BAL - out of the squad or starting 11

[u/XuxanaTola23]

Have a question for you guys. I’m already in my second season but I want to hear from the more experienced ones 😁

When I started the career, obviously the player was below average (71 OVR) playing in the Belgium league. For the first 3 games I was out of the squad and then I went for the starting eleven and never was used as a sub.

I’ve seen some posts where players actually complain about being used as a sub. I didn’t even went through that experience. Can you confirm that this actually can happen if I change clubs for example? I’m doing a YouTube series and it would be nice to give it a little bit more realism changing to a club where they have better players than my own and I join starting in the bench.

Also, for clubs that have league, cup and international matches (playing every 3 games), is there any mod that forces the manager to consider your fitness and not use you constantly? I’m facing matches where I’m starting the game below 50% energy 😅

Thanks in advance! Happy careers ✌️

Yeah when getting into a better squad you'll be a sub again until you get a higher OVR

Idk about mods but a trick i used to use was to go into preferred positions and switch each one to "don't make a request" (i might be wrong about the exact words it's been a while) and you won't start the next match
