  Remember 2000 when the comp started early cause of the Olympics for the 1st 6 weeks clubs were allowed to have 2 extra Subs on the bench.

  The 2 subs were permanent the player they replaced wasn't allowed back on.

  I'd bring that back but with a 3 interchange players and 6 changes. Then 2 permanent reserves this would add a tactical aspect to the bench and team structure plus players like Stone and Perham whould then have a defined role within a team like ours

    I'd rather have a system similar to soccer where you could have say, 7 men on the bench, but you can only use 4 of them. That way you can carry back up playmakers and outside backs without weakening your middle forward rotation

      They can't come back on the field once they come off aswell is that correct

        In soccer that is the case, but I'd still have limited interchange in RL, but maybe limited to one interchange per player, second time a player is interchanged he's off permanently.

  Maybe have 6 subs on the bench but can only use 4 of those subs during the game. So if a spine or outside back gets injured early in the game, they can easily be replaced with someone who plays that position. If no injuries, can use the normal rotation they like

  I like it but with only 4 being allowed to be used.

  You could have 4 forwards,  a utility and an outside back on your bench and decide during the game which 4 you use depending on situations and injuries during games.

  Edit. Sorry EA just seen your exact same reply above mine.

    Only Muttman and I manage to post the exact same thought at exactly the same time as each other 😂

      Funny. Me and muttman have too in the past, some kind of weird mental triangle thing going on here.
