I don't see why you think you're piling on. See the bolded part of my post

Basically - I agree with Superfly and Crazyeye on this one. Splitting the minutes for 2 players over 2 games just doesn't work, unless you are 2 position training and only training 5 players. Even then, I try to get some of my players the full 48 minutes early in the week, so I don't have to worry about them later in the week.

Also, your take is that it is hard to get 48 minutes. My take is that you should be able to do it 95% of the time and that the remaining 5% is an annoyance that I can live with.

isnt it annoying when u play your best trainee and he ends up with 47 mins

Try playing him in more than 1 game.

Why not give some advice that you would actually follow yourself?

What a worthless contribution.

Play your trainees for more than 1 game, or be prepared to live with the loss of minutes is precisely what I follow. When it comes to training, it is advice I would give to anyone.

What exactly is the worth of your contribution in this post, by the way?

You did gave a very bad advice the rest dosen't matter. i just hope you didn't want to hurt other's tream on purpose by giving them bad advices.

If the goal is to maximize training for the greatest possible number of players, then Kodlozevs advice missed, but it is not neccesarily bad. I value the training very differently for my players (1 above everyone else, 2 more than the rest, 1 I try to give 48+ whenever possible, and 2-3 that get spare minutes whenever it fits my schedule), and for my 1-3 most valued players I sometimes play them in several matches (like Kodlozevs advice). Especially when I face hard competition. I have to take Kodlozevs advice in defence, because it all comes down to playing style and what each manager choose to focus on. So even if it is a widespread opinion that maximising training for the greatest possible number of players, it is not automatically bad advice because it does not fit your style. Notice how i made opinion in italic, because we must not mix up opinions with truth. Truth is there are different approaches, only 1)knowledge, 2)experience, 3)circumstance and 4)personal preference should decide what ways and options each of us choose to pursue.

To everyone that did not like Kodlozevs advice: Try to be a little more constructive and give your own advices instead of just dismissing others advices. You are not helping by missioneering ONE particular playstyle.
Clarification: He also just said that to be certain to get 48+ minutes you could field your player in more than 1 match. This does not sound strange to me. BB's have said several times that minute management is not supposed to be easy as 1-2-3, so this is sound advice in many ways. Also, the numbers I hear on how much training effect you lose by having less (i.e.47vs44,5) minutes is news to me presented as facts. Can I get a link to the study or some info on what these numbers are based on? The training minutes have been stated not to be linear. ->(435.18) (381.802)
