(75899296)- Can someone help me and explain how come on a blank line up tactic a player of 2.2M DMI plays 17 minutes while a player on the same position with 900K DMI plays 32 minutes? a player with 2.9M DMI plays 23 minutes while a player on the same position with 260K (!!!) DMI plays 19 minutes.
These are the most obvious examples but it doesn't end there- my star player has also played only 22 minutes with 2 bench players playing 25 minutes each- what the hell is going on?

The blank line up is the only way currently to spread minutes correctly if you don't have a specific type of team which contains 5 obvious starters and 5 obvious subs.

I've been using BL for a long time by now- sincerely at the moment when I'm walking into a game which I wanna win the best way to do it for me is BL, putting on a lineup is for trainnings and minutes management.

So to sum it all up- I've used and am aware of how BL is supposed to act, what suddenly happened? what have triggered this unpredictable behavior by the engine which completly screwed my game (and my season...).

Not adding any real explanatory value here but am always interested in how the game engine works so here goes:

Is the minutes primarily related to the foul troubles? So many fouls, so early on.

How can you "guess" that my best 3 players would all get fouled out given the chance to play?

could also be to do with stamina

and also to do with availability of other players at other positions.
and also to do with the opportunities to perform substitutions - eg: no break in play means subs dont happen when you think they would.

This is not related to Blank Lineups, but still it is to faulty minutes count.

In the past seasons I regularly employes lineups that gave me the "default" 36 mins for the starter, and 10+2 for the backup.
1 minute more, 1 minute less, it was really very reliable and acceptable.
This season, though, I have seen a great blowup of this "rule", with starters playing around 40+ and backups stopping at just 4/6/8.
Quite regularly.

I noticed, as well, that games this season are more balanced, less lopsided, and more tight in score until the end.
Does this influence the minutes count for each and every role significantly, or did something change in the engine that impacted the so cool 36/10/2 minutes for different roles ?

Or is it a bug (not quite convinced of this, although it manifested just recently, after 5/6 seasons of a reliable distribution in all situations).

Thank you for any help !

as you said. the games are tight in score until the end. this should be the main reason for your starters to stay in the game. if nothing else changed (stamina, the skillset of you starters/backups etc.) it may be that your opponents just got better
