So smart. Can create 5v5, get the sub off quickly why maintaining movement, and even possibly get a offensive middie stuck playing defense if they don't play the pick and switch correctly.
For the defense, is getting the personnel you want on the field worth the risk of getting beat on a substitution. Why not stay on the field, possibly even get a quick double??
Some might say it's worth it. On my team, my offensive personnel don't really know the defensive calls. This makes them a liability and we look to get them off the field if we can.
You could do that and some teams do. Just depends on the team. Some teams are running offensive specialists at midfield who are either liabilities on defense or so valuable on offense that it's best to have them on offense for as many possessions as possible by trying to minimize the number of times they get caught on defense.
