In a week's time the playoffs will start, I will most likely end up #3 in the league and the #1 and #2 have already been decided. In the last match of the season I have to play versus the #2 in my league, which I'll most likely end up meeting again in the playoffs in the first round.

Should I:

1. Play both matches with my best team and therefore mess up my minutes completely in case I go on to the next round?
2. Trash the season match and play with my trash team, so after that I can play my best team in the playoffs, and being able to manage my minutes. Also not showing how I will play my next match ( I switch tactics a little every now and then)

Normally I would choose option #2, but I don't know if this might have a sight effect to it.

Thanks in advance to those answering.

I'd play TIE = more enthusiasm when the playoffs start. The last game of the season will be played on Saturday, which means even if you were to play your players for full minutes, it wouldn't affect on your game shapes before the first playoff game. You shouldn't worry about managing the minutes during the playoff, as when you loose a game your season is over. And when a new season starts gameshapes will be resetted.

Ofcourse I'm going to play TIE, this is not my concern.

I'm concerned about what if I win, then I'll go to the next round, which will be played on the Saturday following this match. I wouldn't give a damn if I thought I didn't stand a chance versus this guy, but having monitored him lately I think I stand a pretty good chance of making it into the 2nd round of the playoffs.

If I play my best team in both matches, they'll get way too many minutes for their game shapes to be good the week after that. I'm not concerning my decision on how I'll perform during the 1st round in the playoffs, more of what comes after.

You don't need to win to get 3rd so i would do what u need to do to give yourself the best chance in the playoffs.
