This Cup game is before we play, so I have no need of letting my players rest. If I have another Cup game next week, I'll think about it at that point.
ha, that shows how much attention i've been paying lately. Forgot you hadn't played this week's cup game yet.
well... after taking on so many Dudes last night, your star players surely need their rest. You've got a tough next cup opponent, but the good news is that you're at home. The only sensible course of action is to throw your next road league game (on 9/13/2014) & give next week's cup game your all!
And don't think you had to italicize briefly for me to catch that pun. 
That all makes good sense (well, except it's a neutral site rather than home), but it'll be the second week in a row I play a team at a neutral site in the Cup that I beat earlier in the private league at a neutral site. Unfortunately, that game Hassan was trying out a blank lineup in the scenario where it doesn't work any more so I was fortunate to win.
I would think, though, if I were going to rest my players for a game, I'd want to rest them the game before the Cup game so I'll have more time to react if an injury does occur. Besides, though I haven't looked at the schedule or scouting report yet, my scouting staff has assured me that my next game will be played against a nursing home squad, which might not tire out our starters like playing a young, vibrant squad might. Of course, this is the same scouting staff that insisted that Morgan Menard was worth purchasing and training despite doo-doo scalp.
