Hi, is it possible to have a partial lineup (only 3 positions filled), with backups at the filled starter sports, and the other 2 positions blank? If I use SFDC, will I only play 3 players at a time and have substitutions for those 3 spots I filled, or will the coach place my backups as starters for the positions I left blank?

I'd like to give some players extra minutes for gameshape purposes and the starters I want to give extra minutes, but not 48. I don't want the ones that only need 10-15 minutes to play 48 though.

Also; what is the best defense to prevent fouls with a partial lineup? M2M or maybe a certain zone?

Your coach would put any spare backups as starters no matter what sub pattern you use.

It depends how how much OD/ID/SB you have, along with the how good your opponent is offensively.

Just spend 1k on some scrubs that you'll fire after the game so you don't have to pay their salary. Use them to fill the positions in the other places you don't want your players to play.

Yeah that's a good plan. I'll do that next time; I removed my backups from my lineup blocks but I forgot to deactivate them :<
