hm, I think you misunderstood.

I was reacting on the fact that someone said:

I will give him 72 minutes this week ... SO .. . his shape will be up next week.


5 or less indeed is lack of minutes played in both first weeks of the season. That's prety sure. (or way to many)

I think it's stupid to give any player more then 70 minutes...because they all need to be in a good GS...
And in the case of an NT player...if he plays 75 minutes a week, his GS will drop (or the chance is higher that his GS drops) and he will become a normal player, and not the superstar in your team (he has to perform on the field to...but not to much...)

I'm trying to give all my players 55-60 max 70 if I really have to...but I always keep an eye on the 48 minute minimum.
(p.s. Heye played for 54 minutes this week, so he'll have a good GS for the next (NT) game)

--> the general message:
train your players well, so that they can replace each other without a difference in quality...try to give them 48 minutes...but not more then 65 (60), so that they all have the good GS, and that they could give that little bit extra in the next game...

Another point: if your NT superstar gets injured, the other players could replace him
+
more minutes = more chance of injuries!

that was me. the reason is simple. I used him at the bench for the first game, but it was an easy victory for my team and he played for 24 minutes as PF.
But I'm gonna train passing for him and he still needs 48 minutes as PG tomorrow. Normally I use the players for 60-70 minutes per week. Anyway, it seems to me 72 minutes is still ok for getting GS=8.

well, bad luck for Loddo, he is still at respectable.
but
(5217966) 79mins - profocient
(6901305)79 mins - strong
(794389) 72 mins - strong

and there's respectable,... and ... respectable.

respectable can be either towards 6, or towards 8. With the right minutes it mostly will be 7,5 or up, so most likely towards the 8, which is still good enough for games.

Personally I only start lokking for other players when the shape is at 6 or lower. For 7's the better player mostly get's my go, unless the sub isn't that much behind and has a 9.

All this text, just to say: 7 is good.
