Substitutions
Use the My Team page to select eleven players to form your team for the next Matchday. Your formation will automatically change based on the players you have chosen.
Your substitutes do not score points. However, once a Matchday has started you can choose to take control of your squad by making manager substitutions, or do nothing and allow automatic substitutions to take place at the end of the Matchday.
Manager substitutions
After all matches on a single day have finished and before the next matches start, you can:
1: Replace any player who hasn't played or has played less than 60 minutes and wasn't sent off, with one from your bench whose team is yet to play.
2: Change your captain, if he hasn't played or played less than 60 minutes and wasn't sent off, with a player from your squad whose team is yet to play.
Players who are substituted out will score 0 points, the captain bonus will be lost from your original captain if a new captain is selected. Substitutions and captain changes can't be cancelled once confirmed.
Manager substitutions are activated on your Latest Points page.
An unlimited number of manager substitutions can be made, however, it is not possible to make manager substitutions after games on the last day of the Matchday, as all fixtures will have been completed.
If a manager substitution or captain change is made then no automatic substitutions will take place on your team that Matchday.
Automatic substitutions
If no manager substitutions or captain changes are made, automatic substitutions will take place at the end of the Matchday, when all matches have been played.
If your goalkeeper plays no part in the Matchday, then the computer will substitute the player for your replacement goalkeeper, if they played in the Matchday.
If any of your outfield players play no part in the Matchday, then the computer will try to substitute the inactive player for one of your replacements. This is done by replacing them with your highest priority substitute who actually played in the Matchday. You can change your substitution priorities on the My Team page.
