Have you tried to calculate the financial loss by only using your expensive trainer for 2 players instead of 3?

Maybe I'm not being clear. So if my guy gets 47 minutes half a dozen times and 46 minutes three other times over 8 seasons of training, how many extra weeks of training are needed to make up for lost time and to attain your desired results? Probably not significant.

I am blowing out like 70% of my opponents and I am training 6 guys - unless there is an occasional foul out or some injury I almost never had issues with getting 48+ minutes. It's quite puzzling why so many people have problems with getting the minutes right.

Do you mean to say that a trainee will not miss minutes if settings are correct, and no injury/foulout occur?

No subs before garbage time, but when it is my guy gets subbed right away:
3 1:54 19 — 82 It looks like we're now in garbage time.
3 1:54 19 — 82 S. Horák (H) comes off the bench to replace C. Crespi (H) at PG.

(66025407) no garbage time mention, but 32 point differential and first sub at
4 6:27 90 — 58 F. Sharifinia (A) comes in to replace C. Crespi (A) at PG.

(66024529) no garbage time mention but 35 pd and first sub at
4 6:06 52 — 87 S. Horák (H) substituted for C. Crespi (H) at SG.

(72611178) 23 pd and no subs before
4 0:39 109 — 86 S. Horák (A) comes in to replace D. Custers (A) at PG.

(72611098) 26 pd and no subs before
4 0:41 98 — 72 N. Matsyura (A) brought in for D. Custers (A) at PF.

I can't show you the lineup I used, but I've been training a long time and these were not all mistakes in the lineup (otherwise there would be subs earlier in the game). It only happens in blowouts and when a weak player for the position is trained. I'll count stamina as part of the player being weak, because I'm not sure if it's a independent factor.

I did read your post #33, but the next on you posted while I was typing mine so I didn't read that one yet.

Phyr said "(I) Strongly disagree with the statement that blowing a team out has no effect on trainees getting 48+ minutes."

You said he was wrong and was spreading misinformatin right? But I showed you (and you agreed) that blowouts can effect 48+ minutes. Not in all situations, but there are situations where it affects 48+ minutes. So Phyr is not wrong, but I agree it is not necessary to avoid blowouts as a whole and blame everything on it.

I applaud your effort to explain how you can ensure blowouts do NOT effect 48+, because there are indeed other factors in play (which we both named in stamina/skill for position relative to the sub). This is important to know so we can avoid misunderstandings because people only tell 1 side of the story.

This is why I address you too, because it's not that blowouts have no effect, it's just 1 factor that combined with others has an effect. Some people say "I never had trouble with blowouts, so they do not affect 48+ minutes". That is wrong, because they only do not affect it in their situation, but it can in others. If we get too stuck on talking in absolute statements, the actual important information (you did great in explaining them) gets lost in between.

Having a backup trainee still counts as training 3 players.

BBs have admitted CPFDC is bugged. If it works for you, you do you bro. My Dutch friend answered the other part of your question.
