Direct Object Clause vs. Subject Clause

Hi,

Could you, please, help me out with the following exercise:

Specify the syntactic function of the embedded clause:






For you to win the competition would be essential to your club.


Direct Object Clause

Subject Clause

Prepositional Object Clause

Indirect Object Clause

I think it´s a Subject Clause, but someone said it´s a Direct Object Clause.

Thanks in advance!

Regards,

For you to win the competition is the subject of the sentence. 'Be' does not take direct objects anyway.
