So, a new types of thread by your one and truly Emobot7. This time around, simple poll made with strawpoll, quick to do and funny as well. The first one is about what time you think is best for making a substitution in football. Don't be shy to share a comment on why you think your right as well if you want do. Here you go:

i put what i think is that ok with u

I don't think there's exact time when to sub a player, all depends on the game, expect you're Wenger and make sub every game around 70th minute.

@marcusrashford Of course, thats fine!

@quikzyyy I guess, but there is to be one moment that is a bit better most of time better. Thats what this thread is about. :P

There is no one time to substitute. It depends on what kind of substitution that you are making as a manager.

In your poll, I suggested the 30 mins before the end of the game because if we assume the hypothetical losing scenario (e.g. 1-0), then you want to give the attacker as much time as possible to integrate their influence into the match. However, if you are introducing a speedster striker, you might wait until the final ten minutes, when the defenders are totally run ragged.

In the case of a defensive substitution, a lead or draw is required, and I would recommend the sub come in whenever (a) you have just scored, or (b) the momentum has just shifted.

@Sunflash Yeah, I guess your right, I agree there must be a reason behind a sub, but in this case, lets pretend the game is a 0-0 and you want to push for a winning goal.

Even then it's subjective. Are you happy with the 0-0? A CDM might then be useful. But only if a certain defender is flagging, or has been exposed. If you want to win, then attacking options are great, but usually a CAM or winger is what is required, a like-for-like striker swap before the 80th minute is rare.

What I'm saying is that it's entirely dependent on your motivations.

@Sun I said earlier

lets pretend the game is a 0-0 and you want to push for a winning goal

I thought it was pretty clear that in that example, we weren't happy with the 0-0. :P
