The CM can sometimes work around this with some (earlier) double switches but, otherwise, it's stuck.If you play with that switch turned on (some leagues do), make sure you have at least a few guys with available PA's vs. both sides on your bench. Or, as I do, go in and change individual player limits to 999 (or at least some number higher than real life) vs. either/both side. (Just make sure you farm or replace such a guy before he gets you into overuse trouble in your league.)
