SFDC is ,what I been told, the best way if you wanna use as many player as possibel in the same match, right?

Then two questions!

Why does some player stay on the feild for more than 40 minutes when using that order?
Who decides when to change, and what influence the time on court for a player?

in my experience with SFDC the starter gets 36 min and the Backup 12. It sometimes difers by 1 or 2 minutes.

Off course if you have foul trouble, injured player or so, this changes...

This is not universally true. A starter can get quite a wide range of minutes (approximately 32-42, depending on circumstances), and there are no hard caps in either direction.

pls tell me what you are saying that is fundamentally different from what i have said??

i can give you facts that in 90% off the games my starters play between 34 and 38 minutes. 32 and 33 or more than 38 min happens, but very rarely. off course depending on circumstances like fouls, injuries etc it can differ more. but i play SFDC in 99% off my games and my starters in 90% or higher % always have between 34 and 38 min

i can show you prove that even than it makes a small difference.

my starters are way way better than my backups and it almost always works.

like i said, there are a few rare occasions that doesnt work, but in general it seems to work for me.

Here I think a change would be apprpiate.

If I play SFDC and "Take it Easy" the manager should try to make 36/12 even though the stamina might be a problem or the difference between the player is very big. The same in scrimmages, since they dont mather in winning or loosing, they are just to get practice, and every normal trainer would allow players to play even if they are a bit tired or worse than the bench

And like koz said, it's not universally true. I actually found your claim so surprising based on my own experiences that I went through my own competitive and PL games this season. I checked for each game whether at least 3 of the 5 starters played between 34 and 38 minutes. Here is a summary of my findings:

In 11 games, at least 3 starters had 34-38 minutes.
In 18 games, this was not the case.

That's about 38%, which is way below your findings.

In addition to the games listed above, 1 game went to OT and 1 game went to double-OT. In these two games, most starters played more than 40 minutes, but that is hardly surprising. I would also like to note that out of the 29 games that did not go to OT, there were several games where all my starters were between 34 and 38 minutes, and several games were none my starters were between 34 and 38 minutes. Obviously, in all games I used strictly follow depth chart. In addition, in most games I let the players play in foul trouble.

pls point out where i said it is universally true and that there were no exceptions. or even remotely said something like it.

i did the same thing. and not taking into account the 1 player i train 48 min a week, not taking account blow outs and not taking into account foul troubles, injuries, over time or other exceptions i come to these minutes. the first three games at the bottom were at the start off the season and my backup players perform better with good GS. in almost all my games the minutes are between 34 and 38... sometimes 39 or 40. but this is my prove it works for me... no clue why it doesnt for you or others...

if its eazy game (blowout) then bench comes to court sooner. for example in my blowout win week ago by 40 pts my players played between 29 and 21 minutes:D if its point-by point game then ur starters may play even 46or 47mins
