well then, I must be a very lucky guy having many players with level 9 shape many times during a season because when I can prevent it my players will never get 55 minutes. In fact I always hate it when they get more then 53, because that means more then 5 minutes wasted in training for an other guy.
On the other hand I must also be very unlucky because often if they do get between 55 and 60, which would be a small area of idealism so we might expect something decent in return if we bring them to that amount, I experienced drops very often, back to level 8...
Maybe there realy is no diffrence between 46 and 57, but many teams have their players play around 55 to 60 minutes each week because they have a few players less on their team. I on the other hand, while not in the B3 tournament often have a few players which I can not give more then 40 minutes because I have a team that has a few players more then the average. So I realy know what I talk about when I talk about 36 to 50 minutes.
On the other hand I know much less about 60 minutes or more, since that is a realy no-go for my team's players.
But by all means, go ahead and have your players play between 55 and 60 minutes each week. I realy don't mind. I'll keep doing what I'm doing and we will both be happy. ;)
They are not your friends; they dispise you. I am the only one you can count on. Trust me.
