You can't manage GS properly with only 12 players.

I don't want to be playing any of my 4 starters in scrimmages.

It's much easier to manage GS with 12 players (but 2 or 3 of them are scrubs, who will play in the scrimmage).
If you think about it, say you have 8 players roster. The average minutes each player will receive every week would be; 90 minutes (48*5*3/8), which is too much. If you have 12 players roster, the average minutes each player will receive every week would be; 60 minutes, which is very very ideal.
I'm not saying everybody will play exactly 60 minutes...because that's almost impossible, but on average, playing 60 minutes and 90 minutes is a huge difference. 90 minutes will drop the GS, increase the chance of injury etc compared to 60 minutes. Ofc when you have 8 players roster as an example, you could always play 3 players for the scrimmage etc, but anyway, having 12 players will be much easier to manage GS (unless u're training GS every week).

Or he could have Depth in his bench and then just go Starter/Backup for every odd numbered game and Backup/Starter for even numbered games.
so like
you can put ur trainee's as either Starters/backups depending on thier Skill's
Game 1:
Starters/backups
Game 2: Put your trainees in the oposite spot so if they were starters make them Backup and viceversa
Backups/Starters
Game 3:same as gameone put your trainee's where you had em p.s i suggest you stick with one trainee and focus on him
Starters/Backups

I suggest you TIE(take it easy) some games you might not win many games but after a while your Enthusiasm will go up alot after about 1-2 weeks you will start winning games with TIE( take it Easy).

thats my 20cents.
please dont buy scrubs on your team that just gives your team a weakspot

with the 10 man roster your team's average minutes is 60-74 which is good enough

that equation that person gave you doesnt workout unless you have the same starters start everygame and every player play the same minutes
I can't Force you to use this all i can say is that it works for me and it might work for you p.s try to find your teams tactic and play style as that too will help with games
