So, who of you..

[Sulsey]

Has a goalkeeper substitute on the bench?

I don't, waste of a player.

 

[*JK*]

I have a gk on my bench.

 

[CtPauley]

I always have a gk on the bench, tbh it's stupid not to especially if your goalkeeper gets sent off or injured. It's not really wasting a player either as your have 6 other spaces.

 

[WonderManager]

I always have a young gk on my bench, just incase if my gk gets sent off or got injured.

[Alex]

Always, ever since I had a game once, keeper was injured after about 10 minutes so had to put a fullback in goal. I lost 7-0 against a relegation threatened Southampton.

 

[Tharros]

Why wouldn't you have a GK on the bench? In most leagues you have 7 subs to chose from and can make 3, so 6 players should give you more than enough tactical flexibility.

 

[come on urzzz]

i always have a keeper as mine often get sent off :/ :L

 

[Joel`]

Even if you need to sub your goalkeeper just once in a season, a potential 3 points lost can be the difference between 2nd and 1st, promotion and the play-offs, relegation and survival etc. I've never felt like I needed another on the bench anyway.

 

[Footie M]

Yep, I always do. Who knows when your keeper might get sent off/injured?

My bench normally looks like:
1) Goalkeeper
2) Centre-back
3) Full-back
4) Defensive-mid
5) Winger
6) Attacking-mid
7) Striker

 

[Flamengo]

1) gk
2)cb
3)dmc/mc
4) winger
5)striker
6)full back
7)random

 

[Lazaru5]

always a keeper on my bench

two defenders, two midfielders and two attackers as well with the aim of being able to cover for every position in case of injury regardless of whoever gets injured

 

[jnunesmoura]

Why wouldn't you have a gk on the bench? I'd be tremendously ****** if Mr. Jesus (Benfica's manager) decided not to bring a gk sub to any game at all...

 

[goonergun435]

I have

1. Gk
2. Fullback who can play left and right
3. CB
4. CM
5. DM/ AMC (depending on my formation)
6. Winger who can play left and right
7. Striker

 

[Rami7]

plz upload a screenshot of the game to this thread when you get thrashed the day your keeper gets sent off or injured

 

[Donnelly1]

1-GK
2-rb or lb
3-cb
4-cm
5-winger
6-striker
7- youth player (any position) in case i am winning easily so he can gain experiance

 

[curtis290]

I never put a keeper on the bench. I feel like like I could always use that extra choice of a sub, not to mention I don't like keeping my players off the bench (they seem to get ******). I always have at least 18 guys that deserve to be part of the match squad. I've had a keeper get injured maybe only once or twice ever in playing FM.

 

[*Jamess*]

1 goalkeeper
2 defenders
2 midfielders
2 strikers

Silly question, you'll regret it at one point mate :S.

 

[iNickStuff]

I have a goalkeeper on the bench because the last time I didn't my goalkeeper got injured and I had to play Gareth Barry in goal. Luckily, he was good in goal.

 

[Matty]

i didn't used to until i had an injury... and got spanked as a result :$
