RomaRulez Posted February 3, 2011 Share Posted February 3, 2011 In FM 2010 you were able to remove a player who had taken a knock during the game without substituting another player for him, therefore going down to 10 players by choice. Usually this happened when you had already made your 3 substitutions for the game. I think it helped keep the injured player from becoming more severely injured because he didn't have to finish out the game. I can't seem to be able to do this in FM 2011. Anyone know if it's still possible? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RomaRulez Posted February 3, 2011 Author Share Posted February 3, 2011 Too bad. Consider this another suggestion to add that ability back to the game. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
roykela Posted February 3, 2011 Share Posted February 3, 2011 It is too bad really. Think we should be able to take off players, without substitutions, freely - and no, i don't mean in in an obscure overdoing it way. When i was around 14 the team i played on didn't have enough players. No substitutes and only 10 players on the pitch, including the goalie. I had a problem with my heels at the time and when there was around 20 minutes left of the game, i couldn't play anymore. I simply had to walk off the pitch, and never come back again for the rest of the game - finishing every game with only 9 players. I wish it would be possible to do the same in the game. Not that i would constantly take a player off in every game. Think i would hardly use it myself though. Probably when i have an exhausted player on the pitch, with no more substitutions left to make.

kingjericho Posted February 3, 2011 Share Posted February 3, 2011 I think it should be available only for players with a green cross. Nobody takes a player off the pitch just because he's tired. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RomaRulez Posted February 3, 2011 Author Share Posted February 3, 2011 Yeah, I wouldn't want it for tired players. Only those who have "taken a knock". Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Biscotti Posted February 3, 2011 Share Posted February 3, 2011 In my mind, a player on the pitch with a minor injury (as in, still able to continue playing) is more desirable than having no player on the pitch at all. I can't honestly see any particular reason why you would deliberately want to handicap yourself by having less players on the pitch Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
roykela Posted February 3, 2011 Share Posted February 3, 2011 I'd love to take a player off who's down to 40-something, but doesn't have a green cross. Sort of like in this situation, but where all the subs have been used. PS! Sorry about the big picture. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RomaRulez Posted March 1, 2011 Author Share Posted March 1, 2011 I believe I've actually found a way to do this. From the formation screen in the tactics window if you drag the player out of the formation and drop him he comes off the pitch. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reganio Posted March 1, 2011 Share Posted March 1, 2011 In my mind, a player on the pitch with a minor injury (as in, still able to continue playing) is more desirable than having no player on the pitch at all. I can't honestly see any particular reason why you would deliberately want to handicap yourself by having less players on the pitch Say you are playing against Blackpool as United, 5-0 up and its the 75th minute, Rooney picks up a knock. Would you rather leave him on the pitch and risk a major injury or take him off knowing that you have already won? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kiwi_Mark_LFC Posted March 2, 2011 Share Posted March 2, 2011 Are you sure? I am playing 2010 and cant see how you do that? I have tried on numerous occassions to remove an injured player after having already made 3 substitutions and I cant see how you can do it... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RomaRulez Posted March 2, 2011 Author Share Posted March 2, 2011 In 2010 it was easy. You just try to substitute the injured player with another player. The game would pop up a warning telling you that you were out of substitutions and asks if you want to take the player off the pitch. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
dezeman Posted March 2, 2011 Share Posted March 2, 2011 I've seen it happen once in real life where a coach took a player off that wasn't even injured with about 5 minutes left in the game. It was Afonso Alves who had scored 7 goals in a game sc Heerenveen were winning 9-0. With no substitutions left the coach decided to take him off anyway so he could get a standing ovation from the crowd. If this is possible in real life and was possible in earlier versions of FM I struggle to understand why it isn't in FM 2011. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I dont believe that is the case...I tried this again and it did not do this. I will have another play tonight but I dont believe that this has ever been the case...perhaps it a case of the injured player must actually be injured (with the green cross) as opposed to just tired...red cross players always come off of course Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kiwi_Mark_LFC Posted March 4, 2011 Share Posted March 4, 2011 Just tried to sub a player that had the green cross - didnt happen...dont believe this has ever been the case...suggest that people who think it was are either on drugs, drunk or confused!

RomaRulez Posted March 4, 2011 Author Share Posted March 4, 2011 Or you're just not smart enough to do it. Trust me, it was easy to do in FM10. I wouldn't have posted if it wasn't. Just because you can't figure out how to do something doesn't mean others can't. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigdanio Posted March 4, 2011 Share Posted March 4, 2011 Definitely 100% worked on FM10. Haven't had reason to try it on FM11 yet - which begs the question "why haven't I had an injury when I've already made 3 subs?" Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
SSGTroyer Posted March 4, 2011 Share Posted March 4, 2011 Worked FM08, FM09, and FM10. Doesn't work on FM11, but I haven't tried dragging from pitch to squadlist yet, only squadlist to pitch and squadlist sub7 to squadlist starting11 (neither of which work (redundant, I know (but who cares? At least I'm being clear ))). Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RomaRulez Posted March 4, 2011 Author Share Posted March 4, 2011 And what worked for me was no dragging from pitch to squadlist. It was dragging from pitch to someplace around the top of the screen where the menus are and dropping the player. I haven't had an opportunity to try it again. When it comes up I'll attempt to verify. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RomaRulez Posted March 8, 2011 Author Share Posted March 8, 2011 I have no idea how I was able to get it to work that one time but I've had a few more chances to pull green cross injured players off the pitch after 3 subs have been made and have not been able to do it. Developers: PLEASE add this feature back. I'd rather lose a game down a man by choice then lose a player to a long term injury because I couldn't get him off the field.

Erasmus Koay Posted August 18, 2017 Share Posted August 18, 2017 For FM 17, the way would be to go to Squad and right click at S1 to S12 where it greys out. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
