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We pay (or labor) to assemble our fantasy squad but are currently prevented from using many of these players because of out-of-date substitution parameters.

On a related note…. Can EA please allow us to use the time during a goal replay to execute a substitution. I, for one, would much rather use these brief moments to make a tactical adjustment rather than watch a replay (which, frankly, just aren’t that exciting most of the time). Especially in late-game situations, the scoring of goal is precisely the moment when a user most wants/needs to bring on an extra attacker or a fresh defender. Given the relative infrequency of stoppages (15 minutes of game time can run off the clock in a flash) and the difficulty (in H2H mode) of toggling to the substitutes panel while the ball is in play, it would be hugely helpful to be able to use the few seconds while a replay is running to queue a substitution.

These are modest asks from a technical standpoint and would make gameplay both more realistic and more tactically interesting.
