Understanding Auto Subs

Overview

If a player in your starting 11 doesn't play in a gameweek, ClubDraft automatically tries to bring in a bench player in their place, working through your bench in the order you've set.

Set your bench order

1. Go to your My Team page.
2. In the subs section, you'll see your bench: a goalkeeper, and the rest split across defence and midfield depending on the male/female balance your admin has set.
3. Use the arrows on each bench player to set the order you'd prefer them to come on.

How auto subs are chosen

1. If a player in your lineup doesn't play, ClubDraft tries to bring in your first-choice sub.
2. If that would break your team's rules — for example too many forwards, or an incorrect male/female balance — it moves to your second-choice sub.
3. If that doesn't work either, it tries your third-choice sub.
4. If none of your subs fit the rules, no auto sub is made for that player.

See which auto subs were made

1. Go to your History tab once the gameweek is complete.
2. Players who were subbed out show greyed out with a red arrow.
3. Scroll down to the auto subs section to see who came off, who came on, and the points each earned.
4. To see auto subs for another team, go to Ranks and click their team name — subbed-out players show the same greyed-out red arrow, and the bench player who came on is highlighted in green.
