Substitutions

Question

During a live game, when a substitution is made ‘player_id’ is the player substituted and ‘assist_id’ is the player coming on. When the game ends, for all substitutions ‘player_id’ is the player coming on, and ‘assist_id’ is the player substituted.

Why is this? Why is this switched? It is very difficult to code around.

Still doing it. EPL, Man City v Arsenal. During the game player_id = player subbed, assist_id = player coming on. End of game, player_id = player coming on, assist_id - player subbed.

Game 11441 had two errors for substitutions
Game 11297 also had two errors for substitutions

Peter Addison · Answer

Subs seem to be a minefield of errors. In match 710572 the id of the player coming off was given as 'NULL' even though it was a well-known player (Ilkey Gundogan). These errors are repeatedly breaking my code.

I noticed a change around this recently as well and was told nothing had changed.

It broke my code too.
