Even if you set just 5 players they still won't get 48 minutes in 1 position.

haha so you are going to play your starters and crunch time? :P I shall not be testing the tanking theory :P
However I won't be playing all my starters either :P First goal is to not relegate from div 2 :P However I might change my mind at the last second so who knows :D

I'm looking at playing 3 starters, a backup and one trainee. Depends on minutes I guess, if I'm creaming my next opponent it gives me better minutes to work with in the cup.

I'm almost certain of a playoff spot, so league is still priority. Cup just give me a better national rank..

Well... You better start working on staying in II.. Not exactly a good start!

haha well I figure I only need to come 7th :P So I've thrown the first few games and just going to concentrate on beating the weak teams. I still make 250k a week minimum so not really concerned yet :) And my last league game shows that if I pick my battles right, once I'm out of the cup I can certainly win a few games :)

yeah I haven't decided what I'm going to do in the cup yet. Either tie with scrubs or crunch time with all starters :P Or some variation of the 2 hahaha.
I wish I drew a bot!

What I dont understand is, why is it so vital that 1 player get 48 minutes in his training position in the one game? Is there not another 2 games that week?

well if you do 1 position and 3 trainees in 3 matches a week every trainee has to get 48 mins in a game to get full training. Saturday game number1 trainee gets 48. Number 2 and 3 have zero. Tuesday walkover, number 2 trainee only gets 43 mins, now u have to get number 2 trainee 5 mins and number 3 trainee 48 mins in a 48 min game. Number 2 doesn't recieve full training, only possible is their is an unlikely OT and you put trainee 2 as resevre. Still then its not a guarntee

Still, if you are single position training 3 players at one time, wouldn't be better to sacrifice one week of training to your third best trainee rather than change the training plan just to get a pop?
Also, how does one 48 minute game every week go on gameshape? (Note: Second question is not theoretical. I only want an answer if you have actually done it with your own trainees.)

Easy.

Training PG One Position.

3 Trainees play PG once a week.

When they're not playing, you can use them as backup for say, SG/SF. Usually rounds to 70 minutes.

That system wouldnt suit my team at the moment, but if there is no ill effects from it, would be very handy in a few seasons when my current guys are more established. Thanks.

So I really think something should be done about teams who create walkovers. I just noticed that the team I was complaining about (30080) fired all three of its draft picks, including one with all star potential and over 3700 salary and one with perennial all star potential and about 4000 salary. This proves that the manager is NOT:
1) trying to make money
2) getting rid of old players to train young ones

And he's doing this on purpose, because he is an experienced manager. (One of the top teams in our league last season.)
At the moment he still only has 1 player on his team.

The only possible reason for his actions is that he has developed a grudge against our league and wants to annoy us. Or maybe he doesnt have a grudge and is doing this to piss people off just for fun, neither of which is fair.
