Career mode theres only 7 on the bench in leagues that had 9 in fc25
Ideas
So I tried a couple of things earlier and I think it might be related to the squads file. If you play with the initial squads (not the updated squads) you'll see 9 subs. However if you want the most up to date squads you'll only have 7 on the bench.
yup lol glad its just that. if they changed it permanently to 7 would be tragic
