I checked your lineup for the match (you can too, by loading the former lineup in the tactics page) and Rodrigues was set as starter at PG and sub at SG. You must have forgot to replace him at PG. Such things happen, been there myself this season already.

Now I did have 12 players active, but 10 were assigned to the depth chart.

Herein lies the mistake. If you don't want the extra players to play in garbage time, don't include them for the game at all. It's one of the basic rules of getting predictable minutes, as it was written many times here.

The data (which you can also check by loading the former game in the tactics page) clearly shows Whitlam as your starting C, with Underwood set as backup and reserve.

Please use the "Load Former Match Tactics" option to check what lineup you set for the game before posting it here as a bug.

Thanks for looking into this - I fully accept that I could be in the wrong and expect it to be the case. I only reported it due to the other AU player reporting this and putting me on alert. Especially considering the steps I use to set my lineup (hotkeys etc)

If there haven't been any commits put into production, then sure. If there have been... Well, I have seen unintended consequences rear their head months down the line myself... and I have dedicated testers that get paid a decent wage.

There were no changes for a long time in that department, sorry to say, but you can rest easy though, no changes means no unpredictable new bugs.

Hey, thanks for the engagement - in terms of the list, the dude selected is right below the one meant to play. I am 100% with you on it being my fault.

Thanks for the reply. Wasn't a big deal, just wanted to know for future reference.

Yes, I was aware that the extra players can come in, but... Seemed odd that the first players in weren't all from the depth chart. Thought that can only happen when using "let coach decide" but guess not.

Hi gojbil.

As I explained via BB-mail, the tactics were set that way, so someone (you, most probably, unless you were hacked) must have set that lineup at one point and never changed it. Sorry, but nothing can be done, since there was no bug.

In my cup game tonight (45523126) my chosen backups at PF and C started.

That center played 48 minutes and ended up with 105 minutes on the week.
That PF played 35 minutes, 91 for the week, and got injured in the game.

The "former match tactics" show that I had two other players as the starters. Quite annoyed about biffing up game shape, and I suspect the injury would have been much less likely to occur in the correct lineup. I played "let coach decide", but I've never had this starters change when using this option.

Group hug!
