Unpopular opinion, maybe? 5 subs is bad. (alien.top)

5 subs is stupid. 3 subs were far better. Now, you can replace half the outfield players, which basically means you can change tactics completely. It means more of the result is down to the manager. It also means there's less need to prioritise which games are important, you can start with your best 11 every game, and just substitute later if the result allows it. It also benefits clubs with bigger budgets more, as they can afford having a higher quality bench.

Agree - 3 subs was perfect. Appreciate there are more games now and maybe clubs have to rotate more but that should encourage having stronger reserve and youth players coming through

3 subs ❤️

And yes, there are more games, but not many asked for them (aside from the money makers, skimming the cream)
