How do you do this?

Hello fellow gamers,

Not sure if this should be in general discussion or tactics so feel free to move if the wrong forum.

Ok so during a match, what determines who you substitute?

Do you just go by the match rating or something else? I once read a guy that takes players off who have made the least passes (not including GK) so lets see what everyone else favors??

I usually pull out players that ratings fall below 6.3 for more than 10 minutes. I also keep an eye on their stamina, when they get in the mid 60s I really consider swapping them, if they've got a good backup. If we've got week with multiple matches in the same week, or a quick turn around into a top side, I'll pull out players who will be needed in that game at 70% or high 60%. Kind of personal preference. I've also pulled out a striker with a 6.8 rating, and 75% stamina, simply because he wasn't getting any shots on target. I suppose I just approach the game as though I'm really the manager trying to make a team successful/profitable.

winning the midfield battle is key, so I sub my hard working midfielders at around 72-74% stamina to keep them fresh and not lose that battle.

Rating and or stamina for me. If a player is dropping rating wise below 6.3 then he is removed even if it is in the first 20 mins of a game. Likewise if stamina drops below 55 then it is time for a fitter player to replace him. This is especially true with any forwards as a falling rating indicates a confidence drop.

For me if a player has 6.6 or less by HT he's a gonna for me. Then later on in games I go by stamina.

Match rating first, then stamina.

I have 2 tabs that I mainly check during a game, with 3 key pieces of information for me to make a substitution. Match rating, stamina and body language. Any player, in the second half, looking nervous is highly likely to be subbed by me. Especially if they're a striker, I find they very, very rarely score when looking nervous.
