Starting rb 'benched' during last 2 minutes

[justlikepudge]

I'm playing an online franchise where we did a fantasy draft and I have Saquon Barkley. Every game when we have the 2 minute warning it won't put saquon in the game anymore (but both my 2nd and 3rd stringers will play). Is there a fix to this?

My guess is something to do with fatigue, or the fatigue slider

Yeah, it has to do with your auto sub settings, it's been an issue since ps3 days....

What are your fatigue settings at? Or your auto subs?

Fatigue is at 50 (I haven't messed with gameplay sliders at all). RB auto sub out at 80, sub in at 85. This has happened to me multiple games now (including one where I just got the ball back after forcing a punt so one would assume it wouldn't be fatigue)

If it's not fatigue related it may be play call related , is he your 3rd down back or power back , who may be be being substituted in , however it's more likely to be fatigue

Based on previous years, I think it has to do with the auto subs.

I'm just not well versed enough in them to try and explain why.

I'm sure someone else knows more about how it all works and why it takes out your main RB towards the end of games

I would try 80/84 for your autosub setting. In past games, 85 for the ‘in’ value is where those issues would begin to kick in.

Along with fatigue auto/sub suggestions, make sure Barkley is set in your depth chart as the 3rd down back, since the 2-minute playcall situation may automatically be defaulting that back to appear in your line-up. Good luck.

Saquon is listed as my 3rd down back as well as my power back. I'll try changing the in setting for auto sub (I want to say I had it at 90 the first time this happened but can't remember for sure).

Just for the record (I know it's not the cause of the OP's issue), specialist subs continue to be driven by formation regardless of scenario (red zone, 2 min, etc). If the form/set is designed to use the PWHB, for example, the only thing that'll override that other than a user sub is fatigue, and you'd see the PWHB2 in that case.
