starters: ABCDE
backups: FGHIJ

(using strictly follow depth chart)
approx 32 minutes for starters and 16 minutes for backups:
A-F-F
B-G-G
C-H-H
D-I-I
E-J-J

appox 36 minutes for starters and 12 minutes for backups:
A-F-A
B-G-B
C-H-C
D-I-D
E-J-E

if ABCDE stamina/skill is significantly higher, ABCDE will get extra minutes over FGHIJ
if the game is a blowout in the 4th quarter, FGHIJ will get extra minutes over ABCDE

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

As others have stated, and I can confirm from experience, this will definitly not work when starters are better players (in my case, the difference is approx 4.5k in salary but the figures aren't big, it's 9.5k vs 5k) and especially if starters have good stamina (mine have strong and above). Again, in my case, starters have played for as much as 44 mins.

Hence why I wrote:

Try reading.

You can't get minutes exact but that's the closest way.

If your starter is consistently getting 44 minutes, then you either have to:
1) use A-F-F instead of A-F-A or get a better backup
2) avoid starters with really high stamina if you're not using a fast paced offense anyway
