Chat Super Sub

[Mulambo]

Has anyone come across forwards that they would categorise as "super-subs"? Players that score a lot of goals when they come on as subs but don't seem to score so many when they are in the starting line up?

Is there any pattern to this? Are their particular attributes that make players super subs?

I wouldn’t say there’s any particular attributes, but most recent example of this in my experience was Chicharito, was testing some tactics for West Ham. He scored everytime off the bench but if I started him he done nothing 🤔

In my experience poachers (like Hernandez as above) tend to score as Super subs  as they are fast and towards the end of the game players are tired so they can outpace them. But most poachers for me will score anyway if they start but that’s just a bonus

funnily enough, i forgot to come back here yesterday, but my reserve DM is called Solskjaer - maybe Ole Gunnar's son, and obv dad was a classic "super sub". anyway i brought my lad on in a game yesterday and he banged in 2 goals in the last 15 mins

but otherwise no, i've never really noticed any particularly good super-subs...

I have Lautaro Martinez as a back up striker in my TT career and he has been getting 20+ goals per season despite only ever playing about 20 minutes per match.
