I advise everyone to create 45 mins before first match... otherwise pre tourney injuries will screw you over

How many subs will be enough for this whole world Cup event?
It's a 48 matches fantasy game.

Is 50 pushing it?

Substituting 5 players 50 times, isn't that too much

Ok, for 48 matches maybe 25. If I choose players from different countries I'd want to sub them in for as many games as possible.

50 subs is a fair number, I feel. Since the sub is only effective for that particular game, it defeats the purpose of having him there. Hence, more the subs, better it is

Sign-ups closing in 2 hours!
13:00 IST

Anyone left signing up?

30 50 Substitutions will be available throughout the event, so use it smartly.

30 is less-given that these are match specific ones. I would suggest to have it at 48 (one per game) or round it off to 50.

I agree with @icyman

For future events, maybe you could change the system:

When you make a sub for a match, he stays in your lineup for all matches after that. That way, I think it's more tactical and less subs are required for big tournaments

Should be okay. Given that it's a WC, a little bit of breathing room is fine.

That's in the pipeline but no ETA on release though.
