Looking at your conference overview, I see 5 bot teams. You should be able to beat those teams with some backups in the lineup, if not all.

Your Cup game looks like a close matchup, so if you want to save starters for that game then use as many backups as possible in your league game against the bot.

If you have to use 1 or 2 starters in all the games to feel confident, just understand there's a potential GS hit for them. It won't kill you to do it once. If you survive in the Cup, maybe pick 1 or 2 different starters to play 3 games the next week.

In the long run, you are likely to get a really tough Cup game soon and will be out anyway. And with all those bot teams, you'll be able to do a lot of TIE and manage minutes very well the rest of the season and get your GS up.

You should be fine.

Plan accordingly. Decide which games you need to win and play your starters there. If your playing bots, you may be able to play your backups and get the win while playing your starters in the cup!
