Three sub-players with the new Yellow/Red Card rules

Before the regular season ends and some of the leagues teams go dormant, it is now the right time to mention the exciting additions in store for season 2 of the BSL. Hopefully, whether you won or lost, you had fun and will be returning with your option to have a Designated Player or trade it away.

The new rules being added are:
Three substitute players.
This will give more options to the team operator when starters go off on National Team duties. Having 3 sub's is also a key component for the other new rules being introduced to the league next season.
Yellow Card rule.
When a player receives a yellow card it will be documented and tallied (by his name) towards the teams official count. If the BIGTIME teams roster has two yellows in the same game, their opponent will be allowed to count their first sub in the boxscore. Therefore your sub-playerS line-up order has more value since the top placed substitute is the one that gets in the score sheet. If 4 yellow cards are obtained by a roster in the same game, then sub-player #2 will be counted in the boxscore. Like the real game, you are allowed a maximum of 3 subs.
Red Card Rule.
If your player gets a Red Card in the same game, then not only does your opponent get a sub to count (see yellow card rule) but that player is tossed from the game and his points will not be counted if he has any in the boxscore. YOU WILL BE PLAYING A MAN-SHORT.

  3. The idea that I can have my top bench player come in and possibly make a difference in a game is perfect. I find it very rare that any of us would have 4 yellows on a roster in the same game so making sure I put the right guy in the first sub-spot would be key.

    I mean I want to place my best 8 as starters ofcourse and then my best 9th player on top of the bench. Even if this player scores nothing, the fact that the bench truly has value would definitely add to the strategy.

    This is brilliant on so many levels. You're the best commish man.
