but here is the question. do i lose if i set up the game with nobody playing or does the computer just pick some of my players to play for me?
it would be walkover, you lose by 25-0.computer will put players in game if you don't remove players from selected players area (selected players is in set lineup). But pleas don't do that! If your opponent trains at 1 position than he can get 48 min for his trainee! contact your opponent and ask him is it ok to do walkover that he can manage his min if he is training at 2 positions. If you want to lose set only 3 players and it would not be walkover and you will probably lose. But only 3 players, rest of the players remove from selected players because computer will put them in if you don't remove them.
