The only other thing I can think of is asking if you are 100% certain on your tactics? It’s entirely possible a small slip-up such as A/B/A or even A/B/blank instead of A/B/B in a lineup could force such thing (as the “reserve” is the starter in this instance?) or that “coach decides until 4th” would certainly set the better players in for max minutes.

Watching through it, I didn’t see anything obvious either, but both of those options come to mind.

I think to see 0.5 or even a negative 0.5 for a player rating, the coach was having none of it

I had a bit of the opposite problem: 9 players, one on the three C spots to get 48min training (or at least close to).
Follow depth chart, no injury, not fouled out but he played only 35min...

Hi, leave the starter spot blank, put the trainee in back up and reserve spots

I hate so much the fact that my training minutes are impacted by how well the opposition is playing
I had many cases in which a league match or tournament match that should have been close was not because my opponent decided to rest his starters. because of that, my starters played only 24 minutes and my training went down.

in my opinion, if we have the training tied to the game minutes then my coach should not decide to put in the reserves in blowouts.

PS: I was running strictly follow depth chart and had starter + backup only, no reserve filled in.

It is by God order, it happened to me also few times.. I think all the coaches are high, or probably most of them, because this is hard
