Interesting. Best rosterwise or best matchupwise?

No i read it right. I guess it is only (as it should be imho) true in case of no lineup set at all - say empty slots and let coach decide is not the case. That's why I was asking, as long as coach picks from depth chart, let coach decide settings are there or lack of substitutes for any reason, some mechanism for coach is used.

at present some mechanism is used, its just not a very good one...

I mean, I have to say, I feel a bit that people are being a bit... I want my cake and eat it too... i want 48 minutes of one guy playing.. but if anything crazy happens, I dont want to be responsible for taking that risk and I want the game to not punish me for taking that risk. I think actually those are exactly the sorts of tradeoffs that make a game fun. You take a risk you get a reward or you else it doesnt work and you suffer the consequences.

If it is any help: I think that it has always been perfectly clear that computer-lineups are "bad" lineups. Otherwise some unmanaged teams or bots would have a far better performance.

And yes, it is subsequently perfectly clear that we get the same bad picks, if the substitution slots have been left blank.

Definitely, definitely no bug.
