[QUOTE="Cruz_del_Sur, post: 1183052, member: 55747"] That was my instinctive reaction the first time I heard about this but after talking to people who know more about this than I do I am not sure anymore. Hard to tell. You would have several things going on, most of them moving the needle in different directions. Would players get exhausted or would they pace themselves a bit more? Two very tired players going at each other vs a fresh one vs a tired one: which scenario has a higher chance of injury? I don't mind tactical changes and naturally, I am not against substituting injured players. I dont particularly like the idea of making changes to introduce someone who only brings fresh legs to the table, but it is just a personal preference. [/QUOTE]
