Wouldn't depth chart until 4th mean:
-first 3 quarters are run using strictly follow depth chart
-final quarter is run using let coach decide
If so, then the starters should never be switched immediately (because it's SFDC)
That's precisely how I thought it works. The question is to isolate some common condition for the starting lineup failure, and there seems to be none yet :/
well, a lot of people specified that they used "Strictly follow deep chart" or "Depth chart chart until 4th" and the match has started with wrong line up.
In my case it happens every week for the friendly. Simply whatever I choose as substitution options, if there is a very better player set as 2nd or 3rd the match start with him as 1st.
