My last game I set my trainee as a starter, back up and reserve in the C position. But he ended up playing just 45.
Tactics were Strictly Follow Depth, Let them Play. There were no extra players in the squad. No injuries and no foul outs. Everything was set perfectly.
Then can someone explain to me, why did my trainee get substituted by my starting PF, 3 minutes before the end?
That's the third time this happens to me this season, and I'm starting to lose patience.

Did you also set the "Reserve" slot in the non trainee positions? Even with 9 players, no injuries and no foul outs, you can have your trainee subbed out in a big blowout win (such as your last cup game).

This is solved by ensure that each player listed in the "Backup" is also listed in the "reserve" for ALL positions, trainee or not.

What is your trainees stamina? Usually low stamina is the reason for those end of game substitutions. Slow tactics and 5 stamina should do the trick.

the engine is not really intended for the 48 minute trick, there is always a small risk that it doesn't work.

3 out 6 times it hasn't worked this season, that's 50%. I don't know why I set the strictly follow depth chart option anymore.

For the past 31 training weeks I've done a large majority of single position training, trying to get guys 48+ minutes in a single game. The only reason I've had a player not get 48+ was due to injuries or foul outs. SFDC, dress 9 guys, every starter/backup/reserve slot filled. Maybe you've just been unlucky.

This definitely doesn't look like a mistake in the lineup setup; the guy plays straight through and then is replaced by a starter. The skill differential between him and the guy who replaced him is substantial but certainly not extreme. This might just be one of those "when you get up by over 50, crap happens" substitutions that occasionally show up.

I guess you're right. Don't think a starter should replace another starter in a Strictly follow depth chart game without apparent reason. That for me is a bug.

I agree, it's a bug. I'll add the issue to the list of GE bugs that need fixing.

There is one thing that you might try: shuffle the reserve positions in such a way so they don't match the backup positions. I always do that and it seems to have helped.
