You're facing at least two problems here:

1) The username field has been deprecated with Graph API v2.0
2) The /{user_id}/subscribers edge has been deprecated with Graph API v2.0

I guess you'll not be able to do what you want to achieve unfortunately.

See https://developers.facebook.com/docs/apps/changelog#v2_0_graph_api
