if you want a player to play 48mins without being replaced you should go "strictly follow depth chart", ignore foul trouble, and play with 9 players maximum... you must assign a substitute to the other 4 players... this way, your player must play the entire game unless he gets 6 fouls or get injured... or unless he has too low stamina... this works even if your team is far more powerful than your opponent and your coach decides to replace your starters.

My experiences are different even at these conditions, however I can check that for sure. I was making this suggestion during very angry moment, perhaps Im calculating with wrong expectations.

The easiest way to train players is knowing you will blow out the opponent with your trainees playing 48 minutes. 9-8 players depending on training positions will usually net you those minutes (fouls, injury).

Rather than derssing worthless scrubs try playing a VERY short roster. I don't do it but a friend of mine usually only dresses 6 players per game with "let them play" and "strictly follow depth chart" selected. He very rarely has these problems.

Will not go there a lucky fan then? I mean 6 players probably isnt enough for a coach.

Thanks for this, it was a question I had post my game today... now I have my answer (still... I only played with eleven and EVERY one of my starters was sat in the 4th).

I have posted this somewhere before but a friend of mine Naker Virus who is well known on the boards often plays with only 6 players. This makes it very, very unlikely that your players will get subbed off but it does leave you very vulnerable to fouls and injuries. I play most games with 8 guys.
