EDIT - I have pes 2013 on my PC still I think i might check it out dont think i ever played it much
not as far as i recall deco? juventus seem to bring on cuadrado when i play them but start with there new signing some 60 rated kid whos is useless seems to happen all over the leagues odd rated players being started infront of better ones i think its a case they sell a player in that specific position and replace it with a new signing no matter how crap they are
my goalkeeper hasnt really helped the AI he is pulling of insane saves like this one in the last minute i almost put the controller down thinking well thats a goal plus one he did vs salah of roma cross came salah header it and my gk spread himself mid air and saved it lol crazy

Love a save like that. That's what you want isn't it? About the subs and that I always go in and put in their regular lineups as they should be and then put strong players on their subs list. . can take a while. a while back after konamis updates petr cech was playing as centre forward for Arsenal. But as you say in Master League the A.i does it's own thing sometimes.
