in this case your change would be pointless, since the guy play 49 minutes anyway and there isn't a uncertainity in it.

Just last week I had my star player who I was training pulled from the game with two minutes to go in a blowout scrimmage. I had only dressed eight guys and set the usual "strictly follow/let them play/S-R-B" parameters. Stupid coach!

I also sometimes like to get non-trainees to get 48+ in one game during all star week depending on how hard the league match is, managing minutes that week can be a challenge and I'd rather not risk my stars in a scrimmage against some lucky fan with a flick knife.

Ahh??? It will make it more precise and predictable (less randomness) that this player will receive the intended 48 minutes AND play different positions.

you say there isn't uncertainity, so why it isn't predictable or precise? I think those 2-3 minutes another player can get are fine, since uncertainity in the minutes is wanted, could be even happen more often in my opinion. Since an exact minute appointment isn't wanted, in the other lineup moptions i think this should be the case there two.

In this case the randomness is not having a more complex game (which is a blessing), but making it harder to control as a BB-manager will.

Hence, I believe this suggestion is welcome.

In any case, one that asks a player to play SB&R is taking at least a chance for that.
Usually, he means it this way (48 minutes). Otherwise, he will not use this option.

Well, thanks for completely disregarding both my opinion and experience on this matter. Of course, if your suggestion is implemented I will change my way, but until then I will continue setting my line-ups in the blatantly erroneous way I have used for about 15 seasons now with results that have worked for my team.

Using SR&B as you claim to use will cause (most of the time) having 48 minutes to that player, even if one will use different positions. So, you are not "planing" to have in that case less than 48 minutes.

You are free to check my competitive game history for the past few seasons if you are interested on this topic. I urge you to check it if you want to debate my plans and my experience.

One cannot check what had been set (SB&R), so this claim is pretty empty of real content.
