This is the best reply this year for me. Genius idea to save my training

To make it more genius:
- only 9 players on the gane-roster for one-position-training, 8 for two-position-training.
- (strictly) follow depth chart
- max. two positions blank
- let them play
!

Personally, I don't ever blank a position and I generally don't have the problem with substitutions during garbage time of blowouts either.

But I do have to make sure that
1. I never dress more than 2 players per non-training position (so if I'm training 1 position that needs a full 48, I can only dress 9 players total)
2. I set my trainee at Starter + Backup + Reserve for the training position
3. The trainee has at least some stamina - I've had very rare occurrences where a 1-2 stamina player still gets subbed out very late in a blowout, but so far even in those cases he at least attains 44 minutes before going out.
4. I use “Follow Depth Chart” and “Let Them Play”

Not necessarily a perfect solution, but at least doesn't leave me at risk of an unexpected walkover destroying my training.

My typical roster lineup looks something like:
PG - Starter / Good Guard Reserve / Bad Guard Reserve
SG - Starter / Good Guard Reserve / Bad Guard Reserve
SF - Starter / SF Backup / SF Backup
PF - Starter / PF Backup / PF Backup
C - Trainee / Trainee / Trainee
