Had to start this as there is no posting permitted on Fadi's thread.
I just wanted to point out that the introduction of seven substitutes rather than the existing five would prove counter productive to any attempt to resist the 'hogging' of players.
Extra sub's spots would mean more players getting a matchday look-in, thereby satisfying their demand for inclusion. This means that they would not agitate for a move.
I think that the demand for extra sub slots is answered by the versatility SAs which make one player able to cover several positions.
Stick with five.
I do agree with what you're saying about the versatility SA's making players able to cover several positions.
But one flaw I've seen with this is that if your player is currently sitting in the defence with MID and say your AM gets injured, I have found your defender with the highest AM PV on the subs bench still will not get brought on because the CPU cannot recognize the player as a midfielder and will instead opt for an alternative midfield player from your bench who probably does not play AM.
If this flaw can be corrected then I guess there's more argument to sticking with five although there is also the 'realism' that seven subs are used these days. If seven subs can be implemented and still make a player agitate for a move because they haven't started a game then this would be a great solution.
