I'm training one of my younger players and he's at an uncomfortable 40 minutes. In order to assure that I get 48+ this week, am I going to have to start him my next game or will I be able to get away with him coming off the bench? Thanks in advance.

Set your lineup line this, where "B" is the player in question.

A-B-A.

He should get ~12 minutes.

A-B-B should get him ~16 minutes if you want to make sure.

"Strictly follow depth chart"

If you remember me, then I don't care if everyone else forgets.

Not in all cases. If it is a blowout win he could get 20+ minutes and if it is a blowout loss or close match he is likely to get only 5-10 minutes. Unless of course, the difference between the starter and the trainee is very less, in which case he may get more minutes.

three important things in this case:

1- will the match be a blowout?
If yes, expect around 20 mins for your backup.

2- is there a great skill difference between your starter and your backup?
If yes, i myself have experienced 44-4 minute distributions between players even when strictly following depth chart. Because my backup was way too worse than my starter.

3- what is the stamina level of your starter?
lower stamina for your starter will yield more minutes for your backup.

To sum up, if you have incredible skill difference between the players and the starter has 8-9 stamina, your trainee may not get 8 minutes. In every other case, set him as backup.
