Apologies if this has been asked before but I have a few players that I only want to play for around 30 minutes in the scrimmage to get their minutes for the week. The issue is that I only have 5 players that I want to play. Normally this isn't a problem but I want to play two of the players as backups thus leaving me with only 3 starters.

Now my question is this - will the game engine sub in my backup player for the missing starter - or will it play a lucky fan?

If it will sub in my backups as starters then the minutes will be a screwed up for the players they are supposed to backup. So do I just need to buy two scrimmage fodder players to play as the other starters or will the game engine let me play a starter and backup leaving one starting position blank?

Thanks for any info you can provide

Your back-ups will play as starters in empty positions - no other way.

Everyone slides up a position if you leave them out, definitely need to buy fodder. If you have 5 guys that need 30 or so minutes you might need 5 fodder.

Option 1: Buy 3~5 bench players to use up those 15ish minutes.
Option 2: Place your players out of natural positions. For example, put PG into C position, SG into PF position, place SF into PG spot, put C into SF position, and put PF into SG position. The aim is to let them foul out in 30ish minutes. Sadly, your SG/SF would probably play 48 minutes as both could play numerous roles in the lineup.

Thanks for the responses - I am going to go with option 1 - buying 3 crappy players to fill in the gaps.

I would rather not have to rely on my guys fouling out as I have no idea what sort of team I will be up against - but thanks for the idea.
