When it was only 5 substitutes I never had a keeper but now it's up to 7 substitutes I usually put one on the bench, especially in European games.

I always name a goalkeeper on the bench, just for the simple fact of Sod's Law. I know that if I didn't name one, then my goalkeeper would be sent off or become injured with no replacement goalkeeper.Having said that, I cannot remeber very many occasions where I actually have had to replace my goalkeeper.

Never have a Keeper on the Bench.

Never had my Keeper go off injured or get sent off in 10 seasons.

Been playing two teams at the same time for the last 7 of them.

Depends how many subs I could name.
If its a league with 3 subs then no, if its a league with 5 or 7 subs named then yes.

I always have a GK on the bench. I learned that lesson early on in FM2006.

Next choice for the bench is a DF. When I take over a club, one of my first acquisitions is a DF that can play anywhere along the back line. If that player starts, my bench DF is a player who plays the position the three-way DF is in. Otherwise the three-way is on the bench.

Third on the bench is a ST.

The other two spots are versatile MFs, optimally one that can play anwhere across the middle. I always have one or two on my squad. My most valuable bench player is a guy who is natural anywhere along the back line and the midfield.

i used to always with 5subs but since reading a few posts on here i thought about it and realised ive never had a keeper sent off or injured, so stopped putting one on the bench (except big cup games e.g semis or finals).

came back to haunt me yesterday though when i was 2-0 up and my keeper got injured, so my striker went in net and we lost 4-2 lol
