Give us 5 instead of 3 substitutions
Virtually all of the world’s top leagues now permit 5 substitutions (across three “windows”). Isn’t it about time FCM was updated to reflect the modern game? We pay (or labor) to assemble our fantasy...

Community ManagerThanks for taking the time to share this detailed feedback around substitutions. While we cannot promise any changes, we can make sure this feedback is shared with the team for visibility.
Thank you for at least acknowledging. Honestly, if “it’s in the game it’s in the game” still means anything at all then EA needs to make the 3 to 5 change. This is a fundamental facet of the modern game. The other change (making substitutions easier to manage) addresses basic playability.
EA appears to spend an awful lot of time and resources on new events and player cards, and that’s all well and good, but it systematically devalues those events and cards if it doesn’t also attend to playability issues like substitutions. Maybe that’s hard for EA to see (that something as seemingly mundane as substitutions might actually contribute to its bottom line), but trust me when I say that it does. As I’ve said before, the main reason I’m almost exclusively F2P is that FCM doesn’t offer the realism, quality or consistency of the FC console titles (which I have paid for many, many times). If EA would only show it cared more about the quality of FCM gameplay (instead of focusing almost solely on cards), I’d be MUCH more inclined to open my wallet for this game. Just sayin’!
