Agreed. No reason to play him 48min a game...EVERY GAME! only needs 48min a week to get training. You could train 2 guys just as efficiently. If you want to see him put up stats and help your team win, then give him starters minutes and sit him during cup games. 25-32 min a game, 2 games a week will help him increase gameshape which will increase productivity, and less likely to suffer a 2-3 week injury which would set back his training quite a bit.
