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.

I’d agree with you if the schedule wasn’t so insane

Schedule is another issue. At least the dense schedule isn't a change in the laws of the game, rather a change in the rules of specific competitions. Still messed up though.
