· 29 Aug 2026Equal playing time, correct sub pairs and substitution groups
The planner now computes the best possible split, only offers substitution counts that deliver equal playing time, and pairs subs by position.
The substitution plan has been reworked around one goal: equal playing time.
- Only relevant options: the substitution-count picker now shows only counts that deliver equal playing time (max. 1 minute difference), including block length. If it is not possible for your squad size, you are told honestly, with the smallest achievable difference.
- Stronger planner: block lengths and bench turns are optimised together, so differences of 10+ minutes are gone.
- Correct sub pairs: the player coming off is paired with the player taking over that position — in the plan, the live view and the WhatsApp message, with the position shown.
- Preferred position counts: players are placed in their preferred or best position and keep it after a substitution.
- Substitution groups in the match: rules such as “keep at least 2 defenders on the pitch” now also appear on the match page, can be toggled per match, and an emergency sub that breaks the rule triggers a warning.
