...on the other hand, playing LI even with low stamina enables subs to step in earlier in the game, thus registering significant minutes needed for training.. or even a more balanced minute distribution which is essential for teams who wants training minutes spared evenly.
It all depends on the other team too, which is the risky part... because if you're playing against a good team, starters tend to get almost all the minutes just to catch up with the score. Coaches always play the game to win, and make sub patterns in order to win, not to give training minutes to players, though.
