I always hear that all the settings are broken anyway.

Pick from DC might be fine if you want bench minutes and aren't trying to lock any starters in for 48 minutes. Just make sure not to have any bench players not in your DC or it might still use those guys.

Strictly follow is best used for training if you want to get your trainees 48 minutes in a single game by setting them to all 3 slots for that position. If you're looking for bench minutes, this strategy may not be for you. Though you could set both bench slots per position to the same guy and hope that gets him in. Doing that, I usually get ~35 minutes for starters and ~13 for bench players

LCD with a well presented 8-9 man rotation tends to get the results I seek. But if it is about ensuring training minutes then strict is the route to take.

By well represented I mean of a quality that is a slight level below the starter but still able to hold their own, those are the guys who i notice get decent minutes and help the starters stay fresh.

Here's a beauty

Not the end of the world but seriously!

I have a suggestion about subs. Why can't the game developers make something like this:
1. you set your 1. and 2. (subs) lineup (lets say you only pick 10 players for the game)
2. you choose your attack/defense tactics and all that stuff
3. and then, you have a "button" choice at every player: you have 3 choices:
-minus (-): that player will play less in the game than normal*
-neutral (?): the player plays normal* minutes
-plus (+): the player plays more than normal*

*normal: the amount of minutes the player gets in the current GE

What do you think? It's just a rough description, the details would be added later. I think it's agreat idea, because managers could choose how mauch playing time a player gets in a game.

This is interesting... but probably would require restructuring of the lineup page to insert all those extra options after each player without making it look bad. Especially starters the way they're laid out.

Also what if you make a conflict? Like You put all 3 PF slots to "+". How would the engine handle this?

I like the idea, but there's a lot to think about in making it actually feasible.
