This award would be given to both the manager and player in question, rewarding the former's thinking and the latter's performance. It would be a tricky award to give away, but one which should be on the list.
Substitutes are as important in a game as tactics and formations. When your team is down and out, a change of personnel can turn things around, and when you are winning, a substitution can see your team through.
Of course, the former is always more exciting, but the latter is as important. This kind of award would benefit from the same system which FIFA uses for the Puskas - an online poll.
It is impossible to count the number of times a substitution has impacted the game. The most famous example this year is when Liverpool's Georginio Wijnaldum came on for Andrew Robertson in the Champions League semi-final second leg at Anfield. The midfielder scored two goals in two minutes and that changed the complexion of the tie, as well as the competition's history.
Not only would this award be a creative way of rewarding two individuals at once, it would be interactive, as the fans would also be involved in the process.
