Consider this: my player for whatever reason misses the time they scheduled for their first game on the first Sunday. The opposing team tags us and expects a substitute within 30 minutes, and after 25 minutes my player still has not shown up. Now I have the option to not make a sub and take a guaranteed loss, or make the sub and have someone other than my starter in for the next 2 games of that slot. This kind of lose-lose situation sucks.
So the proposal is very simple: Allow managers to sub in a player for only 1 specific match up in a group, provided that the reason for subbing is the original player missing the time, as denoted by the @Team tag. The player that is subbing in may not be subbed in again for the rest of Round 1, even in the same slot.
I understand if you decide that it’s too close to this WCOP’s start to implement it for this one (though this isn’t very disruptive anyway and would be fine to implement this year imo), but even if that’s the case, please consider implementing this for next year.
