You're The Gaffer - 17th June - Last Updated

Every week I'll create a scenario and you choose what to do. From Sunday League Cup Finals up to the World Cup Final. Lets start lightly.

Mens Sunday League Cup Final - 1-0 down in the 82nd minute

You have fielded a 4-4-2 formation, you're a man down from a 2 footed challenge and only brought along 4 subs - that's all you had, but the other team have made 3 subs and had their left-back go off injured. You have 1 more sub left, at your disposal is: Billy Smith, 18, 6ft2 centre-back with some pace, thats all he's got, the second option is 5ft11 keeper, Tommy Dextor, he likes to play upfront in training and has a fiesty shot on him, he has a fearsome temper and wears any badge with pride. A real man. On your pitch here are some of the key players: Centre-back, John Paul. He has a no-nonsense attitude and would take a ball to the nose to keep a team in a game, he's 6ft5 too. Centre-midfielder Sammy Worling. The best passer in the league, he can carve open a team in 3 touches. Lastly, top scorer in the league Ben Pobyas, good head, shot and awareness of the game.

What you gonna do?

Bring on the player that isn't the defender.

Shove the keeper up front.

Dextor and Smith are your only subs left!

bribe the ref to give us a penalty

I would rip my shirt off, revealing a kit, and then play myself.


Or..

I would just bring the keeper on and put him up front and tell him to get stuck in and try to work the goalkeeper with his 'feisty shot'

I don't get the relevance of the key players.

I'd probably leave bring on the keeper as a forward and take a defender off.

I have faith in my players so I wouldn't bring anyone on. I'd change to a 4-3-3 and push the defensive line up.

Bring on the center back, switch to a 3-4-2 and play him upfront alongside my star striker.

What would I do?

Bring on Ol' Tommy Dextor and he will hopefully bag a goal to take it to Extra-time, then just take it from there. Good Idea too mate!

Sub off the passer for the keeper, play 2 in goal, bring off the best defender and put on the other person. Rest them 2 for the next game.

Stick the 6ft 2 centre back on upfront. Run the fuck out the player in their left back position since their first choice went off injured and get whipping balls into the box and hope for the best. Or even stick the 6ft 2 defender in the back line and move the 6ft 5 one upfront.

Do nothing because I can add as many minutes of stoppage time as I want until my team scores.

Why is the best passer and also top scorer both on bench?

Inb4 not fully fit.

That's a great point.

They are not in the bench, he was just stating that those are key players.

Oh, wow. I didn't read it properly.

I'll edit to make it clearer

Bring the keeper on in place of the current keeper and then carry on as normal.

So are these any good? I was thinking of doing real life scenarios, but I didn't know if anyone would prefer them to fantasy ones.

Shall I keep going guys?

6ft2 defender subbed in the backline, 6ft5 up front and then just get some crosses in.
