He had 33 minutes out of 37 possible at the point where he got tagged with exhaustion, so he clearly wasn't being substituted enough earlier in the game.

Given that Xuan was backing up both Lun and Bo, I'm not really surprised that the coach put Xuan in for Bo first, since the salary and DMI eyeball suggests to me that Xuan is much less of a drop-off in skill from Bo.

Personally, I don't use coach picks so I can't speak from experience on how much that influences the substitution decision. But it seems reasonable to me that the coach would favor Lun over Xuan unless Lun's stamina was very depleted, given the difference in skill between the two players, especially if Xuan is already worn down from substituting for Bo before he switched to PG.

What I can confirm is that there is no random factor with the exhaustion effect. I can't go into details of the mechanics of it, but bear in mind that the exhaustion feature was implemented exactly to combat the small roster teams, and, we believe, in that it has had a very positive effect.
On the other hand, just like with all the other changes in the GE, it's probably not perfect and can have unwanted and unexpected side-effects, especially in specific cases. Since the largest majority of teams only use "follow depth chart" substitution tactic, we generally test changes with it, rather than the other options. In this case, you might have some unexpected results due to that specific setting, but it's just a feeling at this point. If it happens more regularly we can test this out more (in case you decide to keep using "coach picks from depth chart").

Thanks for your response.

I'm not insisting on making a change.
We can think of it as the coach on the sidelines sometimes making mistakes (the manager's demands being too difficult), which leads to player exhaustion.
Personally, I would choose to adjust the lineup settings and find a more satisfactory solution.
