How about using the blank lineup, is it better than setting it yourself? I've never used it, I have trainees, and I can manage GS with SFDC. I'm curious if it gives better results..
When you say 'blank lineup', do you mean you just select the guys who can play at the top. Then set tactics and leave the rest?
I have no experience with this at all. Although I am intrigued to give it a go.
I do it in the private league each week. Works ok but less control over minutes. If you only have 1 or 2 trainees I guess you would just name them in their spots and leave the rest clear.
