June 9, 2012 Share Posted June 9, 2012 guys I cant quite work out how the subs work on this think, what happens if they score more than my 'starting 11' - do they automatically get substituted in or do i need to take the chance and sub them in now to replace the players who didnt score highly yesterday? for example by czech keeper didnt exactly do well - should i sub him for shay given in time for the irish match?

zico martin 85 Posted June 9, 2012 Share Posted June 9, 2012 subs go in if you're starting 11 fail to feature and they fit into the position/formation rules available ie if you play 4-4-2 and a striker/midfielder doesn't play but one of your subs is a striker, then he'd go in to make it 4-3-3 right, so basically because my polish players and czech players didnt score highly its worth me bringing my french and irish subs in now then?

zico martin 85 Posted June 9, 2012 Share Posted June 9, 2012 they won't count for this "round" if you want to bring your subs in to start instead of who is currently choosen it needs to be done before the round starts, otherwise you could just switch anyone around if you know they've scored badly ah gutted, but isnt that the whole point of bringing subs in for players who havent performed? i understand that i need to do transfers before the round has started but it does let me make these substitutes now. Obviously i lose any points they have scored so far, in cech's case thats nothing anyway and for my polish players its only 2 points each but my subs must do better than this?

zico martin 85 Posted June 9, 2012 Share Posted June 9, 2012 the changes you make now will not "count" until matchday 2. whatever you have in your starting 11 now is what counts for this matchday whether you take them out or not. your forgetting it'd work both ways, say if a player scored -points etc ok i guess i understand it now - you pick your best eleven for a particular 'match day'. not sure if ive played it well mind and may have missed a few good opportunities, but if i couldnt get any points from, say for example, Shay Given in his first game, why am I allowed to substitute him in now? wheres the benefit of my losing my starting players points for no possible gain from points scored by the substitute?

Bictor 0 Posted June 9, 2012 Share Posted June 9, 2012 If someone only got you 1 point on the first match day, and then you substitute them out for someone that got 4 points in match day 1, you'd still only get 1 point because you had the first player in. The player that got you 4 points will be your starter for match day 2. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The player that got you 4 points will be your starter for match day 2. but i can understand how that would work for transfers but why would it still let me make substitutions during 'match day 1' if I couldnt possibly benefit from it? If i substitute Given for Cech now I have no points to lose so I might as well try it and see if I get credited for any points Shay gets? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Match day 2 is one day after match day 1, so once the first set of fixtures has finished, you won't have much time to change your team. It's just giving you as much as possible to change your team for the next week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You don't lose the points. If a player scores 10 points this week, and you substitute him out now, you'll get the 10 points, but then he won't be starting for match day 2.

zico martin 85 Posted June 10, 2012 Share Posted June 10, 2012 anybody know how the wildcards work as well then? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StevenL 0 Posted June 10, 2012 Share Posted June 10, 2012 If you change your entire team, it'll cost you points (like -2 per player, maybe more.) If you use your wildcard, then you can do it and it wont affect your points. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StevenL 0 Posted June 10, 2012 Share Posted June 10, 2012 If you only want to change 2 or 3 players it might be worth taking the hit on the points. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zico martin 85 Posted June 10, 2012 Share Posted June 10, 2012 If you only want to change 2 or 3 players it might be worth taking the hit on the points. but wouldnt using the wildcard be a better option as i wouldnt lose any points then? or should i keep it until closer to the final?

SloopJohn 0 Posted June 13, 2012 Share Posted June 13, 2012 you get unlimited transfers before the quarters, 8 before the semis and 4 before the finals, so I'd say its worth using your wildcard now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zico martin 85 Posted June 13, 2012 Share Posted June 13, 2012 should i really use my wild card now though? so how do i go about it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrew 4242 Posted June 29, 2012 Share Posted June 29, 2012 Bump for the final sitting firmly in 20th place my lineup for the final is mostly spanish with a smattering of italians. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
