Substitues data in confirmed lineups missing

Can you help me with finding substitutes in line-ups, currently I only see an empty array, I don't see subs data. Either the endpoint has changed or I am not sure

Resolution: Added ?full=true parameter to events endpoint request to retrieve complete lineup data including substitutes.

Hey WillG25,

Good news — you're looking in the right place. Substitutes data *is* there, but you need to add `?full=true` to your request.

The lineups endpoint requires the full parameter to include spatial data, which includes the bench players. Try this:

```
GET /api/events/{id}/?full=true
```

Without `?full=true`, lineups return null. Once you add it, you'll get the complete lineup with starters *and* substitutes for both teams.

Quick note: spatial data (lineups, shotmap, momentum, etc.) only works for finished matches or matches already in progress. If the match hasn't started yet, these fields will be null.

Let me know if that sorts it!
