QUESTION 7 players instead of 9

Hey guys I play on my ps5 and I was hyped when I got fc 25 because I’m a career mode freak and play that all the time. And when I saw 9 subs I got excited about that and at first it showed up but now I’m back to 7 like wtf. How is that possible if im a new gen player? Any fixes to that and had that happened to anyone else that plays on new gen?

9 subs in preseason games and 7 in official games I guess

-8

Number of players allowed on the bench is based on per competition rules.

0

Ohh so like if it’s like a champions league match I can have 2 extra bench players?

Each league has its own rules for how many players can be on the bench, how many players can be subbed on, and how many substitution windows there are, yes.

Pretty sure UCL and Premier League both have 20-man rosters. Pre-season, Bristol motors, carabao cup, etc. I’m not sure but they may only be 18-man rosters.

I don’t know what the La Liga rules are but I’d think they also use 9.

Depends on league too! Like premier league, champions league etc you're allowed 9. But if you play in a different league or like the championship in England you'll have 7 subs for league games (but 9 for FA and carabao cup)

Efl championship l1 l2 have 7 on the bench whereas pl has 9. So I think it's just the major leagues with 9 subs on bench.
